Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya
bhagavad-bhakti-hinasya
jatih sastram japas tapah
apranasyaiva dehasya
mandanam loka-rañjanam
Without devotion to the Lord, good birth, knowledge of scripture, chanting mantras, and doing austerities are like decorating a dead body to please the common people.
Hari-bhakti-vilasa
prathaman tu gurum pujya
tatas caiva mamarcanam
kurvan siddhim avapnoti
hy anyatha nisphalam bhavet
Sri Krsna says: "A devoteee who worships the guru first and then worships Me attains perfection. It is fruitless to worship Me alone."
