“ ‘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.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
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.
