Dear Gopalbhai,
Your posting was really nice to read. Only if we keep these things in mind, we can surely rise above self and become an ideal & true Vallabhiya Vaishnav.
Dinta rakh ke jo jeeyo... vo hin sampoorna jeeyo.... jo rahyo mithya abhimaan me... vaako jeeven vyartha bhayo !!
Shri Vallabhadhish ki Jay !!
Shri Vallabhadhish ki Jai !!

Jai Shree Krishna
Couldn't agree more with above theory.
A little different theory:
It is true that there are certain rituals that are supposed to be performed by only a certain caste and/or require a certain methodology.
For certain rituals wealth is necessary. Spiritual pilgrims tend to criticize preoccupation with material wealth .
However one must concede that without the help of wealth a lot of good work would not be possible.
One need however keep in mind that wealth is the means, not the end.
Jai Shree Krishna

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh
It is not atall difficult for it. Shrimahaprabhuji also explains how to leave life, so it doesn't mean that if we don't keep nistha in srivallabh vachan, then only we can survive. Shrimahaprabhuji's vaani should be there at each and every instance to us.,like if not the granths then shrimahaprabhuji explains to recite astakshar mantra, is also shrivallab vaani, so i don't think it is not difficult.
