associating (1)

"But in this life, if we develop Kṛṣṇa consciousness by association of devotees... As Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has sung...

tāṅdera caraṇa-sevi-bhakta-sane vāsa

One's aim of life should be to serve the ācāryas. Ācārya upāsanam. So our ācārya in the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Sampradāya, the śrī-rūpa sanātana bhaṭṭa-raghunātha, śrī-jīva gopāla-bhaṭṭa dāsa-raghunātha, the Six Gosvāmīns, and if we associate with them... this book, Nectar of Devotion, Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, if you read regularly, try to understand, this means you are associating with Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī directly. And if you act accordingly, then you are serving their lotus feet."

Srila Prabhupada The Nectar of Devotion Vrndavana, October 20, 1972

NOTE: So similarly if we read Prabhupada's books regularly and try to understand, then we are associating with Srila Prabhupada directly. And if we act accordingly, then we are serving His lotus Feet...As Prabhupada often says "Where is the difficulty?"

Jaya Srila Prabh
