71-07 “I am very sorry that you are separated from the temple for the time being. But don't worry. Krsna will save you, you can be sure. There is no doubt about it. So go on chanting Hare Krsna at all costs and never mind these tribulations of maya. Go on chanting Hare Krsna. Krsna is in your heart. Pray to Him for your protection and soon all things will be adjusted and you will again be in the association of devotees. Of that you can be sure.”
(SPL to Cidananda, 1stJuly, 1971)

71-10 “There is no question of leaving our Society. One may think like that but I cannot allow you to leave. That is my inspiration. Those who have left the Society I am always thinking of them. Especially for you there is no question of leaving. Stay in Melbourne and preach with steady determination. I am glad to learn that you are in steady correspondence with Karandhara and am sure he will give you all good direction. So don't be agitated by anyone's so-called demand but you stick to your preaching work, husband and wife, chanting and following the regulative principles. Don't be agitated by trifle things. Remain steady and go on with preaching work. Krsna will help you in every way.

I am so pleased with you that you have done so nicely in the service of the Lord to your best capacity. That is required. It is not that everyone should be equally expert. But the thing that is needed, is that we should be serious and sincere in our engagement. Nobody can adequately serve Krsna because Krsna is unlimited. But Krsna is so kind that even a small leaf or flower offered to Krsna by the poorest man in the world, Krsna accepts such thing. Krsna is so opulent that He is not even slightly benefited by any presentation but He is so kind and merciful that He accepts a little bit of leaf or flower or water from His devotees, and because a devotee comes to Him with such love and affection He becomes very much satisfied. As a father is always sorry for the son who is out of home, similarly Krsna is not very happy on account of so many bewildered fallen souls in the material world. He therefore comes personally to ask them to surrender again to Him. But the conditioned soul is so much illusioned that it is very hard to make him surrender to Krsna. Therefore each and every one of us, if we can give service to Krsna by making another man surrender to Krsna, then He will very much appreciate that service and that is our gain. Try to follow this principle and preach vigorously to your best capacity and everything will be all right. Don't worry.”
