“The sat guru is a pure devotee of Lord Krsna, a completely surrendered soul. Before accepting a spiritual master, the disciple must be very cautious, or he may be cheated. Especially in Kali-yuga, many pose as devotees or sādhus, claiming to be pure, but as we say — all that glitters is not gold. Śāstras describe symptoms to recognize a genuine guru and one should examine carefully before accepting. After acceptance, one must be extremely careful not to commit offenses by disobeying the orders of such a guru.”
