by Anuradha Devi Dasi
"When one is sincere, then Krishna is sitting within everyone. As soon as He sees that 'Here is a sincere soul. He’s seeking after Me,' so He manifests Himself out externally as spiritual master. The spiritual master is therefore representative of Krishna."
(Srila Prabhupada lecture, April 10, 1969)
