These books are like places of pilgrimage for swans. They are only for persons who have some attraction for the spiritual realm. But the most wonderful thing about these books is that even if somebody doesn’t have any attraction, if they get one eleventh of the moment of association with Srila Prabhupada, that attraction can be awakened. That is the great beauty of these books. Although they are made for swan-like persons, by associating with these books even the ugliest crows can become swans.

So the more we know about Krsna, the more we want to serve Him and therefore we can simply expect that by continuously serving the Lord we may be able to obtain a drop of mercy of His lotus feet. A devotee prays simply for that drop so that he can understand Krsna and increase his love and affection for the Lord.

And even there may appear to be some fault, even there may appear to be some conflict, if everyone is trying to please Krsna, then that is the platform of harmony.

Why do we become attracted to associate with devotees? Because they are supposed to help us remember the Lord.

The only problem is that we have forgotten Krsna. That is the problem. And as long as we continue to forget Krsna, in all our endeavors there will always be problems.
