What is the significance of incarnate beings in bhakti-sadhana?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Incarnate beings are compassionate bridges in bhakti-sadhana; they guide you across the river of fear, but at the threshold of realization, you must release their form to step into your own light."

A living teacher helps you cross the river, but once you reach the other side, you thank them and walk on your own.
Why this matters practically
- Builds trust to overcome hesitation and begin practice.
- Prevents lifelong dependency by knowing when to let go.
- Harmonizes devotion with self-reliance at the right stage.
