Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Indian lady: Without gurukṛpā we can't get. You can't achieve the goal. Prabhupāda: That's all right, but you have to ask whether are you guru. Indian lady: That sense you must have. You must know what is what. Prabhupāda: Yes. You are not guru, you are goru. Indian lady: Goru? Prabhupāda: Goru means cow. Sa eva go-kharaḥ. (laughter) You are not guru. You are speaking against Kṛṣṇa, so you are not guru. Guru is Arjuna. Because a confidential instruction is given to Arjuna, so we accept Arjuna as guru. Or one who is following Arjuna, he is guru. Arjuna has accepted Kṛṣṇa, paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān (BG 10.12). You accept Kṛṣṇa as Paraṁbrahma. You want to become Paraṁbrahma. You are cheating people.

Indian lady: I'm asking a question, how to stop this which is going on only if we chant God's name, this poor activity . . .?

Prabhupāda: This is also chanting. If you speak Bhagavad-gītā as it is, this is also chanting.

Indian lady: Preach to everybody as it is.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Present Bhagavad-gītā as it is.

Indian lady: You must know what is in Gītā.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Indian lady: Then nobody can fool you. And you know in our so-called Guru Baba's speeches, without gurukṛpā you can't get anything. They want to enter . . .

Prabhupāda: No, no. First of all we . . .

Indian lady: Without gurukṛpā we can't get. You can't achieve the goal.

Prabhupāda: That's all right, but you have to ask whether are you guru.

Indian lady: That sense you must have. You must know what is what.

Prabhupāda: Yes. You are not guru, you are goru.

Indian lady: Goru?

Prabhupāda: Goru means cow. Sa eva go-kharaḥ. (laughter) You are not guru. You are speaking against Kṛṣṇa, so you are not guru. Guru is Arjuna. Because a confidential instruction is given to Arjuna, so we accept Arjuna as guru. Or one who is following Arjuna, he is guru. Arjuna has accepted Kṛṣṇa, paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān (BG 10.12). You accept Kṛṣṇa as Paraṁbrahma. You want to become Paraṁbrahma. You are cheating people. You do not say Kṛṣṇa is Paraṁbrahma, but you are replacing Him. Then you are cheater, you are not guru. That has to be done. So organize this. Very plain thing. Very plain thing. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu did. Yāre dekha tāre kaha kṛṣṇa-upadeśa (CC Madhya 7.128). Bās. You become guru.
