"Våmana Mahåråja, just as now, was very quiet and didn’t speak much, but my dear godbrother Trivikrama Mahåråja and myself were very talkative. We were always engaged in debating about this and that, and when Gurujî would become tired of us, he would say, “Take this book – the answer is there.” These days devotees don’t discuss topics of tattva much. Instead they speak about the type of clothing they wear and what kind of food they eat. When two Vaiß√avas meet, they should discuss tattva, and it was our great fortune to hear talks on bhakti-tattva from very learned devotees. But these days hardly anyone takes the time to discuss the meaning of the scriptures."
"One time Prabhupåda was being driven along in his car in Calcutta and he saw Vinoda resting under a tree with that money box placed under his head as a pillow. Tears came to his eyes and he said, “Such a beautiful young boy from a wealthy family, only eighteen years old; and for me, for the service of Bhagavån, he has left his parents and is undergoing such hardships?” When Gurudeva returned to the ma†ha that night, Prabhupåda called him and said, “Vinoda, you were sleeping on the ground at Garima†a? You are undergoing so much hardship.” Gurujî replied, “No, this hardship is a matter of great happiness if only you will be satisfied with me. This is my everything. What more could I desire? If the guru is pleased, then Bhagavån is pleased. There is nothing greater than this.”- Gurudev´s words in glorification of Paramgurupadpadma from His book "Prabandhavali" page 22, 26.
