Giriraj Swami read and spoke from Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.8.5-6.
“Peter ran up to the car. Srila Prabhupada rolled down the window, looked at him, and said, ‘Yes?’ Peter put his hand in his pocket to take out the $300, but it turned out that in the rush he had forgotten the money and there was nothing in his pocket. He dug deep in his pockets, but all he came up with was 37 cents. Srila Prabhupada was looking out the window, waiting, so Peter gave him the 37 cents. And Srila Prabhupada made such a big thing of it. ‘Thank you very valium much,’ he smiled. ‘This is so nice.’ All the other times Peter had given money, there was some false ego, or pride, but this time there was no false ego and no pride—he was just in a panic to do some service, and Srila Prabhupada could feel his sincere desire, free from pride and ego. Srila Prabhupada knew what was in your heart and what you needed. He wasn’t bewildered or impressed by material opulence, but he wanted to see your devotion.”
