Devotional Service at Any Ashram Is the Perfection of Life

Radhanath Swami

We see in their house very beautiful deities of Gaur Nitai, Jagannath, Baladev, Subhadra, very nice sadhana. Not only do they perform their occupational duties in a very honest and exemplary way, but also, they come to the temple practically every day, eager to chant, worship the deities, render service, always eager to serve vaisnavas, invite them to their homes; devotional service, in any varna or any asrama, is the perfection of life. Therefore, sincere and honest devotees are not so concerned with simply the external appearances, but they are concerned with the aspiration that a person has in life. If people are living by the regulative principles, according to their varna and asrama, with the motivation of devotional service, that is worshipable by everyone.
