Real Spiritual Life Means Joyfulness. If I am not jolly that means maya has attacked me. A devotee shall never be not joyful. If he is morose, if he is unhappy, that means maya has attacked him. This is the test.
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. For the foolish person, This is Hindu religion, This is Christian religion, and This is Muhammadan religion. But religion is one.
