“It is guaranteed that as long as you stick to the order of the spiritual master you can accomplish whatever is ordered. But we must develop a sincere heart.”

“In Krishna Consciousness our first business is how to train the mind so that it becomes friendly. You cannot force the mind. You have to train it. You have to mold it. You have to nurture the mind. You have to handle the mind in such a way that it is always friendly with you. That is one of the secrets of advancing in Krishna Consciousness"

--- Srila Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Swami.

Lord Kṛṣṇa said, “The pure devotees are always within the core
of My heart, and I am always in the core of their hearts. My dear
devotees know nothing else but Me, and I do not know anything
apart from them.

"Haridasa Thakura was the crown jewel on the head of this world;
without him, this world is now bereft of its valuable jewel."
