You must love me!

Umapati Swami: Before I left with Hanuman, a Canadian devotee, to open a temple in Paris, we went on a morning walk where Prabhupada explained that love requires freewill. Prabhupada said, "If you want somebody to love you, they must do it by their free will. You cannot force somebody to love you." Then he grabbed me by the shoulders, shook me and said, "You cannot say, You must love me! You must love me! You must love me!" Prabhupada was very powerful.
