The mood of Guru-Vaiṣṇava is difficult to understand; everything they do is by the inspiration of Bhagavān. We are contaminated, so we must depend on those honeybees in order to taste any honey. Śrī Guru-kṛpā. Nityānanda-kṛpā. The extreme power of bhakti-śakti. Actual preaching + actual śiṣya. Ucchiṣṭa is the topmost medicine. 
------------------------------
ŚB 12.12.50 → 
tad eva ramyaṁ ruciraṁ navaṁ navaṁ
tad eva śaśvan manaso mahotsavam
tad eva śokārṇava-śoṣaṇaṁ nṛṇāṁ
yad uttamaḥśloka-yaśo ’nugīyate

[Those words describing the glories of the all-famous Personality of Godhead are attractive, relishable and ever fresh. Indeed, such words are a perpetual festival for the mind, and they dry up the ocean of misery.]
---------------------------------
Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura told: “I can come down to any level for the actual preaching of Gaura-vani.” Even learned persons are bound to misunderstand Vaisnavas, what to speak of common people: vaiṣṇavera kriyā-mudrā vijñe nā bujhāya - (Caitanya Bhagavat). 

Vrndavan das Thakura’s chastisement: Those who cannot accept glories of Nityananda… even his chastisement is a form of preaching | Even demigods want to take darshan of pure devotees in order to purify themselves: Srila Puri Maharaja example | extreme loveful seva = pure qualities | Vaisnava’s traveling is always with the purpose of distributing krpa, never fancifully. 

Sukadeva Gosvami = topmost paramahamsa | + Vamsi Das Babaji, Gaura Kisor das Babaji - their acarana itself is harikatha. (acarana is the best preaching). | We should not express any doubt about Guru-Vaisnava | The example of Srila Vamsi Das Babaji: even Annapurna needed to have his darsana; he is a topmost preacher by his acarana and exclusive love for Bhagavan. 

naiṣāṁ matis tāvad urukramāṅghriṁ
spṛśaty anarthāpagamo yad-arthaḥ
mahīyasāṁ pāda-rajo-’bhiṣekaṁ
niṣkiñcanānāṁ na vṛṇīta yāvat
(ŚB 7.5.32)

The dust particle from pure devotee is necessary to approach Bhagavan: Ucchista is the most powerful medicine. 

Real achievement is measured by the degree of consciousness one has developed - how much love? | Sukadeva Gosvami | 

All that Vaisnavas say is for our benefit - we should not confuse their exposing siddhanta-virodh in the society as criticism! 

Even the extreme level of humility of Vaisnavas can elude our understanding: like Krsna das Kaviraja Gosvami - mora nāma śune yei tāra puṇya kṣaya, mora nāma laya yei tāra pāpa haya - why we cannot develop divya-jnana - no stability of knowledge because no stability of acarana | With kama we cannot get knowledge, with kama we cannot get prema | speaking stories and passing lectures vs one-pointed dedication of sadhu. 

We depend on the support of Nityananda/Guru:

yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo
yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi
dhyāyan stuvaḿs tasya yaśas tri-sandhyaḿ
vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam

If Gurudeva is not satisfied, we are burning in the fire: kāmanā vāsanā; that is why we are restless. Bhagavad-gita: the tragic result of material love. The Magic Spell of Maya-devi: “Maya can compell you to commit suicide” literally & figuratively. | Mercy of Gurudeva = mercy of Bhagavan. (example of Duryodhana)

The extreme mercy of Nityananda Prabhu and the most vital position of Guru; Jagai-Madai; His “topmost idealism of krpa for the preaching of Caitanya-vani”

Arjuna shows the ideal mood of an actual sisya: kariṣye vacanaṁ tava. | The propagation of Bhagavata-dharma via Krsna’s representatives. | idaṁ bhāgavataṁ nāma | so ’haṁ mamāham iti mūḍha-matir vigāḍhas | yathā harau bhagavati | To misguide yourself is one thing, but to misguide masses of people due to mis-preaching will require heavy punishment.

Paramahamsa honeybees can learn from everything in material world. We must depend on Guru-Vaisnava to get honey, as we have no ability to collect ourselves. | Yadu Maharaja showing the example of perfect dedication to Bhagavan; atrāpy udāharantīmam
itihāsaṁ purātanam. | Varnasram dharma and contamination. According to your own samskaras you will have to go forward in any situation: don’t jump; Dronacarya and Eklavya | The power of mental concentration. | How was it possible for Ambarisa Maharaja, Prthu Maharaja, Pariksit Maharaja to control the whole world? Bhakti-sakti and its immeasurable potency: 

yatra yena yato yasya
yasmai yad yad yathā yadā
syād idaṁ bhagavān sākṣāt
pradhāna-puruṣeśvaraḥ

[You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who manifest as the Lord of both nature and the creator of nature [Mahā-Viṣṇu]. Everything that comes into existence, however and whenever it does so, is created within You, by You, from You, for You and in relation to You.]
