Just like by force, so many people is posted on the king's position, but after five years, ten years, again he's a common man. So similarly, all this material acquisition, they have no permanent value. Therefore those who are actually learned, they don't give any importance to this material acquisition.
So Sanātana prabhu is, by his personal behavior, he's presenting himself that, "People say that I am very learned, but actually I am not learned." This should be the position. Jijñāsuḥ śreya uttama (SB 11.3.21).
Now, "Because I am not learned, and very kindly You have delivered me from the māyā of illusion, kindly now let me know what is my duty." This is the position one should present himself to the spiritual master, not that . . . we have to first of all select spiritual master. The selection is required. Because as soon as you accept one spiritual master, you cannot say that "I don't agree with you." No. That you cannot say. Then it is useless, simply waste of time.
First of all you have to select a person who is actually representative, just like Sanātana Gosvāmī is representative of, I mean to say, Lord Caitanya. Just like Arjuna is representative of Kṛṣṇa. Because he's directly receiving instruction from Kṛṣṇa, and he's assimilating, therefore he is representative. So this is the paramparā system. So we have to select a person who is actually representative of the Supreme. Then we have to surrender, and then we can . . . of course, before something if we are . . . do not understand we must put our question, then the procedure is nice.
