It is not that, "Here is an American Vaiṣṇava, here is an African Vaiṣṇava, an Indian Vaiṣṇava." Vaiṣṇava is Vaiṣṇava. Vaiṣṇava is transcendental. Although he may be appearing in different dress, but he is servant of Kṛṣṇa. This vision should be enlightened.

Never think of the arcā-mūrti as wood or stone—never think of the spiritual master as ordinary human being—never think of a Vaiṣṇava as belonging to a certain caste or nation. These are things . . .

So all the Vaiṣṇavas here, it is not that, "Here is an American Vaiṣṇava, here is an African Vaiṣṇava, an Indian Vaiṣṇava." Vaiṣṇava is Vaiṣṇava. Vaiṣṇava is transcendental. Although he may be appearing in different dress, but he is servant of Kṛṣṇa. This vision should be enlightened. Then he will remain fixed up in devotional service, and certainly he shall remain successful of life in this very life. That should be our aim, that in this very life we shall make our devotional service so perfect, and we shall try to know Kṛṣṇa as far as possible, so that Kṛṣṇa says:

After giving up this body, such devotee do not accept . . . such devotee does not accept any more material body. He comes back in a spiritual body, back to home, back to Godhead.
