—Madhusudan

I offer my respectful humble obeisances unto the lotus feet of the bona-fide Spiritual Master who alone can deliver the fallen conditioned souls such as myself from the pangs of material bondage, anxiety and raging fire-like lust. And it is he only who can impart transcendental knowledge to such fallen souls, because he has received it perfectly from the previous bona-fide Spiritual Master as originally taught by the source of all knowledge, Krishna Himself. The sound of this knowledge to the ear is like nectar to the parched throat coming straight down through him from the spiritual sky, Krishna Loka. He is the transparent medium through which we can penetrate the darkness of this material world and see clearly the pure spiritual reality which is eternally manifest and full of bliss. We have no other choice, but to always humbly worship the all-great unlimited bona-fide spiritual master and join the march, back to Home, back to Godhead.
