In the beginning he [Arjuna] was not in agreement with Krsna. He made so
many arguments with Krsna against fighting. And at the end, he agreed.
"Yes," he said. He became a yes man. So we have to become a yes man to the
Supreme Lord. That's all. That is the perfection of our spiritual life. Now
we are all "no men." God says this, I say "no." Stubborn. I say, "no." Now
simply we have to say "yes". That's all. In everything we say, "no" at the
present. Present formation of our existence is to say "no." Anything godly,
we say "no." We shudder even by the name of God. We have come to a certain
stage of our civilized life, that we want to banish God altogether. Not only
saying "no," but we now prepare to agree to the point that there is no
existence of God. So how much foolish we are becoming day by day in the name
of advancement of civilization.
So we should correct this. Now, we shall try to understand our position and
try to say "Yes, there is God, and I am servant of God." That's all.
...Simply we have to agree. "Yes." Yes man. Simply you have to agree, "Yes,"
henceforward we shall become karma-yogi. Then, from that very point, your
life begins. Karma-yoga. The yes man. Mind that, that instead of saying no
to Krsna... Just like Arjuna said no in the beginning: "No, sir. I am not
going to fight. You don't try to induce me, my dear Krsna." He argued so
many things with Krsna. Then, at the last moment, he said, "Yes. I shall
fight." So from "no man" to "yes man," that's all. So we have to agree. We
are now "no men." We say everything about God, "no." Now we have to learn
"yes."

Becoming Krsna's "yes man"
This morning I was thinking whether to save for myself for dinner or to distribute to others. I felt for a while and then thought, distributing to others give more pleasure than consuming for the self. Of course I had other left overs for dinner, so I was saved anyway. As Srila Prabhupada used to say, Charity begins at home. This quote from Maharaja is so motivating me when I read it myself and giving me the feeling that I did it in the right way.

Miser knows his self-interest, "How much nice foodstuff I have got to eat
daily." That's all. And liberal, "How much Krsna prasada I am distributing
to the world."
