Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Bhaktivedanta Leadership Newsletter A King Because a king is representative of God. King is not ordinary person. Just like spiritual master is representative of God, similarly, king is also representative of God. The father is also representative of God. These are the statements of the sastras. Because they will guide. The king will guide. The spiritual master will guide. The father will guide. What is that guidance? That guidance is how one can become Krsna conscious by education, by culture. This is guidance, not that to guide them how to become hippies. This is not guidance. This is misguidance. Guidance means... The whole system of human civilization is guide the people to become God conscious. This is the Vedic civilization, not to make them dog conscious, cat conscious, animal conscious. Editor's Note It is a great responsibility to be a represenative of God. Nowdays, our ISKCON Leaders are in a position to be representatives of God. Therefore, they must be spotless in their character. Integrity matters. Honesty matters. We expect that they manifest godly qualities on a daily basis. Srila Prabhupada often said that we are training first-class men, and the first ones to become first class are our leaders. However, those who are intelligent will not wait for leaders to become first class. They will work hard right away to become first class themselves, even if no one else does.
