+ Gaudiya Gosthi Pati Sri Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Gosvami Prabhupada said, “I was bound to speak heavily to engage you all in actual Hari Bhajan without anyabilasa. But most people misunderstood me. Maybe someday if their luck is good enough then they will understand me,
my heart, and why I was bound to speak that way. Until then, maybe they will think of me as their enemy.”

+ “God helps those who help themselves”. Those bonded jivas always have their free will, so it is of utmost importance that Sri Guru-Vaishnava must be a firing example, so that they became attracted. If Guru-Vaishnavas are themselves cheaters and imposters than what inspiration bonded jivas can get.  

+ Realisations of shastra depend on Guru Kripa. How much we read, how much we study is not the yardstick.  Nayam atma pravacanena labhyo na medhaya na bahuna srutena…..
"The Lord cannot be known by copious logic, intelligence, or deep study of the scriptures. But He reveals Himself personally to the soul who, having become eager to engage in His devotional service, prays to Him for His mercy." (Kathopanisad 1.2.23) 

+ Who is Vaishnava and who is not Vaishnava, that judgment should not be given to material foolish people. Only and only a Vaishnava can recognize another Vaishnava.

+ Transcendental knowledge (divya jnana) is not accessible to all, only those who have tremendous love for Sri Guru-Vaishnava. Srila Srinivas Acharya is saying—“balavan adara yasyo na syat Guru padamboje srutair api sat sastroyh krsne bhaktir na jayate” So long as the disciple has no strong affinity & love unto the Lotus Feet of Sat-Guru, till then only shastra gyan (scriptural knowledge) cannot give him Krsna bhakti at all.

+ In Gaudiya Math there are innumerous precious jewels, not available anywhere else, but who will come and collect it. Even famous Universities in Banaras founded by Sri Madana-mohana Malaviya and other important Universities must pay salute to the Gaudiya Siddhanta vichar. 

+ We cannot realize the point of what Gaudiya Math really is. Foolish people are saying that in Gaudiya Math there are so many problems. But “No”. Where do you find the problem? There are no problems in Gaudiya Math, because Gaudiya Math means were Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur stays where Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada, Srila Kesava Gosvami Maharaj , Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Maharaj Srila, Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Maharaj and so on are staying, this is actually Gaudiya Math. Gaudiya Math is not a construction of one big building. People cannot understand it. What do you mean by Gaudiya Math? You may have a lot of money, you can make a big temple but this is not Gaudiya Math. It is a transcendental place by which the mercy of Guru and Vaishnava, Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur, Nityananda Prabhu and Gauranga Mahaprabhu can come down to help us .
