One day in Vrindavan, Srila Prabhupada allowed a morning darsana in his room, but some of the important devotees were absent. When he asked where they were, he was told that some of the devotees were cleaning the temple.

Prabhupada was surprised. "Cleaning the temple? We can employ people to clean the temple, but one thing you cannot employ people to do is to preach. So they should hear from me when I am speaking, or how will they preach?"
