First birth is from your parents, but real birth, real life, begins when one accepts a bona fide spiritual master and renders service unto him. Then the path is open for going back to home, back to Godhead, to live eternally in full knowledge and full bliss and in association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, Lord Krishna.

A spiritual master who is one hundred percent Krishna conscious is the bona fide spiritual master.

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.

Living entity is food for another living entity, it does not mean that I shall eat my children also. There is discretion.

A grain of devotion is more valuable thank tons of faithlessness.

The holy name of Krishna has extraordinary spiritual potency because the name of God is nondifferent from God Himself.

Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bonafide spiritual master by the grace of Krishna. By the mercy of both Krishna and the spiritual masters, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.
