(Hindi) (break) It is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gītā, tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena ([[Vanisource:BG 4.34|BG 4.34]]). Paripraśna is required, but after praṇipāta.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Surrendering yourself. In school also they say if you develop a sort of a liking for your teacher, a sort of a reverence is developed in you, and then you get knowledge much quicker.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: If you take your teacher to be a servant of yours, then you won't...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is Vedic principle. Yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau (ŚU 6.23). Then he'll get knowledge. Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: That is why guru brahma gurur viṣṇur guruḥ sākṣād maheśvaraḥ.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is fact. Sākṣād dharitvena samasta-śāstraiḥ. Caitanya Mahāprabhu also says, guru-kṛṣṇa-krpā: "By the mercy of guru and Kṛṣṇa."</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Guru is a go-between God and we ourselves.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, via media, via media.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: He holds your hand and gives that hand to God. That is guru. That is what I think. Am I right in a way?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Transparent medium. (break)</p>
