acarya's business

[Guest guest]

The acarya's business... Everything is there in the sastra. Acarya does not

invent anything. That is not acarya. Acarya simply points out, "Here is the

thing." Just like in the darkness of night we cannot see anything perfectly

or cannot see anything, but the, when there is sunrise, the sunrise, effect

of sunrise is that we can see things as they are. The things are not

manufactured. There is already... The things are al... The houses, the town

and the everything is there, but when there is sunrise we can see everything

nicely. Similarly, acarya, or incarnation, they do not create anything. They

simply give the light to see things as they are.
