Sam reflects on guru responsibility and disciple commitment, recounting time with Srila Prabhupada in 1977. He argues that gurus suffer when disciples don't follow through seriously, and that real Krishna Consciousness practice itself is atonement for past mistakes.
Sam, it's it. I don't know exactly why I was under a lot of shock that night. Very carefully follow their dogs. Then it will be a great service. Non disciples of territory and so that the pressure is there. I was very grateful. So I want to thank everyone for doing that. I was with Srila Prabhupada I was with Srila Prabhupada 1977. In 1977. And Prabhupada lifted up his arm. And Prabhupada lifted up his arm. The tongue was emaciated with only skin. That of it was emaciated only skin and bones. This is because of taking too many unqualified disciples. He said this is because of taking too many unqualified disciples. So I become like this. So I become like this. So how? Somehow the guru has to pay for the disciples that don't follow. Somehow the guru has to pay for the disciples that don't follow. Sometimes you think that this thought doesn't really happen. But according to Prabhupada it happens. Sometimes it doesn't really happen. But according to Prabhupada it happens. Sometimes we think it doesn't happen. So that is part of the reason comparing to our illness, it's a part of our occupational hazard. So that's a reason contributing to my illness. Then that's an occupational hazard. Achieve Ka consciousness. If they are not initiated, then they won't be able to achieve Ka consciousness. So we have the race Shivka 4 rings. So we have the basic 4 ranks. Patrick Numerator and if the devotees are following up and if the devotees are following, then of the Rajita following forehead we assume that they're qualified for initiation. Then we assume that they're qualified for initiation. So later if they stop following, what can we do about it? So later if they stop following, what can we do about it? Krishna Consciousness There is no atonement. For Krishna Consciousness there is no atonement. Ka consciousness is the self. The girl is atonement. Krishna consciousness itself is the greatest atonement. So everyone should practice it very seriously. So everyone should practice it very seriously. I heard that when I was sick a lot of devotees became more serious with their chanting. Prevention is better than cure. So very sincerely we for them that will avoid this kind of difficulty. So if they practice very seriously beforehand, that will avoid this kind of difficulty. Also there are six disciples who are following me. Teachings are coming and also help.
