The first thing is enthusiasm, that "I must see Kṛṣṇa." You are seeing Kṛṣṇa. The Deity of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa is not different. But even personally you can see. Simply we have to continue the enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means to take things very seriously, utsāhād dhairyāt, and patiently. Although we are determined to go back to home, back to Godhead, so we should patiently follow the rules and regulations.

So I thank you very much for your kindly receiving me in this temple, and I was very happy. So my request is that you continue your devotional service very faithfully and rigidly, then in this life you will be able to see Kṛṣṇa face to face. That is a fact. 

So you follow the advice, as given by Rūpa Gosvāmī, ''utsāhāt''. The first thing is enthusiasm, that "I must see Kṛṣṇa." You are seeing Kṛṣṇa. The Deity of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa is not different. But even personally you can see. Simply we have to continue the enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means to take things very seriously, ''utsāhād dhairyāt'', and patiently. Although we are determined to go back to home, back to Godhead, so we should patiently follow the rules and regulations. So these are the six principles: endeavor,  mean, enthusiasm, and firm determination, and patience, and executing the regulative principles, ''tat-tat-karma-pravartanāt'', and ''sato vṛtteḥ'', means behavior must be very honest, no duplicity, and. . . ''Utsāhād dhairyāt niścayāt tat-tat-karma-pravartanāt'' ([[vanisource:NOI 3|NOI 3]]), and ''sato vṛtteḥ'', dealing must be very honestly, no hypocrisy, ''tat-tat-karma-pravartanāt'', ''sādhu-saṅga'', and in the association of devotees. If you follow these six principles, namely enthusiasm, determination, patience, and executing the regulative principle and keep yourself honest and in the association of devotee, if you follow these six principle, then your success is sure.
