The question is consistancy and belief in yourself, others and the object of your devotion. It is easy to dismiss realizations as mere flickerings of the brain, as some weird result of concentration, whatever justification there may be. But what about the daily effects, the ones outside japa or kirtan? What about the growing feelings that you get day after day, that Lord

Prabhupāda: He was not in devotional service.

Devotee: He was not serving Vishnu?

Prabhupāda: He was trained in Vishnu worship. Vishnu worship is not a

Kunti says, “My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only by those who are materially exhausted. One who is on the path of material progress, trying to improve himself with respectable parentage, great opulence, high education and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere feeling.”

Devotee: What sort of living entity is Māyādevī?

Prabhupāda: She is Vaishnavī, a great devotee of Krishna. But she has accepted a thankless task – to punish. The policeman is a sincere government servant, but he has accepted a task – therefore nobody likes him. (laughs) If some policeman comes here, immediately you shall feel disturbed.

As you do know, leading a life of Brahmacharya is Lord Krishna's wish for us as it is stated in the Bhagavad Gita chapter 16 verse 21 : there are three gates leading to this hell – lust, anger and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul. as well as in bhagavad gita chapter 4 verse 26 purport:
