You cannot correct him. Otherwise obedience is the first discipline. If you do not obey the representative, authority, then there cannot be any discipline.
Room Conversation -- March 16, 1974, Vrndavana:
Prabhupāda: So long he is president you must follow him. If he is wrong, that will be corrected by the spiritual master.
Harikeśa: Right.
Prabhupāda: You cannot correct him. Otherwise obedience is the first discipline. If you do not obey the representative, authority, then there cannot be any discipline. Then everything will be topsy-turvy.
Harikeśa: You would rather have us follow the temple president...
Prabhupāda: Huh? Yes.
Harikeśa: ...than to...
Prabhupāda: If he is wrong, that cannot... He will come out.
Harikeśa: Ah.
Prabhupāda: So the steps will be taken by the spiritual master. You cannot, do not try to rectify.
