You do this. You just go to this man, and he\u2019ll give you good counsel.\u201d He\u2019ll give you direction. Therefore, first mercy is of Krishna, and then the spiritual master is considered as the mercy-representation     of Krishna. Krishna helps us from within and without. From within He\u2019s helping us as the Supersoul, and from without, He\u2019s helping us as the spiritual master.<\/p>\n<p>So, Krishna is ready to help us in all ways, always, in all perfectional stages, if we are simply sincere.<em> Para bhakti<\/em>. <em>Yasya deve para bhaktih<\/em>. If you have got transcendental devotional mood, then everything will come. It does not depend     on linguistic advancement or academic . . . Simply we have to develop our transcendental love and devotional service to the Supreme Lord, and then gradually He\u2019ll give me direction. He\u2019ll give me right direction.
