“Sorry, in a hurry, no time.”
Hari bol Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Practically every day we experience people replying to us when we approach them: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry; no time."
There's not much to say to people when they respond in this way.
But a devotee in Ireland, Ananta Nitai Prabhu, gave the royal reply. Ananta approached a man, and that predicatable response came out of the man's mouth: "Sorry, no time."
The devotee said, "What are you in such a hurry for? We're all going to die anyway."
As soon the man heard that he stopped, came back, and asked the devotee what he had. He showed him a book, and the man gave a donation and took it.
Krsne matir astu.
Your Servant,
Vijaya Dasa
