Srila BR Sridhara Maharaja:

 

That depends on the stages of realization

of the disciple. Exclusive devotion must come from the disciple

towards the guru. It is said in the Svetasvatara Upanisad (6.23):

 

yasya deve para bhaktir

yatha deve tatha gurau

tasyaite kathita hy arthah

prakasante mahatmanah.

 

"The key to success in spiritual life is unflinching devotion to both

the spiritual master and Krsna. To those great souls who have full

faith in both Krsna and the spiritual master, the inner meaning of the

scriptures is fully revealed." The guru is Krsna's representative. We

are in search of divinity, and so, we must try to concentrate all our

energy wherever we find a real connection with divinity. That is the

key to success, because Krsna is all-conscious. So, the response to our

devotional efforts will come from Krsna according to our

attentiveness to Him. He is everywhere. In the conception of infinite,

everywhere there is center, nowhere is there circumference. In every

point there may be the center. Prahlada Maharaja saw the center

present everywhere. Hiranyakasipu asked him, "Is your God in this

pillar?" Prahlada replied, "Yes. He is there." And when Hiranyakasipu

demolished the pillar, Lord Nrsmhadeva came out.

This may sound bad, but sometimes I like Krishna sometimes I don't, but its not in a bad way. Let me think of verse in Gita which describes it.

 

Bg2.14

O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

There is a crumbling pillar in the desert they say.

 

It's called the Crumbling Pillar of God Realization.

 

It's crumbling day by day at least 5 inch.

 

Someday people will say:

 

"Where the hell did that awful pillar go?"

 

Some will answer:

 

"Well, God was inside and now he's gone."

 

Truly they will say so.
