Both the initiating and instructing spiritual masters represent of the Supersoul.
The guru is actually one; the guru is the Supersoul. The guru, as the representative of the Supersoul, may appear differently externally, but the transcendental message is the same. Therefore, no real representative of God can disagree with anotherrepresentative of God. Sometimes itseems there are disagreements among genuine representatives of God, but theseare not disagreements, only different perspectives on the same subject. When disagreement or confusion arises among Vaiñëavasabout transcendental subjects, it is almost always a symptom that at leastsomeone involved, if not everyone, is not perfectly in touch with the Supersouland thus lacks a clear perspective on the transcendental platform.
