:yasya deve parā bhaktir
:yathā deve tathā gurau
:tasyaite kathitā hy arthāḥ
:prakāśante mahātmanaḥ
:(ŚU 6.23)
<p>This desire to serve guru is the qualification. Yasya deve para bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau. In the spiritual life, this is the secret of success. Yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā... In many places. Our Gauḍīya Matha people, those who were leaders, they wanted to supersede the order of Guru Mahārāja. Therefore it was failure. Very, very nice.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: They have painted that nice picture. It's special board.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All books are here?</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Oh, yes. Some are missing from the Seventh Canto, but most are here. Here is Caitanya-caritāmṛta. And if you have books you need, they can go down here, your reference books. I got you this little box here...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that?</p>
<p>Bhagavān: ...if you wanted to keep anything special. They used to make things for the princes. This is comfortable seat?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Very good.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Table is close enough?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Everything is comfortable. These stones are not available in India. Maybe; very costly. Italian.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: This is from Portugal. The white is from Italy. They have put the different marbles together. </p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Combination.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Very expert. They have also made your Vyāsasana.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That one. So this side, marble is cheaper?</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Yes, it's very..., it's not expensive.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh. They have done very nice this furniture. We cannot expect this furniture in India. They may make, but it will be very costly. (coughs) You bring one spittoon.</p>
<p>French devotee: Yes, we are waiting it.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: How many devotees are there?</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Hundred and fifty.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Very good. They are all happy?</p>
<p>Bhagavān: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Let them come and work little, grow food, eat and chant. Why should they bother going to the factory, running at five o'clock? Horrible life, horrible civilization. Motor accident, delayed, anxiety: "Oh, I am delayed, I am delayed." What is this civilization?</p>
<p>Bhagavān: He is taking over there. You take here?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All right, I shall begin there. Hare Kṛṣṇa. </p>
<p>(whispered discussion as devotees bring things in; looking for silver cup)</p>
<p>Devotee: Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Jaya. (end)</p>
