Question: In regards to assimilating sinful reactions of disciples, what's your experience?

Excerpt from the answer:

My experience is very practical, and that is that when you enter into any relationship, there's going to be a deep concern for the other person. For instance, I'll give you an example: Rādhanāth Swāmī, he has a few disciples, and recently, when I was speaking to him, he had been consoling a lot of people: before they were dying, while they were dying, then the families after, and practically just one after another.

And he said, "Yeah, that's a thing when you have disciples, because some of them die," and, I mean, they all do eventually, but maybe not before you, and then you're part of that. It's heart-wrenching when somebody you love passes away. And in the meantime, before that comes, when you're connected deeply to people who you care about in a spiritual relationship, they go through changes. You know, they make vows, and then they say, "Oh, I can't follow the vows now." Or they say, "You know, this happened in my life, and what do I do about that? Such and such hit me," and that keeps you up all night. I mean, I don't know about dreams, but definitely people calling late in the night with a text saying, "What do I do now? I got locked out of the house," or something like that. I mean, that's real-life experience of what happens. So, you know, it's on a very practical level.

When we love people, we have a deep relationship where we're part of their lives, and they're part of our lives, and that's something, you know, you want to take on if you love somebody and you want to help them. But you have to go through it with them. It's not compartmentalized. It's part of your life. They're part of your life, and you're part of theirs. And that's an all-encompassing experience. That's my experience of it.
