Hear it again..again...again by H.H.Radhanath Swami

Rupa Goswami said just as a man is eager to meet a young girl or a young girl is eager to meet a young man; just be eager to meet Krsna, just be eager to serve Krsna, to know Krsna, to love Krsna, (and) Krsna will reveal Himself. So it is very important, Prabhupada is explaining in this purport that we must approach a spiritual master in a disciplic succession, but we must approach in the mood in which Brahma approached Krsna, not just as a fashion, not just as some time of social etiquette; (but) with desperation, with urgency that this is the prime and ultimate need of life to inquire.

After Sanatana Goswami asked these questions, he presented himself as the most fallen soul, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu said something very instructive; he said actually Sanatana Goswami you know everything, there is nothing for Me to teach you, however it is a nature of a great saintly person to inquire in this way, out of strictness, out of etiquette, it is natural, a great soul is humble.

As we become more advance in Krsna consciousness, it is not that we know everything and we just speak and we don’t want to hear from anyone else; it is the opposite. If we are actually making advancement, we are getting the taste in hearing about Krsna, we want to hear it again and again and again, we are eager to learn, we are eager to inquire so that message would be broadcasted again and again.
