When a disciple becomes perfect in spiritual advancement, the spiritual master feels very, very happy, that "I am a nonsense, but this boy, he has followed my instruction and he has achieved the success. That is my success." This is the spiritual master's ambition. Just like a father.

Gurukṛpa: ''Tapasya . . . tapasya brahmacārī'' . . .

Prabhupāda: Ah. ''Tapasā brahmacaryeṇa tyāgena śamena damena'' . . . ([[vanisource:SB 6.1.13-14|SB 6.1.13]]). These are the process of pious activities. But who is going? It is very difficult. Therefore this ''nāma-saṅkīrtana'', if we offenselessly perform ''nāma-saṅkīrtana'', everything is done.

So Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu presented Himself as a fool number one before His Guru Mahārāja. He advised that, "It will be difficult for You to study ''Vedānta-sūtra'' or practice ''tapasya, brahmacarya, śama, dama, titikṣa, tyāgena, śamena, damena, niyamena, yamena'' . . ." It is possible for a human being, but in this Kali-yuga all these functions, to do is difficult. Therefore this process is recommended: ''vāsudeva-parāyaṇa, bhakti-yogena, nīhāraḥ. Nīhāram iva bhāskaraḥ'' ([[vanisource:SB 6.1.15|SB 6.1.15]]). Just like the . . . there is mist, fog, and as soon as the sun rises there, all fog is immediately disseminated. Otherwise, it requires so much arrangement. Your railway train cannot move. The ships in the sea, they cannot move. It is very difficult position. Similarly, our sinful activities has covered our heart just like a fog. We cannot see anything. But by ''bhakti-yoga'' it can be immediately dissipated. So Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was thus advised by His spiritual master to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and He got perfection. That was explained by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. So His spiritual master congratulated Him like this, that:

:''bhāla haila, pāile tumi parama-puruṣārtha''
:''tomāra premete āmi hailāṅ kṛtārtha''
:([[vanisource:CC  Adi 7.91|CC Adi 7.91]])

When a disciple becomes perfect in spiritual advancement, the spiritual master feels very, very happy that, "I am a nonsense, but this boy, he has followed my instruction and he has achieved the success. That is my success." This is the spiritual master's ambition. Just like a father. This is the relationship. Just like . . . nobody wants to see anybody more advanced than himself. That is the nature. Matsarata. If anybody becomes advanced in any subject matter, then I become envious upon him. But the spiritual master or the father, he does not become envious. He feels himself very, very happy, that "This boy has advanced more than me." This is spiritual master's position. So Kṛṣṇa . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu expresses, He . . . (indistinct) . . . that, "By . . . when I chant and dance and cry in ecstasy, so My spiritual master thanks Me this way, ''bhāla haila'', 'It is very, very good.' " ''Pāile tumi parama-puruṣārtha'': " 'Now You have achieved the highest success in life.' " ''Tomāra premete'': " 'Because You have advanced so much, ''āmi hailāṅ kṛtārtha'', I am feeling so much obliged.' " This is the position.
