So, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta [Sarasvatī Ṭhākura], he came here. This is the last place that he came before he left this world, in Kolkata, at the Bāg-bāzār Math, where we were at two days ago. And it was here, as Vaiśeṣika Prabhu was saying, that one gṛhastha devotee from Bombay at that time wrote him a letter and said, "Guru Mahārāja, I'm very unfortunate. I'm... I'm a gṛhastha. I can't do service like the brahmacārīs and sannyāsīs. What can I do?" And it was here that he got that letter, and it was here that he wrote a response to that gṛhastha devotee—his name was Abhay Caraṇāravinda. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta wrote him a letter back, and he said, "You should preach." And he said something which has always struck me. He said that when you preach, it'll be good for you and it'll be good for the people who help you. And I always thought, "How does he know anybody's going to help him?" And in that sense, I feel Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta predicted all of us, and this is really our home, where this movement really began. We're on a movement right now.
