in the renounced order of life; he can remain in his present condition of life, but he must search out the association of a bona fide devotee of the Lord and hear from him the transcendental message of the Lord with faith and conviction. That is the path of the  paramahamsa  recommended herein. Amongst various holy names of the Lord, He is called also  ajita , or one who can never be conquered by anyone else. Yet He can be conquered by the  paramahamsa  path, as is practically realized and shown by the great spiritual master Lord Brahmā. Lord Brahmā has personally recommended this  paramahamsa-pantha  in his own words as follows:
jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva 
  jīvanti sanmukharitām bhavadīyavārtām 
  sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatām tanuvāṅmanobhir 
  ye prāyaśo jita-jito pyasi tais trilokyām
Lord Brahmā said, “O my Lord Kṛṣṇa, a devotee who abandons the path of empiric philosophical speculation aimed at becoming merged in the existence of the Supreme and engages himself in  hearing  Your glories and activities from a bona fide  sādhu , or saint, and who lives an honest life in the occupational engagement of his social life, can conquer Your sympathy and mercy even though You are  ajita , or unconquerable by anyone.” ( Bhāg.  10.14.3) That is the path of the  paramahamsas , which was personally followed by Lord Brahmā and later on recommended by him for attaining perfect success in life.
