PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Thākura has sung,  kṛṣṇa se tomāra, kṛṣṇa dite pāra, tomāra śakati āche . In this song, Bhaktivinoda Thākura describes that a pure Vaiṣṇava, as the proprietor of Kṛṣṇa and love of Kṛṣṇa, can deliver both to anyone and everyone he likes. Therefore to get Kṛṣṇa and love of Kṛṣṇa one must seek the mercy of pure devotees. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura also says,  yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi:  “By the mercy of the spiritual master one is benedicted by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa. Without the grace of the spiritual master one cannot make any advancement.” By the grace of a Vaiṣṇava or bona fide spiritual master one can get both love of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa Himself.
