One day, while Srila Prabhupada was taking his massage on the balcony in Calcutta, I humbly approached him. `Srila Prabhupada, I have been trying to understand what you want of us, what your desire is.’

Srila Prabhupada was so pure he took every word into his heart. `Yes?’

`Two things seem to please you the most,’ I offered. `Distributing your books and building the big temple in Mayapur.’

Prabhupada’s face lit up, his eyes opened wide, and he smiled. `Yes, You have understood.’
