  13. Question: How could Vaishnavas come to a better understanding among each other? With our http://www.vina.cc website we try to promote this type of consciousness and for that we need the blessings of all the Acaryas. Answer by Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja: Vaishnavas are mutually always in the best relationship, otherwise they cannot be Vaishnavas. The only target of Vaishnavas is to satisfy Vishnu. By serving Vishnu, they give contentment to Vishnu and contentment to all. Prahlad Maharaj said to his father Hiranyakshipu, “My dear father! Please give up your demoniac mentality. Do not discriminate in your heart between enemies and friends; make your mind equipoised toward everyone. Except for the uncontrolled and misguided mind, there is no enemy within this world. When one sees everyone on the platform of equality, one then comes to the position of worshiping the Lord perfectly.” (Translation by Srimat Bhakti Vedanta Swami Maharaj) Last message of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur to all ascetic and household devotees was this: “All of you should remain in close co-operation with the objective to propitiate the Supreme Lord with wholehearted allegiance to the grace incarnate form, Gurudeva, who is the Absolute Counterpart of the Supreme Lord. All of you should somehow maintain your livelihood in this most perishable non-eternal world, with the only objective of satisfying Supreme Lord. Don't give up worship of God inspite of hundreds of troubles, hundreds of humiliations and hundreds of abuses. Don't be discouraged by seeing that most of the conditioned souls in this world are not accepting the service of Sri Krishna sincerely, without deceitfulness. Never give up your own worship, and never give up your only wealth, the 'be-all and end-all' of your life, which is the hearing and chanting of the glories of Sri Krishna. Always do Harikirtan with the qualities of being humbler than blade of grass and more forbearing than tree.” So the conclusion is that the root cause of all troubles and sufferings is aversion to Sri Krishna, and that the problems of this world cannot be removed by retaining the nescience. http://www.vina.cc/stories/PHILOSOPHICAL/2004/6/vaishnava.vision.html
