Lokanatha das Gosvami

There is no need to think, “He is my guru. If I give him up, that will be a big offense.” Rather, if you do not give him up, that will be a big offense. Give him up at once. Srimad-Bhagavatam and Krsna (sastra) tell us, “Give up this person, otherwise you are committing an offense.” Don’t believe his cheating words, saying “If you give me up, that is an offense.” 

In this world, if guru has some opulence, if he is preaching throughout the world with vast wealth and a good position, then everyone will know of him. Lokanatha dasa Gosvami always desired to remain very far away from reputation, name, fame, and position. If he sprinkled mercy upon someone, he would always tell that person, “Don’t glorify me. Let me remain calm and quiet. This is my final order…”
