Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

You simply repeat what Kṛṣṇa has said in the Bhagavad-gītā, you become guru. To become guru is not . . . But if you want to be a bluffer, cheater, then you can talk all nonsense. But if you actually talk only Kṛṣṇa's words, then you become a guru. It is not very difficult.

So our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying to enlighten people so that they can accept these principles of Bhagavad-gītā. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission is para-upakāra. And He advises everyone, especially Indian, to become guru. He said, āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra' ei deśa (CC Madhya 7.128): "Every one of you, you become a guru and try to deliver the persons where you are living." "So how can I become guru?" "Yes, it is very easy." "What is that?" Yāre dekha tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'-upadeśa (CC Madhya 7.128), then you become guru. You simply repeat what Kṛṣṇa has said in the Bhagavad-gītā, you become guru. To become guru is not . . . But if you want to be a bluffer, cheater, then you can talk all nonsense. But if you actually talk only Kṛṣṇa's words, then you become a guru. It is not very difficult.

Kṛṣṇa says, man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru (BG 18.65), four things only. And mām evaiṣyasi asaṁśayaḥ: "By doing these four things, without any doubt, you come back to Me." And what are those four things? Man-manā bhava: "Always think of Me." That is very difficult job? You are seeing . . . (break) So man-manāḥ. And then you become bhakta. Unless you are bhakta, you cannot continue to think of Kṛṣṇa. Man-manā bhava mad . . . mad-yājī, "Worship Me." So here is Kṛṣṇa, accepting everyone's worship. And what is the means of worship? Very simple. If you can offer very valuable things, that is all right. But if you think that you are poor man, you cannot supply any valuable things, Kṛṣṇa says, "Never mind." Patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati (BG 9.26): "Simply little flower, little fruit, if you offer Me with devotion, I accept." So there is no difficulty.
