The various Vaisnava practices are more than signposts on the way. They provide us with a way of elevating our consciousness to the mode of goodness and transforming our hearts. They are like a portal through which one can enter a different realm of reality. We can only transcend from the mode of goodness; we cannot jump into spiritual reality from the modes of ignorance and passion. Sadacar helps us to elevate our consciousness to the mode of goodness.
