Dharmadhyaksa, June 23, 1975, Los Angeles: […] The maidservant was engaged in the menial service of the sages, and thus Narada Muni also came into contact with them.
And simply by associating with them and accepting the remnants of foodstuff left by the sages, the son of the maidservant got the chance to become the great devotee and personality Srila Naradadeva.
These are the miraculous effects of the association of Bhagavatas. And to understand these effects practically, it should be noted that by such sincere association of the Bhagavatas one is sure to receive transcendental knowledge very easily, with the result that he becomes fixed in the devotional service of the Lord.
The more progress is made in devotional service under the guidance of the Bhagavatas, the more one becomes fixed in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.
The messages of the book Bhagavata, therefore, have to be received from the devotee Bhagavata, and the combination of these two Bhagavatas will help the neophyte devotee to make progress on and on.
Prabhupada: So we are giving this chance to everyone, devotee Bhagavata and grantha-Bhagavata, to get them raised from the lower condition of life. Kama-lobha, lusty desires or greediness. This is the process. And practically you can see all these young men. They have no more lusty desires or greediness.
