Conversation in Car

Prabhupāda:
…that is Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. But I am not that devotee. You are devotee. It is a fact. Kṛṣṇa supplies everything to the devotee’s comfort.

Dayānanda:
Left or right?

Ātreya Ṛṣi:
Right. Yes. Go down Jayapattim[?].

[break] Prabhupāda, in Vaiṣṇava temples, āśramas, do spiritual masters ever use the stick to rascal disciples?

Prabhupāda:
No. [laughs]

Ātreya Ṛṣi:
It is not customary at all?

Prabhupāda:
It is used for my personal friend.

Ātreya Ṛṣi:
But it would be nice, Śrīla Prabhupāda, once in a while…

Prabhupāda:
No. There was devotee, Nityānanda’s contemporary, he used to whip. And his whipping means as soon as he whips, the man becomes a devotee.
