“How pure is your aspiration?” Srila B. S. Goswami Maharaj. 4 May, 2016. Gupta Govardhan

Krishna Das, Radha Dasi—that's your eternal position.
Faith is the halo of Radharani. She's revealing Krishna.
Minimum requirement is shraddha, faith, that by doing this alone everything will be achieved. It's not about formal initiation. About self-giving.
At the time of initiation: atma-samarpan, you offer yourself. Even a slight attempt is better than not...
Self-sacrifice is a dynamic process.
Whatever praise might come our way, transfer it to the Guru.
Something is coming from Guru that's animating the servitor.
Vaishnavas are sparsha-mani: they can take base metal and turn it into gold.
Actual love that our heart is hard-wired to search is Krishna-prem.
