After we have got the purpose of Hari Seva.. we must realise on our true identity. Most of us identify ourselves with our jobs and titles. The first question between two people is usually, what do you do (for a living)?
We identify with our marital status, designation, parents of somebody, or worse, knowing some VIP...
Fundamentally we need to know that we are not the body, we are the soul. The soul is never changing and the body and its relations are ever changing. The soul is who we are and the body is like a cloth which we wear temporarily before we discard it for another. When we look at the timeline from beginning of time till the end of time we are able to zoom out and see things in perspective. These 75-80 years of this life seem like a flash of light, so fleeting and temporary.
"Dasoham Kosalendrasya" said Hanumantha to Raavana when asked who he was. He didn't tell I am the great Hanuman in Sugrivas army. I flew 100 yojanas without taking a break. I found Seeta and I set fire to Lanka. I am dearest to Lord Rama..
The time we have is limited.. This human birth should be used in Hari seva.. which makes each of us Hari Dasa/ Dasi..
Maybe not directly dasa of Hari.. but haridasara dasara dasara dasara dasa...Like Kanakadasaru and Vijayadasaru wrote in some of their famous songs.
"Naanu Vishnu dasa".. That includes dasatva of Vishnu and Vaishnavas. That must be how we identify ourselves.. Then we may begin to see the Lord in everything and everyone and how we are only enacting the role the Lord has written for us.
