(You cannot become direct servant. You first of all become servant of the servant. The guru is the servant of Kṛṣṇa, and you become his servant. Then you . . . you are bona fide servant) 
"Guru never says that, "I am Kṛṣṇa. I am God. I am Bhagavān." No. He never says. He is not guru then. He will say: "I am the most humble servant of the servant of the servant of God," not direct servant—servant, servant, servant, servant, hundred times down. Gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsa-dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ (CC Madhya 13.80).
This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's words. Gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsa-dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ. The more you become servant, servant, you are perfect servant. Don't try to become direct servant. That is not possible. You cannot become direct servant. You first of all become servant of the servant. The guru is the servant of Kṛṣṇa, and you become his servant. Then you . . . you are bona fide servant. That is our real position."
