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

It is imperative that one approaches a spiritual master, for by such association one proportionately develops his consciousness towards the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The Srimad-Bhagavatam states that any bona fide preacher of God consciousness must have the qualities of titiksa (tolerance) and karuna (compassion). In the character of Lord Jesus Christ we find both these qualities.

The highest summit of spiritual perfection is knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

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

A devotee should be fixed in the conclusion that, the spiritual master cannot be subject to criticism and should never be considered equal to a common man.

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