Ššri Mādhavendra Puri’s Devotional Service -
57
tiated by a proper  brāhmaṇa , one cannot be converted into a  brāhmaṇa . In other words, unless one is a  brāhmaṇa , he cannot make another a  brāhmaṇa . A  gṛhastha-brāhmaṇa  partaking of the  varṇāśrama-dharma  institution can secure various types of paraphernalia to worship Lord Viṣṇu through his honest labor. Actually, people beg to be initiated by these householder  brāhmaṇas  just to become successful in the  varṇāśrama  institution or to become free from material desires. It is therefore necessary for a spiritual master in the  gṛhastha-āśrama  to be a strict Vaiṣṇava. A spiritual master from the  sannyāsa  order has very little opportunity to perform  arcana , Deity worship, but when one accepts a spiritual master from the transcendental  sannyāsīs , the principle of Deity worship is not at all neglected. To implement this conclusion, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave us His opinion in the verse  kibā vipra kibā nyāsī , etc. This indicates that the Lord understood the weakness of society in its maintaining that only a  gṛhastha-brāhmaṇa  should be a spiritual master. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu indicated that it does not matter whether the spiritual master is a  gṛhastha  (householder), a  sannyāsī  or even a  śūdra . A spiritual master simply must be conversant in the essence of the  śāstra ; he must understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Only then can one become a spiritual master.  Dīkṣā  actually means initiating a disciple with transcendental knowledge by which he becomes freed from all material contamination.
