*(Referring to the concluding words of Srila Prabhupada in Caitanya Caritamrta)
At one point Srila Prabhupada is speaking how not only the Lord is within the heart but also the spiritual master is within the heart. We think, “The spiritual master is within the heart? Well, as the super-soul, isn’t it? Because we’ve heard the spiritual master is the external manifestation of the super soul…” No, Srila Prabhupada writes in the concluding words to the Cc: the spiritual master is directly within the heart because Krsna is within the heart and Krsna is never alone; Krsna is always with all His associates. So Krsna, when He’s in our hearts, He’s there with all His associates and even with our spiritual master. So they’re all there present in our heart…
