I
- I do not think myself an authority. I am just to serve the order of my spiritual master
- I have written in the first publications of SB, "The spiritual master lives forever by His divine instruction and the disciple lives with him.", because I have always served my Guru Maharaja & followed His teachings I am now even never separated from Him
M
- Meeting the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the instruction of the spiritual master. This is technically called vani-seva
- My Spiritual Master, Sarasvati Gosvami Thakura, may appear to be physically not present, but still because I try to serve His instruction I never feel separated from Him. I expect that all of you should follow these instructions
O
- One should serve the words of the spiritual master. The disciple must stick to whatever the spiritual master orders. Simply by following on that line, one sees the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- One's development of a taste for executing these instructions (of the spiritual master) is the test of one's devotional service. Initially, one must develop confidence by hearing the science of devotion from a qualified spiritual master
T
- The disciple and spiritual master are never separated because the spiritual master always keeps company with the disciple as long as the disciple follows strictly the instructions of the spiritual master. This is called the association of vani - words
- The Spiritual Master is present wherever his sincere disciple is trying to serve his instructions
- They are understanding association with the Spiritual Master is the same as association with His vani or teachings. This is a transcendental fact
- To serve the Spiritual Master's word is more important than to serve him physically
