Is this instruction specific for one living in Braja? How about Nabadwip Dham, or Path Bari?
And: Sweeper of what? Sweeping the public sewage canals, or the marble-floor in the mandir?
Taking the spirit of the letter it means to take the lowest possible position in a place for maintenance. As I understand the present sadhakas in Radhakund receive a daily maintenance (in the form of boga, chapatis or whatever) "paid" out to them. I have always felt great respect for Boro Baba, and this instruction is another proof of his greatness in showing the way: Embracing total insecurity to experience full dependence (on the garbage others throw out for instance).
On the other hand, what would that mean for a westerner? Notebook, MP3 and Digital camera would be out
. Back to basics... Become a garbage recycler, expert on plastic bag management...
Would the sweepers allow a westerner to take over their job? Would the government allow?
What did he mean by imitating vaishnavas? Be authentic rather than follow others externally?
Time is dangerous...
