Why don’t we get more and deeper realizations?

Why is the movement progressing so slowly?

Because Vaisnavas are fighting amongst each other. When they fight and do not cooperate, they lose the mercy of Lord Caitanya. Srila Prabhupada said that our movement could be stopped only by internal difficulties, not external. If Vaisnavas learn how to cooperate, our movement will expand very fast. This is the reason. As soon as the movement is not expanding, it is obvious that there is some fight amongst the Vaisnavas, or they are making offenses. People have to stop making offenses, stop fighting, and they have to start to cooperate. This movement is so beautiful, and if it is presented purely, everyone will be attracted.

If we commit offenses against Vaishnavas, our taste for hearing and chanting decreases. If we serve the Vaishnavas we a get great taste for hearing and chanting. This is the reason.

Sometimes people think that the movement is not expanding because of a difficult political situation in a country. But this is not the reason because no
politician, no policeman is able to stop the movement for Krishna consciousness. In the sameway, no one had the power to stop Prahlada Maharaja, not even his father, the most powerful person in the universe. Nobody can stop the devotees when they cooperate with each other.
