how do they know they're pleasing you?

Narayana: So those disciples who don't have opportunity to see you or speak with you...

Prabhupada: That he was speaking, vani and vapuh. Even if you don't see his body, you take his word, vani.

Narayana: But how do they know they're pleasing you, Srila Prabhupada?

Prabhupada: If you actually follow the words of guru, that means he is pleased. And if you do not follow, how he can be pleased?

Sudama: Not only that, but your mercy is spread everywhere, and if we take advantage, you told us once, then we will feel the result.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Jayadvaita: And if we have faith in what the guru says, then automatically we'll do that.

Prabhupada: Yes. My Guru Maharaja passed in 1936, and I started this movement in 1965, thirty years after. Then? I am getting the mercy of guru. This is vani. Even the guru is not physically present, if you follow the vani, then you are getting help.

Sudama: So there's no question of ever separation as long as the disciple follows the instruction of guru.

Prabhupada: No. Cakhu-dan dilo jei... What is that, next one?

Sudama: Cakhu-dan dilo jei, janme janme prabhu sei.

Prabhupada: Janme janme prabhu sei. So where there is separation? Who has opened your eyes, he is birth after birth your prabhu.

Paramahamsa: You never feel any intense separation from your spiritual master?

Prabhupada: That you do not require to question. (end)
