Poor Surabhi

Srutakirti das : There was one morning walk after the installation, and the temple was beautiful and it looked so beautiful. Tamal Krishna Maharaj was there and he said, "Prabhupada, Surabhi has really done a wonderful job." Prabhupada chuckled and he said, "Yes, everyone is saying Surabhi has done so nice, but all I do is chastise him. But that's my duty, I'm his spiritual master."
 
And when he said that, all the ideas I had about, oh, I used to think, "Poor Surabhi," and you just could understand. Prabhupada was always pushing us and if we were able to handle that and deal with it, you could make so much advancement in Krishna consciousness because with this pushing always came a lot of blessings. Whatever we could do was because of Prabhupada's blessings.
