(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Durban, 03/04/2010)
Question: Should one seek a spiritual master or does the relationship manifest naturally by Krsna’s mercy?
Maharaja: Yes, by the mercy of Krsna one gets guru, and by the mercy of guru one gets Krsna, but it doesn’t harm to go looking. Sometimes the guru is right under our nose and still we don’t see him, because maybe we have to open our eyes! If you have your eyes closed, and are asleep, you might not see.
