Remaining in ISKCON
ISKCON is the factory of the pure devotees. All you have to do is to stay on. Our only concern is to remain in ISKCON and to associate with devotees.
Effects of Association With The Great
In the sun there is great heat and light, and by reflecting the greatness of the sun’s light, the moon in night also appears great. Actually the moon is by nature dark ans cold, but in association with sun it has become accepted as great. Hence by association of the Great, one appears great.
Happiness of The Spirit Soul
The spirit soul can be happy only in the association of the supreme living being, the Personality of Godhead, and nowhere else.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.2.11,
Srila Prabhupada.
Associating Directly With God
To chant God’s holy name means to associate directly with Him.
Result of Association with Devotees
One should learn how to associate with the devotees of the Lord by gathering with them to chant the glories of the Lord. This process is most purifying. As devotees thus develop their loving friendship, they feel mutual happiness and satisfaction and by thus encouraging one another they are able to give up material sense grantification, which is the cause of all suffering. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 11.03.30.
Following The Instructions of The Pure Devotees
Pure devotees of Lord are associates of Lord. To associate means to surrender unto them and surrender means to follow their instructions.
