One should accept the bonafide spiritual master and render service unto<br />
him with great devotion and faith. whatever one has in one's possession<br />
should be offered to the spiritual master, and in the association of saintly<br />
persons and devotees one should,. hear the glories of the Lord with faith,<br />
glorify the transcendental qualities and activities and activities of the Lord,<br />
always meditate the Lord's lotus feet, and worship the Diety of the Lord<br />
strictly according, to the injunctions of the Sastra and <strong>Guru</strong>.<br />
<strong>Sri</strong>la Prahlada <strong>Maharaja</strong> also expressed before his father Hiranyakasipu<br />
sravanam kirtanam visnoh<br />
smaranam padasevanam<br />
arccanam vandanam dasyam<br />
sakhyam atma-nivedanam<br />
iti pumsarpita visnoh<br />

kriyeta bhagavaty addha<br />
tan manye adhitam uttamam<br />
Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities,<br />
paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Visnu, remembering them, serving the<br />
lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen<br />
types of paraphernalias, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His<br />
servant, considering the Lord is one's best friend, and surrendering every<br />
thing unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and<br />
words) - these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service.<br />
One who has dedicated his life to the service of Krsna through these nine<br />
methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has<br />
acquired complete knowledge.<br />
From the speech of Naradamuni<br />
In the conversation between Vyasadev and Narada muni <strong>Sri</strong> Narada asked,<br />
"O great sage Vyasadev ! you have studied the all vedas with great care<br />
and yet, why do you mourn like one frustrated of his purpose ?." Then<br />
Vyasa deva replied. "All you have said about me is perfectly correct.<br />
Despite all this, I am not pacified. I will therefore question you about the<br />
root cause of my dissatisfaction, for you are a man of unlimited<br />
knowledge, due to your being the son of Brahma." Then <strong>Sri</strong>Narada said<br />
( Bhag 1/5/8,9) -<br />
bhavatanudita-prayam<br />
Yaso bhagavato 'malam<br />
yenaivasau na tusyeta<br />
manye tad darsanam khilam<br />
You have not actually described vividly the sublime and spotless glories of<br />
the supreme Lord <strong>Sri</strong> Krisna. That philosophy which does not satisfy the<br />
transcendental sense of the Lord is considered incomplete or worthless.
