Do you really want me to do this service?
But then later in Geneva, very animatedly he was talking about the need for a library party. "Who is going to do this? We need this. We need our books distributed all over the world. We need a library party, but no one is doing this. So who will do this?" I was in the room and I said, "I'll do it." He said, "Well, then do it."
Then I left the room and I was with the other sannyasis and I said, "Well, I guess I've got this new service," and they said, "Yes. Well, you've wanted some new service, so now you have a new service." Then later I said to him, "Do you really want me to do this service?" and Prabhupada said, "Yes, you can do it. Get some other brahmacharis and do this. But you have to get a replacement for your servant duties. I think you can get Brahmananda Swami, see if he'll do it." So they found out if he could replace me, and he said he wanted to do it.
