In Gaudia Vaisnava Tattva, not only are there branches of disciplic successions but also branches and networks of countless varieties of services offered by each of those successions  directly liking  to  Divinity ,  both of course are synonymous , connecting to a disciplic succession automatically means connecting to services to Divinity.
Services to Divinity are carried out  not only in the spiritual world  but also in the material world  and when perfected are of similar qualities , the example has been given of cold iron being put in fire , it  becomes like red hot fire .  Ones body mind and senses can  become fully  spiritualized even in the material world by  connecting and following Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Guru , who can directly connect one to Krishna .  Significantly , the  services directly connected with Goloka Vrndavana and the residents thereof begin to become revealed and experienced, and the devotees relish the trancendental loving moods and directly take up their specific services.

The Vaishnavas , who have  aspirations for the sweetness of Krishna consciousness , begin to give up the many variables of fake sweetness and deceit masquerading as true and honest relationships within the material world .Instead ,they look for those  persons in true recovery mode and carry out their recovery and revival of Krishna consciousness in their company.

The results of following the networks of services of the  various branches of disciplic succession are trancendental and increasing sweetness of one’s consciousness and a distaste for the bitterness that the material world offers , in temporary affairs and that pose themselves as sweet in  this world of names.

On a tree, we see many branches , they all look different in their way , but on the other hand , if you rub the leaves together, they all taste the same . Thus, the many branches of Gaudia Vaisnavism are like those branches and should be understood as such by the broad thinking and generous hearted Vaisnava.
