Nectar of Devotion

If one sticks to devotional service and is conducted by regulative principles given by the authorities and ācāryas, that is the best qualification
Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 5: In this connection Srila Rupa Gosvami gives evidence from Srimad-Bhagavatam, Eleventh Canto, Twenty-first Chapter, verse 2, in which Lord Krsna says to Uddhava, "The distinction between qualification and disqualification may be made in this way: persons who are already elevated in discharging devotional service will never again take shelter of the processes of fruitive activity or philosophical speculation. If one sticks to devotional service and is conducted by regulative principles given by the authorities and acaryas, that is the best qualification."

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

But if you are searching after that one, here is the one. That is accepted by the all authorities and ācāryas. And He showed His viśva-rūpa, virāḍ-rūpa, that everything is there
Evening Darsana -- May 11, 1977, Hrishikesh: Prabhupada: No, you feel. That is another thing. You can feel so many things. That is not authorized. But if you are searching after that one, here is the one. That is accepted by the all authorities and acaryas. And He showed His visva-rupa, virad-rupa, that everything is there. Practically Arjuna was shown the virad-rupa. So why don't you accept Him? What is your objection?
