Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada Says – [Regarding whether you have seen guru or not if you follow his words then you can get `guru kripa']
Prabhupada: You have to associate with both. Guru-krpa-krpaya paya bhakti-lata-bija [Cc. Madhya 19.151]. Both guru's krpa and Krsna's krpa, they must be joined. Then you will get. [break]
Jayadvaita: We're very eager to get that guru-krpa.
Prabhupada: Who?
Jayadaita: We are, all of us.
Prabhupada: Yes. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah **. If you get guru's krpa, then automatically you get Krsna.
Narayana: Guru-krpa only comes by pleasing the spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada?
Prabhupada: Otherwise how?
Narayana: Excuse me?
Prabhupada: Otherwise how it can come?
Narayana: So those disciples who don't have opportunity to see you or speak with you...
Prabhupada: That he was speaking, vani and vapu. Even if you don't see his body, you take his word, vani.
Narayana: But how do they know they're pleasing you, Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupada: If you actually follow the words of guru, that means he is pleased. And if you do not follow, how he can be pleased?
Sudama: Not only that, but your mercy is spread everywhere, and if we take advantage, you told us once, then we will feel the result.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Jayadvaita: And if we have faith in what the guru says, then automatically we'll do that.
Prabhupada: Yes. My Guru Maharaja passed in 1936, and I started this movement in 1965, thirty years after. Then? I am getting the mercy of guru. This is vani. Even the guru is not physically present, if you follow the vani, then you are getting help.
Sudama: So there's no question of ever separation as long as the disciple follows the instruction of guru.
Prabhupada: No. Cakhu-din dilo jei... What is that, next one?
Sudama: Cakhu-din dilo jei, janme janme prabhu sei.
Prabhupada: Janme janme prabhu sei. So where there is separation? Who has opened your eyes, he is birth after birth your prabhu.
Paramahamsa: You never feel any intense separation from your spiritual master?
Prabhupada: That you do not require to question. (end)
