Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita:
"The living entity in this material world carries his different conceptions of life as the air carries aromas." (Bg. 15.8)
By your mercy, we learned that we are traveling from universe to universe, from planet to planet, accepting different types of bodies according to our desires for sense pleasures. We were born, grew old, became diseased and had to die again and again, millions and millions of times-who can estimate the number? Not only that, but the human form of life is very rare. Who knows how often we have missed the point-to give up the attempt to enjoy material nature independently and surrender unto a pure devotee of the Supreme Lord?
One day we were waking in a particular universe, on a particular planet, in a particular town, on a particular street, hearing the wonderful unknown sound vibrations of young people in saffron robes chanting Hare Krsna. They were your disciples, distributing the message of Lord Caitanya to Jagai and Madhai. The living entity is an eternal servant of Krsna and by forgetting this eternal relationship has become crazy and is transmigrating under different conceptions of life from body to body, simply following the fruitless restlessness of his mind. But by chanting the holy name of Krsna and engaging under the guidance of the spiritual master, the living entity can change his conception of life, giving up love for matter and developing love for Krsna. In this way he can go back home, back to Godhead.
Srila Prabhupada, we are forever indebted to you. We can't find the right words to express our gratitude, thinking that every word we may say is just false whether it sounds humble or not.
So we shall just go on following your instructions-chanting Hare Krsna, going on sahkirtana in the streets, distributing your literature and trying to please you, despite our incapacity.
