Disciples must balance guru's desires with medical wisdom while maintaining unwavering devotion and surrender.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: What is the news? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: What you are going to say? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What are we going to do?
Bhakti-caru: Going to say. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What am I going to say?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, the real factor is Your Divine Grace's desire. I mean, it seems like... You know, our, as your disciples, our duty is to help you fulfill your desire.
It seems like your desire is to die in Vṛndāvana. But it's very hard for us to execute that service. It's very hard—because we love you—to assist you in dying. It's a paradox.
You want to die in Vṛndāvana, and we want you to live, and yet we have to do whatever you want. I mean, the kavirāja, he is giving some... He feels a little confident. Probably from medical point of view, there's no doubt, he has far superior knowledge than any of us.
Prabhupāda: Viśvambhara has not yet...? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. Viśvambhara has not come yet, Śrīla Prabhupāda. I mean for the past few days you've been saying that you want to live. Now suddenly you say that you want to die.
