Based on the complete text of Samba Prabhu, I understand he has used

'completely realised souls' and 'bonafide Acaryas' as synonyms in the

current context of discussion.

 

I agree that there is more than one way of presenting or saying the same

thing, and the details may be different, but there is no difference of

opinion among bonafide Acaryas of *our* Parampara.

 

For example:

 

One Acarya may say that one must chant attentively.

 

Another Acarya may say, it is offensive to chant inattentively.

 

Another Acarya may say, "Krishna does not see how attentively you are

chanting, but how much effort you are putting to chant attentively".

 

If you note carefully all three of them or saying the same. The way it is

told may be different, the details may be different, but the opinion is

same. The opinion is "one must (try to) chant attentively".

 

Your humble servant,

Bhadra Govinda Das.
