Rascal Guru (Part 1) - Prabhupada 0238



750712 - Lecture SB 06.01.26-27 - Philadelphia

Nobody can become guru unless he carries the order of the Supreme. Therefore you will find . . . Because every one of us is ass, we do not know what is our self-interest, and somebody comes, "I am guru." "How you become guru?" "No, I am self-perfected. I don't require to read any book. I have come to bless you." (laughter) And the foolish rascals, they do not know, "How you can become guru?" If he does not follow the śāstra or the supreme authority, Kṛṣṇa, how he can become? But they accept, guru.

So this kind of guru is going on. But you should know, guru means who carries the order of the Supreme Lord.
