But we should "become guru" in the way he asked us to, not in the way we want. When asking us to "become Guru", Srila Prabhupada would invariably invoke Lord Caitanya's instruction from the Caitanya-caritamrta "amara ajanya guru hana". Explaining this most famous verse, Srila Prabhupada instructs: "It is best not to accept any disciples." (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila, 7.130, purport). Also, in describing this type of Guru Srila Prabhupada said: "'How can I become guru?' There is no need of qualification... Whomever you meet, you simply instruct what Krsna has said." (Lecture, 21/5/76); and also: "Anyone can do. A child can do." (Conversation, 11/5/77). So clearly he was not ordering his disciples to accept their own disciples, but merely to preach, act as siksa or instructing Gurus and initiate on his behalf.
