Disciple has to obey follow discipline, or he is no disciple

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: On the walk he inspected the small garage being built for his car. When Pusta Krishna didn't understand his request for a shelf, he said he had no brain. He brought out the philosophic argument ISKCON leaders have with Siddha-svarupa, who is here. Both sides claim they are right. Srila Prabhupada said, "Let me say what is right. Then you have to follow it, agreed?" Yes!

He said, "a disciple has to obey, follow discipline, or he is no disciple. He has to voluntarily agree to follow, can't be forced. But he has to accept the rule whether he likes it or not. Like C.R. Das of Congress party who didn't want to give up his law practice, but Congress party said he had to."
