After hearing their acarya speaking on that way, naturally the followers will dive into some gopibhava or nitya-svarupa mood by any mean, rather than let themselves be exposed as unqualified. HH Narayana Maharaja: << What is the object of our devotion? Not only to perform primary functions like distributing books, establishing temples and 1,000 acre farms. So many cows, so many schools, but where are they now? So we should learn what is our life's mission, our goal. For what purpose did Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja come? Not to give these things. FOR UNQUALIFIED PERSONS HE STARED THESE PROJECTS TO ENGAGE THEIR ENERGIES AND POWERS BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE ANYTHING HIGHER...>> (from the lecture in Melburne) > Is my perception correct?
