Srila Prabhupada Uvaca by Srutakirti Dasa

Entering Srila
Prabhupada's quarters was always an enlightening experience. Sometimes
Srila Prabhupada sat and read His books. Whenever He read it seemed as
if someone else had written His books because He didn't read with the
mind of an author who might be looking for editing mistakes or
grammatical errors. He read them with the relish of a pure devotee
reading the pastimes of the Supreme Lord to whom He was completely
attached.

One
day in Los Angeles I went into His room to perform my duties and He was
sitting and reading "Bhagavad Gita As It Is". After I offered
obeisances He looked at me and said, "If you just read this one book
and understand, you will become Krishna Conscious in this very life."
A few months later when I went
into His room, He was reading "Nectar of Devotion". He looked at me and
said, "This book is so nice. Just by reading this one book you can
become Krishna Conscious."
Srila Prabhupada teaches us by example. He does everything He asks us to do. He requests us to read His book and He does, too.
