Jayapataka Swami explains the spiritual master’s duty to care for surrendered devotees and the practical limits of one person in meeting many disciples’ needs. He emphasizes collective responsibility—older disciples and godbrothers should help guide younger devotees—and notes operational challenges (e.g., email overload) that make one-on-one attention difficult. He contrasts the guru’s limited personal capacity with Krishna’s ability to expand, arguing for organized, shared care among devotees.

200 emails

The spiritual master is also trying to care for the devotees. Especially he wants to see how devotees can progress in devotional service. Those devotees that have surrendered to the spiritual master as a representative of the Lord, then he is personally responsible and concerned that they make progress. I better stepped up a program for trying to care for any devotees that came to me. But then in the meantime, there were many other disciples who took shelter of me, surrendered to me. They are feeling their lack and I'm not taking enough care for them. Actually, I was thinking that I really need the help from disciples and my God brothers and all the devotees from the godbrothers and all the devotees. I'm also there to help them whatever they need. But I need their help also to help care for all these devotees who are taking shelter. Spread around a little bit. I'm resting. And from the older disciples that they also guide the younger disciples. We want to take care. As I said, it's the responsibility also of the spiritual master to take care. But Krishna can expand himself into unlimited forms where a guru is just a person. I only can make 10 forms, but I still only one. So it's going to require a lot of help from everybody. How to give association help. You know, sometimes devotees send emails. Sometimes I get 200 emails in one day. It would take me three days to answer them. So email has become also like impossible situation. And then people say, I didn't get an answer from my email, so my guru doesn't love me.
