Prabhupada's right in everything!

Harivilas: I was invited to his room to receive the brahminical initiation, the Gayatri mantra. I was really excited. I walked into the room and offered my obeisances. Prabhupada motioned to me and said, "Come closer." I went as close as I thought I should be. He said, "Come closer." He made me sit right next to him, and then he gave me a piece of paper with the Gayatri mantra on it. He said, "Come a little closer," and he began to repeat the words of the mantra close to my ear. It was very intimate. We were alone in the room. He began to speak to me, saying, "So, you are leaving?" I said, 'Yes, Prabhupada.' I was going to leave the next morning. He said, "So you are going by Cale?" I was wondering, 'Why is he saying this? How does he even know about Cale?' Cale is a port on the French coast, the North Sea coast. I was going from Dover to Bologne. I said, 'No, Prabhupada, not Cale. The Hovercraft doesn't go from Dover to Cale.' He said, "You are sure?" I said, 'Yes, Prabhupada. You are wrong.' Then I realized what I was saying. I was telling Prabhupada that he was wrong. I felt that I shouldn't say that. He looked at me and smiled. "That's all right." I said, 'Thank you very much,' and offered my obeisances. He said, "Thank you very much. You continue pursuing the work in Paris." So I went. I kept thinking, 'Why did I say 'no' to Prabhupada? I should not have said anything.' When I got to Dover there was an announcement: "Ladies and gentlemen, due to rough seas today, the Hovercraft will not be going to Bologne." I was a little bit surprised. 'The Hovercraft will be going to Cale today.' I said, 'Oh, no! What a fool I am.' Prabhupada had asked me, "Are you sure?" And I kept insisting, 'Yes, I am sure.' I remember that very vividly.
