Vaiṣṇava  sannyāsīs  never think of themselves as being one with the Lord; they always consider themselves eternal servants of Kṛṣṇa, and they want to see everyone in the world become Kṛṣṇa conscious. For this reason, a Vaiṣṇava  sannyāsī  always offers his blessings to everyone, saying,  kṛṣṇe matir astu  (‘‘May you become Kṛṣṇa conscious’’).
