Could You please explain to me the words of Swami Rama's guru?

[Smt. lakshmi lavanya K asked: Pada namaskaram swami, Long long ago I have read a book named "Swami Rama", In that book, one day Swami Rama has invited some out siders to meet his guru, then his guru told him "I am enjoying with my friend in my heart (నేను నా లోపలి స్నేహితునితో ఆనందిస్తున్నాను) alone, you have disturbed me by inviting outsiders", I think I am unable to truly understand these words, please explain me, and teach me how can I enjoy with the inner friend. Swami Rama also wants to distribute photos of his guru to people but his guru warned him not to distribute (నన్ను నువ్వు ప్రపంచంలో అమ్మకానికి పెడతాను అంటే నేను ఒప్పుకోను), I can't understand why he said like that. Could You please explain me. Pada namaskaram Swami.]

Swami replied:- This world (majority) is concentrating on God either existing in the upper world as energetic form or as formless God, with whom friendship can’t be made at all, or in feeling oneself (awareness) as God. In all these three ways, the devotee slips from the real God, who is just before his eyes in this world in human form. This slip is based on ego based jealousy towards co-human forms. Human beings are conquering everything except this repulsion between two common human media. Hanuman got the highest fruit (Brahma Loka) and the Gopikas got even higher than the highest fruit (Goloka). Both Hanuman and Radha are the incarnations of God Shiva, who came down to this earth to show the real spiritual path. Both worshipped their contemporary human incarnations (Rama and Krishna) only and not any energetic incarnation of upper worlds (like Vishnu, Shiva etc.) or worshipped one’s self as God. In the spiritual field, there is no question of a better example than Hanuman and Radha because there is not even an equal example to both of them. The efficiency of running towards the goal is not very important, but, the right direction towards the goal is the most important. Emotion becomes fruitful provided the right direction is selected through the right spiritual knowledge preached by the right spiritual preacher (Sadguru), who is the contemporary human incarnation of the ultimate God.
