Mercy of Guruji

P. L. Sethi : One day Prabhupadaji was slightly sick and Tamal Krishna was standing at the gate so that no one could enter to Prabhupadaji's quarters. My wife and I went there to take darshan of Guruji. So I said to Tamal Krishna, "I want to take darshan of Guruji." Tamal Krishna said that nobody was allowed to take darshan. Prabhupadaji heard my voice inside and Prabhupadaji called, "Tamal Krishna, Sethi is there?" Tamal Krishna said, "Yes." "Yes, allow him to come here." When I went inside, Guruji said to me, "Mr. Sethi, go see the entire flat and how the devotees have furnished my quarters." So I went and saw the bed and carpets, and the kitchen and bathroom were all very well furnished. I came back and said, "Guruji, this is very well furnished." And Guruji suddenly said, "You should come here and stay. I am a sannyasi. I don't want this decoration. I will go to another room." How kind of Guruji. Such an elevated guru was being so kind to me. I am nothing, but he loved me so much. So you see the mercy of Guruji.
