Spiritual Master, Guru Maharaj!

Verse 1.5.21: The importance of accepting instructions from a Spiritual Master is highlighted here. Even The Lord, when He incarnates accepts a spiritual master, just to show its importance. Lord Ramachandra accepted Vasista Muni, Lord Krishna accepted Sandipani Muni, and later Vyasadev Himself, who is the literary incarnation of Krishna accepted Srila Narada Muni as his spiritual master.

Qualifications of a Spiritual Master:
- He should be in a disciplic succession
- He should be realized person
- ...

One should accept and serve the Spiritual Master. Pleasing the spiritual master should be the goal of one's life. That is done by serving him in any way possible.
