Excerpt from "Sermons of the Guardian of Devotion, Volume I" by Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj:

If we increase the quality of our negativity, or the feeling that we are so mean, the positive will be automatically attracted. Try to increase the power of your position as a negative unit. Trnad api sunichena (by feeling oneself lower than the grass), dainyam (humility), atmanivedana (surrender).
Hankering in surrender is our wealth. We are the sakti, the potency, and potency refers to the negative unit of the positive, the Potent. Increase your negative side, your hankering. The positive will be automatically attracted to you.

Excerpt from "Divine Guidance" by Srila B.S. Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj:

Each of the nine islands of Nabadwip give some special facility for our practising life. This place, Koladwip, is called pada-sevana ksetra, the place where we can gain direct connection with Krishna through the worship of His lotus feet. But if we really want that then we should sincerely try to get it through the expert—then easily we can have His connection.
