What perfection do you want to achieve? Without sadhana and bhajana the goal cannot be reached.
The process is bhakti yoga, that is, mood of service, as the manjaris serve Srimati Radhika.
In raghanuga-bhakti, the most important thing is utkanta/greed and avesa/absorption.
Vritrasura Prayers: …ahaṁ hare tava pādaika-mūla… (SB 6.11.24); na nāka-pṛṣṭhaṁ na ca pārameṣṭhyaṁ… (SB 6.11.25); mamottamaśloka-janeṣu sakhyaṁ… (SB 6.11.27). If there is attachment to material life, there will be imprisonment.
Serve Krsna under the guidance of Srimati Radhika, as She knows His heart. It is not possible to serve Krsna directly.
To serve under the guidance of Srimati Radhika one must be Her servant, Radha-dasyam.
Spiritual knowledge is not like material logic, it is transcendental, it depends on how much you listen and absorb it.
The mantra is very powerful, to be able to see you have to close your eyes, then the third eye manifests itself.
The six ways to reach Krsna: kāmād dveṣād bhayāt snehād… (SB 7.1.30).
By absorbing oneself in Krsna, spiritual desires will come, and material desires will go away.
The gopis, especially Srimati Radhika, reached Krsna with their divine and transcendental love, we take shelter at their lotus feet.
