In Krishna's service, there are many offences to avoid
Hayagriva Dasa: When typing in the room where Swamiji takes prasadam, I move the typewriter with my leg. "Oh no!" Swamiji says. "Don't let leg touch!" I'm surprised and even a little annoyed. After all, why is my leg any less spiritual than the typewriter? "You mean the typewriter is spiritual and the body isn't?" I ask. "This material body is like an embarrassment for the soul," Swamiji explains. "It becomes spiritualized only by rendering service. In Krishna's service, there are many offenses to avoid, and the spiritual master tells us what they are. Otherwise, we have no way of knowing." Day by day, instance by instance, Swamiji lets us know what's offensive.
