A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube conversation (recorded Sep 10, 2023) in which Jaya Pataka Swami answers a question about how to remain Krishna conscious when separated from devotee association. He advises maintaining friendly but formal, superficial interactions with non-devotees, avoiding intimate personal sharing, and strengthening one’s practice so one can better withstand unfavorable association.

Once we come out of devotees association, it becomes difficult to be and act in Krishna consciousness. How to deal with this nice question?
That's why it says we should always be in devotee association.
That's why it is said that we should always be in devotees association.
If you are outside of the devotees.
Association, but if you are outside of devotees association, then you don't want to.
Really take intimate association with the other non devotees.
Then you don't want to take intimate intimate association with non devotees.
Keep them formal, keep it friendly.
Keep them formal, Keep them friendly.
Don't open up and talk about intimate things.
But don't open up and talk about the intimate things because they'll open up.
Also and tell you there are things which will be bad association.
Because they would also be open up and tell their things which would be a bad association.
I do get stronger than actually you can withstand this association.
As you get stronger, you can naturally withstand this association and you only associate.
On a very superficial level with non.
Devotees and you are associating with them on a superficial level level with non devotees.
