Dear Smt Vedavalli,

Like several other works of pUrvAchAryas, Sri Vachana Bhsuhanam also 
conveys that the Lord is the means and goal and He delivers out of 
His krpA. Keeping faith in an AchArya is as good as believing in such 
great Lord who is the means. Hence the AchArya himself is the means 
out of his concern for the followers!

It is difficult to get the conviction unless His blessings are there. 
Also the religion preached is selfless. Consumerism, casteism and 
orientation toward rituals prevent adherence. Here, your exposure to 
Bhagavadgita As It Is (perhaps, ISKCON) associated with aptitude to 
analyze, may help.

I dont know whether Patricia Mumme wrote a treatise on it. if she 
wrote, that will be a good one to read. 

Any commentary you read, it is better to follow the following 
approach:

Correlation of each sUtra with preceding and succeeding ones.

Please let me know once you secure a copy.
