Stop being sentimental

Gurukripa Dasa: Prabhupada had mentioned, "You are going to Lalita Prasad Thakura?" and I said, "Yes Prabhupada, you said he was a pure devotee." Then Prabhupada said "Phalena pariciyate, you must judge by the result." He was given Birnagar which he did develop into a nice place. Because at that time of Bhaktivinoda Thakura... After Bhaktivinoda Thakura left, there was a plague and in this Ulagram - which it was called then - there was a cholera plague, so many died, so everybody left that place. It’s a small place, and it became overgrown.

So when Lalit Prasad went back there, they removed the jungle and created this later, and he said "Look, he was given that. What he has done? And my Guru Maharaja was given Mayapur and he spread it all over the world. Stop being sentimental," he told me.

Even the book we had written from all his things, I threw away, because Prabhupada said, "Don’t go see him again."
