One more nail in the ritvik coffin

Prabhupada says:

 

"Guru means, as Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, yare dekha, tare kaha

‘krsna’-upadesa [Cc. Madhya 7.128]. Whomever you meet, you just instruct him

in what krsna says, that’s all. You become guru. It is not very difficult to

become guru, provided we simply preach the instruction of krsna. That we are

doing. We do not say that we are perfect, we have become God, or we have so

many, so many magic jugglery. No, we have nothing to do, that. No magic, no

jugglery, no God. Simply to become servant of God, and whomever we meet, we

speak the words of God, that’s all. Then you become guru. This is our

mission. That we may be imperfect, that doesn’t matter. We are imperfect.

Just like this child, he is imperfect. Everyone knows. But if he says, “My

father has informed me that this is microphone,” so this knowledge of “is

microphone” is perfect because he has received from the father, experienced

father. And before hearing from the father, he may not know that this is

microphone, but since he has heard from the father that this is microphone,

and if he says to others that “My father has said, ‘This is microphone,’ ”

then people will accept this is perfect knowledge. So we should follow this

instruction of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, yare dekha, tare kaha ‘krsna’-upadesa

[Cc. Madhya 7.128]. So you, every one of you, can become guru."
