Imported quote 14470 In this verse the words saksad bhagavatoktena guruna harina are very significant. The Supreme Personality of Godhead speaks directly to the individual soul when the devotee has completely purified himself by rendering devotional service to the Lord. Lord Krsna confirms this also in Bhagavad-gita:
(More...) The Lord is the Supersoul seated in everyone's heart, and He acts as the caitya-guru, the spiritual master within. However, He gives direct instructions only to the advanced, pure devotees. In the beginning, when a devotee is serious and sincere, the Lord gives him directions from within to approach a bona fide spiritual master. When one is trained by the spiritual master according to the regulative principles of devotional service and is situated on the platform of spontaneous attachment for the Lord (raga-bhakti), the Lord also gives instructions from within. Tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-pūrvakam. This distinct advantage is obtained by a liberated soul. Having attained this stage, King Malayadhvaja was directly in touch with the Supreme Lord and was receiving instructions from Him directly.

That is Vaikuntha. So Vaikuntha... God's name is also Vaikuntha. In southern India they say Vehkatesvara. That is apabhramsa of Vaikunthesvara. They say Vehkatesvara. But Vaikunthesvara. Vaikuntha, the spiritual world, and the master of the Vaikuntha, He is called Vehkatesvara or Vaikunthesvara. So in this way we can train up ourself. Keep your mind always thinking of Krsna, as Krsna says, man-mana bhava mad-bhaktaḥ. Then you become gradually the first-class yogi. You don't require to make any exercise. The..., everything will be done automatically. Krsna will give you intelligence. As you concentrate your mind on Krsna's lotus feet, immediately you become qualified to talk with Krsna. Immediately. That is said by Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita: tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-pūrvakam, buddhi-yogam dadami tam [Bg 10.10].
(More...) Imported quote 19399 As Brahma, the first created being, had to undergo tapasya to get information from the Supreme... The Supreme Lord is within you. He's there. But He will advise. When you are fixed up by tapasya, determined with vow, then He will talk to you. He's ready to talk, but you require to acquire the qualification to hear Him. And what is that qualification? This Krsna consciousness, devotional service. As it is said in the Bhagavad-gita, tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-pūrvakam [Bg 10.10]. Such persons...
