A true guide directs souls toward Krishna, not toward the futile pursuit of material happiness.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: [leads chanting of verse, etc.] [break] putrāṁś ca śiṣyāṁś ca nṛpo gurur vā mal-loka-kāmo mad-anugrahārthaḥ itthaṁ vimanyur anuśiṣyād ataj-jñān na yojayet karmasu karma-mūḍhān kaṁ yojayan manujo 'rthaṁ labheta nipātayan naṣṭa-dṛśaṁ hi garte [SB 5.5.15] [01:43] Translation: "If one is serious about going back to home, back to Godhead, he must consider the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the summum bonum and chief aim of life. If he is a father instructing his sons, a spiritual master instructing his disciples or a king instructing his citizens, he must instruct them as I have advised. Without being angry, he should continue giving instructions, even if his disciple, son or citizen is sometimes unable to follow his order. Ignorant people who engage in pious and impious activities should be engaged in devotional service by all means.
They should always avoid fruitive activity. If one puts into the bondage of karmic activity his disciple, son or citizen who is bereft of transcendental vision, how will one profit? It is like leading a blind man to a dark well and causing him to fall in." Prabhupāda: putrāṁś ca śiṣyāṁś ca nṛpo gurur vā mal-loka-kāmo mad-anugrahārthaḥ itthaṁ vimanyur anuśiṣyād ataj-jñān na yojayet karmasu karma-mūḍhān kaṁ yojayan manujo 'rthaṁ labheta nipātayan naṣṭa-dṛśaṁ hi garte [SB 5.5.15] So there are two kinds of ruler or controller. One is the government, and the other is the teacher.
Or guru means spiritual master. Spiritual master can control. The disciples obey the order of the spiritual master out of love. Guror-hitam.
This is brahmacārī. Brahmacārī guru-gṛhe vasan dānto guror hitam. What guru wants, the brahmacārī has to do, not for his hitam. [SB 7.12.2] Just like Arjuna accepted Kṛṣṇa: śiṣyas te 'haṁ śādhi māṁ prapannam [Bg 2.7].
So Arjuna, for his personal benefit he did not want to fight, but for kṛṣṇasya-hitam, hitam, for benefit of Kṛṣṇa, he fought. This is the example. He did not like to kill his kinsmen for his hitam. "Oh, if I kill my kinsmen I'll go to hell, I'll be responsible, this, that..." So many arguments he put forward.
That means he was considering his hitam, not Kṛṣṇa's hitam. But Kṛṣṇa wanted that fight, and when Arjuna agreed, "No, no more my hitam. Your hitam," oh, that is wanted. That is wanted.
Guror-hitam. So there are two different, I mean to say, controller. One is guru and the other is the king or the government. When the... Now it is government.
