Sloka: tṛṇād api sunīcena taror iva sahiṣṇunā (Siksastaka 3).
Becoming a Vaisnava is very difficult because the humility of Vaisnavas is incomparable.
Srila Vamana Maharaja was the embodiment of humility, he received diksa from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada.
When Srila Narayana Maharaja joined the Vedanta Samiti, he received diksa from Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, but Vamana Maharaja glorified him.
True Vaisnavas glorify others without interest.
Srila Narayana Maharaja said that he might not attain bhava, but that Vamana Maharaja lived in bhava.
Narayana Maharaja gave diksa in regions that Vamana Maharaja could not travel to. He also authorised by letter that Narayana Maharaja gave initiation to Westerners.
Vamana Maharaja was the Acarya President of the Vedanta Samiti, but he always told Narayana Maharaja to start the lectures.
About Tunga Vidya, the manjaris and repentant Krsna.
The verse from Gita Govinda that Vamana Maharaja used to repeat: yadi hari smarane sarasam mano.
The harikatha of Gita Govinda is very high, one must read this grantha with the senses controlled.
Have firm faith in the Guru and harikatha, as well as Haridasa Thakura, atyantiki-sraddha.
Dasa means service, but it is the mood that establishes the type of service.
About how Narayana Maharaja gave harikatha after heart surgery.
About Trivikrama Maharaja and his funny harikatha that always contemplated the same instructions.
Conditioned souls have many anarthas (unwanted impressions) and papas (sins) accumulated from many, many lives.
It is very difficult to understand the activities of a Vaisnava.
The strong and funny lilas of Trivikrama Maharaja angry with those who tried to serve him. If the Guru punishes, that is his mercy.
About tolerance and financial difficulties in maintaining the Temple, and the conclusion: “It will take many lives for you to tolerate these limitations, chant the holy names”.
