"If the guru says, that's a rope, pick it up".....and the disciple says back to Sri guru," gurudev, that is not a rope lying on the ground, it is a snake, and its bite could hurt you or I very much"...truly the guru would be so appreciative . He would be so happy that he had a disciple who understood his heart.....a disciple who was willing to take the risk of not following blindly, to be able to consider, with deepest repsect, what is in my gurus best interest. - Bhaktivedanta Narayan Maharaj
