..The word `amani ' indicates the third symptom of the sadhaka engaged in the performance of kirtana; namely, that he is freed from false ego. All egotism arising from yogic powers, material opulence, wealth, beauty, high birth, social status, strength, prestige, and high position associated with the gross and subtle body of the living entity who is bound by the illusory energy, is false and opposed to one's real identity. To be freed from such false designations is to be devoid of false ego (mithya abhimana shunyata).
One who, inspite of possessing all these qualifications, is further ornamented with the qualities of tolerance and freedom from false ego is most competent to chant the holy name. Such a pure sadhaka, completely renouncing the pride of being a brahmana householder, or the egotism of being a sannyasi or ascetic in the renounced order of life, fixes his mind exclusively on the lotus feet of Shri Krishna and engages constantly in chanting the holy name of the Lord.
(offering all respect to others)
..Lastly, the word `manada' indicates the fourth symptom of a sadhaka engaged in the chanting of the holy name; namely, that he offers respect to everyone as is befitting their respective position. Understanding all living entities to be servants of Krishna, they bear no attitude of malice or vengeance toward anyone. They please everyone with their sweet words and auspicious behaviour which are intended for the good of the entire world. They humbly offer respect as befits any individual's position, whether he be a qualified brahmana or other dignified person of this world, or whether he be an exalted demigod such as Brahma, Rudra, etc. They pray to them for the awakening of devotional service to the Supreme Lord. In particular, they thoroughly and lovingly engage themselves in the service of the pure devotees of the Lord.
dui-prakare sahishnuta kare vriksha-sama
vriksha yena katileha kichu na bolaya
shukana maileha kare pani na magaya
yei ye magaye, tare deya apana-dhana
gharma-vrishti sahe, anera karaye rakshana
uttana hana vaishnava habe nirabhimana
jive sammana dibe jani' 'krishna'-adhishthana
ei-mata hana yei krishna-nama laya
shri-krishna-carane tanra upajaya
.....Inspite of being very exalted, a chanter of the holy name considers himself to be even more worthless and comtemptible than insignificant grass. He is as tolerant as a tree in two ways. Even at the time of being cut, a tree raises no protest. Although being dried up and on the verge of death, it will ask water from no one. Yet to anyone who requests something from it, the tree will offer its fruit, flowers, wood, bark, and sap-everything that it has. The tree, while personally tolerating all kinds of heat and rain, offers protection to others from the same hardships."
"Similarly, a Vaishnava desires nothing for himself, but gives everything to others and offers them protection to the extent of giving them their constitutional occupation (svarupagata dharma) of love of Krishna. Inspite of being the most elevated person, he is devoid of false ego. He offers respect to everyone as befits their position, knowing everyone to be the residence of Shri Krishna. Such a person is genuinely fit to chant the holy name of Shri Krishna. One who chants the holy name of the Lord, endowed with all such qualifications, is sure to obtain love of Krishna."
.....Chaitanya-Caritamrita (Antya-lila, Ch.20.22-26):
parama jatane tanhi labha adhikara
trinadhika hina, dina, akincana chara
apane manabi sada charii ahankara
vriksha- sama kshama-guna karabi sadhana
pratihimsa tyaji anye karabi palana
jivana-nirvahe ane udvega na dibe
para-upakare nija-sukha pasaribe
haile-o sarva-gune guni mahashaya
pratishthasha charii kara amani hridaya
krishna-adhishthana sarva-jibe jani' sada
karabi sammana sabe adare sarvada
dainya, daya, anye mana, pratishtha-varjana
cari gune guni hai', karai kirtana
bhakativinoda kandi', bale prabhu-paya
hena adhikara kabe dibe he amaya
..
If you desire to chant the holy name of Shri Krishna, then you must, with great endeavour, acquire proper qualification. Give up your false material ego and consider yourself to be more fallen and worthless than insignificant grass. Become as tolerant and forgiving as a tree. Abandon violence and the spirit of vengeance, and give protection and maintenance to all. For the maintenance of your own existence, do not create anxiety for anyone. Renounce your own happiness and work for the welfare of all others. Although you may be a repository of all good qualities, shun the aspiration to acquire reputation and prestige. Know all living entities to be the residence of Shri Krishna and humbly offer respect to everyone as befits their position."
"Being thus possessed of four qualities-humility, compassion, respect for others and renunciation of the desire for personal prestige, chant the holy name of Shri Krishna. Crying again and again, Shri Bhaktivinoda Thakura offers the following prayer at the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord: `O my Lord! When will You bestow such qualification upon me to chant the holy name?

I'm glad to hear that you're moving to Australia but I'm really sorry to say you that I do not
know any devotee of Guru-dev residing in Melbourne. I'm still looking for Gurudev's disciples.
If you know somebody from Melbourne please let me know in my e-mail id: gregorian96@googlemail.com.
Jai Nitai...
See you both for Radhasthami.
Take care
