An atheist sees God as death

Satsvarupa Dasa: Seeing Prabhupada in New Dvaraka, I felt very small. I was dressed in white. When I led a kirtana Vishnujana said I should not pause so long in between phrases. He said, "Every moment should be filled with music." At that time Karanadhara was working with a jackhammer, building a garden for Prabhupada. We stayed out Friday night on harinama in Hollywood, then went to a park the next day. And Prabhupada lectured at the Sunday Feast. What did he do, what did he say? He said householders should come to worship the Deity in the temple. He asked a wife to live apart from her husband so she could type for ISKCON Press in Boston. He said, "Service is more important than marriage." He said I could quit my welfare job to spend more time in the temple. And I remember him standing by the picture where Baby Krishna is being dragged in the mud. He hadn't planned to stop and speak there he was just walking out of the room and the picture caught his eye. So with us close behind, he turned smiling with pleasure and said, "An atheist sees God as death, and a devotee sees God like this." Prabhupada was like that.
