Srila Prabhupapa never gives up on anyone

"Srila Prabhupada never gave up on a devotee, no matter how many mistake the devotee would make; he wanted to see whether the devotee would still carry on and would still want to serve Krsna and serve him", recounts Tamal Krishna Goswami.

Maharaja had just made some serious mistakes regarding the sales contract of the Hare Krishna Land, in Juhu.
"But" he continues, "Srila Prabhupada did not reject me. He still gave me the opportunity to go through a hellish year and half after that, sitting in the lawyers chambers in Bombay, trying to recover the contract...but he never gave up on me"

"Srila Prabhupada said about Krsna: 'If you chant Hare Krsna even one time, sincerely, Krsna will never leave you alone'.
In the same way, Srila Prabhupada never leaves you alone. Even though you might make many blunders in his service, still he does not reject you. But he accepts you just as a father would accept a child; he expects that there may be mistakes.
He will chastise you like anything but he never gives you the sense that he doesn't love you."
