I answered with a story:
In an ashram, the guru died. The elders deliberated and chose one amongst the people to replace him. They thought carefully and chose the one person they belived stood out as the best guru.
They rushed to find that person, to tell him the good news. "Our guru has died, bless him. We have deliberated and have decided. You," they said, "you have been chosen to advise our people, to be our guru!" The person, startled, said in protest, "But wait. I am not a guru. I am not prepared. Why have you picked me?"
The new guru advised them to pick this one or that one, someone worthy. But they insisted, "You are our next guru. You have confirmed it."
This is what the kingdom of god is like.
