SB 2.9.8 (KP Prji):
* Here, we see Lord Brahma underwent penances for 1000 years by the calculations of the demigods
* Lord Brahma perfected himself by following the instructions of the spiritual master
* 6 months in our time is 1 day of the demigods, which implies 1 demigod years = 6*30*12*1000 our years
* The best way of understanding is to accept such divine instruction, and Brahmā, the prime spiritual master of
everyone, is the living example of this process of receiving transcendental knowledge
* The potency of transcendental sound is never minimized because the vibrator is apparently absent. Therefore Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam or Bhagavad-gītā or any revealed scripture in the world is never to be accepted as an ordinary mundane sound without transcendental potency
* Just because the person is not manifest in front of our eyes, we should not think that the Lord does not exist
* This applies to acharyas too. SP also said that he will always remain through his instructions and his instructions are in his books
* One has to receive the transcendental sound from the right source, accept it as a reality and prosecute the
direction without hesitation. The secret of success is to receive the sound from the right source of a bona fide
spiritual master
* Potency of the mantra received from a bona fide spiritual master is very important
* The same mantra got from just some person, comes to be known simply as mundane sound
* The disciple, however, must be ready to execute the order of the bona fide spiritual master as Lord Brahmā executed the instruction of his spiritual master, the Lord Himself. Following the order of the bona fide spiritual master is
the only duty of the disciple, and this completely faithful execution of the order of the bona fide spiritual master
is the secret of success
* Lord Brahmā controlled his two grades of senses by means of sense perception and sense organs because he had to engage such senses in the execution of the order of the Lord. Therefore controlling the senses means engaging them in the transcendental service of the Lord
