“My dear Sanätana, although you are the deliverer of the entire
universe and although even the demigods and great saints are purified
by touching you, it is the characteristic of a devotee to observe and
protect the Vaiñëava etiquette. Maintenance of the Vaiñëava etiquette
is the ornament of a devotee.
“If one transgresses the laws of etiquette, people make fun of him,
and thus he is vanquished in both this world and the next.
“By observing the etiquette, you have satisfied My mind. Who else but
you could show this example?”
Day 2
1. Preaching accompanied with Vaiñëava etiquette: We have
to push forward this movement, and we may get caught up in the
activities of pushing, and forget about Vaiñëava etiquette. However,
there is an exchange between Çréla Sanätana Goswami and Haridas
Thakura in which Çréla Sanätana Goswami praises Haridas: (Cc Antya
102-3)
"Some behave very well but do not preach the cult of Kåñëa
consciousness, whereas others preach but do not behave properly."
