Taking Care of Krishna’s Devotees, p. 75
Prabhupada once said to his disciples: “If you love me, I’ll love you. It’s not very difficult to get my love. Just love me and I’ll love you; it won’t be very difficult for you.” Prabhupada showed his love in a very special way: he loved us first. Then he said, “If you love me, I’ll love you.” But there were no illusions in our hearts. We knew that the only way we could love Prabhupada so much was because he loved us first. Therefore it wasn’t so difficult to love Prabhupada. Prabhupada was just radiating his love for us and love for Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 9.5, Melbourne, April 24, 1976
I will give you again the same example, the government. The government, say, the university department, educational department, and the jail department. The jail department is also government department. It is not that government is absent from the jail department. Rather, government is spending more money for the jail department, more than the government spends on the university department. So both of them are government concern, but one department is full of criminals, and one department is full of learned scholars. This is the difference. Try to understand. You don't think that material world is out of the control of God. It is also under the control, exactly. The jail department is also under the control of the government. So that is the difference, material world and spiritual world. Material world means full of criminals, or against God, or defying the authority of God. And the spiritual world, everyone is accepting the supremacy of God. That is material world and spiritual world.
