bahu-sastre bahu-vakye citte bhrama haya

sadhya-sadhana srestha na haya niscaya

 

"If one becomes a bookworm, reading many books and scriptures and hearing

many commentaries and the instructions of many men, this will produce doubt

within the heart. One cannot in this way ascertain the real goal of life."

(CC, Adi-lila, 16.11)

 

Simply by studying, becoming bookworm, you cannot advance. The real secret

is... That is stated in the Vedas. Unflinching faith in God and spiritual

master. Then things will be revealed from within. How much strength we have

got to study all these books? But Vedas says, yasya deve para bhaktir yatha

deve tatha gurau. If one has got unflinching faith in God and similar faith

in the spiritual master, tasyaite kathita hy arthah prakasante mahatmanah,

to him only the Vedic knowledge becomes revealed.

Angeles, November 18, 1968
