Human life is very rare: durlabho mānuṣo deho dehināṁ kṣaṇa-bhaṅguraḥ (SB 11.2.29)

Vishrambhena guru-seva.

The meaning of diksha.

One needs good qualification (sat-guna) to serve God.

Sadhana-siddhi, bhava-siddhi, svarupa-siddhi and vastu-siddhi.

The gopis will give you training.

Hari-katha is the essence of human life.
