Try to follow the path chalked out by Prahlāda Mahārāja. He is one of the mahājanas. Out of the twelve mahājanas, he is also one of them. He is our guru. So try to follow Prahlāda Mahārāja's instruction and behavior also. Just see his behavior, how he attained the stage of prema gradually. So you should be ambitious. Our goal of life, that is the Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission, prema pum-artho mahān (Caitanya-mañjuṣā). He doesn't say, dharmārtha-kāma-mokṣa (SB 4.8.41). He never says.

Kṛṣṇa does not expose Himself to the nondevotees. He does not. Nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yoga-māyā-samāvṛtaḥ (BG 7.25). He'll not expose Himself. But if you attain the stage of prema, as Prahlāda Mahārāja attained, then you will see Him. How you will see? Sadaiva: always. Not that for two minutes I see and Kṛṣṇa is no more there. No, not like that. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva (BS 5.38). Sadaiva means constant, incessantly. You can see.
