> "Don't think that Krsna and Prabhupada are so ungrateful to you, that you

> have given up your life to KC and They won't give you everything. Don't

> think that.

>

> We have not accepted such an ungrateful Guru that is only going to take

> services and spoil your material life and not give you KC. Prabhupada is

> not such a person.

>

> And if we feel lucky as Srila Prabhupada's sons and daughters, then

> remember what he said:

>

> 'Father is not so kind as the Grandfather - so these grandchildren....they

> don't get more mercy but get 'softer mercy'. because the father can be a

> little tough but the grandfather's dealings aren't tough, he is so soft.

> So the grandchildren get easy time'.

>

> We have our grandfather - Srila Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati and Prabhupada

> said he was very very strict, but he said he won't be strict with you. And

> he said whenever I am away, you are getting mercy from Srila

> Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati.

>

> So this is our Guru-Varga and we should have a lot of confidence.

> Unlimited confidence. I have unlimited confidence in Prabhupada.

>

> So you give your life for serving Guru and Gauranga, and you will get

> everything. Krsna is always going to reciprocate. We should make every

> effort but expect Krsna's mercy at every moment.

>

> Suppose you only did bhakti 80%, do you think Krsna is sitting there with

> a calculator? Is that what our God is? Is that what someone who loves you

> does? That's a business deal !!!.

>

> Krsna is not a businessman. Krsna is bhakata-vatsal. So He says, never

> mind 80% , 70%...finished..., We clear away all the difference. Here is

> the balance...now come back to Me.

>

> I have a strong faith, that Prabhupada will do this for us. I have a very

> strong faith Prabhupada will do that for us. I remember on Prabhupada's

> dissapperance day. One of the very senior Guru and Brahmin of Vrndavan

> came to speak and he said at that time: You don't realize who your guru

> maharaj is. He is an initimate associate of Radha and Krsna. You don't

> realise how an important personality he is and was amongst you.

>

> That person who is with Radha and Krsna right now, do you think we have

> any worry? I don't think so !!!.

>

> We do our best, but Prabhupada is going to do the rest. He will not be

> neglectful. I have never seen Prabhupada to be neglectful. Never seen such

> a thing.

>

> So let us pray that what Prabhupada came for - to spread KC to the world.

> Let us pray that we fully get that KC. Let there be no other goal in life.

> Everthing else is of little value. This is - KC - the real goal."
