Here is a nice quote which answers many questions about inter-personal

dealings between devotees and between disciples and their Spiritual Masters.

 

"I am very sorry that [XX Dasa] has assumed such air of importance. We

should always remember that we are on the path of perfection, but we

are not perfect. If [XX] das or anyone thinks that he has attained

perfection he will be wrongly directed. I have asked you all to

address your Godbrothers as prabhu. This prabhu means boss. If

everyone of us thinks of his fellow worker as boss there is no

question of misunderstanding. The mistake is that being addressed as

boss or prabhu one thinks himself as exactly Prabhu or the boss. One

should not forget himself as humble servant even though one is

addressed as prabhu. The spiritual master is offered respects as they

are offered to the Supreme Lord. Unfortunately if the spiritual master

thinks that he has become the Supreme Lord then he is doomed. A

bonafide spiritual master always think of himself as the servant of

the Lord. One should never forget -- be humble in dealings. If

everyone of us would conduct our business in that spirit of prabhu and

servant then there is very little chance of being misunderstood.

Sometimes misunderstanding may take place but it should be adjusted in

a spirit of service attitude to the prabhu."

 

--Srila Prabhupada, letter to Nandarani, Nov. 28, 1967
