Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

They are not accustomed to certain type of duty. They are devotee, after all. So still, we have to do something, so one man requires little training. But whatever capacity he has got, he is posted. So immediate change, that is not very good management. Let him be reformed, and whatever inability he has got, he should be instructed.

Sarva-bhāvana: Well, there won't be any change, Prabhupāda. And they were not satisfied with that change, so . . . and they wanted to remain in that particular service.

Change them, immediate change, that is not good management, and to make him competent in that way, that is management. So this policy should be followed, not that because he has done something not correctly he should be changed immediately. That will not help. Now discuss this point.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Actually we can solve it ourselves. I don't know why they came to you in the first place, because our whole business is to relieve you of all problems.

Prabhupāda: Yes but . . .

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We should not think that if we are Indians we can have a special access to you.

Prabhupāda: So do, do it. What is that? Ta . . .
