So if you want to become recognized by Krishna very quickly, you take up this process of becoming spiritual master, present the Bhagavad-gita as it is. Your life is perfect. When someone is initiated they have received transcendental knowledge and their past karma is burned up, they must be a bit like a new born baby. For knowledge we have got to go to the right person, one who has actually seen or experienced the Absolute Truth. Unless we find such a person who has actually seen the Absolute Truth or who has in his experience what is Absolute Truth, there is very little chance of our spiritual advancement.
Spiritual master is the official collector.
This is the Vedic system, to receive knowledge through the transparent medium, guru, and to receive Guru means the honor goes to Krishna. So this is necessary. This is not an artificial thing, but spiritually it is necessary. So that's hardly being Prabhupada's representative. I am separated from my Guru Maharaja since 1936 but I am always with him so long I work according to his direction.
