760119 - Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Mayapur

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Nṛsiṁha-deva wanted to give him (Prahlad Maharaj) benediction, blessings, "Whatever you like." He refused that. He said that "I am not a mercantile devotee that I'll get some benefit from You, but first benediction I want that let me engage in the service of Your servant, Nārada Muni." Tava bhṛtya-sevām (SB 7.9.28). "Because my spiritual master gave me blessing, therefore I see You. So my first business is to serve him." This is Vaiṣṇava conclusion. So he refused direct service, but he wanted blessing that he may be engaged in the service of his spiritual master. This is Vaiṣṇava conclusion."
