Rukmini: Prabhupada’s servant, Nanda Kumar, came out of Prabhupada’s room one day shaking his head in bewilderment. He said to me, “Prabhupada said an amazing thing. He said that I’m too creative to be a good servant and that I should do business.” At that time I thought, “What’s creative about business?” I was surprised and Nanda Kumar was also surprised, but now that I’m doing business, in retrospect I can see how right Prabhupada is—business really is creative. I have often mentioned that to people.
