1. Why don’t you read my books?

    I remember a lecture that was given once on the anniversary of your disappearance day by one of your disciples. He was remembering how you had once scolded him for not reading your books. You had said, "Why don't you read my books? Even I read them when I have spare time. Why do you think I read them? Do you think that these books were written by me? No! They were written by Krsna. That's why I read them. Every time when I start writing, Krsna comes and sits beside me. He inspires each and every word that I write down. These books are not ordinary writings! This is transcendental literature!"
