General Lectures

I had no desire to accept the sannyāsa order and preach, but my spiritual master wanted it. I am not very much inclined, but he forced me. That is also done. That is special favor. When he forced me, at that time I thought that, "What is this? What . . .? I am committing some mistake, or what is that?" I was puzzled. But a little after, I could understand that it is the greatest favor shown to me. You see?

690305 - Lecture - Day after Sri Gaura-Purnima - Hawaii

Devotee: . . . withdraw that independence, can we request Kṛṣṇa to force us to surrender to Him, due to our conditioning?

Prabhupāda: Yes, you can request Him. And He sometimes forces. He puts you in such circumstances that you have no other way than to surrender to Kṛṣṇa. Yes. That is special favor. That is special favor. Yes.

(pause) My spiritual master wanted me to preach, but I did not like it, but he forced me. Yes. That is my practical experience.

I had no desire to accept the sannyāsa order and preach, but my spiritual master wanted it. I am not very much inclined, but he forced me. That is also done. That is special favor. When he forced me, at that time I thought that, "What is this? What . . .? I am committing some mistake, or what is that?" I was puzzled. But a little after, I could understand that it is the greatest favor shown to me. You see?

So when Kṛṣṇa forces somebody to surrender, that is a great favor. But generally, He does not do so.
