1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Organize this center very nicely. So many people will be happy.
Arrival at Farm -- July 29, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm):

Bhagavan: These are all smelling flowers. They're very sweet, like gardenia.

Prabhupada: Oh, developed(?) in our garden.

Bhagavan: No, we bought. These we cannot grow. We bought these special.

Prabhupada: You have got a greenhouse?

Bhagavan: Yes.

Prabhupada: Still you cannot grow?

Bhagavan: It was too late, we started too late.

Prabhupada: Last time I stayed in this room?

Bhagavan: No, you stayed in another room. You stayed in my office. This is silk wallpaper.

Prabhupada: Oh.

Bhagavan: Saffron.

Prabhupada: Organize this center very nicely. So many people will be happy.

Bhagavan: The devotees are very ecstatic.

Prabhupada: Oh. Yes, there was no hope for my coming. Now I've come, they must be. (laughter) Sunshine will stay at least up to noon, huh?

Bhagavan: No, till five o'clock.

Prabhupada: Accha?

Bhagavan: Yes. It is going like this. It goes from this room into your room. All day long it is lit. They said it was hot in this room until six o'clock last night, very hot. If you'd like, I can show you how to use some things in the bathroom.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Bhagavan: All the taps, they are the same. The red here, this is hot. All you do is lift up. (break) And the cows are also coming here, you can see later. These are all big oak trees, they are very nice.

Prabhupada: Harikesa, have you came here?

Harikesa: Yes.

Bhagavan: All the marble, I had it made in Italy especially for you. This is all lotus flower carving they have done. And the bookshelves also.

Prabhupada: This also marble?

Bhagavan: Yes.

Prabhupada: Oh!

Bhagavan: Everything is designed for Prabhupada.

Prabhupada: So I can use this closet?

Bhagavan: All these are closets. These are many pillows, if people come, they can sit.

Prabhupada: Oh, yes. Very nice, so you can keep here. (break)

Hari-sauri: It's coming in a few minutes. Have to order that. Tapioca.

Prabhupada: Is there any store near here?

Bhagavan: Yes.

Prabhupada: Not immediately. Just or you have got barley powder?

Bhagavan: They are getting this morning. They are taking it to get ground.

Prabhupada: Immediately, there is no stock?

Bhagavan: No.

Prabhupada:

yasya deve para bhaktir
yatha deve tatha gurau
tasyaite kathita hy arthah
prakasante mahatmanah
(SU 6.23)

This desire to serve guru is the qualification. Yasya deve para bhaktir yatha deve tatha gurau. In the spiritual life, this is the secret of success. Yasya deve para bhaktir yatha... In many places. Our Gaudiya Matha people, those who were leaders, they wanted to supersede the order of Guru Maharaja. Therefore it was failure. Very, very nice.

Bhagavan: They have painted that nice picture. It's special board.

Prabhupada: All books are here?

Bhagavan: Oh, yes. Some are missing from the Seventh Canto, but most are here. Here is Caitanya-caritamrta. And if you have books you need, they can go down here, your reference books. I got you this little box here if you want to keep anything special. They used to make things for the princes. This is comfortable seat?

Prabhupada: Oh, yes. Very good.
