Who is the Messiah?
In a room conversation in Mumbai, India on 15 April 1977 Srila Prabhupada explained who is the messiah, the savior of the world.
Prabhupāda: Every one of us messiah. Anyone Kṛṣṇa conscious, he's the messiah. Every one. Why one? All of us. Gaurāṅgera bhakta-gaṇe, jane jane śakti dhari, brahmāṇḍa tari saksi: "The devotee of Lord Caitanya, every one has so immense power that every one, they can deliver the whole universe." Gaurāṅgera bhakta-jane, jane jane śakti..., brahmāṇḍa tari... That is Gaurāṅga's men.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Only you are that powerful, Śrīla Prabhupāda. We're
like...
Prabhupāda: Why you are not?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We're like the bugs.
Prabhupāda:You are my disciples. "Like father, like son." You should be. Gaurāṅgera bhakta-jane. Everyone. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra' ei deśa [Cc. Madhya 7.128].
[Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way become a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.]
He asked everyone, "Just become guru." Follow His instruction, you become guru. Āmāra ājñāya. Don't manufacture ideas. Āmāra ājñāya. "What I say, you do. You become a guru." Where is the difficulty? "And what is Your ājñā?" Yāre dekha tāre kaha kṛṣṇa-upadeśa. Bās. Everything is there in the Bhagavad-gītā. You simply repeat. That's all. You become guru. To become a guru is not difficult job. Follow Caitanya Mahāprabhu and speak what Kṛṣṇa has said. Bās. You become guru.

I have one query. We all are part and parcel of Krishna. We all are soul and not this body. When somebody misbehaves with us, as a devotee we need to tolerate as the person who is misbehaving is also part and parcel of Krishna and with whom he is misbehaving means myself, the soul . Whatever bad happening to us when somebody misbehaves, how much we should tolerate?
Or just keep on tolerating? Neither reacting, nor responding is expected from us because we are in devotional service?
Please explain about it and enlighten me.
Most unfortunate and insignificant soul,
Chinmayi
Hare Krishna.
My Dear Chinmayi,
