Please correlate Your statement with that in the Gita?

[Ms. Thrylokya asked: As Lord Kṛṣṇa, You taught us to overcome likes and dislikes (Buddhāya viśuddhāya...). As Śrī Datta Swāmi, You are teaching us that we should like what God likes and we should dislike what God dislikes. Please correlate both these sentences.]

Swāmi Replied:- Kṛṣṇa taught that the soul shall leave its personal likes and dislikes and Datta Swāmi taught that the likes and dislikes of God shall be your likes and dislikes. Both are one and the same in essence. Kṛṣṇa told you to leave drinking coffee and Datta Swami told you to drink the divine nectar. If you drink divine nectar, you will automatically leave coffee since coffee itself drops out spontaneously and naturally without trace of any effort. In fact, what Datta Swāmi told naturally includes what Kṛṣṇa told. The concepts taught in the college include naturally the previous concepts taught in the school. While learning the concepts of college, you need not put any effort to learn the concepts of the school. Concepts of both the levels do not contradict each other but, complement each other.
