Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura has said, “O my dear friends do not waste your valuable time in acquiring all these good qualities. The only one requirement is to have pure sädhu-saìga. Take shelter at the lotus feet of a pure devotee and engage yourself in bhajana under his guidance, then you can develop pure devotion and automatically all good qualities will develop…”

His Association Is Needed to Achieve Kṛṣṇa

“…We have a destination, a goal. Our goal is to get allbeautiful Kåñëa, Çyämasundara. So how can you get the allbeautiful Kåñëa? Therefore you need a premé-bhakta who has bound up Çyämasundara in his heart…”

He Sees Kṛṣṇa Everywhere
