"You have to make distinction that you specifically like Kṛṣṇa and His devotees in Vraja better than anything else. They are people, you want to be with them, it got to be that you want to be with them, not because… They are not going to let you into Vraja because you don’t like it here in the material world. It is not a shelter for homeless souls, it is not a welfare organization. That is called the Brahman, that will give shelter to all kinds of homeless souls, because it is the reflection of qualities."
