CHAPTER 04
GURU AND KRISHNA
Whenever the world is in mess, Krishna appears to make
it right
Lesson-04
HOW DO I KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT KRISHNA, ABOUT
BHAKTI, ABOUT MYSELF, ABOUT MY DUTY AND ABOUT
EVERYTHING?
Krishna instructs Arjuna to learn the truth by
submissively approachinga spiritual master. No one can
be a real spiritual master without following this principle
of disciplic succession. Lord Krishna is the original
spiritual master, and a person in the disciplic succession
can convey the message of the Lord as it is to his disciple.
No one can know the truth by manufacturing his own
process, as is the fashion in today’s world.
There is a nice story regarding the importance of selecting
a rightspiritual master or guru.
Select the right guru

2. One blind man was trying to find his way to his father in
law's house. He was supposed to be married. So he was
going to his father in law's house to meet his family and
bride to be. But because he was blind, he got lost. He
followed the road but became unsure of what direction to
take. So he heard from the field the mooing of cows and
he heard some flute being played. There was a cowherd
boy there. So he called out, "Cowherd boy, I am trying to
find the house of such and such man. Can you give me
direction?Maybe you can lead me." The cowherd boy
said, "I'm sorry, I'm herding these cows. But I tell you
what, the calf of one of these cows is at the very address
you are seeking. So this cow will go there automaticallyif
I let her go from the herd. You just take her tail. There,"
and he put the tail in the man's hand. Immediately the cow
began to run, dragging the poor blind man behind him.
And because the cow didn't like this man hanging off her
tail, she ran over the roughest ground she could find, ran
through thorns, over brambles, through thickets and every
once in a while when gave the man a good kick in the
head just for good measure. He still didn't let go. By the
time he reached the father in law's house he was
completelystripped of all clothes. He was covered with
blood and mucus, big lumps on his head. He was
completelydisheveled and staggering, moaning and
groaning in pain. It so happened that the choukidar
(guard) was standing in front of the father in law's house,
and he saw this sight, a cow running madly and one naked

3. man being dragged behind the tail. The choukidar took his
stick. "Rascal cow thief!" And gave him a sound beating,
breaking his bones. This was his welcome.
MORAL: This is a storytold by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Sarasvati Thakur to illustratethat one must have guru.
One cannot take garu (cow) as one's spiritualmaster,
which the ordinarymen do. The problemis, that even if
one arrives at the rightdestination(Krishna
consciousness)if one has not taken a real guru, then he
will not be recognized.
