Principles of devotional service, Spiritual Master...

Verse 1.8.35 (Krishna Patro Pr):
* Krishna, the SPG is all auspicious. We hear it again and again throughout His pastimes.
* In the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā the Lord asserts that He appears in every millennium just to reestablish the way of religion. The way of religion is made by the Supreme Lord.
* One can be delivered just by chanting the name of the Lord.
* The conditioned souls are bewildered, but the pure devotees are never bewildered by these features of the Lord. Eg: Prahalad Maharaj, Ambarisha Maharaj, Sudama Vipra and now Queen Kunti. At all times these devotees remember the Lord and always thinking of Him.
* Even in so much of miseries, Queen Kunti got strength to withstand it all by Krishna mercy's and is asking Him that these should continue.
* This material world is a place of misery. It is guaranteed. But only one way one can get pleasure is when the living entity places himself in his eternal position of being a servant of the Lord.
* Every step is a misery. Those who are intelligent, they learn from hearing. Still unfortunately, the conditioned soul always thinks that he will make himself happy somehow or other in this material world. This is not possible.
* But at this time, we have so many facilities available for us practise this servitude to the Lord so nicely. We do not know about tomorrow, but today with everything with us (especially the mercy of Lord Sri CM, Srila Prabhupada), it is the best time for us to remove our conditioning.
* The Lord waits for us, always, so that some day we will come back to Him.
* The Lord, however, out of His causeless mercy, because He is more merciful to the suffering living beings than they can expect, appears before them and renovates the principles of devotional service comprised of hearing, chanting, remembering, serving, worshiping, praying, cooperating and surrendering unto Him.
* Especially, the spiritual master, as a representative of the Lord, gives us this mercy. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur tells how we should receive mercy from the spiritual master.
* "there is no qualification that I have". So we should pray to the spiritual master, that he gives us his mercy and only by his mercy, we can go anywhere forward.
