The ācāryas are our example.

Our lives should be completely in allegiance to them. It is the nature of greed that it will not let a person in peace until he has gotten the object of his desire. This means that when we think of something for a moment and the mind is drawn to something else the next moment we cannot really speak of genuine greed.

When the practising devotee performs bhajan in allegiance to the ācāryas a tiny drop of their vast devotional greed may become infused in his heart.

How sweet are the activities of Śrīman Mahāprabhu’s associates! Whether they were householders or renunciants, they were all free from attachment to sense-gratification. Their auspicious descension into the material world was meant for distributing tangible devotional experiences and detachment from sense-gratification.

Every mouthful of food causes nourishment, satisfaction and cessation of hunger.
