300 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 6
TRANSLATION
By service of the Absolute Truth, even for a few days, a devotee
attains firm and fixed intelligence in Me. Consequently he goes on to
become My associate in the transcendental world after giving up the
present deplorable material worlds.
PURPORT
Service of the Absolute Truth involves rendering service unto the
Absolute Personality of Godhead under the direction of the bona fide
spiritual master who is a transparent via media between the Lord and
the neophyte devotee. The neophyte devotee has no capacity to approach
the Absolute Personality of Godhead by the strength of his present imper-
fect material senses, and therefore under the direction of the spiritual
master he is trained in transcendental service of the Lord. And by such
training, even for some days, the neophyte devotee gets intelligence in
such transcendental service, which leads him ultimately to get free from
perpetual inhabitation in the material worlds and to be promoted to the
transcendental world to become one of the liberated associates of the Lord
in the kingdom of God.
