  1. Bhagavad Gita As It Is Chapter 4 Transcendental Knowledge. Text 34-35 Process of accepting a Guru. The science of Absolute Truth.

  2. Text 34 • Path of Self Realization is very difficult. • No one can be a bona fide spiritual master without following this principle of disciplic succession. • No one can be spiritually realized by manufacturing his own process. • Thus one must approach a Guru. tad viddhi praëipätena paripraçnena sevayä upadekñyanti te jïänaà jïäninas tattva-darçinaù Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.

  3. Process of surrendering unto a Guru. Surrender; Once understood that Guru is bonafide, no reservation in accepting knowldege. This is not blind following. Enquiries coupled with service; Not only should one hear submissively from the spiritual master, but one must also get a clear understanding from him, in submission and service and inquiries.

  4. Text 35 yaj jïätvä na punar moham evaà yäsyasi päëòava yena bhütäny açeñäëi drakñyasy ätmany atho mayi Having obtained real knowledge from a self-realized soul, you will never fall again into such illusion, for by this knowledge you will see that all living beings are but part of the Supreme, or, in other words, that they are Mine. One learns the complete science of Absolute truth from bonafide spiritual master. Complete science means to understand all living beings as part of Supreme. Mayavada theory incomplete or improper understanding.

  5. Science of Absolute truth. oà pürëam adaù pürëam idaà pürëät pürëam udacyate pürëasya pürëam ädäya pürëam evävaçiñyate The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

  6. Transcendental Knowledge of self realization. • A living being, as Kåñëa's eternal servitor, cannot be separated from Kåñëa, and his sense of being an identity apart from Kåñëa is called mäyä. • Perfect knowledge is that the Supreme Soul, Kåñëa, is the supreme shelter for all living entities, and giving up such shelter, the living entities are deluded by the material energy, imagining themselves to have a separate identity. • muktir hitvänyathä-rüpaà svarüpeëa vyavasthitiù. Liberation means to be situated in one's constitutional position as an eternal servitor of Kåñëa (Kåñëa consciousness). This knowledge possible by mercy of Guru
