humility alone pleases krishna

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is teaching us how to aspire for trinadapi sunichena: to be humble like a straw in the street. What is its significance? No one cares for it, people step on it, spit on it, ultimately somebody sweeps it away, but the straw on the streets remains very humble. Let us be more tolerant than the tree, ready to offer all respects to others and to expect none in return. These are the qualities that attract Krishna.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu told Sanatana Goswami that it is humility alone that pleases Krishna. Krishna does not care how much money you give Him, Krishna does not care how many beautiful offerings you give Him, Krishna does not care how artistically you dress Him, He does not care how profoundly you can speak His philosophy, He does not care how many delicious preparation you can make for Him in your kitchen. He cares for the humility with which it is being offered because it is this humility that gives flavor and pleasure to the service we are rendering.
