71-11 “I am very pleased that you are determined to rectify whatever may have been done in the past, in order to push on in Krsna consciousness, to a very bright future. Never mind the past. Now you appear very enthusiastic to work in Europe, and that spirit of working in this way is very encouraging. So now you organize everything with Hamsaduta and your Godbrothers there so that this movement may be spread very effectively in Europe. For a long time our centers in Europe have been suffering for want of literature and so many things. But now I see that in England things are going very nicely, and Hamsaduta writes to me that everything is improving in Germany, and I hear that new centers are being opened. This is all very good news to me, because I consider that these Western countries are the most important field for our work. So now do this work in a gradually progressive manner, and do not be concerned too much even there may be some temporary set-backs. Because we are in this material world we are not perfect, and so these setbacks are natural occurrences and we should not be too much disturbed by them.”
