If you are incapable to be guru that is your Problem not SP

"If you are incapable of raising yourself to the

standard of becoming spiritual master, that is

not your spiritual master's fault, that is your

fault. He wants, just like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

said, amara ajnaya guru hana, By My order, every

one of you become a guru."

In the quote, as with many other similar ones, Srila

Prabhupada clearly links the type of guru he is

authorising to the famous 'amara ajnaya' verse.

However this verse actually only encourages

teachers/preacher, vartma-pradasaka gurus, as the

following illustrates:

 

Srila Prabhupada: Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu...

Yare dekha tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa: "You become

guru. No qualification required. Simply you repeat

what Krsna has said." Just see how simplified. Don't

talk anything nonsense. Yare dekha tare kaha

'krsna'--bas. So who cannot do it? Anyone can do it,

even a child. (laughs) Our Syamasundara's daughter.

She was preaching, "Do you know Krsna?" They said, "No

I have got no...The Supreme Personality." This is

preaching, simply if you say that "Krsna is the

Supreme Personality, supreme controller. Just be

obedient to Him." Where is the difficulty? Anyone can

preach. Chant Hare Krsna. Bas. Three words: Krsna is

the Supreme Personality of Godhead; surrender unto

Him; and chant Hare Krsna. Your life will be

successful. What is the difficulty in preaching these

three words? Hm? Is there any difficulty? Even a child

like Sarasvati, she can preach. Then what to speak of

others? Those who are educated, grown-up, advanced,

they can put the matter more nicely, more

convincingly, more philosophically. That is another

thing. But these three words, that "Krsna is the

Supreme Lord; you are servant; and chant Hare

Krsna"--bas, preaching complete. Very simple thing and

the sublime instruction. Everyone can become guru by

simply teaching these three words."

(Room Conversation, Puri, 25/1/77)
