Question: Sometimes I try to serve or do something good for Vaiṣṇavas, but sometimes they misunderstand me. Then I have also lost my desire to serve Vaiṣṇavas,in that case, how can I handle these situations? How can I prosper my desire of service to those Vaiṣṇavas?

Jayapataka Swami: We saw Lord Caitanya in His third verse of the Śikṣāṣṭaka, He says amāninā māna-dena, kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ – He says we should offer all respect to others and not expect any respect for ourselves. So, we want to serve the Vaiṣṇavas because they are dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa,and they may or may not appreciate. But following Lord Caitanya’s instruction, we shouldn’t be affected by that. We should continue to want to serve the Vaiṣṇavas. Now you can try to understand how we could improve,but we are doing so, as a desire to please Kṛṣṇa.
