Regarding how you cannot get the right information from a cheater guru
So you have to accept Kṛṣṇa or His representative as guru. Then your problems will be solved. Otherwise it is not possible, because he can say what is good for you, what is bad for you. He is asking, yac chreyaḥ syān niścitaṁ brūhi tat [Bhagavad-gita. 2.7]. Niścitaṁ.
If you want advice, instruction, niścitaṁ, which is without any doubt, without any illusion, without any mistake, without any cheating, that is called niścitaṁ. That you can get from Kṛṣṇa or His representative. You cannot get right information from the imperfect person or a cheater. That is not right instruction.
Nowadays it has become a fashion; everyone is becoming guru and he is giving his own opinion, "I think," "In my opinion." That is not guru.
