Krsna , Diksa Guru and Siksa Guru

[Guest guest]

When by learning from the self-realized spiritual master one actually

engages himself in the service of Lord Visnu, functional devotional service

begins. The procedures of this devotional service are known as abhidheya, or

actions one is dutybound to perform. Our only shelter is the Supreme Lord,

and one who teaches how to approach Krsna is the functioning form of the

Personality of Godhead. There is no difference between the shelter-giving

Supreme Lord and the initiating and instructing spiritual masters. If one

foolishly discriminates between them, he commits an offense in the discharge

of devotional service.
