Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha speaks about glances .The glance of Mahavisnu and the glance of the conditioned living beings are two different things .However, conditioned glances can change to less conditioned glances by cultivation and practice of spiritual knowledge in the correct manner. Systematic acquisition of knowledge by the correct cultures of the decending process , by grace , is described by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas. Ones glance changes from one of exploitation to service .The highest exhibition of a glance with the heart of incalculable love and devotion are described by the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas in their elaborations of the tenth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam ,Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu personally came to experience the power of such a glance and taught about its glorious position.

The members of any Gaudia Vaisnava society would be sadly mistaken if they thought that the full gamut of the conversation between Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Ramananda Roy did.not apply to their respective societies , or them personally, as a means of legitimate progression. Putting on foot firmly on the floor before lifting one’s leg to take another step is essential of course, less we fall on the ground. The litratures of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas are meant for the prospective members of Gaudia Vaisnava groups of devotees without them the full journey which Ramananda Roy and Mahāprabhu had could not be completed.
This is common sense Vaisnavism.
