SB Canto 4
Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura advises everyone to stick to the principle of carrying out the orders of the spiritual master.
- guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete kariyā aikya,
- āra nā kariha mane āśā **
Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura advises everyone to stick to the principle of carrying out the orders of the spiritual master. One should not desire anything else. If the regulative principles ordered by the spiritual master are followed rigidly, the mind will gradually be trained to desire nothing but the service of Kṛṣṇa. Such training is the perfection of life.
SB Canto 8
Especially for spiritual advancement, one should carry out the bona fide order of the spiritual master.
SB 8.15.28, Purport: We sing in our daily prayers, yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi **. By the pleasure of the spiritual master, one can get extraordinary power, especially in spiritual advancement. The blessings of the spiritual master are more powerful than one's personal endeavor for such advancement. Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura therefore says:
- guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete kariyā aikya,
- āra nā kariha mane āśā **
Especially for spiritual advancement, one should carry out the bona fide order of the spiritual master. By the paramparā system, one can thus be endowed with the original spiritual power coming from the Supreme Personality of Godhead (evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ [Bg. 4.2]).
