"You become a guru on My order." "How shall I become guru? I have no knowledge." Oh, you don't require any knowledge to manufacture. Yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa [Cc Madhya 7.128]: "Simply repeat the instruction of Krsna, you become guru." Everyone can become. The instruction is there. Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg 18.66]. We say the same thing. Not that "I have become Krsna, not..." We say "Surrender to Krsna." Then you become guru. Krsna's instruction; not to become Krsna. If you want to become Krsna, then you are not guru, you are cheater. Suppose you are working for master. If you say, "My master has fixed up this price; you cannot change it," then you are honest salesman. And if you place yourself that "I am the master," then you are cheater. The cheater cannot be teacher. Teacher is he who simply teaches what Krsna has said. That's all. He is teacher. That is not difficult. Anyone can do it. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa [Cc Madhya 7.128]: "Whomever you meet, you simply speak to him the instruction of Krsna. Then you become guru." And if you don't say that, if you manufacture your own words, then you are cheater, you are not teacher. The so-called gurus, they're cheater. They want to become Krsna. Therefore they are cheater. And it is very easy thing if you cheat people, that "You take this mantra and you become God." Is God so easy thing to become God? But they want to be cheated. "Purchasing mantra, I shall become God." They want to be cheated. They do not think that "Whether I can actually become God?" They do not take the weight of His existence. Hare Krsna. Jaya. So, what is the time now?    (More...)
