Don't measure yourself against someone else's stage, and don't wait to graduate into a different category of devotee. Srila Gurudev says it plainly: one who is beginning spiritual life chants Hare Krishna; one who is advancing chants the very same Hare Krishna; and one who is already perfect chants Hare Krishna again. Even when Krishna leaves Vrindavan for Mathura and Radharani cries in separation, the same syllables fall from Her lips: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna. One and the same sound on the tongue of the beginner clumsily turning his first beads, and on the tongue of the gopis in the eternal abode.
