THE SCIENCE OF SELF-REALIZATION
This is a simple method. All you have to do is bow down before Kṛṣṇa with faith and say, “My Lord Kṛṣṇa, I was forgetful of You for so long, for so many lives. Now I have come to consciousness; please accept me.” That’s all. If one simply learns this technique and sincerely surrenders himself to the Lord, his path is immediately open. These are the philosophical thoughts of a Vaiṣṇava. A Vaiṣṇava is always thinking about how the fallen conditioned souls can be delivered. He is always involved in making plans in that way, just like the Goswamis. What was the business of the six Goswamis of Vṛndāvana, Lord Caitanya’s direct disciples? That is stated by Śrīnivāsa Ācārya:
nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau 
  lokānāṁ hita-kārinau tribhuvane mānyau śaraṇyākarau 
  rādhā-kṛṣṇa-padāravinda-bhajanānandena mattālikau 
  vande rūpa-sanātanau raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau
“The six Goswamis, namely, Śrī Sanātana Goswami, Śrī Rūpa Goswami, Śrī Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Goswami, Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Goswami, Śrī Jīva Goswami, and Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Goswami, are very expert in scrutinizingly studying the revealed scriptures with the aim of establishing eternal religious principles for the benefit of all human beings. They are always absorbed in the mood of the  gopīs  and are engaged in the transcendental loving service of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.” [ Śaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka 2 ]
With similar Vaiṣṇava compassion, Parīkṣit Mahārāja says to Śukadeva Goswami: “You have described the different types of hellish conditions of life. Now, tell me how those who are suffering can be delivered. Kindly explain this to me.”
adhuneha mahā-bhāga 
  yathaiva narakān naraḥ 
  nānogra-yātanān neyāt 
  tan me vyākhyātum arhasi
Nara  means human beings, those who are fallen.  Narakān naraḥ/nānogra-yātanān neyāt tan me:  “How can they be delivered from their fierce miseries and horrible pains?” That is a Vaiṣṇava heart. Mahārāja Parīkṣit says, “Somehow or other they have fallen down to this hellish life. But that does not mean that they should remain in that condition. There must be some means by which they can be delivered, so kindly explain that.”
Śukadeva Goswami replied:
