“This kind of so many clear sloka from Srimad Bhagavatam we are getting. Bhagavatam giving that clear conception about bhakti-yoga. And that I am telling.. sadhu, easily not to be sadhu everyone. That’s also one difficulty. But that is not my business who is sadhu or asadhu, whole day I shall search in the street, it is not my business. I am not drain inspector, actually. I am servitor of my Lord, means my Guru. Immediate connection with Krishna through Guru, no other way we will get it. And who have that he is very good. And who have not easily will get that, or some disconnection happen through appearance or disappearance… but heart transaction and negotiation with the divine instruction of Gurudev, that will save us. Cannot see my Guru Maharaj is seated there  but I feel Guru Maharaj with us, always… like that. Anything happening I am feeling in front of us, Guru Maharaj in back of us, Srila Guru Maharaj,  then we are happily proceeding in the way of spiritual life. This way we are moving. And who can do that he must be so fortunate soul, no doubt.”
