Therein lies the problem. We don't need modern psychology. Some may need

psychiatric assistance for neurological disorders or extreme mental

imbalances, but psychology isn't psychiatry.

 

And a devotee trained in psychology is not what is meant by "spiritual

counsellor" or adviser. Someone who has long years of devotional service,

has assimilated the knowledge, and can apply solutions, give counseling and

shelter to someone is a "spiritual counsellor."
