52 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 4
PURPORT
Sanatana Gosvami clearly defines herein the bona fide spiritual master of the
world. The qualifications expressed in this connection are that one must act ac-
cording to the scriptural injunctions and at the same time preach. One who does
so is a bona fide spiritual master. Haridasa Thakura was the ideal spiritual master
because he regularly chanted on his beads a prescribed number of times. Indeed,
he was chanting the holy name of the Lord 300,000 times a day. Similarly, the
members of the Krsna consciousness movement chant a minimum of sixteen
rounds a day, which can be done without difficulty, and at the same time they
must preach the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu according to the gospel of
Bhagavaa-gita As It Is. One who does so is quite fit to become a spiritual master
for the entire world.
