Spiritual master is the official collector. Just like in government there is collector. He receives the money, taxes, from the citizens, not for his personal use but for the government. Similarly, this is the Vedic system, to receive knowledge through the transparent medium, guru.

So I thank you very much for your kind reception. It is necessary.

:''sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair''
:''uktas tathā bhāvyata eva sadbhiḥ''
:''kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya''
:''vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam''

This is the process, Vedic process, to receive the transcendental knowledge through the ''paramparā'' system, and the reception or honor given to the spiritual master, it goes to Kṛṣṇa. Spiritual master is the official collector. Just like in government there is collector. He receives the money, taxes, from the citizens, not for his personal use but for the government. Similarly, this is the Vedic system, to receive knowledge through the transparent medium, ''guru'', and to receive . . . ''guru'' means the honor goes to Kṛṣṇa. So this is necessary. This is not an artificial thing, but spiritually it is necessary. Therefore we hold Vyāsa-pūjā day.

So I am very glad to see that you are maintaining the temple standard as good as I saw when I left. That is my satisfaction. And keep this, I mean to say, situation, atmosphere, always, and follow the regulative principles, chant sixteen rounds, you'll remain always happy. Because although we are in Los Angeles, we have nothing to do with the material atmosphere of Los Angeles. Therefore a devotee who lives with Kṛṣṇa or in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he does not live in the material world. He always live in the spiritual world. That is confirmed in the ''Bhagavad-gītā. Māṁ cāvyabhicāriṇi-bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate'', "Anyone who is engaged in ''bhakti-yoga'' with Kṛṣṇa," ''sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate'' ([[vanisource:BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]]), "such person is always above these material modes of nature."
