Letters of Srila Prabhupada.
70-02 70-02 “Anyone who is a newcomer should be allowed some concession. And
after some time when he is accustomed to our principle, then we can make the
screw tight. I think this point will be sufficient hint to deal with him.”
70-03 “Lord Nityananda is guru. He can instruct us, but ultimately it
depends on the disciple. A doctor may say, ‘Do this,’ ‘Do not do this,’ but if the patient does not follow the prescription, what is the result? Similarly,
Nityananda Prabhu will hear the prayer of an insincere rascal, if that rascal
actually wants to change his condition. One must agree not to be a rascal any
more, then his rascaldom can be reformed. Jagai and Madhai begged the Lord
for His mercy and they were prototype rascals, drunkards and debauchees.
Lord Caitanya told them ‘First you stop your nonsense activities, then I will
accept you.’ So a rascal may be accepted provided he agrees to stop his
nonsenses. Otherwise, how can one expect to be reformed if he does not agree
or like to be reformed? To be reformed, he must agree to the reforming
process.” |
