That is perfection.

[Guest guest]

So we should follow... This is called parampara system. As Arjuna understood

Bhagavad-gita, if we understand in that way, then we are perfect. I may be

imperfect, but because I understand Bhagavad-gita as it was understood by

Arjuna, I am perfect. Because the knowledge I am distributing, that is not

imperfect. Just like a post peon. A post peon is delivering you one thousand

dollars. So he may be poor man, but the one thousand dollars, he is

delivering, that is a fact. That is not bogus thing. Because he has not

manufactured something. He has received that money order from the post

office. He's asked to deliver it to such and such person. His honesty is to

deliver the money order as it is to the bona fide person. That is his

perfection. He doesn't require... Because he's delivering one thousand

dollars, he doesn't require to become a very rich man. He may be a poor man.

Similarly, a guru, a guru is perfect when he delivers the words of the

superior authority as it is. Then he's perfect. He may be imperfect in your

estimation. But that is his perfection, that he is not misleading people by

becoming a so-called rascal scholar and interpreting in a different way and

misleading the whole population. That is perfection.
