Santa Cruz, Bolivia

The spiritual master is the eternal associate of the Supreme Lord, Krsna, and by his causeless mercy only is one able to embark upon the path of devotional service. A moment's association with you, Srila Prabhupada, can cancel out the miseries of unending births in samsara, and so I am only praying that one so foolish and fallen as I can come to know you, if but for only a moment. I long to have eyes anointed with the pure love necessary to see you. And when I come to know you, then I will also know Krsna because you are always situated at His lotus feet. Please let me go with you, for I want to serve you always, whether you are present before me or we are separated in love. You are my eternal spiritual master, the eternal companion of my soul, and my only refuge in this chaos of material existence. I beg to kick this grotesque, distorted false ego to pieces and cry to serve you in sincerity. But for you, life is nothing more than an unending, screaming nightmare existence. Please engage me eternally and thus keep me always near you.
