Position of the pure devotee acarya, acarya is a good as Krsna
– One should never be envious of the acarya
– For preaching work, acarya may do something which is not consistent.
– Acarya may sometimes transgress the law
– Vaishnava acarya’s activities are not understood even by the wisest man
– Acarya has finished all business of material satisfaction
“…But in devotion, there is no karma-bandha. As Kṛṣṇa is free from all reaction, similarly Kṛṣṇa’s devotee who wants to satisfy Kṛṣṇa only, he is also free from all reaction. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān nāva-manyeta karhicit [SB 11.17.27]. “The ācārya is as good as I am,” Kṛṣṇa says. Nāva-manyeta karhicit, “Never neglect him.” Na martya-buddhyāsūyeta, “Never be envious of the ācārya, thinking him as anything of this material world.” Ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān [SB 11.17.27]. Therefore, ācārya’s position is as good as Kṛṣṇa. Sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair **. Ācārya is always cautious that he may not be subject to criticism. But who criticizes ācārya, he becomes immediately offender. Because he is playing the part of ācārya, he plays as far as possible. But sometimes for preaching work, he might have to do something which is not consistent. But if he is criticized, then that man who criticizes, he becomes... Of course, he must be ācārya, not a bogus. Ordinary man cannot transgress the laws, but Kṛṣṇa and His representative, ācārya, might be sometimes seen that he has transgressed. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān [SB 11.17.27]. Vaiṣṇavera kriyā, mudrā vijñeha nā bujhaya. In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Vaiṣṇava ācārya, his activities is not understood even by the wisest man. Vaiṣṇavera kriyā, mudrā vijñeha nā bujhaya. Brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam. Ācārya, guru, he is completely surrendered to Kṛṣṇa. He has taken the shelter of Kṛṣṇa, being completely freed from all material affection. Brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam. Everything… Everyone has got some material desire to fulfill, but a guru or ācārya has no such business. That is the symptom of ācārya. He has no more any material business. Brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam. He has finished all business of material satisfaction. That is the symptom of ācārya. And śābde pare ca niṣṇātam. And he has taken full bath in the ocean of transcendental (indistinct). Śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam. Tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta [SB 11.3.21], one should surrender to such spiritual master. Jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam, when he is actually serious about inquiring the transcendental subject matter. Otherwise there is no need of accepting guru or ācārya. He has no business. If one is not interested in the transcendental subject matter …” Conversations : 1972 Conversations : March, 1972 : Room Conversation with John Griesser (later initiated as Yadubara Dasa) — March 10, 1972, Vrndavana
pamho prabhus agtACBSP,
we must trying to see the image of SRI KRSNA in everyone, SRILA PRABHUPADA was first class face reading even better then demigods because the position of the acharya is superior to that of the devas,we must stop to listen to bogus gurus still trapped in the bodily concept of life even at old age because they betrayed our beloved acharya by stealing HIS transcendental position, disciples and money over f-iskcon,
whatever we see we must check if SRI KRSNA is there first, SRILA PRABHUPADA teaching is very attractive because HE is free from the bodily concept of life and beyond the factor time as well as a tri kala jnana as HIS guru used to be too, SRILA PRABHUPADA was always meditating on the sublime vani seva of HIS guru maharaj therefore never felt separation and never betrayed HIS guru maharaj, HE used to say to HIS disciples that you can’t never understand my guru maharaj because SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR were a ray of SRI VISNU avatara,
one has to come to the axalted platform of krsna smarana first by practicing the daily and constant meditation on the sublime nectar coming in from the acintya abheda bheda tattvam phylosophy of SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU,in this way we can never forget krsna by see HIM everywhere and in everything,atmarama ca munayo nirgrantha api urukrame kurvanti ahituki bhaktir ittama bhuto guno hari,we will be always attract by SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA because there is not the problem of the bodily concept of life and this soup is always different is not like the same dish of the material world thank you for your satsanga
