Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
The original quality of a sadhu is to have one-pointed devotion. The one who is serving Krishna is serving all. The most elevated stage is to serve Krishna. If you pour water into the roots, the whole plant will be nourished. If you give food to the stomach, the whole body will be nourished. If you serve Krishna, you serve all. This is the fundamental original quality of a sadhu.
Will the aquatic animals living in the rivers, seas, and oceans get Bhagavan? No. There are many vegetarians like goats etc. By simply becoming vegetarians you cannot get Bhagavan. Without one-pointed devotion nobody can get Bhagavan. A person who wants Bhagavan from the core of his heart will immediately get Him; we perform japa of Bhagavan and we get something else. The one who has the one-pointed devotion to the Supreme Lord is a sadhu. He does not worship any demigod. But he knows that by serving Krishna he serves all. Sadhus have got respect for all but they respect them in relation to Sri Krishna. They do not go and worship any demigod. All the demigods are satisfied with the sudha bhaktas. The demigods are congenial to all those who have devotion to Lord Hari. So we should have one-pointed devotion. Krishna has said: mam ekam saranam vraja.
Sadhus cannot live without hearing and speaking about Krishna, just like a fish cannot live without water. Without hearing about Krishna’s name, fame, pastimes and without engaging their senses in the service of Krishna, sadhus cannot live in this world. But some are doing for business. They speak about Krishna with another motive. Bhagavan is omnipotent. If I take shelter of Bhagavan, will He not protect me? Everywhere there are mishaps, but when God protects, nobody can do anything. Sadhus know that God will protect them. Therefore, they are calm and serene.
