- I give the suffering portion to Christ, and let me go on committing all sinful activities. - But that will not be. That is not a fact
- I receive so many letters daily from people expressing how they have found hope in Krsna consciousness. Therefore, it is not a fact that Krsna descended here merely to collect some servants. Rather, He descended for our benefit
