8.MEANING OF “ON MY ORDER, Āmāra ājñāya guru hañā, BE ACTUALLY GURU, BUT BY MY ORDER.”
GBC Meets with Srila Prabhupada - May 28, 1977, Vrndavana.
Srila Prabhupada after enunciating the first formality which refers to the period in which the guru is present,in the presence of the spiritual master, now he states the second formality which refers to the period during which the guru is no longer present.
Satsvarupa's question refers to this period of time, “AT THAT TIME WHEN you're no longer with us.”
During this second period, the etiquette, the formality, the law of disciplic succession says that:
“ON MY ORDER,
Āmāra ājñāya guru hañā ,
be ACTUALLY guru, BUT BY MY ORDER.”
“BUT by my order “ means that THE ONLY CAUSE by which one actually becomes guru is “my order, by my order, on my order”.
This is the requisite or inevitable condition to become actually guru: “by my order, on my order.”
One becomes guru “but by my order”:
