Guru Kripa: Prabhupada instructed to me to collect money because I’d shown that I had an ability to do that. I thought I would collect some money and go on my way, but Srila Prabhupada told me, “You collect because the other leaders have local projects and do not give me money.” Prabhupada said there were two types of devotees, the second class ones who say, “I want to serve Krishna this way.” To them Srila Prabhupada said, “Yes, do that.” And the first-class devotees who say, “I am a fool, I don’t know anything. Tell me.” Prabhupada could instruct that type of devotee. Prabhupada knew how to do everything. He is the representative of the Supersoul. Once he said, “If I had eighteen good men, I could take over the world.”
