If we said anything like that, there would be a riot
Nischintya: Prabhupada had a unique ability to chastise people or point out their folly or their lowness. The way he said it, you didn’t take any offense, you felt, “Oh, okay.” Once Prabhupada was walking in Hawaii, and he said that because the people there ate so many pigs they looked like pigs. Some Hawaiians heard Prabhupada say that and they wanted to talk to him about it. Prabhupada explained to them how they’re a soul, how they’re not their body but that there are different kinds of bodies and the bodies look different, and as he talked to them they became happy. They realized Prabhupada wasn’t offensive. They were enveloped in Prabhupada’s love and his spiritual instructions. We were thinking, “Only Prabhupada can do things like that. If we said anything like that, there would be a riot.”
