Last Guru : Big Misconception

Isn’t it Lord Chaitanya’s desire and instruction that we disciples of Srila Prabhupada become gurus ourselves to explain and expand this great science, under the expert guidance of our beloved spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, to whomever we meet?
This does not mean that we want to be worshipped ourselves or sit on a vyasasana or imitate such a great and rare soul like Srila Prabhupada. It simply means that we are a little willing to accept our great duty to Krsna and the disciplic succession to understand everything as it actually is, and pass it on whenever there is a chance in our lives, unchanged. Doesn’t Lord Krsna say that such a “great soul is very dear to Him?”
Isn’t this passing along the philosophical understanding without adulteration, according to our realizations, always pleasing to Srila Prabhupada?
So, should we too eventually surrender to Krsna completely, so that Krsna may empower us from within our hearts to repeat this same transcendental message as heard from our beloved Srila Prabhupada, and which has been handed down for centuries from master to disciple?
We may not completely finish this attempt in this life but isn’t THIS our real purpose in life?
Aren’t we to give up our foolish and meaningless material ambitions in this dying world and attempt this rare and noble task of becoming authoritative representatives of param para, as is the specific instruction of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, even as we see some going down in flames ?
We know that nothing would please Srila Prabhupada more than if all of his disciples became Krsna conscious, even accepting disciples and preaching all over the world. At least after reading our beloved Srila Prabhupada’s instructions for so many decades, this is for sure the undeniable message that I have understood. Just saying.
