Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Forgiveness, p. 162
There is no loss in any Krishna conscious endeavor, but if we commit Vaisnava aparadha, our advancement will be checked; we will not be able to make any more advancement. And if we cannot make more advancement, the seeds of fruitive desire may sprout. Ramacandra Puri is an example of this misfortune. He offended Madhavendra Puri (and later Lord Caitanya), and because of these offences, he became attracted again to material desires. If we commit such an offence, we will fall from our position. But we can also be redeemed for our offence if the Vaisnava we offended is forgiving.
Srila Prabhupada
Letter to Vrndavana Candra, July 19, 1970
Question the fifth: If Mohammed as the servant of God and Lord Jesus Christ is the son of God, then where is the break of the disciplic succession? After all the disciplic succession is beginning from God, so how do you find that there is no disciplic succession? If the original tree has branches, twigs and leaves and they are in touch with the original tree, it is alright. The test is whether the line is in touch with the Supreme - that is all. Although Mohammed and Jesus Christ appeared in the Kali Yuga their instruction is as it is because the persons to whom they had to speak could not understand anymore and they find it difficult to understand even that much.
