Devotional Service
By the slow process of devotional service, under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master, one can attain the highest stage.
Acting Very Diligently
One should act very diligently, under the expert guidance of a devotee of Lord Krishna, or under the direct instructions of Lord Krishna Himself (under whom Arjuna had the opportunity to work). Nothing should be performed for sense gratification.
Aspiration of Devotees
A devotee should always aspire to engage in the service of advanced devotees.
Misfortune of A Living Entity
A living entity in the forest of the material world tries to give up the association of these so called yogis, svamis and incarnations and come to the association of real devotees, but due to misfortune he cannot follow the instructions of the spiritual master or advanced devotees. Therefore he gives up their company and again returns to the association of monkeys who are simply interested in sense gratification and women.
