"Only when effort (sadhana) and grace (krpa) are united is it possible to achieve perfection. “Sri guroh krpa hi kevalam.” Without grace, the practitioner – the sadhaka or sadhika –cannot gain knowledge of the truth (tattva-jnana). Sri guru is the captain taking us across the ocean of material existence and the human form of life is the root or foundation for spiritual practice. To obtain the rarity of birth as a human but to be averse to worshiping Krsna is the ultimate form of ruin and misfortune. When, in due course, the jiva becomes conscious of his true duty while remaining in good association, then and only then does the desire to engage in bhajana become strong in his heart and compel him forward on the path of sadhana. On this path, a bona fide guru is the only refuge (asraya) because only the asraya-vigraha can direct him in serving thevisaya-vigraha and show him the path."
