{{VaniQuotebox| | {{VaniQuotebox|A spiritual master who is one hundred percent Krsna conscious is the bona fide spiritual master, for he can solve the problems of life| Academic knowledge, scholarship, high position, etc., are all useless in solving the problems of life; help can be given only by a spiritual master like Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, the conclusion is that a spiritual master who is one hundred percent Kṛṣṇa conscious is the bona fide spiritual master, for he can solve the problems of life. Lord Caitanya said that one who is master in the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, regardless of his social position, is the real spiritual master. '''(Bhagavad-gītā 2.8)'''}} | ||

To the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava this forest is the forest of Vṛndā, or Vṛndāvana. If one takes shelter of Vṛndāvana under Vṛndāvaneśvarī, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, certainly all the problems of his life are solved very easily. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.8.24)'''}} | ||

This doggish conception should be rejected immediately. One should be prepared to understand the spirit soul and the supreme spirit, God, who are eternally related. Thus one may return home, back to Godhead, having solved all the problems of life. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 7.7.21)'''}} | ||
