Association of devotees is to strive to hear from and to give pleasure to those who have the great treasure of love of God. Narottam Das Thakur in his prayers to the departed Vaisnavas, he prays in this way - he is beating his head against the rock in separation, longing for the association of those devotees who have, who had that great treasure of Prema Bhakti within their hearts, within their lives and who are distributing the contents of that treasure to the world.

Question: Do I Have to Leave My Family? |
||||
I would now like to bring your attention to a question which creates confusion in my mind.

Is the material body, simply a bag of stool, urine, blood, mucus, and other horrible things?
Once upon a time a prince met a very beautiful young girl. Immediately upon seeing her beauty, the prince decided to marry the beautiful girl. But she didn’t want to marry him, as she knew that the prince was only interested in her material senses, her beauty, and not her real self.
