In Gaudia Vaisnava Tattva, not only are there branches of disciplic succession but also branches and networks of countless varieties of services offered to  Divinity. Both are synonymous , connecting to a disciplic succession automatically means connecting to services of Divinity.
Services are carried not only in the material world  and when perfected ,  the example has been given , of cold iron becoming like red hot fire .Ones body mind and senses become spiritualized by Mahaprabhu and Sri Gurus grace.  Significantly ,  services directly connected with Goloka Vrndavana and the residents thereof begin to become revealed and experienced .

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

The results of following the networking of services of the  various branches of disciplic succession is sweetness of a once  desert like  heart and a distaste for the bitterness that once posed itself  as sweet here in this world of names is rejected .

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 is  like that and should be understood as such .
