Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Everyone should remember that we are serving Kṛṣṇa, and everyone should remember, "The other person is serving Kṛṣṇa. And because he is serving Kṛṣṇa, he is not my servant; he is my master." That should be always in view. Therefore we address, "prabhu": "You are my master." We never address, "You are my servant." We are trained up to say my brother, that "prabhu," "such and such prabhu." Prabhu means master. Nobody think himself that he is master. He should always think that everyone is his master because he's serving the master. This is our philosophy. So in this way... Now you have got good arrangement and they're all intelligent persons, young persons.


Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We can settle it ourselves instead of bringing it to Prabhupāda. Jaya Srila Prabhupada.

Akṣayānanda: I don't think there's any great difficulty, Prabhupāda.

Mahāvīra: Actually, we've been speaking the last few days, and these problems can be solved.

Prabhupāda: No, it is Kṛṣṇa's service. Everyone is offering voluntary service. So not that anyone is paid, and if he cannot, dismiss or . . . yes. This bureaucracy is not . . . train him. Train him. If he does not know, train him. But things must be done very nicely by cooperation. That is wanted.

Akṣayānanda: All good people are here.

Prabhupāda: So kindly settle up and do nice things. That I want to see. That's all. He is also present. At that time he was not present. So go and . . .

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.

(devotees offer obeisances)

Prabhupāda: You should always remember that you are helping me. Without your help I cannot do anything. So you do not be disturbed. Try to help me. That is my request. Thank you very much.

Devotees: Jaya Srila Prabhupada.
