he established when one hears the transcendental message from the undisturbed  ācārya , with faith and love. One who has no faith in, or love for, Lord Kṛṣṇa cannot be convinced of this simple truth.

Those who are disturbed by the tides of material existence cannot know Ilim fully. Such half-educated spiritual masters try to make some compromise, and make the mass of human beings the object of worship. They do not know
