Gour Govinda Maharaja guides us through the method of properly inquiring from a self-realized soul.

Spiritual knowledge is revealed, not learned. To become fit for revelation requires a change of consciousness, including the removal of  false ego. This practical book is a manual for beginners and the advanced, for at every step we are dependent on the mercy of Krishna and the spiritual master.

This book is taken from lectures on the guru-disciple relationship, exploring the topic of approaching guru: What is the sat-sampradaya? What is a real guru? What are cheating gurus? What are the benefits of hearing directly from a person as compared to hearing recordings? Includes glossary and elaborate verse index and index of topics.
