This is the job of a spiritual master, to uplift him from ignorance and bring him into knowledge, to bring him out of darkness into light. This is the job of a spiritual master. So this is the duty of everyone, if not much, at least family wise. So within our own family, our children, the dependants like wife, son etc., become their spiritual master. Increase the span a bit, become the spiritual master of the society, community, country. So how to become a spiritual master? So Caitanya Mahāprabhu has said in this connection,
- āmāra ājṣāya guru haṣā tāra' ei desa
- yāre dekha, tāre kaha "ka"-upadesa
Ka, whatever He has said, Ka is the real spiritual master, Bhagavān, bhagavān uvāca. That is why it is said here, bhagavān uvāca, there is no other spiritual master superior to Him. So although Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Ka himself, but He was preaching as a devotee incarnate. So He does not say, "I am saying this." His order is this, a spiritual master orders – say this! What is that?
- yāre dekha, tāre kaha "ka"-upadesa
Ka, whatever He has spoken, preach that, then you will become a spiritual master. And if you speak nonsense, then there will be no fruits borne, there will be no benefit. The real message is that, whatever Ka speaks, you accept that and you tell the world about it.
