"The Lord in the temple in the worshipable form is never to be considered to be made of stone or wood, for the Lord in His archa incarnation as the Deity in the temple shows immense favour to the fallen souls by His auspicious presence. By the hearing process, as mentioned herein, this realization of the presence of the Lord in the temple is made possible."
(Srimad-Bhagavatam, 2.3.21, Purport)

"To feel separation from the Spiritual Master or Krishna is very good position. That means one who is in pure love with Krishna and His Representative, Spiritual Master, he thinks always of Them. And this thinking process is Krishna consciousness. If we can think always of Krishna even in separation, that is Krishna Consciousness. And in the absolute platform, there is no difference of separation and meeting. The separation is also meeting, rather in separation one relishes the loving relationship more tasty. So don't be disappointed that you are separated from me, I am always thinking of you how you are making progress there."
.
(Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada letter, October 21, 1968)
