Text Process of accepting a Guru. The science of Absolute Truth.

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. 1.Path of Self Realization is very difficult. 2.No one can be a bona fide spiritual master without following this principle of disciplic succession. 3.No one can be spiritually realized by manufacturing his own process. 4.Thus one must approach a Guru.

Once understood that Guru is bonafide, no reservation in accepting knowldege. This is not blind following. 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.

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.
