Srila Prabhupada, Los Angeles, January 12, 1969: […] And because you have to select spiritual master, a self- realized soul… Just like if you want to study particular subject matter, you have to approach a realized person, a perfect person. Then you get. “The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.” One who has not seen the truth, he cannot.
Now, one may question, “Whether you have seen Krishna?” So how Krishna can be seen? Yes. A spiritual master must have seen Krishna. Without seeing, he cannot be spiritual master. But how Krishna can be seen? Krishna can be seen by love. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena [Bs. 5.38]. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santah sadaiva hrdayesu vilokayanti.
Just like if you are in love with somebody, you can see him constantly—he is always on your eyes, anyone you love—so similarly, Krishna also can be seen by development of love. Otherwise how we can see Krishna? He is so great, unlimited. Your eyes, your senses, are all limited. You cannot see the unlimited by your limited sense perception. But you can see… Not you can see, but svayam eva sphuraty adah. When you are developed in the sense of love of Godhead, then He reveals unto you. Therefore you can see. Full Lecture
