In the second chapter of Jiva Dharma, Bhaktivinoda Thakura establishes that Krsna-prema is the nitya-dharma, or the highest potential of the jiva. While doing so, he says some apparently unflattering words about other faith traditions like advaita-vedanta, buddhism, and islam.

As Gaudiya sadhakas in a pluralistic world, how are we to harmonize our faith in krsna-prema being the true nature of the soul with respecting other wisdom traditions?
