<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- January 4, 1977, Bombay|Morning Walk -- January 4, 1977, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: But his disciples say he is more than Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Disciples..., disciples...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That means why he has created such nonsense? If the disciples say something wrong, then that means he is also wrong. These people will never say that "Our Guru Mahārāja is more than Kṛṣṇa." They are not so nonsense. They will say "My Guru Mahārāja is servant of Kṛṣṇa and I am his servant."</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: He has said Puruṣottama is svarūpa. It cannot be a... Anything which is infinite cannot be grasped by finite senses. That's what he said.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is going on. But disciples say that Aurobindo is more than... This is their knowledge.</p>
<p>Girirāja: That means he's failed as a guru. He hasn't...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He could not give them right knowledge. Phalena paricīyate. The paricīya is to be understood by the result. The disciple is the result. If they are so fool, then what is the guru?</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Vaiṣṇava-paramparā, Vallabhācārya, the whole lot is now. I have seen it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are criticizing us.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: This thing is the God has to reincarnate Himself again to reestablish bhāgavata-dharma.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is everywhere. If you don't mind, your Swami Nārāyaṇa is also like that.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: All of them. They are. That is why, I mean, liberation is created by God again by incarnation.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They create a cheap God. Real God they reject. That is going on.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Swami Nārāyaṇa said that (Sanskrit). Only to worship Kṛṣṇa. Nobody else. Unfortunately the disciples... Suppose disciples...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That the same thing. If the disciples are rascals, then what is the guru?</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: The disciple is being called guru-Kṛṣṇa again. That is what happens in all the other Vaiṣṇava. They say Vallabhācārya Mahāprabhu in place of Kṛṣṇa. That is wrong. Yathā. Yathā deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Gurau.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Gurau. That is fact. Then you can get the real, I mean, kṛpā of guru and realize God. But they're...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: These things happened by Vallabhācārya. That's a long history generally. They call him Mahāprabhu to make competition with real Mahāprabhu, Caitanya Mahāprabhu.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Vallabhācārya was disciple of Caitanya Mahāprabhu.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not disciple. Very admirer. But when He criticized strongly on account of his attacking Śrīdhara Svāmī...</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Caitanya Mahāprabhu differs in philosophy from Vallabhācārya. He did.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. But they were friend, Vallabhācārya and Caitanya Mahāprabhu. So he wanted to present his (indistinct) Gītā to Caitanya Mahāprabhu, that "You'll find better than Śrīdhara Svāmī."</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: That is the highest</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So He became very dissatisfied. He... Because friendly, He said that "If you don't accept svāmī, then you are a veśya." These words He recited, svāmī nā māne yei jana veśyāra. These are there, these words.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Vallabhācārya's establishment of his own family members as the paramparā is wrong. That is why the whole system has degraded.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Not śiṣya-paramparā.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Śiṣya-paramparā is the right... The same thing is happening in Swami Nārāyaṇa's. They have degraded. Because Swami Nārāyaṇa actually put his two nephews as ācārya. That was wrong. In South with Rāmānujācārya, they have got a śiṣya-paramparā. But they have also degenerated.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No... Sons also may become śiṣya provided he's qualified. Otherwise not.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: (indistinct) the real fellow. Real. They this śiṣya-paramparā in two...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Śiṣyān ca putrān ca. There is no difference. But not because he is śiṣya of such person or putra of such person. Not like that. Either śiṣya or putra.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: The guru-śiṣya is as good as putra. More than a putra. To a real guru the śiṣya is more than a putra.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: For guru there is no difference. But the real thing is qualification. That gotra, our gotra, that is applicable to the śiṣya and to the putra.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: That is in śiṣya-paramparā they have got that... Gautama.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Gotra... Just like gotra, Kasya-gotra.(?) This gotra means this family, either śiṣya or putra. Just like Gautama-gotra, there are many brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas. So those who are brāhmaṇas, it means putras and those who are kṣatriyas and vaiśyas, they are śiṣyas. But the gotra is the same.</p>
