	So ~~this~~ initiation means by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa ~~though~~ His agent, the spiritual master, you are getting the seed of ''bhakti-latā''. So you have to take care of yourself by the instruction. Not that, "Now I have got a spiritual master and I have got the initiation, my business is finished. Let me do all nonsense." No. This initiation process, we take promise from you that no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no gambling, no intoxication—before the fire. The fire ceremony means fire is also representation of ''yajña-puruṣa,'' and through fire, the ''yajña-puruṣa'' eats, ''puruṣottama''. So there is fire, there is spiritual master, there is ''śāstra'', there is Kṛṣṇa—before . . . they are all witness. Just like before the high-court judge you promise, "Yes, I'll speak . . . whatever I'll speak in this court, it is all truth." So this promise the judge knows, and he gives his judgment on that. Similarly, these promises must be kept; otherwise it will be useless. That is your business, the same thing, ''guru-kṛṣṇa'' . . . that by the mercy of ''guru'', by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, you get the thing. Now to use the thing properly, that will depend on you. ''Guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya bhakti-latā-bīja'' ([[CC Madhya 19.151\|CC Madhya 19.151]]). I can give you very nice thing, but you keep it locked up in your treasury and never use it, then what will you be? ''Mālī haya sei bīja kare āropaṇa''. You have to sow it and pour water, and see that it is nicely growing. ~~This~~ . . . that is very nicely described in ''Rupa-śikṣā, mālī hay sei bīja kare āropaṇa.'' So don't think that after the official ceremony of initiation your business and my business is finished. No. The business begins. It is not the finishing; it is the beginning. So if you don't go farther, ''~~ādau~~ guru-~~āśrayaḥ~~'' . . . the beginning is to take shelter of ''guru''. That is the beginning. And, ''adau guru-āśrayam sad-dharma-pṛcchā'', then the student must be very inquisitive, ''sad-dharma-pṛcchā. Sādhu-mārga-anugamanam''. You'll find all these things, instruction, in the ''Nectar of Devotion.'' They are there.

So there is fire, there is spiritual master, there is ''śāstra'', there is Kṛṣṇa—before... they are all witness. Just like before the high-court judge you promise, "Yes, I'll speak... whatever I'll speak in this court, it is all truth.' So this promise the judge knows, and he gives his judgment on that. Similarly, these promises must be kept; otherwise it will be useless. That is your business, the same thing, ''guru-kṛṣṇa''... that by the mercy of guru, by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, you get the thing. Now to use the thing properly, that will depend on you. ''Guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya bhakti-latā-bīja'' ([[CC Madhya 19.151\|CC Madhya 19.151]]).

So don't think that after the official ceremony of initiation your business and my business is finished. No. The business begins. It is not the finishing; it is the beginning. So if you don't go farther, ādau ''guru-āśrayam''... the beginning is to take shelter of ''guru''. That is the beginning. And, ''adau guru-āśrayam sad-dharma-pṛcchā'', then the student must be very inquisitive, ''sad-dharma-pṛcchā. Sādhu-mārga-anugamanam.'' You'll find all these things, instruction, in the ''Nectar of Devotion''. They are there.

	So today some of you are going to be initiated. This is the beginning of your spiritual life. But if you don't take care for farther development, then that is up to you. You may fall down. Because ''māyā'' is very strong. ''Māyā'' will place so many impediments. She does not like that so easily you go back to home, back to Godhead. That is ''māyā's'' business. ''Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)\|BG 7.14]]). Just like police. Police business is to see the criminal that is actually, he is in his original consciousness to become law-abiding citizen. Otherwise police will go on punishing him. That is police affair. Similarly, this ''māyā'' is the police agent. Her business is to chastise you. Every moment this is going on. ''Ei rūpe brahmāṇḍa brahmite kona bhāgyavān jīva'' ([[CC Madhya 19.151\|CC Madhya 19.151]]).		So today some of you are going to be initiated. This is the beginning of your spiritual life.

If someone is fortunate, they receive a true Guru by the will of Kṛṣṇa. And that Guru connects them to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa connects them to the Guru and the Guru connects them to Kṛṣṇa... Guru-Kṛṣṇa-Kṛpā. Whoever understands this... Look this is a big hassle—taking birth again and then dying. Is there any remedy for this? Bhagavan, please tell us a solution, for those who sincerely pray to the true Bhagavan, He provides them with a good Guru. That is why it is said, Guru-Kṛṣṇa-Kṛpā.

	Both blessings are needed the grace of Bhagavan and the grace of Guru. Only then "...bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate..." taking birth once and again and this cycle of death can be stopped. The seed of devotional vine (bhakti-latā-bīja) and how that devotion vine .. the door to Bhagavad Bhakti.. then Bhagavan says, "...etadyonīni bhūtāni sarvāṇītyupadhāraya. ahaṁ kṛtsnasya..." look, Bhagavan resides everywhere, I ..

We have another God, an incarnation, the bearded God.. that is an incarnation. There is a child incarnation.		Both blessings are needed the grace of Bhagavan and the grace of Guru.

	All these incarnations roam around in a certain way these days. Then why would Bhagavan Kṛṣṇa alone become Bhagavan? (.. side commentary) (He said, right?) When you people can accept Kṛṣṇa, our opinion is different. Bhagavan is different, that’s what they say. These fools do not know who the real Kṛṣṇa is. That’s why Kṛṣṇa himself says, "mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat ..." "paratar".. And beyond me, in a higher position... "nānyat"... there is no one else, there is no one like Bhagavan, and there is no one above Bhagavan, everyone is below.		All these incarnations roam around in a certain way these days.

	So ~~this~~ initiation means by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa ~~though~~ His agent, the spiritual master, you are getting the seed of ''bhakti-latā''. So you have to take care of yourself by the instruction. Not that, "Now I have got a spiritual master and I have got the initiation, my business is finished. Let me do all nonsense." No. This initiation process, we take promise from you that no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no gambling, no intoxication—before the fire. The fire ceremony means fire is also representation of ''yajña-puruṣa,'' and through fire, the ''yajña-puruṣa'' eats, ''puruṣottama''. So there is fire, there is spiritual master, there is ''śāstra'', there is Kṛṣṇa—before . . . they are all witness. Just like before the high-court judge you promise, "Yes, I'll speak . . . whatever I'll speak in this court, it is all truth." So this promise the judge knows, and he gives his judgment on that. Similarly, these promises must be kept; otherwise it will be useless. That is your business, the same thing, ''guru-kṛṣṇa'' . . . that by the mercy of ''guru'', by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, you get the thing. Now to use the thing properly, that will depend on you. ''Guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya bhakti-latā-bīja'' ([[CC Madhya 19.151\|CC Madhya 19.151]]). I can give you very nice thing, but you keep it locked up in your treasury and never use it, then what will you be? ''Mālī haya sei bīja kare āropaṇa''. You have to sow it and pour water, and see that it is nicely growing. ~~This~~ . . . that is very nicely described in ''Rupa-śikṣā, mālī hay sei bīja kare āropaṇa.'' So don't think that after the official ceremony of initiation your business and my business is finished. No. The business begins. It is not the finishing; it is the beginning. So if you don't go farther, ''~~ādau~~ guru-~~āśrayaḥ~~'' . . . the beginning is to take shelter of ''guru''. That is the beginning. And, ''adau guru-āśrayam sad-dharma-pṛcchā'', then the student must be very inquisitive, ''sad-dharma-pṛcchā. Sādhu-mārga-anugamanam''. You'll find all these things, instruction, in the ''Nectar of Devotion.'' They are there.

	So today some of you are going to be initiated. This is the beginning of your spiritual life. But if you don't take care for farther development, then that is up to you. You may fall down. Because ''māyā'' is very strong. ''Māyā'' will place so many impediments. She does not like that so easily you go back to home, back to Godhead. That is ''māyā's'' business. ''Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)\|BG 7.14]]). Just like police. Police business is to see the criminal that is actually, he is in his original consciousness to become law-abiding citizen. Otherwise police will go on punishing him. That is police affair. Similarly, this ''māyā'' is the police agent. Her business is to chastise you. Every moment this is going on. ''Ei rūpe brahmāṇḍa brahmite kona bhāgyavān jīva'' ([[CC Madhya 19.151\|CC Madhya 19.151]]).		So today some of you are going to be initiated. This is the beginning of your spiritual life.
