A living entity who plays the part on behalf of Krsna. God’s representative means the Guru.
1. Guru’s Instructions
We should follow his orders. We should please him if we want to please God.
2. Guru is not God
The Guru should be accepted as God. He is the external manifestation of Krsna but different from the incarnations of Krsna.
3. Symptoms of a Guru
The general symptoms of a Guru are described in the Vedas. To become a Guru is not an easy task. It is a risky job. A guru comes in a disciplic succession. A guru must have heard about the Vedas from his spiritual master. He is a perfect devotee. He serves Krsna by preaching His message. He has to take all the poisons and absorb them. He has to take the responsibility for all the sinful activities of his disciples.
4. Guru also suffers
Due to the sinful activities of the devotees.
