<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 4.29.51|SB 4.29.51, Purport]]:''' In Padma Purāṇa it is said:<br />
<br />
:ṣaṭ-karma-nipuṇo vipro<br />
:mantra-tantra-viśāradaḥ<br />
:avaiṣṇavo gurur na syād<br />
:vaiṣṇavaḥ śva-paco guruḥ<br />
<br />
"Even if a brāhmaṇa is very learned in Vedic scriptures and knows the six occupational duties of a brāhmaṇa, he cannot become a guru, or spiritual master, unless he is a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. However, if one is born in a family of dog-eaters but is a pure devotee of the Lord, he can become a spiritual master." The conclusion is that one cannot become a spiritual master unless he is a pure devotee of the Lord.</span></div>Laksmipriya
