Applying Srila Prabhupada's teaching to our life

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna Himself in the role of a devotee to teach us how to be devoted. The basic principle of Lord Caitanya's life and teachings is service to vaisnavas in loving relationships amongst vaisnavas.

So this must be very carefully and systematically established in our minds. Devotees need to be protected. Devotees need to be cared for. Devotees need to be loved. And devotees need to be taught how to show love. This is what Srila Prabhupada has given us in his books. Actually, everything is in Srila Prabhupada's books. There is no higher philosophy. There is nothing absent that we require in our life that's not there. But if we are not applying his teaching to our life, then there is dissatisfaction.
