Text

“I cannot properly describe the discourses of RÄmÄnanda RÄya, for he is not an ordinary human being. He is fully absorbed in the devotional service of the Lord.

Purport

One is forbidden to accept the guru, or spiritual master, as an ordinary human being (guruá¹£u nara-matiḥ). When RÄmÄnanda RÄya spoke to Pradyumna MiÅ›ra, Pradyumna MiÅ›ra could understand that RÄmÄnanda RÄya was not an ordinary human being. A spiritually advanced person who is authorized to act as the spiritual master speaks as the Supreme Personality of Godhead dictates from within. Thus it is not he that is personally speaking. In other words, when a pure devotee or spiritual master speaks, what he says should be accepted as having been directly spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the paramparÄ system.
