Accept the words of an acarya
From Vaniquotes
Expressions researched:
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta
CC Madhya-lila
One must accept the words of an ācārya, a bona fide spiritual master, to clear the path for spiritual advancement
CC Madhya 10.17, Tanslation and Purport: The King said, "Bhattacarya, you are the most learned and experienced person I know. Therefore when you address Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as Lord Krsna, I accept this as the truth.
This is the way to advance in spiritual science. One must accept the words of an acarya, a bona fide spiritual master, to clear the path for spiritual advancement. This is the secret of success. However, one's guide must be a spiritual master who is actually an unalloyed devotee strictly following the instructions of the previous acarya without deviation. Whatever the spiritual master says must be accepted by the disciple. Only then is success certain. This is the Vedic system.
