Mahesh Raja, UK Our next spiritual master is he who initiates us into transcendental knowledge, and he is to be worshiped as much as I am. The spiritual master may be more than one. The spiritual master who instructs the disciples about spiritual matters is called siksa-guru, and the spiritual master who initiates the disciple is called diksha-guru. Both of them are My representatives. There may be many spiritual masters who instruct, but the initiator spiritual master is one.
Note:
NON-liberated OFFICIATING ACHARYA can NOT transfer into YOUR heart
Krishna. However DIKSHA requires for Krishna to be TRANSFERED TO YOUR
HEART in order that YOUR RELATIONSHIP (SVARUPA) is REVEALED: this has been explained in detail:
Reply to Nimai Pandit Prabhu and Rochana das
Note: When Krishna is TRANSFERRED FROM Pure devotees (Srila Prabhupada) HEART to another Pure devotee then there is DIKSHA. Divya jnana revelation of one’s CONSTITUTIONAL position Svarupa is UNDERSTOOD. This may take many many many births — NOT so cheap.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.2.18 -
Prayers by the Demigods for Lord Krishna in the Womb
As indicated here by the word manastah,
the Supreme Personality of Godhead was TRANSFERRED from the core of
Vasudeva’s mind or heart to the core of the heart of Devaki. We should
note carefully that the Lord was transferred to Devaki not by the
ordinary way for a human being, BUT BY DIKSHA, INITIATION. THUS THE
IMPORTANCE OF INITIATION IS MENTIONED HERE. UNLESS ONE IS INITIATED BY
THE RIGHT PERSON, WHO ALWAYS CARRIES WITHIN HIS HEART THE SUPREME
PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD, ONE CANNOT ACQUIRE THE POWER TO CARRY THE
SUPREME GODHEAD WITHIN THE CORE OF ONE’S OWN HEART.
Divya-jnana means : Divya TRANSCENDENTAL and Jnana means KNOWLEDGE
So UNLESS one is on TRANSCENDENTAL PLATFORM means Uttama Adhikari (Maha Bhagavata)
there can NOT be any question of Transcendental Knowledge of one’s
CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION coming FROM him. THIS EFFECTIVLY DISQUALIFIES KANISTHA AND MADHYAM (MIDDLE STAGE) FROM GIVING DIKSHA — AUTOMATICALLY.
Hrde means heart and Prokasito means revealed just as in prakasa – manifested Krishna becomes manifest in the heart of the Pure Devotee.
Lectures, July 11, 1976, New York
Prabhupada: Divya-jnana hrde prokasito. What is that divya-jnana? Divya-jnana is that we are all servant of Krishna, and our only business is to serve Krishna. This is divya-jnana.
It is not difficult at all. We have become servant of so many
things--servant of society, servant of community, servant of country,
servant of wife, servant of children, servant of dog and so many. “Now
let me become servant of Krishna.” This is divya-jnana. Diksha. Diksha means from this divya-jnana. That is di. And ksa means ksapayati, expands.
When at the stage of Madhyama Adhikari one is RECIPIENT of
THAT Diksha in the HEART from SRILA PRABHUPADA he becomes a SERVANT OF
KRISHNA. He relishes a particular mellow (Rasa) of his relationship with Krishna. This point HE SEES KRISHNA and HIS RELATIONSHIP (svarupa) is established. So it is not so CHEAP to be Diksha guru.
Madhya 8.83 - Talks Between Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya
The purport in presenting this verse necessitates explaining the comparative positions of the transcendental mellows known as SANTA, DASYA, SAKHYA, VATSALYA AND MADHURYA. All these rasas,
or mellows, are situated on the TRANSCENDENTAL PLATFORM. Pure devotees
take shelter of one of them and thus progress in spiritual life.
ACTUALLY ONE CAN TAKE SHELTER OF SUCH SPIRITUAL MELLOWS ONLY WHEN ONE IS
COMPLETELY UNCONTAMINATED BY MATERIAL ATTACHMENT. WHEN ONE IS
COMPLETELY FREE FROM MATERIAL ATTACHMENT, THE FEELINGS OF THE
TRANSCENDENTAL MELLOWS ARE AWAKENED IN THE HEART OF THE DEVOTEE. THAT IS
SVARUPA-SIDDHI, THE PERFECTION OF ONE’S ETERNAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SUPREME LORD. Svarupa-siddhi, the eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord, may be situated in one of the transcendental mellows.
