Advancement In devotion by following varnasrama

"A materialist must direct his life according to the directions of varnasrama-dharma. On the strength of worshipping Krsna in full surrender, one is gradually elevated through varnasrama- dharma to the platform of saintly conduct. But if one follows the varnasrama system without worshipping Lord Krsna, he is doomed. A householder must fulfil his varnasrama responsibilities. He should live with restraint and accept only what is essential for serving Lord Krsna. He should respect all formal rules and responsibilities as long as they are within the varnasrama system. One can easily accomplish all this as long as he is chanting the holy name and is engaged in devotional service. Moreover, one gains bhava or spiritual ecstasy by these same devotional practices. With the advent of bhava, one transcends the jurisdiction of rules and regulations.

"As long as one needs a regulated, formal social life, he must remain within the bounds of varnasrama. But after the first stirrings of spiritual love with the attainment of bhava, the jiva's beautiful nature becomes apparent.

Almost everyone who has researched clinical death agrees that a significant number of individuals (about 35 percent, according to the Gallup poll) have had experiences while their bodies were clinically dead. This not only means that these people continued to exist after their bodies were dead, but also that they were aware of their existence.

He'll then require no further inspiration from the dictates of varnasrama-dharma. The mood of bhava is incomprehensible to materialistic persons because it is dynamic, appearing in a person by its own volition. The Vaisnava householder must follow this path with singlemindedness to be unaffected by the contamination of mayavadi influences.

Lord Visnu's name is nondifferent from Him

"Lord Visnu's name, form, qualities etc. should never be viewed as being separate from Him. He is non-dual; as the complete whole, He is the Supreme Absolute. If, due to ignorance, someone is attached to the dualistic concept of God, then he can at best attain the namabhasa stage of chanting, but he'll never reach prema. Then again, if he receives the mercy of a bona fide spiritual master and can overcome his anarthas, he'll attain the pure name by the gradual clearing process.
