Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur has clearly described who Sri Guru is .
He is not of this realm, and accordingly, he may, for preaching purposes, have one foot in the material world and one in the spiritual planes.
The materially motivated disciple may attempt to bring his Guru to the material plane by making material calculations as to why Sri Guru says and acts in ways that may go against the grain of modern materialistically accepted norms , after reading the current new age hypocrisyof , ” let’s all me nice to each other,” but at the same time, practice cancel culture , the mundane disciple may give up on trancendental consciousness and loose faith in something truly sublime , ultimately such a person places more faith in material sentiments.
Current times bring many fake narratives, and the net and mainstream media are awash .With so much new age thinking and super liberalism permeating the airwaves giving subjective opinions as to what is good or what is bad , the prospective spiritual searcher may not understand Sri Guru and his position beyond the dualism of good and bad . Sri Guru is a direct representation of Divinity Himself and thus trancendental to material calculations. He represents the all good Supreme trancendental autocrat , as such, by following his strict path along with discipline, we begin to leave the dualities of material life far behind us , those that are based on our own sensual or mental space , and we can begin to enter transcendence , making the real trancendental couple the objects of our attention.
On the battlefield of Kuruksetra, Arjuna initially had so many material considerations why he should not fight , Krishna dismissed them all .
The real messages of the Rasika bhakta are capable of penatrating the heart of the sincere . It’s never dependent on perfect management strategies or any mundane considerations . In communicating their all-important messages , Divinity Himself appears in trancendental sound, such a trancendental sound enters the heart of the disciple.
Some persons who are expert at managment theory and its application and who are perceived as “nice ” externally with perfect dealings and social customs , but who within their hearts have no depths or taste for real krishna consciousness can never help us , rather they can hinder us with material calculations. Whilst the Rasika bhakta can easily be misunderstood by his external behaviour , the verse is there in sastras that to understand the mind of the pure devotee is not easy , Similarly, occasionally his external behavior and speaking .
Sometimes, Srila Prabhupada brought his disciples to tears with his trancendental anger , externally, it could appear unreasonable. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja would smash his fists on the table and become red with anger . On one occasion, he told that a particular disciple could never directly come in touch with him ever again and could get his association indirectly and only through his some of his leading disciples . Many examples can be given of what might appear apparently as unreasonable and ” unvaisnava ” like behaviour of pure devotees throughout the history of Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas.
