The Lord is sufficient in Himself, and He does not need all that we can offer Him. However, if we offer Him a little water, a flower and a tulasi leaf, He will accept them. Devotional service is most important in satisfying the Supreme Lord.
Logos 193
We must obey the will of the Supreme and Absolute Being, God, for no one can escape at his command and at his desire.
The Lord said: “Those who always serve Me with love and devotion, I give them intelligence through which they will be able to come to Me.”
The servant of God never accomplish anything without the permission of the Lord Supreme. No one can disobey the orders of the Supreme Lord, even if he were to have great power, it is not in their power to disobey the orders of the Sovereign Lord. No one may override the will of God, the Supreme Person, nor may have recourse to the powers conferred upon him by the practice of religion, his material wealth or any other means, whether by himself or with the help of others, to defy the orders of the Sovereign Lord. From Brahma the demiurge to the ant, no living being has the power. Everything is under the dominion of God, the Supreme Person. All beings, whatever their positions, owe him obedience. No one can escape the laws and instructions of the Sovereign Lord, whether through supernatural powers, scientific knowledge, austerities or penances. It is simply impossible.
In truth, everything is for the pleasure of the Sovereign Lord. God, the Supreme Person, is the Absolute Master, and everything exists only for his pleasure, so everything must harmonize with his pleasure and service. Whatever the circumstances, favorable or unfavorable, one must use everything to serve the Supreme Lord. This is how you can make perfect use of your intelligence.
Logos 194
The Lord said: “He who earnestly and sincerely devotes himself to My service immediately reaches the level of transcendence where he can benefit from infinite spiritual bliss.”
From the Lord Supreme everything emanates, for he is the original source of all that exists. He is the source of bliss, of true permanent and uninterrupted happiness that bathes all who love and serve him with love and devotion. Even on earth, you will already be smelling of it. He is the fountain of all happiness. If we come into contact
