So I was thinking, What is this?

[Guest guest]

In the beginning, it appears to be very bitter. When I took sannyäsa, when I

was living alone, I was feeling very bitter. I, sometimes I was thinking,

"Whether I have done wrong by accepting?" So when I was publishing this Back

to Godhead from Delhi, one day one bull thrashed me, and I fell down on the

footpath and I got severe injury. I was alone. So I was thinking, "What is

this?" So I had very, days of very tribulations, but it was all meant for

good. So don't be afraid of tribulations. You see? Go forward. Krsna will

give you protection. That is Krsna's promise in the Bhagavad-gita. Kaunteya

pratijanihi na me bhakta pranasyati: [bg. 9.31] "Kaunteya, My dear son of

Kunti, Arjuna, you can declare throughout the whole world that My devotees

will never be vanquished. You can declare that."
