So our... Pure Vaisnava, they do not want to see even Krsna. They are satisfied with the service of Krsna. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy. Aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam marma-hatam karotu va. Marma-hatam karotu va [Cc. Antya 20.47]. A pure Vaisnava, he simply always expects, "When that time will come, Krsna will be pleased to accept me?" Otherwise he is not very hasty. But he is interested with the service. That is pure Vaisnava. A pure Vaisnava can go to the hell for serving Krsna, but he is not aspirant for his personal comfort. Any condition... Mama janmani janmanisvare. This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's teaching. Janmani janmanisvare bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki tvayi. Na dhanam na janam na sundarim kavitam va jagadisa kamaye [Cc. Antya 20.29, Siksastaka 4]. Aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam marma-hatam karotu va. So this Krsna consciousness movement is very great movement, more valuable than the conception of Lord Siva or Lord Brahma, because it is given by Krsna personally, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So do not try to see Krsna in His virat form. Simply try to serve Him in humble position. Then your life will be successful.
