Unless pure devotee, how they are authorized?

Devotee (1): Does one have to be a pure devotee to be a...? The twelve authorities, are they all pure devotees?

Prabhupāda: Why do you ask this question? You have no sense. Without pure devotee, how they became authority? You are ask the question, "Is Mr. Rockefeller a rich man?" Your question is like that. He is known a very rich man, and he has foundation. If you ask, "Is he a rich man?" is that very intelligent question? Unless pure devotee, how they are authorized?

Srila Prabhupada is clearly saying unless one is a pure devotee he can never be authorized.So Srila Prabhupada never authorized the initial 11 to become  regular gurus.As none of them was a pure devotee.History has shown us how mostly all fell down and till today the gurus are falling down one by one.So by this it is clear they never were pure devotee as pure devotee never falls down under any circumstance.

"THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY THAT A FIRST-CLASS DEVOTEE WILL FALL DOWN, EVEN THOUGH HE MAY MIX WITH NONDEVOTEES TO PREACH"

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-Lila 22.71

SRILA PRABHUPADA ONLY APPOINTED THEM AS RITVIKS NOTHING ELSE
