Since the ācārya is a confidential servitor of the Lord, his heart is always full of compassion for humanity in its suffering
CC Adi 3.98, Translation and Purport: Seeing the activities of the world, the Acarya felt compassion and began to ponder how He could act for the people's benefit.
This sort of serious interest in the welfare of the public makes one a bona fide acarya. An acarya does not exploit his followers. Since the acarya is a confidential servitor of the Lord, his heart is always full of compassion for humanity in its suffering. He knows that all suffering is due to the absence of devotional service to the Lord, and therefore he always tries to find ways to change people's activities, making them favorable for the attainment of devotion. That is the qualification of an acarya. Although Sri Advaita Prabhu Himself was powerful enough to do the work, as a submissive servitor He thought that without the personal appearance of the Lord, no one could improve the fallen condition of society.
