Niranjana Swami
Taking Care of Krishna’s Devotees, p. 75

Prabhupada once said to his disciples: “If you love me, I’ll love you. It’s not very difficult to get my love. Just love me and I’ll love you; it won’t be very difficult for you.” Prabhupada showed his love in a very special way: he loved us first. Then he said, “If you love me, I’ll love you.” But there were no illusions in our hearts. We knew that the only way we could love Prabhupada so much was because he loved us first. Therefore it wasn’t so difficult to love Prabhupada. Prabhupada was just radiating his love for us and love for Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada
Letter to Robert and Karen, 19 April, 1970

When we are frustrated by the relative personalism of this material world, we try to find out, in material way, the opposite number. Just like a patient who is suffering in diseased condition tries to find out something opposite number. So this is a long course explanation, but actually impersonalism cannot give us the answer to our eternal search after peace. So far we are convinced from the Vedic literatures, God is a Person exactly like you are a person, I am a person, but His personality is very great, full with six opulences, and none of the living entities beginning from the highest like Lord Brahma down to the ant, nobody can be on the equal level with God.
