"The Spiritual Master and Krishna are two parallel lines. You have to make your progress on these two parallel lines, you cannot avoid one in preference of the other. The train, on two tracks, moves forward. The Spiritual Master and Krishna are like these two tracks, they must be served simultaneously. Krishna helps one to find a bona fide Spiritual Master, and bonafide Spiritual Master helps one to understand Krishna."
(Srila Prabhupada letter, 12th February, 1968)
