Don't try to become overintelligent.

[Guest guest]

Everything is there. Satam prasangan. From a bona fide spiritual master you

receive knowledge, because he will present as he has received from his

spiritual master. He'll not adulterate or manufacture something. That is the

bona fide spiritual master. And that is very easy. To become spiritual

master is not very difficult thing. You'll have to become spiritual master.

You, all my disciples, everyone should become spiritual master. It is not

difficult. It is difficult when you manufacture something. But if you simply

present whatever you have heard from your spiritual master, it is very easy.

If you want to become overintelligent, to present something, to interpret

something, whatever over you have heard from spiritual master you can make

some further addition, alteration, then you'll spoil whole thing. Then

you'll spoil whole thing. Don't make addition or alteration. Simply present

as it is. Therefore, we have begun Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Don't try to

become over spiritual master. Then you'll spoil. Remain always a servant of

your spiritual master and present the thing as you have heard. You'll be

spiritual master. This is secret. You should know it. Don't try to become

overintelligent. That will spoil. Evam parampara praptam imam rajarsayo

viduh [bg. 4.2].
