All the time He was a humble servant of Krishna
Jagadatri Dasi : Prabhupada was visiting the Dallas gurukula when we had one of the most ecstatic kirtans I've ever experienced. Vishnujana Swami was there, along with many others. Everyone was five feet off the ground. Jayatirtha was flying in the air and twirling on the way down, while waves of devotees were running back and forth. There was a great feeling permeating the entire room. Then I thought in a demoniac way, "Everybody loves Prabhupada, everybody's worshiping Prabhupada. I want to see if he's really transcendental." The affection, love and honor that everybody was giving to Srila Prabhupada was palpable. I thought, "I want to see what he does." So, after the kirtan was over and everybody was paying obeisances, I sat up and looked at him. I wanted to see his expression—if he was gloating from the worship. He glanced to the other side of the room, then he glanced at me, and in a fraction of a second I was shocked that I could be so gross and fallen. I immediately knew that he was totally transcendental and not bothered by worship. And I could see that he was embarrassed for me. It was a great lesson for my stone-like heart to see that all the time he was a humble servant of Krishna.
