la’be—you should chant; vraje—in Vrndavana; radha-krsna-seva—service to

TRANSLATION

“Do not expect honor, but offer all respect to others. Always chant the holy
name of Lord Krsna, and within your mind render service to Radha and Krsna
in Vrndavana.

PURPORT

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya that when a man
and woman are married, they beget children and are thus entangled in family life.
Talk concerning such family life is called gramya-katha. A person in the renounced
order never indulges in either hearing or talking about such subjects. He should
not eat palatable dishes, since that is unfit for a person in the renounced order. He
should show all respect to others, but should not expect respect for himself. In
this way, one should chant the holy name of the Lord and think of how to serve
Radha and Krsna in Vrndavana.
