Today's Thought:

How to Obtain a Splendorous Vision of Reality
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin, Texas USA

To see things as they are we must purify our now polluted, distorted vision. As long as our vision is covered by the false conception of "I am the lord of all that I survey" we will not be able to see things as they are. To free ourselves from the false conception of being the lord we must understand who is the actual lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the source of all existence. By understanding Him properly under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master we will naturally surrender ourselves unto that amazingly glorious Supreme Person and our vision will become perfectly clear. We will have a splendorous undistorted vision of reality.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Who is Qualified to be Guru?


In Lesson C24 of the Ultimate Self Realization Course you wrote: "One does not need to be spiritually disadvantaged by the physical disappearance of a great spiritual master, such as ISKCON Founder-Acharya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, thinking that now there is no more opportunity for spiritual progress. All one has to do is find a sincere disciple of Srila Prabhupada and fully take shelter of him".

In this respect I ask you kindly answer the following questions:

How to recognize a sincere disciple of Srila Prabhupada who has the qualities of being a living spiritual master in order to take shelter of him?

Before leaving this world did Srila Prabhupada name any particular devotees to become spiritual masters to carry on his mission?

Answer: Sincere Strict Follower of Srila Prabhupada


Srila Prabhupada's full potency is transmitted through any of his disciples who are strictly following his teachings. If you will carefully study Srila Prabhupada's books and pray for his blessings to be able to properly understand this sublime knowledge, you will be blessed with the ability to recognize the disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are strictly following his teachings and purely representing him.

Before leaving this world Srila Prabhupada instructed that after his departure the new devotees who join his movement should become the disciples of his disciples, and that those of his disciples who were strictly following him should become initiating spiritual masters when they become mature in their Krishna consciousness.
