Rupa-vilasa: The gurukula building in Vrindavan was under construction and Prabhupada liked to go there every couple of days to see the progress. Once Prabhupada went in the early morning with a contingent of sannyasis and senior devotees and from back of the windows of the building they looked at the workers. Some of the workers were bathing with water that gushed out of a pipe. Some of them were making chapattis over fires and some of them were brushing their teeth with neem twigs. A lot of these workers were Brajabasis and were chanting songs about Krishna. Prabhupada watched this whole scene turned around and said, ‘Just see. They will rise early in the morning. They will work whole day in the hot sun and for what?’ somebody said, “Three rupees.” “For a few rupees”, Prabhupada said, “They will take bath, they will chant some mantra and they will live in the simple way.” He appreciated the simplicity of their life and how sincere and innocent they were. Hansaduta maharaja said, “Prabhupada we should learn to live like this”. Prabhupada laughed and said, “You will never learn. You will never learn.”
