This is what it means to be connected to the disciplic succession: it means one must become responsible for others. And in the eyes of the Lord one is responsible to the Lord and to the entire disciplic succession if he doesn’t teach others what is the ultimate goal of life, how to work in the spirit of devotion, how not to work in the spirit of selfishness, how to offer the fruits of one's own work to Krishna and how to make Krishna the supreme goal of life. When one works in this way, then he can lead others in the right path.
