WORDS TO LIVE BY:

"East or West, South or North, everywhere it is necessary to follow Gurudev as perfectly as possible. 'Follow' means that his order is sufficient for me: 'Do this, and you'll be satisfied.' But strong faith is necessary there, otherwise it will not be possible to follow in a perfect way."

- Srila Govinda Maharaj
