Our own endeavours can only take us to a certain level but ultimate goal will be attained only by the mercy of Vaishnavas and mercy of Krishna.

A man bound by the hands and feet cannot free himself. He must be helped by a person who is unbound because the bound cannot help the bound, the rescuer must be liberated. Therefore, only Lord Krishna or His bona fide representative can release the conditioned soul.
If one practices eating prasada, even if there is some little sinful activity involved, one becomes free from the results of sinful acts.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.10.9,
Srila Prabhupada
All beautiful and great concepts are really great when there is a mood of unselfish compassion to serve without discrimination.
Always engage in devotional service with determination.
Perfection of human life is attained when one can understand that he is not the product of matter but is in fact spirit.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.20,
Srila Prabhupada
One who constantly remembers the glories of the Lord is surely elevated to the same abode where the Lord is situated.
So I am always emphasizing book distribution. It is the better kirtana. It is better than chanting. Of course chanting should not stop, but book distribution is the best kirtana.
[Letter to Srutadeva Dasa 24 Oct 1974]
We can get rid of the impurities of the heart by turning our consciousness towards Krishna. With mind we can think of Krishna and project our consciousness towards Him.
