follow rules to become spontaneous

[Guest guest]

One has to learn to use a typewriter by following the regulative principles

of the typing book. One has to place his fingers on the keys in such a way

and practice, but when one becomes adept, he can type swiftly and correctly

without even looking at the keys. Similarly, one has to follow the rules and

regulations of devotional service as they are set down by the spiritual

master; then one can come to the point of spontaneous loving service.
