Gurudeva gives everything...

[Full title: Gurudeva gives everything that Nityānanda and Baladeva have come to give]

Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja: All the limbs of vaidhī-bhakti are followed by the rāgānuga Vaiṣṇava, but…

Śrīpāda Tamāla Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja: What is the difference?

Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja: The mood is different.

Śrīpāda Tamāla Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja: A different mood.

Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja: If one rejects the practices of vaidhī, he will not be able to enter rāgānuga; his greed will be checked. So he must follow.

For a person who has actual greed and wants to follow the process of rāgānuga-bhakti, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam says that Bhagavān comes to him in the forms of both caitya-guru and dīkṣā-guru. In this connection we should know that guru is akhaṇḍa-tattva (the complete, undivided principle of guru), a manifestation of Nityānanda Prabhu, Baladeva Prabhu. Because gurudeva gives everything that Nityānanda Prabhu and Baladeva Prabhu have come to give, and because all his instructions are Theirs, he is regarded as Their manifestation.

In Bhagavad-Gita (10.10) it is stated:

तेषां सतत-युक्तानां भजतां प्रीति-पूर्वकम्
ददामि बुद्धि-योगं तं येन माम् उपयान्ति ते

teṣāṃ satata-yuktānāṃ bhajatāṃ prīti-pūrvakam
dadāmi buddhi-yogaṃ taṃ yena mām upayānti te

Upon those who perform bhajana to Me with love, yearning for My eternal association, I give them the intelligence by which they can come to Me.

If a soul surrenders to Kṛṣṇa and possesses pure greed, if he has a pure heart and sufficient saṃskāras, the Lord reveals everything in his heart (dadāmi buddhi-yogam) as caitya-guru. Kṛṣṇa states in Bhagavad-gītā, “I give him the wisdom to achieve my bhakti.” He does not give this openly; He gives it in the heart. He benedicts His devotee with a sphurti (internal vision), inspiring him from within, and personally manifests in his heart all siddhāntas. He also gives instructions externally, in the form of the dīkṣā-guru or śikṣā-guru.
