video: A Biography of Srila Prabhupada | IskconBangaloreGroup
Prabhupada, Bombay, March 28, 1971: […] The sravana-kirtana (hearing and chanting) is the beginning of Krishna conscious life. One who is very fortunate, he’s in meeting, he meets somebody who is a pure devotee and accepts him as his spiritual master. Therefore here it is stated, mayy asakta-manah partha yogam yunjan mad-asrayah. One has to take shelter of a bona fide spiritual master… A spiritual master is always bona fide.
And if he cultivates this Krishna consciousness under the direction of a spiritual master, asraye lana bhaje, Krishna tare nahi tyaje. Krishna does not reject him. Krishna accepts him. Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says, yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado yasyaprasadan na gatih kuto ’pi **. That, Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says, that “If you can please your spiritual master, then Krishna is automatically pleased. And if you cannot please your spiritual master, then there is no way to understand Krishna.”
So therefore Krishna says particularly here, mayy asakta-manah partha yogam yunjan… We have to execute the Krishna consciousness yoga system under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master. Mad-asrayah. Then asamsaya, without any doubt. Samagram, in fullness. In fullness means brahmeti paramatmeti bhagavan iti. Krishna is sac-cid-ananda-vigraha [Bs. 5.1]
