"Only out of His immense compassion does the Personality of Godhead reveal Himself as the spiritual master. Therefore in the dealings of an acarya there are no activities but those of transcendental loving service to the Lord. He is the Supreme Personality of Servitor Godhead. It is worthwhile to take shelter of such a steady devotee, who is called asraya-vigraha, or the manifestation or form of the Lord whom one must take shelter."

Srila Prabhupada used to say, "Guru means to repeat the words of Krishna without adding one's own interpretation and therefore guru cannot be two."

 

 

 

 

Krishna says: acaryam mam vijaniyan

 

"One should know the
acarya (guru)
as Myself."
(
Bhag.
11.17.27)
