Sadhu-sanga happens when sukrti becomes mature and accumulated.
Proper renunciation (yukta-vairagya) and false renunciation, like a monkey (markata-vairagya, renunciation without self-realisation).
Renunciation only happens when the desire for sense gratification ends.
It is a great offence (aparadha) to receive money in the name of Krsna, or the Temple, and use it to maintain the enjoyment of your family. There is a specific type of hell only for those who practise these activities.
There is no point in having a trustworthy Guru and not following his instructions.
Guru-seva and bhajana without duplicity and hypocrisy are the only activities that can take us out of the material cycle of repeated births and deaths.
Grhastas have no right to collect donations for themselves. Those who can collect donations are the renounced, those who revert everything to the Temple, Guru and Krsna.
