We will receive help from the revealed Scriptures, and from the many saints and agents who are also coming from that plane to bring us into harmony.
The religion of highest harmony has been given by Mahāprabhu Śrī Chaitanyadeva who explained devotion on the basis of Śrīmad Bhagavatam, the book which is understood to be the real conclusion of all the revealed scriptures.

In this way, He explained that energy or power is not the highest thing, but knowledge is above it. Knowledge can control power and give a beneficial result, but further, knowledge itself also holds a lower position: above it is love and affection, and that is the highest. Neither knowledge nor power, but only affection can give us fulfilment of life.

Mercy is higher than justice. Justice only exists where there is the necessity of laws, rules, etc., but in the realm of the Absolute Autocrat, who is the Absolute Good, there can be no question of any apprehension about Him. He is Absolute Good, an Absolute Good is an Absolute Love and Affection, and that is home!

Intense devotion delivers even persons of uncontrolled senses from worldly enjoyment –

“A person adopting the path of devotion may suffer the obstacle of his mind loitering somewhat in thoughts of mundanity, due to former habits of sensual dalliance. As he cultivates devotion, his service aptitude develops. And the more his boldness to serve increases, the more that materialistic devotee is gradually able to curb his attraction for the mundane. The only cause of failure for such aspirants is their lack of sincerity.”

Srila B.R Sridhar Dev Goswami Maharaj

“So the Lord’s search for His lost servants is a loving search; it is not ordinary but from the heart. And the Lord’s heart is not an ordinary heart. Who can estimate what type of search He is engaged in? Although He is full in all respects, still He feels pangs of separation for every one of us, however small we may be.

In spite of His supreme position, He has room for us in a corner of His loving heart. This is the nature of the infinite. Such an absolute autocrat, absolute good, is Krishna. An autocrat is not under the law. It is not that if Krishna gives Himself to one, another will be lacking. The infinite is not like that; rather there is an infinite supply at His command. So He is the Emporium of Rasa [akhila-rasamrta murtih].

And He is searching for His lost servants, to bring them home.”

Loving Search for the lost servant.

Divine Words of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev Goswami

The only medicine for lazy devotion is a good association – to associate with those for whom you have regard.

Pratistha, one’s love for the position is very difficult to give up.
It is easier to give up attraction for females or money, but hankering for one’s own position is most difficult.
Prestige for position is our innermost enemy.

So long as that remains we cannot offer ourselves in the service of a vaisnava.
