Listen "Where to Draw the Line Between Being Responsible and Being Possessive?"
Episode Synopsis
Sometimes even in Krishna consciousness, the persons in a position and they become so materially entrenched in that position that they think it's totally spiritual.

It was unbelievable and you can't do that without taking total responsibility. It wasn't that he was just, “Oh! Krishna, you're in control, I'll do what I feel like doing.” He was working, he was struggling, he was sacrificing, he was anything if it took total suffering, anxieties, headaches, he was willing to do it because he was responsible for it, “Prabhupada gave me this project, it's my project, I must do it for Prabhupada.” But what was the test of his pure devotional service?
