“In such a world which is full of duplicity only duplicitous persons are honoured. Genuine saints (sādhus), who don’t lead the masses along the wrong path, are not respected in this world. In modern times people are simply getting cheated by those who mislead the masses throughout a pretentious form of spiritual discourse has somehow emerged as the religion of the age (yuga-dharma). And because the true saints (sādhus) wish to expose wicked and unholy persons (asādhus) those same unholy cheaters bewilder the masses by condemning the true saints (sādhus) as unholy, duplicitous and thieves themselves in a plot to secure their escape. The illusory potency of the Lord, Māyā, never allows the jīvās to be sincere (niṣkapaṭa) and to that end she has been depriving the jīvās of the association of genuine saints (sādhus).”

Śrīla Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura has given us the most vital instruction by churning the vast ocean of Vedic scriptures. If we can have this kind of patience to be under the guidance of pure guru-Vaiṣṇavas to realize the inner meaning of those authentic śāstras, then we can also come to the same conclusion as shown by Śrīla Saccidananda Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura who wanted to show us this most vital point out of his causeless mercy, otherwise all our reading of śāstras will be only waste of time. So, in short as the conception of seed these two profound words of Śrīla Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura are the essence of our bhajana life.

Ācārya Kesari Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Pragyan Kesava Gosvāmī Maharaj the disciple of Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda Paramahaṁsa Jagadguru  said that—“With a strong hope to get pratiṣṭhā by exhibiting our personal talent, if we never hesitate to identify our most favourable benefactor (or true well-wisher) previous ācāryas as ignorant and foolish, then in that case our children (our next generations) they also can call us ignorant, foolish or uncivilized (or brute) etc. what strange or surprise can be there in it?”

Gauḍīya-goṣṭhī-patiḥ Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda Paramahaṁsa Jagad-guru said that— “Let me not desire anything but the highest good (paramaṅgala) for my worst enemies.” Actually a Vaiṣṇava never think anyone as his enemy, no smell of jealousy can be there inside the heart of Guru-Vaiṣṇava. This is a matter of great regret that still most of the people accept those pure Guru-Vaiṣṇavas as their enemy, because of their absolute representation of facts and figures. How much sacrifice and dedication they have—this is really beyond our imagination.
