Unalloyed service to one’s guru will seal our entrance back to Krishna. There is absolutely no doubt about this. Krishna says (do not remember the reference) that serving Krishna’s devotees is a true devotee than one who serves Krishna directly. In other words, Krishna is highly pleased when we serve His devotees. The guru represents Krishna and is a confidential associate of Krishna. Therefore, unalloyed service to guru is our salvation back to God.
The test in this service is our false-ego. We cannot serve guru without reservation if we have false-ego. Service with false-ego is not pure and will not guarantee our entrance back to Krishna. Therefore our test in this material world is to relinquish our false ego and serve guru with utmost surrender and humility. Merely relinquishing false-ego is not good enough or mere service is not good enough. Service without any false-ego means full surrender and dependence on guru and Krishna. This is wanted.
If we win this battle over our own false-ego, we will have free access to unlimited and unalloyed service to our guru thus pleasing Krishna.
Letting go of our false ego is just not easy!
