Vrindävana is of course, very impressive for devotional service, but that also is not advisable to remain alone. I am trying to get a nice place at Vrindävana and when that place is there I shall personally be present with some devotees and appreciate the atmosphere of Vrindävana. So long we are engaged in devotional service with proper guidance certainly we are always in a transcendental position, and the transcendental position is unlimited; it doesn't matter whether you are in Vrindävana or the USA But still, for everyone, Vrindävana's atmosphere is very sweet.

But so long we have not completely freed our material attachment, even Vrindävana residence becomes uncongenial. Just like in the case of Kirtanänanda, it so happened. This seeking for solitude is simply a reaction on our past nonsense activities, or it is negation, voidism. Our sound position is always being engaged in the service of 1986 Krsna; that is the positive standing."

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 7.9.10-11 — Montreal, July 14, 1968 No. Utopian, yes. That is the exact word. You are thinking something, building castle in the air. So Bhāgavata says durāśayā, utopian theory. He's thinking that "I shall be very great by doing...
