Guru Tattva 2

The first qualification- he must be Vipra meaning Brahman. Brahman means who is just born in Brahman family? Is he qualified to be a Guru? No. He has to follow the path of bhakti. First he has to follow all the rules as a Brahman according to scriptures. First he has to be born in a Brahmin family then he has to follow all the rules and regulations as a Brahman and then he has to follow the path of bhakti. He must have realisation of Krishna bhajan, he must be a very deep and very strong dedicated devotee of Krishna. Then we must accept him as a Guru. The first quality- he must be a Brahman. If such kind of qualified brahman is there then he is the best choice. But if I do not find such kind of Brahman, if there is no such kind of Brahman then one must go to Kshatriya with the same qualities. If there is no Kshatriya of such qualities then one must go to a Vaishaya and then to Shudra. But the first choice must be a Brahman Guru, who is following all the rules and regulation as a Brahman, who is following the path of bhakti, who is a strong dedicated devotee of krishna. He must be the first choice.
