He is a rascal, but I think that he loves you.

Gurudas: We were invited to Gaurachandra Goswami's house for lunch, and Prabhupada asked me, "What do you think of Gaurachandra Goswami?" I said, "He is a rascal, but I think that he loves you." Prabhupada said, "That is how I feel. He has invited us to have lunch prasadam. We should go." So we were there, and Prabhupada was sliding his own bitten-from chapatis, puris, and subji onto my plate. He kept feeding me like that, which I thought was great. Then I would slide his prasadam onto somebody else's plate so that they could share the nectar. At the end of the meal Gaurachandra Goswami, who was almost blind, wanted to have a bidi. He tried to go behind the door to have his smoke, but he wasn't actually behind the door. He was in front of the door and acting sneaky. We had a good laugh, because he was so obvious. He was trying to sneak out and smoke.
