Detailed explanation-1: -A person may be a brāhmaṇa or a śūdra or a sannyāsī, but if he happens to be well versed in the science of Kṛṣṇa, then he is fit to become a spiritual master. (CC Madhya 8.128) The qualification, then, of a spiritual master is not to be a qualified brāhmaṇa, but to be well versed in the science of Kṛṣṇa.
Detailed explanation-2: -These are his two qualifications: he must have heard the Vedic knowledge through the disciplic succession, and he must be established in service to the Supreme Lord.
Detailed explanation-3: -The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth. The path of spiritual realization is undoubtedly difficult. The Lord therefore advises us to approach a bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciplic succession from the Lord Himself.
Detailed explanation-4: -A Spiritual Master is the one who has experienced the Spirit. He knows what the Spirit is at the level of the individual and also at the level of the Universe. He is always aligned to the Spirit.
Detailed explanation-5: -He should have realized the conclusion of the scriptures by deliberation (vicāraṇā paraḥ) He should be able to convince others of these conclusions. They leave aside all material considerations and take complete shelter of the Supreme Lord.
