"...The spiritual master is acting in the position of Krishna because he is the most confidential servant of Krishna. Your next question, after leaving this material realm does the devotee remain forever with his spiritual master? The answer is yes.
But I think you have got the mistaken idea in this connection. You speak of pure devotee, that he is saktyavesa avatara, that we should obey him only—these things are the wrong idea.
If anyone thinks like that, that a pure devotee should be obeyed and no one else, that means he is a nonsense.
We advise everyone to address one another as Prabhu. Prabhu means master, so how the master should be disobeyed?
Others, they are also pure devotees. All of my disciples are pure devotees.
Anyone sincerely serving the spiritual master is a pure devotee, it may be Siddhasvarupa or others, a-Siddhasvarupa. This must be very clearly stated.
It is not only that your Siddhasvarupa is a pure devotee and not others. Do not try to make a faction. Siddhasvarupa is a good soul. But others should not be misled.
Anyone who is surrendered to the spiritual master is a pure devotee, it doesn't matter if Siddhasvarupa or non-Siddhasvarupa.
Amongst ourselves one should respect others as Prabhu, master, one another. As soon as we distinguish here is a pure devotee, here is a non-pure devotee, that means I am a nonsense."
"My dear Tusta Krishna, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letters dated November 18, November 22, and December 3, 1972, and I have heard that you are having some difficulties, so I have sent Siddhasvarupa there to help you...." etc as above..
