| <p>Bob: But He was, was He also an incarnation at the same...?</p>
| | Bob: Lord Caitanya, He was not a ''guru''; He was different than ''guru''? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, but He is representing as guru.</p>
| | |
| <p>Bob: I see.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: He's ''guru''. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
| | |
| <p>Bob: And then.</p>
| | Bob: Lord Caitanya, He was a different type of ''guru'' than you were? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Because Kṛṣṇa, as God, He demanded that sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). But people misunderstood Him. Therefore Kṛṣṇa again came as guru and taught people how to surrender to Kṛṣṇa.</p>
| | |
| <p>Śyāmasundara: Doesn't He say in the Bhagavad-gītā, "I am the spiritual master"?</p>
| | Prabhupāda: No, no. No. ''Guru'' cannot be different types. All ''gurus'' are of one type. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Huh?</p>
| | |
| <p>Śyāmasundara: Doesn't Kṛṣṇa say "I am the spiritual master"? In Bhagavad-gītā it says...</p>
| | Bob: But He was . . . was He also an incarnation at the same . . .? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes, He's the original spiritual master. Because He has accepted spiritual master of Arjuna. So what is the difficulty? Śiṣyas te 'haṁ śādhi māṁ tvāṁ prapannam ([[Vanisource:BG 2.7|BG 2.7]]). "I am your disciple." So unless He's spiritual master, how Arjuna becomes His disciple? He's the original guru. Tene brahma hṛdā ādi-kavaye, in the Bhāgavata. That He gave instruction about Vedas in the heart of Brahmā. So He's guru.</p>
