Srila Prabhupad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati

To simply depend on Krishna's mercy while remaining inclined toward His service under the spiritual master's guidance is the path of back to Godhead. The Srimad-Bhagavatam verse that begins tat te 'nu kampam proves this. The path back to Godhead is made possible by serving the transparent spiritual master. The path of pure devotional service is the path back to Godhead.
