Water for cheating the customer.
Water for cheating the customer.
— Dear Devotees, In the following "Water for cheating the customer", His Divine Grace expressed his fear in 1972, and very few heard what he had to say. When I say 'heard' I mean followed his lead, or to say it in another way, tried to calm their Guru's fear. Instead, as well all know, self-ambition drove them in another direction.
Dandavats,

"Now we have got so many students and so many temples but I am fearful that if we expand too much in this way that we shall become weakened and gradually the whole thing will become lost. Just like milk. We may thin it more and more with water for cheating the customer, but in the end it will cease to be any longer milk.Better to boil the milk now very vigorously and make it thick and sweet, that is the best process. So let us concentrate on training our devotees very thoroughly in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness from our books, from tapes, by discussing always, and in so many ways instruct them in the right propositions."
- AC Bhaktivendata Swami -1972
