346 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 9
PURPORT

This is a good example of a person who had become so successful that he was
able to capture the attention of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu even while reading
Bhagavad-gitd incorrectly. His spiritual activities did not depend on material things
such as correct pronunciation. Rather, his success depended on strictly following
the instructions of his spiritual master.

yasya deve para bhaktir
yatha deve tatha gurau
tasyaite kathita hy arthah
prakasante mahatmanah
“Only unto those great souls who have implicit faith in both the Lord and the
spiritual master are all the imports of Vedic knowledge automatically
revealed.”(Svet. Up. 6.23) ;

Actually the meaning of the words of Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam are
revealed to one strictly following the orders of the spiritual master. They are also
revealed to one who has equal faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In
other words, being faithful to both Krsna and the spiritual master is the secret of
success in spiritual life.
