The ultimate goal of Bhakti is to get Krishna and we get it by taking shelter of the holy name.

Higher position means greater service and an apportunity to purely represent Srila Prabhupada. Hence our management must be based on humility and tolerance.

To struggle is difficult but to surrender is easy. Surrender is the beginning of devotion.

When you come before spiritual master, be prepared to get chastised. Spiritual Master's business is to do that. Shisya means who is ready is accept 'sashan' or ready dor getting chastisement.
