Prabhupada says Devotee is Crook

Srutakirti Dasa : Prabhupada asked, "So, is the devotee simple or crooked?" One of his disciples said, "Oh, he is simple, Srila Prabhupada." Prabhupada said, "Are you sure the devotee is simple?" The disciple said, "Yes, Srila Prabhupada, the devotee is simple." Prabhupada said, "No, the devotee is crooked. Just like me. I have come here and tricked all of you into becoming Krishna's devotees." We come to Krishna consciousness to enjoy, but we can do that only if we give everything to Krishna for His enjoyment. Srila Prabhupada's trick is that he offers us Krishna, but we can have Him only when we surrender everything.
