A Vaishnava lives philosophically and also by the heart

Satsvarupa Dasa: During one of Prabhupada's visits to Boston, Patita Uddharana gave him a gift-wrapped box and said, "This is from my mother for you." Prabhupada opened it and unfolded a first-class white sweater. Prabhupada said, "Here, you may take it," and he gave it back to his disciple. "Oh no, Swamiji," said Patita Uddharana,"it's for you." Prabhupada insisted on giving him the sweater and everyone loved the gesture. When we remember these things decades later, it's like a healthful massage. A Vaishnava lives philosophically and also by the heart.
