The Person Responsible For My Spiritual Life

“The spiritual master can drive away all nescience, as the sun drives away darkness. Even though a person may be in full knowledge that he is not this body but is transcendental to the body, he still may not be able to discriminate between the soul and the Supersoul. However, he can know everything well if he cares to take shelter of the perfect, bona fide Krishna conscious spiritual master.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 5.16 Purport)
