Pure Devotion Pleases the Spiritual Master
“ ‘It is very good, my dear child, that You have attained the supreme goal of life by developing love of Godhead. Thus You have pleased me very much, and I am very much obliged to You.
What the purport teaches
- Developing love of Godhead is the supreme goal of life. A spiritual master’s mission is fulfilled if even one soul becomes a perfectly pure devotee.
- By the grace of Lord Caitanya and the spiritual master, a disciple can attain pure devotional service. This makes the spiritual master very happy.
- The spiritual master’s real happiness does not come from a disciple bringing money. He is pleased to see the disciple following the regulative principles and advancing in spiritual life.
