Spiritual master is representative of God; similarly, king is also representative of God. The father is also representative of God. These are the statements of the sastras.
Because they will guide. The king will guide. The spiritual master will guide. The father will guide.
What is that guidance?
That guidance is how one can become Krishna conscious by education, by culture.
- Mayapur, June 15, 1973.

A spiritual master is always liberated. In any condition of His life. He should not be mistaken as ordinary human being.
This position of a spiritual master is achieved by three processes: Sadhana siddha – one who is liberated by executing the regulative principle of devotional service;
Kripa siddha – one who is liberated by the mercy of Krishna or His devotee;
Nitya siddha – one who is never forgetful of Krishna throughout his whole life.
These are the three features of the perfection of life.
- Letter to Tamala Krishna, June 21, 1970.

Horse is controlled by the mouth. Therefore you have seen the harnesses are fixed in the mouth, the driver controls the mouth, and the horse goes. So Krishna was a boy. How did He know that, “This demon Kesi has come in the shape of a horse? If I have to control him, I will have to control his mouth.” So He pushed His hand within the mouth of the horse, and the horse felt it was just like a hot iron bar, so he died.
Similarly, when Krishna fought with Aristasura, He knew that to control the bull you have to control the horns. So He took up the horns and killed him.
This is svabhaviki, natural. He knows everything.
- Mayapur, June 17, 1973.

If you take one cent from somebody else without doing something good to him or without exchanging something, then you are a debtor, and you have to pay him with interest and compound interest.
That is the law of karma.
