Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 29]
Narottama dāsa Thākura advises everyone to stick to the principle of carrying out the orders of the spiritual master. One should not desire anything else. If the regulative principles ordered by the spiritual master are followed rigidly, the mind will gradually be trained to desire nothing but the service of Kṛṣṇa. Such training is the perfection of life.
TEXT 69

तमश्चन्द्रमसोवेदमुपरज्यावयासते
॥ ६९॥
sattvaika-niṣṭhe manasi bhagavat-pārśva-vartini tamaś candramasīvedam uparajyāvabhāsate
sattva-eka-niṣṭhe —in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness;  manasi —in a mind;  bhagavat —with the Supreme Personality of Godhead;  pārśva-vartini —being constantly associated;  tamaḥ —the dark planet;  candramasi —in the moon;  iva —like;  idam —this cosmic manifestation;  uparajya —being connected;  avabhāsate —becomes manifest.

Such observation is not always possible, but it becomes manifest exactly like the dark planet known as Rāhu, which is observed in the presence of the full moon.
PURPORT
It has been explained in the previous verse that all desires on the mental platform become visible one after another. Sometimes, however, by the supreme will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the whole stockpile can be visible all at one time. In  Brahma-saṁhitā  it is said,  karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhājām  (5.54). When a person is fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, his stockpile of material desires is minimized. Indeed, the desires no longer fructify in the form of gross bodies. Instead,
