Reading and Distributing Srila Prabhupada’s Books

Recently, while reading the Bhagavad-gita before going out on book distribution at a local university in LA, I read these two sentences from the purport to 2.47: "One who is attached to the result of his work is also the cause of the action. Thus he is the enjoyer or the sufferer of the result of such actions." So while on book distribution I meditated on this reality and prayed to Krsna that I be allowed to just work for...

Even with all my expertise nothing was happening. On my own I could...
