We are all eternal spiritual beings and have loved Krsna before long ago / but because of maya (illusion) you have forgotten that you once loved Krsna and you are struggling and suffering in this temporary material world.
True spirituality will awaken this forgotten love you once had.
Firstly you must seek to embrace the higher knowledge of the Vedas and this shall raise your consciousness and remove ignorance.
And there are many other things you must do to reach the goal of self realization which shall enable you to remember and then rekindle your lost love for Krsna.
Persons who are sincere about Krsna Consciousness will devote their entire life to engaging in spirituality / and this can be done by becoming a member of the Krsna community.( as I have done)

Be careful that one man or a group of men do not gain the power to rule over the community unchallenged. Good luck.
False teachers encourage their followers to attempt to build equity with God with their own self righteousness words and deeds. Sadly, they hate Grace and pursue an empty manner of life, preferring separation from God in time and in Eternity. Distractions and denial are their forte.
And you got all that from this ?
For I say ...[text shortened]... you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:20 NKJV)
Got anything else?
Calling GB .. is this the best you can do?

You shall not attract the Grace if you do not abide by the highest of spiritual conduct.
You must become as pure as earthly possible and give up all material attraction to the things of the senses and you must become MASTER of the senses.
Why must you do this?
Because the sense are the chains that shall shackle you to this temporary world of death and keep you taking birth over and over and over again.

Righteousness is rectitude, or morally correct behavior or thinking. It is not true that only God-believers can have morally correct behavior. It is not necessary to believe in gods in order to live a moral life.

Who is going to determine what is moral? Don't we have that problem today because, people want to determine what is moral in their own eyes?
People must have a moral authority.

The Instructor
You raise a good question. (seriously)
We become indoctrinated into whatever bs our parents or guardians make us submit to. I believe it is possible to find good and right no what life has dealt you. Pretty sure that is called growing up.
I dare you to take these questions with seriousness. How would you survive a rotten father? How would you find a way to recognize an evil god? How may you come to make up your own mind by using logic and reason?
btw, a lot of the bs our parents or guardians make us submit to, is mostly righteous. I didn't mean to poisen the well. bs just means stuff, some of which is everything bad you can possibly imagine.
