Out of Thousands of men may be one is interested

Uttamasloka Dasa : Prabhupada asked me, "Are you distributing books? Is that going well?" I said, "Yes, Prabhupada. We're distributing a lot of books." I gave him the figures, which were impressive. He said, "You're distributing books, but are you reading them too?" I said, "Oh yes, Prabhupada. Every day we have four classes." I explained that we daily alternated Nectar of Devotion and Nectar of Instruction classes. We also had Srimad-Bhagavatam classes, and at night Krishna Book, Caitanya-caritamrta, and Bhagavad-gita. He was very happy to hear that. A big smile came over his face, and, almost surprised, he said, "Oh, thank you very much." I had pleased him, and I was washed with an incredible feeling of satisfaction. He said, "The devotees, they're coming?" I said, "Well, not really. Maybe every six months a few people join." He said, "That's all right. Manushyanam sahasreshu kaschid yatati siddhaye. Out of many thousands among men, maybe one is interested. And out of thousands of those, maybe one becomes a devotee. So that's all right."
