Pride (CC and Other Books)
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta
CC Adi-lila
CC Adi 1.35, Purport:
There is no difference between the spiritual master's instructions and the spiritual master himself. In his absence, therefore, his words of direction should be the pride of the disciple. If one thinks that he is above consulting anyone else, including a spiritual master, he is at once an offender at the lotus feet of the Lord. Such an offender can never go back to Godhead.
