Associating With The Supreme Lord Directly
To associate with the holy name and chant the holy name is to associate with the Personality of Godhead directly.
Supervision of All Activities
Everything is done by the supervision of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The Role of The Spiritual Master
The human form of body is a most valuable boat, and the spiritual master is the captain, to guide the boat in plying across the ocean of nescience.
Godhead and Nescience
Godhead is light. Nescience is darkness. Where there is Godhead there is no nescience.
