Vṛndāvana-Mahimāmṛtam 1.32-34





na kuru na vada kiṁcid vismarāśeṣa-dṛśyaṁ
smara mithuna-mahas tad gaura-nīlaṁ smarārtam |
bahujana-samavāyād dūram udvijya yāhi
priya nivasatu divya-śrīla-vṛndāvanāntaḥ ||

Don’t do anything, don’t say anything. Forget everything you have ever seen. Just remember that Eros-piqued black and gold Divine Couple. Be indifferent to the general masses and stay far from them, my dear, and just stay within the confines of divine, beautiful Vrindavan. (1.32)



kara-nihita-kapolo nityam aśrūṇi muñcan
parihṛta-jana-saṅgo’rocamānānuyānaḥ |
pratipada-bahulārtyā rādhikā-kṛṣṇa-dāsye
vasati parama-dhanyaḥ ko’pi vṛndāvane’smin ||

Holding his hand against his cheek while constantly releasing tears, abandoning the company of non-devotees and without any taste for keeping servants or followers, and at every moment performing service to Radha and Krishna with intense emotion, some most fortunate person resides here in this Vrindavan. (1.33)
Many of the verses in VM are thought with ambiguous references to "some person" are thought to refer to Hit Harivams. 



asulabhām iha loke labdhum icchasy ayatnāt
yadi vipula-dhana-strī-putra-gehottamādi |
kara-nipatita-mukti-kṛṣṇa-bhaktiṁ ca kāṅkṣasy
adhivasa para-dhāmaivādya vṛndāvanākhyam ||

If you desire to acquire the rarest things of this world, great wealth, wife, children, a beautiful home; if you year to acquire liberation in your hands, or devotion to Krishna, then from this very day reside here in this supreme abode named Vrindavan. (1.34) 
Prabodhananda's message: Be prepared to accept everything, or nothing. Just stay in Vrindavan, by hook or by crook.
