You may take it as such--that is your prerogative as a free spirit. But I

take Srila Prabhupada's own statements--for example, that every word in his

books was chosen very carefully because "It is document," and that Krsna

would personally come and dictate purports to him, etc.--as the highest

truth. On that basis, when Srila Prabhupada says, "However great a woman may

be, she must be ready to carry out her husband's orders and please him in

all circumstances. Then her life will be successful" I take that as perfect

instruction for the kala-patra-desa in which we now happen to live.

 

I don't mind if others may take me to be a brainwashed cult member because I

believe wholly and solely in such statements as the above. They can go to

hell... or heaven!--as the case may be--and I may go wherever my blind faith

in such statements will take me.

concentrate on your own field of endeavor. Have you reached perfection yet?

In their next life they'll be born as women, serve their husbands nicely, and

then go Back to Godhead. In this way, Krsna will fulfil all their Vedic

desires.
