"Prabhupada asked me to give relief from management, as far as possible, so he

could concentrate on chanting and translating Srimad Bhagavatam. “What can I

do, Prabhupada”, I said . “I am simply a fool, you will have to give me then

intelligence.” Srila Prabhupada answered , “As long as you remain a fool, then

I an instruct you; but when you think you are very intelligent, then nothing is

possible!"
