On must approach a spiritual master! In this age
of Kali the living entities are so fallen that they can’t distinguish
between spirit and matter, reality or illusion, beneficial or
unbeneficial, what to speak of recognizing the spiritual master, the
bona fide representative of the Supreme Lord.

“Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The selfrealized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.”(Bhagava Gita 4.34) Arjuna approaches Krishna and accepts him as his spiritual master, and learns the Gita from him within one, one and half hour. Krishna being parama koruna, supreme merciful, and knowing that we are not of the quality of Arjuna, has given His Grace.
Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet / samit- panih srotriyam bhrama-nistham

"In order to learn the transcendental science, one must approach the
bona fide spiritual master in disciplic succession, who is fixed in the
Absolute truth." (Mukunda Upanishad 1.2.12)
In previous Yugas approaching a spiritual master was required, however in this Yuga Krishna sends this spiritual master to us. That is Krishna’s supreme mercy, His Divine Grace. No longer we have to be qualified, no, the spiritual master is sent by Krishna. "I want you to go to the earth and write books, approach these fallen souls, in every town and village, and give the holy name, the prime benediction for humanity at large."
Yasya prasadad, bhagavad prasado, by the mercy of Krishna one gets Guru. So Krishna sends His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to us, those who no longer can recognize what is a Guru. He comes in person, by his books, his instructions, his temples, Ratha yatra, recordings, videos, and his followers. The Guru has already come, but most failed to recognize him and are been encouraged to seek further.
In Kali yuga His Divine Grace approaches us, such great fortune is unparalleled in the entire creation!!!
Just see Prabhupada approaching on the Ratha Chariot in every town and village. Jaya Srila Prabhupada, may the world wake up to see your purity.
