Imported quote 19481 So Sanatana Gosvami is guru. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is authorizing him to become guru. This is parampara system. Nobody can become guru all of a sudden. Self-made guru, that is not guru. Here Caitanya, er, Sanatana Gosvami is presented as the disciple, ideal disciple. He is asking, ke ami kene amaya jare tapa-traya, process how to approach guru, how to ask him question. Tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena [Bg 4.34].
(More...) Imported quote 19874 They are planning to be very comfortable in this material existence, but they are still more being confused and failure. That peace movement, that United Nation movement, everything is failure. Why? These miseries of this material existence cannot be stopped by any material means. One has to take the shelter of spiritual means. Just like the blazing fire in the forest has to wait for the cloud in the sky, similarly, one has to wait for the merciful cloud as the spiritual master. That is described. Tranaya karunya-ghanaghanatvam, praptasya kalyana-gunarnavasya.
(More...) We should always remember that the spiritual master is in the disciplic succession. The original spiritual master is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He blesses His next disciple, just like Brahma. Brahma blesses his next disciple, just like Narada. Narada blesses his next disciple, just like Vyasa. Vyasa blesses his next disciple, Madhvacarya. Similarly, the blessing is coming. Just like royal succession-the throne is inherited by disciplic or hereditary succession-similarly, this power from the Supreme Personality of Godhead has to receive.
