Jayapataka Swami: I asked this kind of question of Srila Prabhupada. That he asked me to stay in Mayapur, he asked me to become an Indian citizen, so I told Srila Prabhupada, I liked the Indians, I like Mayapur Dhama. So I felt guilty that I was attached to these things. I thought that for the guru, we should accept anything. But he was asking me to do what I liked to do! So Srila Prabhupada replied, that you are lucky! You like to do what the guru asks you. But whether you like it or not, you should do what your guru asks! Ha! So, if one is attached to their service, they should not give it up, unless the guru asks him to do that. But if the guru asks you to do something else, then to stick to that service is kind of an offence. If you like doing a service guru asks you, then you are lucky. Haribol!
