(Srila Prabhupada’s Morning Tour, 21/7/75, San Francisco)
Nārāyaṇa: So those disciples who don't have opportunity to see you or speak with you...
Prabhupāda: That he was speaking, vāṇī and vapuḥ. Even if you don't see his body, you take his word, vāṇī.
Nārāyaṇa: But how do they know they're pleasing you, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: If you actually follow the words of guru, that means he is pleased. And if you do not follow, how he can be pleased?
Sudāmā: Not only that, but your mercy is spread everywhere, and if we take advantage, you told us once, then we will feel the result.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Jayādvaita: And if we have faith in what the guru says, then automatically we'll do that.
Prabhupāda: Yes. My Guru Mahārāja passed in 1936, and I started this movement in 1965, thirty years after. Then? I am getting the mercy of guru. This is vāṇī. Even the guru is not physically present, if you follow the vāṇī, then you are getting help.
Sudāmā: So there's no question of ever separation as long as the disciple follows the instruction of guru.
Prabhupāda: No. Cakhu-dān dilo jei... What is that, next one?
Sudāmā: Cakhu-dān dilo jei, janme prabhu sei.
Prabhupāda: Janme prabhu sei. So where there is separation? Who has opened your eyes, he is birth after birth your prabhu.
