We should always strive to associate with Krishna through the spiritual master's instructions. This is how we see Krishna in everything. Prabhupada showed us this by his own example. Why do we appreciate Srila Prabhupada so much? It is not because he was a resident of the spiritual world or that he was always talking with Krishna or that he was talking intimately with the gopis, because how would we asssume to have the eyes to see such things in first place? We cannot project our lack of vision on the spiritual world. We don't need to. Srila Prabhupada showed us his greatest glory, something we could see. Anyone with eyes can see that Srila Prabhupada was fully dedicated to following the order of his spiritual master. Prabhupada did not show us the example of looking behind every bush in Vrindavana for Krishna; he taught us to see Krishna in the orders of guru.
