Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bonafide spiritual master by the grace of Krishna. By the mercy of both Krishna and the spiritual masters, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.
The Lord can be served by any ingredient, even the most common commodity — a flower, a leaf, a fruit or a little water, which are available in any part of the universe and without cost and thus the Lord is served universally by the universal entities.
Srimad Bhagavatam 2.9.36,
Srila Prabhupada

Books are the basis of our Movement. Without our books, our preaching will have no effect.
Krishna is the knower of everything because He does not see outside in but inside out. Gopinathji sees the Motivations, Intentions & Aspiration within our heart.
Inquiries and submission constitute the proper combination for spiritual understanding.
Bhagavad Gita 4.34,
Srila Prabhupada
