The Gau??ya Vai??avas practise bhakti internally by remembering the transcendental pastimes of ?r? R?dh?-Krishna or ?r? Nit?i-Gauranga and externally by hearing and chanting about these pastimes. Thus, at the end of life, they may be able to enter into the Lord's eternal pastimes. This is the highest perfection of life. We all aspire to keep ?r? R?dh?-Krishna in our heart. We want the Divine Couple to be the jewels decorating our heart, not anything else. However, at our conditioned state our heart is impure and full of selfish material desires, of unwanted habits. Therefore it is not a suitable place for ?r?mat? R?dhik? and Her beloved K???a to reside. But by the process of bhakti we can purify our heart. By chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra in the association of saintly devotees, by harikath?, by devotional service, our hearts get gradually purified. But this must be under the guidance of a genuine Guru, a pure devotee. Without receiving proper initiation with d?k?a mantras from ?r? Guru, purification of the heart will never happen. It is our connection with him which gives us the connection and establishes our relationship with the Divine Couple. s?dhu-sa?ge k???a-n?ma ei m?tra c?i sa?s?ra jinite ?ra kauna vastu n?i �Besides s?dhu-sa?ga and k???a-n?ma � nothing else is essential in this world. My sole desire, therefore, is to chant ?r?-k???a-n?ma in the association of s?dhus (saintly Vaisnavas). There is no other auspicious practice whereby one can become free from the cycle of sa?s?ra, the repetition of birth and death.�
