Vishnu Bhakti, faith in Lord Vishnu is one of the fundamentals/foundation of Dvaita ethics.
🙏🙏🙏
Lord Vishnu to be remembered/worshipped always is the greatest injunction of Shastras/Vedas/Puranas, all other rules being secondary.
वेदे रामायणे चैव पुराणे भारतेतथा।
आदौ अन्ते च मध्ये च विष्णुः सर्वत्र गीयते॥

‘Vede ramayane caiva purane bharate tatha’
Adavantau ca madhye ca Vishnuh sarvatra giyate’

आदि, अन्त, मध्यभाग of वेद, रामायण, पुराण and महाभारत; all of them sing the glories of Vishnu the Supreme God.

If Maatha-Pitha-Guru are pleased with your actions, it is as good as obtaining sampoorna phala (rewards) for performing several austerities.

तयोर्नित्यं प्रियं कुर्यादाचार्यस्य च सर्वदा ।
तेष्वेव त्रिषु तुष्टेषु तपः सर्वं समाप्यते ॥

(Manu Smruthi)
tayornityaṃ priyaṃ kuryādācāryasya ca sarvadā |
teṣveva triṣu tuṣṭeṣu tapaḥ sarvaṃ samāpyate ||

(Manu Smruthi)
Therefore, one should always do (as long as one lives not restricted to only once/twice) what is pleasing to those two (Father & Mother) and to the preceptor; on these three being satisfied, all austerity becomes completed.
