seeing through the eyes of scriptures

A message from within !
Sri Krsna has inspired me from within to convey this message, and I am being reminded again and again so I can not ignore the request of the Supreme Personality of Godhead so here it goes:Image may contain: one or more people

Nothing in this world can save one, not any amount of neophyte disciples glorifying one with false or correct sentiments, inflating ones false ego like a balloon .Wether you got a watch made of Gold from Srila Prabhupada or you bought a "vacation" house at Govardhana hill with money from your disciples all will be taken away at the time of death.

All these are fallible soldiers :

dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣv
ātma-sainyeṣv asatsv api
teṣāṁ pramatto nidhanaṁ
paśyann api na paśyati
SYNONYMS
deha—body; apatya—children; kalatra—wife; ādiṣu—and in everything in relation to them; ātma—own; sainyeṣu—fighting soldiers; asatsu—fallible; api—in spite of; teṣām—of all of them; pramattaḥ—too attached; nidhanam—destruction; paśyan—having been experienced; api—although; na—does not; paśyati—see it.
TRANSLATION
Persons devoid of ātma-tattva do not inquire into the problems of life, being too attached to the fallible soldiers like the body, children and wife. Although sufficiently experienced, they still do not see their inevitable destruction.

neophyte disciples are also fallible soldiers ,they have to be given up at least at the time of death ,the sat sisyas real disciples remain with the Guru wether dead or alive and will be in his heart ,if they are true disciples they will follow their Guru and serve him in his next step in devotional service wether in material or spiritual world ,of they may not follow him at all unless the Guru is uttama adhikari and knows his Siddha Svarupa, then all disciples are lost at death and this is mostly the case.Exceptions are there like the Goswamis ,if Guru is not chanting 64 rounds minimum daily and avoiding Nama Aparadha and discipels also how it can be birth after birth relationship ,not possible.Plus in Goloka you have no servants you are to serve Sri Sri Radha Krsna only , if you still want to be a big hot shot fall ego personality you can be born again along with yout envious neophyte discipels .In most cases these relationships are not eternal , but if your Guru is Srila Prabhupada or some other uttama adhikari Guru then relationship is eternal.If Guru does not know his Nitya Svarupa specifically not just that I am Krsnas servant then he is a kanistha or madhyama Guru at best ,he is not an eternal guide to such disciples ,if one wants to be socalled served in stead of serving the Divine couple one is nto free from envy and will be born again.Srila Prabhupada once said most of my disciples wants to be demigods
