If you want to help Me, then you become a guru under My instruction. You become a guru.&quot; &quot;Sir, I have no education. I am not a brāhmaṇa. I am this. I am that.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;So Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra ei deśa: (CC Madhya 7.128) &amp;quot;Where you are living, you just try to deliver them. But you become a guru.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;How I shall become?&amp;quot; Yāre dekha tāre kaha kṛṣṇa upadeśa: &amp;quot;Simply you instruct what Kṛṣṇa has said, that&amp;#039;s all. Then you become guru. You don&amp;#039;t require any other qual...&amp;quot; &amp;quot;No, I am not a brāhmaṇa; I am śūdra, I am this or...&amp;quot; That is also all right, because He said to Rāmānanda Rāya when... He was śūdra. He was talking with Caitanya Mahāprabhu but he was very learned devotee. So he was feeling hesitation that &amp;quot;Caitanya Mahāprabhu&amp;#039;s coming from very high-grade brāhmaṇa, and He is sannyāsa. His position is very exalted. I am a śūdra. How I can advise Him?&amp;quot; He was questioning, and Rāmānanda Rāya was answering.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:Lecture -- Nellore, January 4, 1976|Lecture -- Nellore, January 4, 1976]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot; class=&amp;quot;text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;So unless we come to the point of taking shelter at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, our life is imperfect. Therefore Kṛṣṇa comes. He says ultimately that &amp;quot;My dear Arjuna, because you are My very dear friend, I am giving you the most confidential knowledge.&amp;quot; What is that? Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). This is most confidential. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu&amp;#039;s mission is the same because Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself. Kṛṣṇa reminded that sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja, but the duṣkṛtina mūḍha narādhama, they could not understand it. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu came again as a devotee of Kṛṣṇa to teach how to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s lotus feet. This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that—His mission is especially to the Indians, those who are born in India—that āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra ei deśa ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 7.128|CC Madhya 7.128]]). This instruction was given in South India when Caitanya Mahāprabhu was traveling in South India. So many people... He was attractive, and... &amp;quot;Sir, take me with You. Sir, take me with You.&amp;quot; He traveled in the villages, villages, very extensively. Especially He traveled in South India. So at that time this instruction was given to some South Indian brāhmaṇa: &amp;quot;My dear sir, better stay here. Don&amp;#039;t come with Me. You try to preach My philosophy. You haven&amp;#039;t got to come with Me.&amp;quot; So He said, āmāra ājñāya guru hañā, that &amp;quot;Why you want to come with Me? My mission is this. If you want to help Me, then you become a guru under My instruction. You become a guru.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Sir, I have no education. I am not a brāhmaṇa. I am this. I am that. How can I become guru?&amp;quot; So Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra ei deśa: ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 7.128|CC Madhya 7.128]]) &amp;quot;Where you are living, you just try to deliver them. But you become a guru.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;How I shall become?&amp;quot; Yāre dekha tāre kaha kṛṣṇa upadeśa: &amp;quot;Simply you instruct what Kṛṣṇa has said, that&amp;#039;s all. Then you become guru. You don&amp;#039;t require any other qual...&amp;quot; &amp;quot;No, I am not a brāhmaṇa; I am śūdra, I am this or...&amp;quot; That is also all right, because He said to Rāmānanda Rāya when... He was śūdra. He was talking with Caitanya Mahāprabhu but he was very learned devotee. So he was feeling hesitation that &amp;quot;Caitanya Mahāprabhu&amp;#039;s coming from very high-grade brāhmaṇa, and He is sannyāsa. His position is very exalted. I am a śūdra. How I can advise Him?&amp;quot; He was questioning, and Rāmānanda Rāya was answering. So the answer-giver is in superior position, so he hesitated. So while he was hesitating, Caitanya Mahāprabhu encouraged him,&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā sei guru haya&lt;br /&gt;
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 8.128|CC Madhya 8.128]])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;He said, &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#039;t matter whether you are a brāhmaṇa or a śūdra or... These are all bodily conception of life. You become above the bodily conception of life. You simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa.&amp;quot; Yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It is not so easy, but it can be very easy, provided we take this bhakti-mārga. Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 18.55|BG 18.55]]). Very easy. And what is bhakti? Bhakti is man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65|BG 18.65]]). Four things: &amp;quot;Always think of Me,&amp;quot; Kṛṣṇa says.

No. Anyone, even a child, can think. Man-manā. And who can concentrate on Kṛṣṇa unless he is a devotee? So man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī: &amp;quot;You worship Me.&amp;quot; Māṁ namaskuru. &amp;quot;By executing these four principles of life you will come back to Me&amp;quot;—mām evaiṣyasi asaṁśayaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65|BG 18.65]])—&amp;quot;without any doubt.&amp;quot; So it is not at all difficult. Had it been difficult... I am collecting my disciples throughout the whole world, and we condemn them according to our... &amp;quot;They are mlecchas, yavanas.&amp;quot; Maybe they are mlecchas, yavanas, but Śukadeva Gosvāmī said that even mlecchas-yavanas, they can be purified.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
