751016b Conversation - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Johannesburg
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "when the body is dead, we cry that "My father is gone away," "My son is gone." But if I reply that, "Your father is lying on the bed. Why you're crying that your father has gone away?" what will be the reply? The father whom the son has seen since his birth, that body in the coat and pant, so that coat-pant and body is there on the bed, and why the son is crying, "My father has gone away"? What is the reply? What should be the reply?
Reporter: Well, I know what I would reply. I don't know what you would reply. Prabhupāda: No, I want what is your reply. Reporter: My reply would be that he hasn't gone, that he's gone to God. Prabhupāda: He . . .? He has not seen his father. That is my reply." |
