Translation: Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me clearly what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me. "By nature's own way the complete system of material activities is a source of perplexity for everyone. In every step there is perplexity, and therefore it behooves one to approach a bona fide spiritual master who can give one proper guidance for executing the purpose of life. All Vedic literatures advise us to approach a bona fide spiritual master to get free from the perplexities of life, which happen without our desire."
Prabhupāda: Now you can discuss among yourselves whether you have approached such spiritual master. What is that? This purport?
Jayādvaita: Read again. "Therefore it behooves one to approach a bona fide spiritual master who can give one proper guidance for executing the purpose of life. All Vedic literatures advise us to approach a bona fide spiritual master to get free from the perplexities of life, which happen without our desire."
Prabhupāda: So, whether you have approached such spiritual master, that you can discuss. This is the necessity of approaching a spiritual master.
Jayādvaita: Necessity.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. It must. Tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet [MU 1.2.12].
Jayādvaita: Śrotriyaṁ brahma-niṣṭham.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. So, whether you have got such spiritual master who can guide you, proper guidance, what is stated there?
Jayādvaita: What is stated next?
Prabhupāda: No.
Jayādvaita: Oh, whether we've got such a spiritual master?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayādvaita: Oh, yes, because...
Prabhupāda: That you have to discuss.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna: It says the qualification is that he frees one from all the perplexities of life. So we are practically experiencing that, that by following the instructions of our spiritual master all our perplexities are vanished.
Hari-śauri: Saṁsāra-dāvānala-līḍha-loka **. There's one tape, you describe the very first thing when one follows the instructions of a spiritual master is that he's freed from all different kinds of material difficulties. He immediately feels some relief from material existence. First sign of a bona fide spiritual master.
