Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 4. Should we make disciples? Unless we are pure devotees or liberated souls, we should not make disciples. Instead, we should first become disciples ourselves by taking shelter of a bona fide spiritual master. We should then hear hari-katha from such a guru's mouth and follow his instructions in practice and humility. While glorifying those instructions, we should then become gurus. Trying to remain forever insignificant on some pretext amounts to self-deceit. To become guru means to become a devotee of Krsna and to remain constantly engaged in the Lord's service with all our senses. There are no hard and fast rules that tell us we must make disciples, but if the Lord desires it, then a pure devotee will give instructions for others' benefit. Such pure devotees are not selfishly motivated. Rather, their main purpose is to make the insignificant great, to make the godless inclined toward the Lord, and to make each person a devotee of Krsna.
