Srila Param Gurudev’s Last Instructions
In the Gaudiya sampradaya, in the lineage of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in the religious tradition of devotion to Krishna, dedicated devotees worship Krishna exclusively. If you put other gods and goddesses on the same level as Krishna, you are making a mistake. Don’t forget this. Not all gods and goddesses are equal, nor all avataras of Viṣṇu.

श्रीमद्भगवदगीता [३.२७]
प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः ।
अहङ्कारविमूढात्मा कर्ताहमिति मन्यते ॥
3.27
guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ
ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā
kartāham iti manyate
The Lord said to Arjuna, ''Now hear Me and understand the difference between the wise and the unwise. Being enveloped by nescience, a conditioned soul wrongly thinks the actions done by the three guṇas—primal qualities of external potency—are actually done by him. He thinks that he is the doer. This indicates an unwise person.''

Financial Difficulty
We are to accept that which is congenial and give up that which is not congenial for worship of Krishna; we should have firm faith that He is the only sustainer and protector; we are to dedicate ourself totally to the Lotus Feet of Krishna; and be humble by giving up all false material egos.

Just by Remembering Him, One Becomes Free From Millions of Births
Mahārāja also explained that only when a pure devotee is giving prasādam, whether or not it was formally offered to Kṛṣṇa with mantras and everything. If you do that you offer the formal mantras and go near the altar and all that, you still don’t know if Kṛṣṇa has eaten it. But when a pure devotee hands prasādam, you know Kṛṣṇa has eaten it even if it wasn’t offered to him, it was just handed to the pure devotee.
