Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
…The transcendental system of devotional service is also free. It may or may not develop in a particular person even after he undergoes all the detailed formulas. Similarly, theassociation of the devotee is also free. One may be fortunate to have it, or one may not have it even after thousands of endeavors. Therefore, in all spheres of devotional service,freedom is the main pivot. Without freedom there is noexecution of devotional service. The freedom surrendered to the Lord does not mean that the devotee becomes dependent in every respect. To surrender unto the Lord through thetransparent medium of the spiritual master is to attaincomplete freedom of life.
- Srimad Bhagavatam.1.6.37
