Cc Madhya 16.65-149

------------------------------------------------------------

What I have noted is, some people are more oriented towards Vāṇī and some are more oriented towards Vapu, naturally. I have seen it in God-brothers, and others have observed it also, and partly situationally. Brahmananda, for instance, and others were so... of course, they were there as the situation unfolded with Prabhupāda. But when he left, if you tell them, "Well, just take shelter of Vāṇī," it's almost like when Kṛṣṇa told the Gopis, "You know, just meditate." They couldn't grab that, because they were just so dependent on Prabhupāda's personal presence in their life. And there are some that, it seems to me, are more inclined to that.

Then, of course, to your question, it's a matter of realization, because when we are serving, and while we are serving intensely and we feel the reciprocation of our spiritual master and Kṛṣṇa from within, then we may have a taste to do that more. I mean, that's kind of one of the most obvious statements anybody ever made, but that's what happens.

I remember circa 1975 in Māyāpur, when Rohiṇīsūta and Maṇidhar—they were two distributors who were prolific in book distribution—and I think it was Rohiṇīsūta who didn't come. Maybe both of them didn't come to the festival. Prabhupāda asked where they were, and they said they wanted to stay and do more. And Prabhupāda approved of it, even though he had told everybody he wanted everyone to come to Māyāpur and Vṛndāvan, because he understood that they had a taste and they wanted to do it. So it's based on our own personal taste and realization.
