Examples: Modifications in "Assuming Responsibility Of Being Guru", an essay from Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati

Document 1: Text from "Hare Krishna Homepage" (HKH) (Rocana, 8/1997)
Document 2: Text from "
Saranagati" (SAR) (Narasingha Chaitanya Matha, 9/1998)

Example 1

HKH: When the Guru imparts the mantram to the disciple should he not tell him by this mantram to worship the Guru?

SAR: When the guru imparts the mantra to the disciple should he not tell him by this guru-gayatri-mantra to worship his guru?

Example 2

HKH: In the angle there is always the defect in the shape of absence of the fullness, the evenness of level, of 180 degrees or of 360 degrees. But in the plain surface, in 360 degrees, there is no such defect. That in the emancipated state no defect is possible, this simple truth ordinary foolish people entirely fail to grasp.

SAR: (sentence missing) In the emancipated state no defect is possible, this simple truth ordinary foolish people entirely fail to grasp.

Example 3

HKH: Especially as Shri Gurudeva has directed me saying, 'By My command being Guru save this land.' This command has my Gurudeva preached. My Gurudeva in his turn has conveyed the command to me. I will not be guilty of any insincerity in carrying out that command. In this matter I will not accept the ideal of ignorant, insincere, pseudo-ascetic sectarianism. I will not learn insincerity. The worldly-minded, the malicious, the pseudo-renunciationists, the selfish cannot understand how the devotees of God, spurning at everything of this world by command of God, never, not even for a second, deviate from the service of God through all the twenty-four hours. Hypocritical sectarians, pseudo-Vaishnava sects, those sects that cherish internally the longing for earthly fame, naturally enough think 'what a shame it is for one to listen to the eulogies of disciples occupying the seat of the Guru.' But every Vaishnava regards everyone of the Vaishnavas as the object of his veneration. When Thakur Haridas exhibits the attitude of humility Mahaprabhu says - 'You are the greatest of the world, the crest-jewel of the world. Be agreeable, let us have our meal together.' He carried in His arms the body of Thakur Haridas which is eternally existent, self-conscious and full of spiritual bliss. In the community that follows Shri Rupa, the qualities of desiring no honor for oneself and of readiness to duly honor others are fully present. Those who detect any disparity are, like the owl, blind while the sun shines. They commit an offense by such conduct.

SAR: Especially as Sri Gurudeva has directed me saying, "By my command, be guru; save this land." (rest missing) Hypocritical sectarians, pseudo-Vaisnava sects, those sects that cherish internally the longing for earthly fame, and others naturally think, "What a shame it is for one to listen to the eulogies of disciples occupying the seat of the guru." But every Vaisnava regards everyone of the Vaisnavas as the objects of his veneration. (rest missing)
