1. Prabhupad said, “Don’t stay kanishtha-adhikari. At least become a madhyama-adhikari”.
2. We should ask ourselves, am I enjoying devotional service? Just putting tilaka-mala is external. Is anything changed inside? Otherwise.. ‘griham-andha-kupam’. Dress may de there but inside.. I and mine. One who is more advanced, the more humble he becomes.

In the beginning of the movement Prabhupada used to say, “This movement is for intelligent persons. Many may come but only the intelligent will survive”.

According to scriptures, one aspect of Giriraj is that he is non-different from Krishna. But another aspect is that He is the greatest devotee of Krishna. This way you can see it inconceivably that devotee and Krishna are same but at the same time different. So it is very subtle. I won’t go into details. Every one won’t understand. You have to chant Hare Krishna, render devotional service, read scriptures, then you will understand.

Brahmachari – He is doing so much austerity of getting up for mangal arati, cooking for the Guru, thinking that everything he possesses actually belongs to his Guru. Dedicating his life in the service of Guru. So God is watching that this man is doing so much austerity for his Guru. Prabhupada says “If somebody can remain a brahmachari, 75% of his chances are there of going back to Godhead, if he strictly follows his Guru’s instruction.
