You are very good combination. You have got nice place. So improve, improve your devotional activities, and this Hawaii, this place is also very nice. People work very nicely, and there are many people who are hankering after something spiritual. So these are the good opportunities, so be yourself a pure Vaiṣṇava. Pure Vaiṣṇava means anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ (CC Madhya 19.167). No more desires, ār nā koriho mane āśā. This is devotee. Except service of Kṛṣṇa, there is no other thing. That is devotee. So that service is given by the spiritual master, and the spiritual master will approve, "Yes your service is all right," then Kṛṣṇa is also pleased. So in this way execute devotional service. Try to do some good to others, because they are suffering on account of ignorance. Lokasya ajānatah, they do not know what is the aim of life, living like animals. So the Vedic mantra is, uttisthatā jāgrata prāpya varān nibhodata. The same Vedic mantra is sung by Bhaktivinode Thakura, jīv jāgo, jīv jāgo. So we have to awaken them. They are sleeping under the spell of māyā, and forgotten his real identity, and suffering—not only this life, life after lifetime. So, ei rūpe brahmāṇḍa brahmite kona bhāgyavān jīva ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.151|CC Madhya 19.151]]). So our . . . it is our duty to awaken. If he does not awake, that is his misfortune, but our duty is, "Please, get up, get up, get up, get up." This is our duty.
