So Śukrācārya was rejected by Bali Mahārāja, Śukrācārya. "No, this family guru, or the jāta-gosāi, no. Real guru." So why rejected? When Śukrācārya was thinking that, "This man Bali is going to give everything to Viṣṇu. Here is Vāmana. Then how I shall live? Because I get something from this man, and I live.

So there are many instances. Bali Mahārāja. Bali Mahārāja, he rejected his spiritual master, "Oh, you are nonsense. You cannot become my spiritual master." Because why? That Śukrācārya, when Bali Mahārāja was going to promise, so Śukrācārya advised, "Don't promise anything. He is Viṣṇu. He has come as dwarf to take everything from you." Then Bali Mahārāja found that, "This is a foolish man." This Śukrācārya . . . Śukrācārya means jāta-gosāi: by semina they become ācārya. The semina. That is the, in India, guru-vaṁśa. Guru-vaṁśa, guru meaning spiritual master, the spiritual master, vaṁśa. That is disciplic succession. Evaṁ paramparā, that is guru-vaṁśa, not by semina. But that is going on. The Śukrācārya, "This is my guru's family." Guru's family . . . "He has begotten a child, so something must be given. His credit is he's begotten child. Therefore something must be given." So this is going on, Śukrācārya.

So Śukrācārya was rejected by Bali Mahārāja, Śukrācārya. "No, this family guru, or the jāta-gosāi, no. Real guru." So why rejected? When Śukrācārya was thinking that, "This man Bali is going to give everything to Viṣṇu. Here is Vāmana. Then how I shall live? Because I get something from this man, and I live. So if he's going to give everything to Viṣṇu, then what is our position? We shall starve." That is their business only, how to exploit the disciple and take money from him and fill up the belly. That is Śukrācārya's business. Therefore Bali Mahārāja rejected, "No, no, I don't want you." So there are many instances. Svajana-tyāga. The gopīs, when they were going to Kṛṣṇa, they, all the svajana, their brother, the husband, their sons and everyone forbade, "Oh, where you are going? Where you are going?" Or the yājñika brāhmaṇas' patnī, they also did not care for Kṛṣṇa.

Therefore the conclusion is that you can be freed from the debts of devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṟṇāṁ nāyam ṛṇī na kiṅkaraḥ (SB 11.5.41). Who? Sarvātmanā ye śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam. One who has taken full shelter of Kṛṣṇa sarvātmanā, without any reservation, he's no more ṛṇī. He's no more. He's fully liquidated.
