Devotion is instantaneous acceptance: whatever Vāsudeva orders, do it perfectly.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Translation: "Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: Being thus addressed by the messengers of Yamarāja, Vāsudeva smiled and spoke the following words in voices as deep as the sound of rumbling clouds." Prabhupāda: śri-śuka uvāca ity ukte yamadūtais te vāsudevokta-kāriṇaḥ tān pratyūcuḥ prahasyedaṁ megha-nirhrādayā girā [SB 6.1.37] In this verse the word vāsudevokta-kāriṇaḥ... Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa. Vāsudeva-ukta, ukta means what is said by Vāsudeva. Ukta means what is spoken by Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa.
Vāsudevokta-kāriṇaḥ: they'll do that, that's all. This is devotee. There is no difficulty to become devotee. At once you can become a devotee, within a second.
They ask something, sometimes, that "How long it will take to become a devotee?" It will take one second. How? Vāsudevokta-kāriṇaḥ. You simply accept that whatever Vāsudeva says, you'll do.
That's all. Vāsudeva says so many things. Vāsudeva says to Arjuna that "You fight." So if you accept, "Yes, I'll fight," then you become devotee. But Arjuna denied, "No, Kṛṣṇa, I'll not fight." That is our disease.
Our whole disease is that as soon as we agree to accept the words of Kṛṣṇa, we are liberated, immediately. We are immediately in the Vaikuṇṭha. As as soon we deny, immediately within māyā. kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīve bhoga vāñchā kare pāsate māyā tāre jāpaṭiyā dhare Two things are there. If you deny to keep yourself in the light, then go to the darkness.
And if you deny to keep yourself in the darkness, then go to the light. Two things are side by side. If you agree to act according to Vāsudeva's instruction, His order, then you are immediately liberated person. And if you do not, then you are immediately under illusion, māyā. So this is wanted, liberation.
But it is very difficult to accept the position that "I shall do whatever Vāsudeva says." Immediately our life becomes very clear and happy. Not only happy in this life, but also next life. Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya [Bg 4.9]. If we accept simply to obey the words of Vāsudeva...
