Rupa Goswami warns us that a devotee must be very attentive even in the most ordinary activities in devotional service, never to become routine. That just to become mechanical, automatic; this is the time I do this, this is the time I do this. Whatever we do as sadhana must be done with bhavana, must be with feeling, must be with Consciousness, what I am doing and why I am doing and who I am doing it for, (and) what is the purpose? Whether we are sweeping the floor, whether we are listening to class, whether we are doing our work outside as a doctor or a consultant or a temple president or food for life or a lawyer or a proprietor of children’s orphanage, book distributor, pujari, whatever we do, we must do it with a Consciousness, with a feeling that I am doing this as a servant of the servant to please Krish na, to please vaishnavas; (and) how can I do it better, how can I do it with more awareness, what Consciousness; that is very essential.
