The spiritual master knows whatever Krishna wants him to know.

But one walk, when we used to walk in these little single files along the little paths between the paddies, we said something to the effect like "Prabhupada, how do we understand that the spiritual master knows everything?" Prabhupada said, "No one can know everything. Only Krishna knows everything, but the spiritual master knows whatever Krishna wants him to know." Then he also said, "The spiritual master knows everything that his spiritual master has given him. So in that sense he knows everything, but only Krishna knows everything."
