It is an extreme level of love!? Certainly this level of love is "out of

this world!" or totally transcendental.

Srila Prabhupada wrote to me confirming that the Spiritual Master is

responsible to deliver the disciple including coming back to deliver the

disciple. Even if the Guru has other options of getting the disciple back,

the "bottom line" is that if all else fails the guru himself will be

responsible to return and deliver the disciple. The commitment is there. In

the meantime if another devotee can see the disciple gets delivered then it

is a wonderful devotional service for the Spiritual Master.

 

Your servant,

 

Jayapataka Swami
