Spiritual master is representative of God. Similarly, king is also representative of God. The father is also representative of God. These are the statements of the sastras. Because they will guide. The king will guide. The spiritual master will guide. The father will guide. What is that guidance? That guidance is how one can become Krishna Conscious by education, by culture.

Faith is unflinching trust in something divine.

The genuine Guru is God's representative and he speaks about God and nothing else.

Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a liberated devotee. Such a spiritual master is none other than Krishna himself.

You should not be carried away by the dictation of the mind, but the mind should be carried by your dictation.

One should not be happy or distressed over desirables and undesirables, knowing that such feelings are just created by the mind.

In the last stage of the spiritual master's life, the devotees of the spiritual master should take preaching activities into their own hands. In this way the spiritual master can sit down in a solitary place and render nirjana-bhajana.
