As long as we depend on our own strength, pride, and experience, we cannot surrender at the Supreme Lord´s lotus feet.

Until we develop the mentality of surrender, we will continue to glorify the empirical path. When we finally understand the insignificance of our borrowed strength, pride, and the uselessness of our own endeavour, then we will learn to surrender to Krishna and accept the knowledge coming through disciplic succession. When our hearts are filled with the glories of surrender to the Lord, our hearts will rush towards the Vaisnavas who are glorifying Him. We should hear about Vaikuntha from such persons while remaining in our present situation. Everthing else will be maintained and we can simply repose our faith in the Supreme Lord.
