22. Krishna himself confirms the importance of a spiritual master. Bhagavat Gita 4-34 Tat vidhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya upadeksyanti te jnanam jnaninas tattva darsinah If you want to know the truth you have to search for a spiritual master. Offer obeisances to him, make relevant inquirreries and offer him sincere service. The selfrealized soul can teach you because he has seen the truth. Imlitala

29. Let me finish this presentation offering my prostrated dandavats at the Lotusfeet of my spiritual master Srila Prabhupada. He and my other Siksa Gurus have kindly helped me to survive all these years in the beautiful company of Vaisnavas. They are entitled to do with me what they like. I simply pray for their mercy. Whatever useful thing I may have been able to do it is his rightful claim of credit. Let his teachings be victorious for all humanity to benefit. He is the messanger of love divine. The benefits of taking shelter in his instructions gives you much more then you may imagine in your wildest dreams. A pure devotee of the Lord Krishna can give you even entrance into the spiritual world. But you have to take a one way ticket only. OM TAT SAT
