October 29, 1976 : Vrindavan

Hari Sauri: Today Prabhupada was telling me about faith - faith in the spiritual master. He said, "If one does not follow the spiritual master's instructions, then it means he does not have faith. If he displeases or offends the spiritual master, then he will fall down. Faith means practical faith - action. Faith means practical first. Without service to the spiritual master, there is no question of advancement."

And he repeated his example of the dog, "Just like the dog. Dog is the lowest of animals - actually there is none lower than a dog. But still the dog has one good quality - faithfulness. If one does not become faithful, then he is less than a dog. Therefore there is no compassion for such persons."
