(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2005)

The other way to get the dust is by following in the Footsteps of the Lord.
Lord Krishna is also acting as the spiritual master of the three worlds;
Lord Krishna is acting as the Supreme Teacher; Again and again, Lord
Krishna is teaching transcendental knowledge in various ways!

In one way we see a description of Lord Krishna when he lives in Dwarika,
of how he performs his daily activities. He rises early in the morning, at
the first crowing of the rooster. He is right up, although embraced by his
queen. He is not caring and just gets up and takes His bath – I do not
remember the full sequence, but He gives cows in charity to the brahmanas;
He engages in morning meditation in Krishna's case He meditates on Himself
because He is the Supreme Lord, and is meditating on the Supreme Lord. So
one should not think that we should meditate on ourselves, it means that we
should meditate on the Supreme Lord – and Krishna is doing some.

So Krishna in His meditation on the Supreme Lord is showing by example,
what our daily activities should be. So by following in the Footsteps of
the Personality, one also gets the dust of His Lotus Feet. So following in
this process has been indicated and followed by Krishna Himself. Krishna
accepted a bone fide spiritual master. Krishna always worshiped the
brahmanas.

We see that when Sudāmā came, Krishna immediately stepped down from the
throne, and put Sudāmā on there, and worshiped him to get him the laxmi. In
this way, we see how Krishna sets many standards! And by following these
standards very carefully, we also get the dust of the Lotus Feet of
Krishna! This is another way! So this is very important that we somehow or
other go for it!

If we approach Krishna in a humble way – not in an argumentative way but
in a submissive way in a way of listening to the transcendental
instructions that Krishna gave, then we can very quickly understand that
devotional service to Him is everything!

'bahūnāṁ janmanām ante

jñānavān māṁ prapadyate

vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti

sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ' (B.G. 7.19)

Otherwise it may take many many births before we can actually understand
that devotional service is the goal of life!
