You are to take advantage of sadhu sanga as much as practically possible. Also, you are not to blame others for your own circumstances. As per the fruits of our own previous karma we have got such circumstances, but you are not to stop devotion to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. You are to continually engage your energy to worship Sri Krishna and not for your relatives. As and when you get an opportunity for sadhu sanga, you should take advantage of it. Just as when we go to a doctor and get injected, the effect of the injection remains for a long period, similarly when we take the injection of sadhu sanga, the effect remains for some time. Many householder devotees, who are not able to get much sadhu sanga, come for Navadwip Dham Parikrama and the effect of the injection remains for the rest of the year.

The company of bona fide devotees is necessary for devotional progress. Actually we do not want the company of persons desirous of sensuous enjoyments or even the company of renouncers. We want the company of shuddha bhaktas. They may be in household life or in ascetic life. "bhaktistu bhagavad bhakta sangena parijayate" - bhakti can be attained only through the association of bona fide devotees. If the Supreme Lord desires, we can have the opportunity to get the company of the devotees. When we are eligible to get the company of pure devotees, it is certain that the Supreme Lord will appear as devotees before us or we will be brought to the company of devotees. As the sun is non-different from the rays of the sun, the Supreme Lord is also non-different from His Grace-incarnate Form shuddha bhakta. It is my submission to you, the devotees should get together at any place at least once a week for hari-katha. Our Most Revered Gurumaharaj used to advise us, when there is lack of devotees, you should go through authentic scriptures or authentic writings of personal associates of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur or Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur.
