Without being empowered by Krsna, nobody can preach the holy name of the Lord. Krsna-sakti vina nahe nama pracarana. So without getting the power of attorney... Just like even one is qualified lawyer, he must get the power of attorney from the client, and then he can speak. That is the law. Similarly, without being endowed with the power of attorney from Krsna, it is not possible to preach.

So Sanātana Gosvāmī is ''guru''. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is authorizing him to become ''guru''. This is ''paramparā'' system. Nobody can become ''guru'' all of a sudden. Self-made ''guru'', that is not ''guru''. Here Caitanya, er, Sanātana Gosvāmī is presented as the disciple, ideal disciple. He is asking, ''ke āmi kene āmāya jāre tāpa-traya'', process how to approach ''guru'', how to ask him question. ''Tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena'' ([[vanisource:BG 4.34 (1972)|BG 4.34]]). ''Paripraśna ''means question. That is also required. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu is authorizing him. Therefore He says, ''kṛṣṇa-śakti dhara tumi''. Here Kṛṣṇa, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He is authorizing Sanātana Gosvāmī. Unless he has got the power to receive the instruction, Caitanya Mahāprabhu is not going to waste His time. He has the power. He is empowered. Kṛṣṇa . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission is that to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. So He is empowering Sanātana Gosvāmī to take this task and spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. There is . . . You'll find in the ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta ''the verse, ''kṛṣṇa-śakti vinā nahe nāma pracāraṇa ''([[vanisource:CC Antya 7.11|CC Antya 7.11]]). Without being empowered by Kṛṣṇa, nobody can preach the holy name of the Lord. ''Kṛṣṇa-śakti vinā nahe nāma pracāraṇa''. So without getting the power of attorney . . . Just like even one is qualified lawyer, he must get the power of attorney from the client, and then he can speak. That is the law. Similarly, without being endowed with the power of attorney from Kṛṣṇa, it is not possible to preach.

So our business is . . . Because we are preparing ourselves to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we must be qualified to get the power of attorney. Sometimes we speak that "I'll preach." What you will preach? First of all get the power of attorney; then preach. Preaching is not so easy that everyone and anyone can preach without . . . ''Kṛṣṇa-śakti vinā nahe nāma pracāraṇa''. So to get that power of attorney one has to qualify himself. Not that the power of attorney is hanging in the tree and you can take it. No. So how this power of attorney can be achieved? That is stated in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''. You are singing daily day, daily ''guru''. Now, today is ''guru-pūrṇimā''. Especially we should understand what is the power of attorney.
