Sri Guru... it is not he that is personally speaking

[Guest guest]

Pamho. AGTSP.

SP said there are 2 kinds of Guru, self realized and the one who is

following strictly instructions of such a perfect self realized.Or like

Gaura Govinda Swami said that the pipe should not think its the source.But

its a test to remain a link in the parampara for all of us, this for sure.

Pure devotion is feeled as an unnatural thing for the conditioned souls

which want to mix it with karma, jnana and other impurities to make it more

palatable for their conditioned mind.Here the problem is not that we

admister the proper ammount of spiritual understanding to new people and not

overburden them, but that we know actually what is the proper standard we

have to come to in this or even in a future life.

I dont see that ISKCON is in big crisis, but always there are challenges as

you said.Unserious people will try to make it palatable for their minds.So

here we have to be strong.But we should not discourage anyone to try to

advance slowly towards the perfect stage.

Your servant
