Text 49] Matsya, the Lord’s Fish Incarnation 261
of the living being, who is part of the sac-cid-dnanda-vigraha, is the
luster of Gnanda, or pleasure. Anandamayo ’bhydsat. Every living en-
tity has the right to become dnandamaya, joyful, because he is part of
the sac-cid-dnanda-vigraha, Krsna. Why should the living being be put
into tribulation because of dirty contamination by the material modes of
nature? The living entity should become purified and regain his
svaripa, his original identity. This he can do only by devotional service.
Therefore, one should adopt the instructions of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead, who is described here as guror guruh, the spiritual master of
all other spiritual masters.

Even though we may not have the fortune to contact the Supreme Lord
personally, the Lord’s representative is as good as the Lord Himself be-
cause such a representative does not say anything unless it is spoken by
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore
gives a definition of guru. Yare dekha, tare kaha ‘krsna’-upadesa: the
bona fide guru is he who advises his disciples exactly in accordance with
the principles spoken by Krsna. The bona fide guru is he who has ac-
cepted Krsna as guru. This is the guru-parampard system. The original
guru is Vyasadeva because he is the speaker of Bhagavad-gita and
Srimad-Bhagavatam, wherein everything spoken relates to Krsna.
Therefore guru-puja is known as Vydsa-pija. In the final analysis, the
original guru is Krsna, His disciple is Narada, whose disciple is Vyasa,
and in this way we gradually come in touch with the guru-parampard.
One cannot become a guru if he does not know what the Personality of
Godhead Krsna or His incarnation wants. The mission of the guru is the
mission of the Supreme Personality of Godhead: to spread Krsna con-
sciousness all over the world.
