Guru's Business - Prabhupada 0038

750325 - Lecture CC Adi 01.01 - Mayapur

We cannot approach Kṛṣṇa directly. We should approach through guru. Tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam (SB 11.3.21). That is the injunction of the śāstra, that one should approach the guru who can transfer the service from the disciple to the Supreme Person. So . . . therefore the first offering is guru, vande gurūn.

Then guru creates many devotees. Guru's business is to canvass on behalf of Supreme Lord. That is guru's business.
