In the search for Absolute Truth, Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that one cannot rely on the imperfect senses or the changing feelings of the mind. Instead, one must seek out the most authorized path, which is defined by its origin in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. A path is considered authorized when it is supported by the three pillars of spiritual certainty: ''guru'' (the spiritual master), ''śāstra'' (the scriptures), and ''sādhu'' (the saintly predecessors). By following this authorized system, the devotee avoids the pitfalls of manufactured religion and attains the sure result of God realization.

<div class="toc-right">__TOC__</div>

=== Kṛṣṇa and the Authority of Bhagavad-gītā ===

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that Kṛṣṇa is the most authorized personality because He is the source of all knowledge. Therefore, the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is recognized as the most authorized scripture in the ''Vedic'' literature. Unlike books written by ordinary men, which are subject to error, the ''Gītā'' is ''apauruṣeya'', meaning it is spoken directly by the Supreme Person. This makes its instructions, especially the final call to surrender unto Kṛṣṇa, the most scientific and authorized conclusion for anyone seeking the perfection of ''yoga'' and spiritual life.

* [[Vaniquotes:Bhagavad-gita is the most authorized scripture in the Vedic literature. Vedic literature means it is not spoken by any ordinary human being. Apauresaya means this literature, Vedic literature, is spoken directly by the Supreme Person or Lord|Bhagavad-gita is the most authorized scripture in the Vedic literature. Vedic literature means it is not spoken by any ordinary human being. Apauresaya means this literature, Vedic literature, is spoken directly by the Supreme Person or Lord.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:This is the last instruction of Bhagavad-gita (to give up all engagements and unto surrender to God), the most authorized and widely read book on all varieties of yoga. Thus the last word of Bhagavad-gita is the last word in the perfection of yoga|This is the last instruction of Bhagavad-gita (to give up all engagements and unto surrender to God), the most authorized and widely read book on all varieties of yoga. Thus the last word of Bhagavad-gita is the last word in the perfection of yoga.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:So here Krsna is the most authorized personality. Now, anyone who is actually Krsna conscious, Krsna conscious, then you can accept him as the same as Krsna. Because a person who is fully in Krsna consciousness, he is the bona fide representative of Krsna|So here Krsna is the most authorized personality. Now, anyone who is actually Krsna conscious, then you can accept him as the same as Krsna. Because a person who is fully in Krsna consciousness, he is the bona fide representative of Krsna.]]

=== The Chain of Disciplic Succession ===

The method of receiving authorized knowledge is through ''guru-paramparā'', or the disciplic succession. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that even if one has a "feeling" about spiritual truth, that feeling may be wrong due to human imperfection. The authorized process is to hear the science of Kṛṣṇa from a bona fide representative who repeats the message exactly as it was spoken by the Lord. This ensures that the movement remains scientific and is not a "bluff" meant to mislead the public. By following most authorized ''ācāryas'' like Jīva Gosvāmī, the devotee stays on the path of truth.

* [[Vaniquotes:The first business is hearing. Tad-vijnanartham. Vijnanartham. If you want to know some science, you must hear from the authorized person. Similarly our process is to hear from Krsna, the most authorized person|The first business is hearing. Tad-vijnanartham. Vijnanartham. If you want to know some science, you must hear from the authorized person. Similarly our process is to hear from Krsna, the most authorized person.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:Feel, you may wrongly feel because you are imperfect. That is not good argument. Our argument is that the message is coming from the most authorized personality; therefore it is perfect. And we receive guru-parampara. That is our process|Feel, you may wrongly feel because you are imperfect. That is not good argument. Our argument is that the message is coming from the most authorized personality; therefore it is perfect. And we receive guru-parampara. That is our process.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:The actual truth of religion is very confidential. How can I know it? You just try to follow mahajana. Never mind if you follow Jesus Christ, you follow Krsna - but you follow the most authorized personality. That is wanted|The actual truth of religion is very confidential. How can I know it? You just try to follow mahajana. Never mind if you follow Jesus Christ, you follow Krsna - but you follow the most authorized personality. That is wanted.]]

=== Lord Caitanya's Authorized Saṅkīrtana Movement ===

Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself appearing in the role of a devotee to teach the world how to love God. Consequently, Śrīla Prabhupāda asserts that His process of ''Saṅkīrtana'' is the most authorized and practical for the modern age. This movement is not a local or sectarian phenomenon; it is a scientific agitation based on the principles of ''Bhagavad-gītā'' and affirmed by all the great ''ācāryas''. It is the only hope to save the human society from devastation by invoking the dormant God consciousness in every living being.

* [[Vaniquotes:He (Lord Caitanya) is Krsna Himself, and He is teaching how to love Krsna. Therefore His process is most authorized. Just like you are the expert in this establishment. If you personally teach somebody, "Do like this," that is very authorized|He (Lord Caitanya) is Krsna Himself, and He is teaching how to love Krsna. Therefore His process is most authorized. Just like you are the expert in this establishment. If you personally teach somebody, "Do like this," that is very authorized.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:Our movement is not any local movement. It is for the total human society. It is most authorized on the principles of Bhagavad-gita and affirmed by Lord Caitanya and all the big acaryas|Our movement is not any local movement. It is for the total human society. It is most authorized on the principles of Bhagavad-gita and affirmed by Lord Caitanya and all the big acaryas.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:The Krsna consciousness movement is the only hope to save the world from such devastation. It is the most scientific and authorized movement for the actual welfare of the whole human society|The Krsna consciousness movement is the only hope to save the world from such devastation. It is the most scientific and authorized movement for the actual welfare of the whole human society.]]

=== Authorized Codes for Devotional Service ===

To approach the Supreme Lord, one must follow specific rules and regulations rather than dry philosophical speculation. Śrīla Prabhupāda mentions that the ''Pañcarātrika'' system contains the most authorized codes for transcendental devotional service. These codes act as the scientific framework for rectified living. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is dedicated to placing people in their original, constitutional position through these authorized means, ensuring that the service offered to the Lord is bona fide and pleasing to Him.

* [[Vaniquotes:The pancaratrika system has the most authorized codes for transcendental devotional service. Without the help of such codes, one cannot approach the Lord, certainly not by dry philosophical speculation|The pancaratrika system has the most authorized codes for transcendental devotional service. Without the help of such codes, one cannot approach the Lord, certainly not by dry philosophical speculation.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:Most scientific and authorized movement. Trying to place people in his original, constitutional position and cooperate for the service of Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness movement|Most scientific and authorized movement. Trying to place people in his original, constitutional position and cooperate for the service of Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness movement.]]
* [[Vaniquotes:Jiva Gosvami, the most authoritative acarya|Jiva Gosvami, the most authoritative acarya.]]

=== Conclusion ===

The most authorized path of devotion is the only reliable way to transcend the dualities and imperfections of material existence. By grounding one's spiritual practice in the instructions of Kṛṣṇa, the examples of the ''mahājanas'', and the guidance of the disciplic succession, the devotee ensures that their progress is solid and scientific. As Śrīla Prabhupāda has demonstrated through the global expansion of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, following the most authorized path leads to the awakening of one's dormant love for God, which is the ultimate welfare for the individual and the entire human society.
