Tamala Asura : Only you are that powerful, Srila Prabhupada. We're like...
Prabhupada: Why you are not?
Tamala Krsna: We're like the bugs.
Prabhupada:You are my disciples. "Like father, like son." You should be. Gaurangera bhakta-jane. Everyone. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, amara ajnaya guru hana tara' ei desa [Cc. Madhya 7.128]. He asked everyone, "Just become guru." Follow His instruction, you become guru. Amara ajnaya. Don't manufacture ideas. Amara ajnaya. "What I say, you do. You become a guru." Where is the difficulty? "And what is Your ajna?" Yare dekha tare kaha krsna-upadesa. Bas. Everything is there in the Bhagavad-gita. You simply repeat. That's all. You become guru. To become a guru is not difficult job. Follow Caitanya Mahaprabhu and speak what Krsna has said. Bas. You become guru."

Yes, EVERYONE should be guru, ie provide instructions to their best ability without changing the messages of Godhead. There are different levels and meanings of the word guru, which means one who has heavy knowledge to give etc. Mahaprabhu asks all to try to be guru, bharata bhumite haila , manusya janma jara....those born in India should try to give the best thing to the whole world. CC. To be Diksa SriGuru means of course to actually be qualified, whereas ALL may act as small "G" guru by presenting what Krsna has presented. Do you agree with my understanding ? Of course, even a madhyama may be taken as diksa guru in an emergency, but that is not recommended.
