"Chapter Six 
 ""I Command You Become Guru!"" 
 

 It is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (10. 31.9): 

 tava kathamrtam taptajivanam 
 kavibhir iditam kalmasapaham 
 sravana-mangalam srimad-atatam 
 bhuvi grnanti ye bhurida janah 
 ""O, Krsna, the nectar of your words and the narrations of your pastimes give life to us, who are always suffering in this material world. This nectar is broadcast all over the world by great souls, and it removes all sinful reactions. It is all-auspicious and filled with spiritual power. Those who spread this message of Godhead are certainly doing the greatest relief work for human society and are the most magnanimous welfare workers."" 

 This is what is necessary and this is what is universal. Everyone can be satisfied to the highest degree in their hearts only by the nectar of Krsna's words and the nectarine descriptions of his activities. This is because Krsna is raso vai sah, the reservoir of all pleasure, and akhila rasamrta murtih, ecstasy Himself. Krsna's very nature is sweet: 

 madhuram madhuram vapur asya vibhor 
 madhuram madhuram vadanam madhuram 
 madhu gandhi mrdu smitam etad aho 
 madhuram madhuram madhuram madhuram 
 ""O, Lord Krsna! The beauty of your transcendental form is sweet, but your beautiful face is even sweeter. The sweet smile on your face, which is like the sweet aroma of honey, is sweeter still."" 

  
 ""I'm Being Nectarized!"" 

 This verse is found in Bilvamangala Thakura's Krsna Karnamrta (92). He says, ""Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweetness. Krsna is sweetness personified. At my first sight, I thought Krsna was Cupid, who can capture everyone. But then I saw, 'No, this is not like lust personified, which can be experienced only in the material world. This is cinmaya, spiritual substance. I see that this sweetness is spiritual in characteristic. I feel it. It is the very gist of all sweetness. What is this? My eyesight is being nectarized. I am experiencing nectar pouring on my eyes. Oh, Krsna has already conquered my heart. I am captured, I am captivated by sweetness personified."" 

 marah svayam nu madhura-dyuti-mandalam nu 
 madhuryam eva nu mano-nayanamrtam nu 
 veni-mrjo nu mama jivita-vallabho nu 
 krsno 'yam abhyudayate mama locanaya 
 ""My dear friends, where is Krsna, who is Cupid personified, brilliant as a kadamba flower? Where is Krsna, sweetness himself, the sweetest nectar for my eyes and mind? Where is Krsna, who loosens the hair of the gopos? He is the supreme source of divine bliss. He is my life and soul. Has he come before my eyes again?"" 

 This is Bilvamangala Thakura's statement (Krsna Karnamrta 68). Whatever type of sorrow or affliction there may be, all different layers of painfulness will be removed. This nectar of the words and pastimes of Krsna gives us life. It gives us hope that we can live a higher life, that we were not created only to suffer in this mortal world, but to live a life which can soar up and transcend this painful life of mortality. We have that sort of life of vitality in our own intrinsic form. The speculationists say that Krsna consciousness only does away with all sinfulness, but theirs is only an external acquaintance with Krsna consciousness. Sin is nothing in comparison with His purifying capacity. As soon as we come in contact with Krsna, even in the forrn of mere sound through the ear, our real welfare begins to awaken. (sreyah kairava candrika vitaranam ). Krsna consciousness is infinitely surcharged with all the resources of our welfare. And those who can distribute Krsna consciousness to the world are really benevolent and kindhearted. They give the most who give Krsna to those who are helpless and disappointed. Only this sort of transaction should be continued in the world, to save these souls suffering from the disease of mortal connection. 
 Divine Nectar 

 The descriptions about Krsna are like divine nectar. So, go on with this transaction, always giving Krsna consciousness, and if you give Krsna consciousness you will have an ample supply of Krsna consciousness. That will descend from the higher position. If you are sincere to distribute Krsna consciousness, you will have no want in your own capital. New capital will be supplied to you as much as you can give it to others. It will have connection with the infinite source. So go on. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says: 

 yare dekha, tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa 
 amara ajnaya guru hana tara ei desa 
 ""Whomever you find, talk with him only about Krsna."" We have no other engagement. Whomever you find, any soul you come across, try to save him from this desert of mortality. I command you. Don't be afraid; take the position of guru, the giver, and give it to everyone. 

 Then, Mahaprabhu says: 

 kabhu na vadhibe tomara visaya-taranga 
 punarapi ei thani p
