Prabhupāda: Karyam, that one should take the order of the guru, because guru is the representative of Kṛṣṇa. So when one takes . . . that is explained by Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura in connection with the verse,
- vyavasāyātmikā buddhir
- ekeha kuru-nandana
- bahu-śākhā hy anantāś ca
- buddhayo 'vyavasāyinām
- (BG 2.41)
So the vyavasāyīs, those who are fixed up in the words of guru, so " Guru has ordered me to do it. Oh, that is my life. I do not know whether I will be promoted to heaven or hell. It doesn't matter. I shall execute."
Dr. Patel: Execute the order of the guru.
Prabhupāda: Guru. Yes. That is the secret. Yasya deve parā bhaktir tathā deve yathā gurau (ŚU 6.23). Then he is sure to be successful. This is the secret.
Dr. Patel:
- samo 'ham sarva-bhūteṣu
- na me dveṣyo 'sti na priyaḥ
- ye bhajanti tu māṁ bhaktyā
- mayi te teṣu cāpy aham
- (BG 9.29)
Prabhupāda: Just see. They bhajanti, and these rascals has announced, "This bhajana is nuisance." Just see. This is Kali-yuga, and this is our Indian government. Ye bhajanti māṁ teṣam. He is always associating with God. "I am always with him," ye bhajanti, and this rascal has remarked, "Bhajana nuisance." Catur-vidhā bhajante māṁ sukṛtino 'rjuna. These are the statements. But we are . . . we did not take any . . .
Dr. Patel: They are durācaris.
Prabhupāda: Yes. But we should have taken some step against this, the "Why you have said like this?" But nobody has taken.
