Gadhada Last Section Vach. 21 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

Therefore, whilst in the Satsang, there should be an extremely firm understanding that one is a soul; one should affiliate with the Satsang in a way that affection for the body or the relations of the body remains. For example, a gold chain remains the same during all six seasons but does not wilt during the heat of summer. Similarly, if someone has firmly established the Satsang within him, he does not regress from the Satsang in any manner, regardless of the kinds of miseries he faces or the insults he endures in the Satsang. Only such a firm Vaishnav disciple is My relative and only such a person is of My own caste. Whilst in this body, I want to reside only amongst such Vaishnavs, and even in the abode of Lord Shree Krishna, I want to live amongst such Vaishnavs. This is what I have determined. You should also have the same determination because you have all taken patronage under Me and therefore, I must tell you what is constructive for you. A friend should be recognised as someone who says things that are constructive, even though they may be distressing. That is the characteristic of a friend. For that reason, you must understand this matter.
