If a devotee follows the instructions of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he lives in the company of the Lord. Wherever he lives, he converts that place into Vrndavana and Navadvipa. This means that materialism cannot touch him. This is the secret of success for one advancing in Krsna consciousness.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 7.129, purport
Only an empowered personality can distribute the holy name of the Lord and enjoin all fallen souls to worship Krsna. By distributing the holy name of the Lord, he cleanses the hearts of the most fallen people; therefore he extinguishes the blazing fire of the material world. Not only that, he broadcasts the shining brightness of Krsna's effulgence throughout the world. Such an acarya, or spiritual master, should be considered nondifferent from Krsna that is, he should be considered the incarnation of Lord Krsna's potency.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura
Quoted in Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 25.9, purport
Essential truth spoken concisely is true eloquence.

After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
Lord Sri Krsna
