    I pay my heartfelt respects to Jiva Gosvami on this day. He has given us something special that will make you happy under all circumstances. If you read what Jiva Gosvami says, and you really understand it, then it is impossible that you will not change… If you want to perform an action then it depends on your thought. If your understanding is very clear, then your action will get the desired result. But if your understanding is hazy, then you will not get the desired result.

    — Babaji Satyanarayana Dasa
