Prabhupada:…paramahamsa is the highest stage of perfection. Just like as   a
preacher we have to point out… Just like I told this boy, “You   sit
down like this.” But a paramahamsa will not say. A paramahamsa,   he
sees, rather: “He is all right.” He sees. But we should not   imitate
paramahamsa. Because we are preacher, we are teacher, we should   not
imitate paramahamsa. We must tell the right source, right   course.
Revatinandana: You must be higher than the paramahamsa   stage,
Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: I am lower than you. I am lower   than you.
Revatinandana: You are so beautiful. You are paramahamsa,   but still,
you are preaching to us.
Prabhupada: No, I am lower   than you. I am the lowest of the all
creatures. I am simply trying to   execute the order of my spiritual
master. That’s all. That   should be the business of everyone. Try best.
Try your best to   execute the higher order. That is the safest way of
progressing. One may   be in the lowest stage, but if he tries to
execute the duty entrusted upon   him, he is perfect. He may be in
lowest stage, but because he is trying   to execute the duty entrusted
to him, then he is perfect. ………
