His works are hailed as gems of pure Vaisnavism by scholars, philosophers, and devotees worldwide. He authored Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamrtam , a Sanskrit devotional treatise on the subject of divine surrender which has become a standard text-book for devotees everywhere. He was known as a pure saint of the most simple living habits. He was respected and loved for his saintly simplicity, and his affectionate nature and dealings.
He was revered by his godbrothers, disciples, other devotees, and the general public, and was unanimously venerated for his formidable encyclopedic command of the revealed scriptures and his unique and unprecedented style of casting newer and newer light upon the most internal philosophical and revelatory purports of pure Sri Gaudiya Vaisnava siddhanta.
Anything created by truth or constructed in truth, differentiated characteristics over the fundamental base, vilasa, is also truth.
I like to say that rta is what is deduced from satya, the structure which we find on the foundation of truth, sat-chit-ananda vilasa. Srila Sridhar Maharaj: Netra means the instrument, the process by which we observe, by which we come to have a conception and understanding of a thing. Netra means a particular instrument through which we can come in contact with the outside world.
Rk , as in Rg-veda , means sound. Our vision and destination will be through Veda, the revealed truth. Rta-satya-netram then can mean one who can be seen or one who sees through these two eyes: one Veda, sastra [scripture], and the other direct perception, the sadhu. Sadhu and sastra, who can be approached and seen by these two eyes, or who sees through these two eyes, is rta-satya-netram.

Satya means sat, the sadhu. We can see Him through the sadhu, and we can see Him through rta, meaning rk, sastra, Veda. Sadhu and scripture, these are the two ways by which He can be seen. We can approach Him through scripture as well as through the sadhu. So, He is known as rta-satya-netram.

The real conception in the heart of the sadhu, that is the fundamental conception of the truth, and what has been produced by the sadhus as sastra, through that also we can see Him. So, through the practices of the sadhu sadhu-acharan and the advice of the scripture sastra-upades , He can be seen. This may be another interpretation.
Rta-satya-netram may also mean that He has two eyes, one of justice, and one of mercy. He sees us not only with an attitude of justice, but also through His other eye, that of mercy. Rta can mean that which can attract mercy, that which is deduced from the fundamental truth and can attract mercy; the deduction that can produce mercy in Him. So, He sees with the eye of affection and the eye of justice.
According to the circumstances, He may have to distribute justice, but that is not vindictiveness; it done with mercy.

Hrsikena Hrsikesa-sevanam : whatever you do outwardly—with the hands, eyes, ears, mind, or any other channel or acquired means—must be meant for the satisfaction of the Centre and not for any agency within the covers over the self.
Krishnanusilanam : culture Krishna in any way; contact Him by any means and culture: speak about Him, hear about Him, and serve Him. What you do does not matter. But whatever you do must be anyabhilasita-sunyam , free from the fleeting desires that come along at any and all times without rhyme or reason. Then jnana-karmady-anavrtam. Karma and jnan are both negative, undesireable engagements [they do not bring satisfaction to the Lord].

Krishnanusilanam must be independent of these interests. No representation of the covers over the soul should remain within it. There is a party that is satisfying, trying to satisfy, Krishna. Try to avoid that opposition camp and follow the direct service camp. Elimination is necessary there also [in the spiritual world]. First you are to eliminate anyabhilas, karma, and jnan.
