Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Almost Everyday, Haridasa Prabhu too would go to the city to make members and collect donations. One evening, after a long, hard day in the city. Haridasa returned to Juhu. Unfortunately nobody had saved prasada for him. Frustrated and upset, Haridasa went upstairs to see Srila Prabhupada. He went into Srila Prabhupada's room, threw his beads on Srila Prabhupada's desk, and told Srila Prabhupada, "I quit." "What happened?" "I went out all day to make life members and no one was interested." "Don't worry," Srila Prabhupada replied. "Just be patient. When the new temple opens, people will stand in queue to become life members." Then Haridasa began to complain about the foreign devotees, how he was going out to preach all day and they didn't even save prasada for him. Prabhupada replied, "Practically only they have come forward to help me. They are giving service, so we have to tolerate. Sometimes when you go to milk a cow, the cow kicks you - but you tolerate, because you want the milk." - From the "Watering the Seed" by HH Giriraja Swami Maharaja Please Chant: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare And Be Happy Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
