The razor's edge

Srutakirti Dasa: Whenever Srila Prabhupada came out of his Juhu flat for his morning walk all of the assembled devotees chanted, "Jai, Srila Prabhupada!" and offered obeisances. All, except for one brahmachari who remained standing with folded hands. With his cane in hand Srila Prabhupada began walking. Looking straight ahead he said, "That is the beginning of his fall down." Many times he spoke of this process as "the razor's edge." That morning he demonstrated just how sharp that razor was. The devotee was not conscious of his actions. We cannot be Krishna conscious if we are not conscious. Srila Prabhupada, I beg for your mercy so I may always be conscious of you and your service to the Supreme Lord.
