Guru - Disciple Qualification and examination

"Therefore it is said in the Hari-bhakti-vilasa that one year should be taken to study one another, the guru and the disciple. The guru also will see whether the person is fit to become a disciple, and the disciple also will see "Whether this gentleman can become my guru." (Lecture: August 10, 1974)

"Before accepting somebody as spiritual master you must know about his bona fides. That time is allowed. It is said in the sastra that if you like to accept somebody as spiritual master, you should associate with him at least for one year, see how things are going. If you follow of course others, that is also good. But personally, it is advised that you just remain with the proposed spiritual master for at least one year, so that the spiritual master is also given chance to study you, whether you are acceptable. This is the process." (Lecture: January 30, 1974)

Senses to make sense

By forcefully restraining the senses from the sense objects it is not possible to control the senses. For if it ever gets a chance to stray it will pull the mind of a man even of intelligence. Only by engaging the senses in devotional service can one actually control the senses. In other words to give a better engagement for the senses is the best way to control them. Without being fully Krishna conscious no one can control the senses rather fail in their every attempts doing so.

Criticism is an Infection

When we have to remove the sh*t from a place, we have to handle that personally and by doing so we get contaminated as well. So we 

have to do necessary sanitary precautions while handling them, otherwise we may get infected badly. When criticizing others or talking ill
of others it's the same thing. Preachers do it for the good of the conditioned souls in appropriate manner and inspire by their own personal example.
Others who do it for entertainment get contaminated, lost and eventually fall down. We see the world as a reflection of our own mind.
