prabhupada II

since we cannot visually experience
the presence of the Supersoul...

out of His immense compassion
the Supersoul appears before us...

as a Pure Devotee
the spiritual Master...

such a spiritual Master is
as worshipable as Krishna is

for in His dealings there are no activities
than those of transcendental service
to the Lord

karanam guna-sango 'sya
sad-asad-yoni-janmasu
[Gita 13.22]

we should always seek
good association

Devotee
association

if we live with good association
than we cultivate knowledge
