Don’t Say Why To Srila Prabhuapada

Devotee: ...then why is any one activity of Krsna consciousness better than another one? Why is any one way of serving Krsna better than another? For example, with chanting of the sixteen rounds. Suppose that you've gone 23 hours of the day serving Krsna in one way or another, and the last hour there is opportunity to finish your rounds and also opportunity to make a life member. So instead of chanting your sixteen rounds...
Prabhupada: But you cannot create your concoction! You have to abide by the orders of Krsna.
Devotee: Then why...
Prabhupada: There is no question of why. It is the order of Krsna's representative. You have to abide by that You cannot say, "Why?" Then you are not fully surrendered, as soon as you say, "Why?" Surrender means there is no [surrender]"Why?" It is ordered; it has to be done. That's all. As soon as there is "Why?", there is no surrender. The basic principle is misguided. We have to follow. Just like we have got tilaka. If you say, "Why this tilaka?" There is no question of "Why?" Mahajano yena gatah sa pantha. We have been instructed by the acaryas; we have to follow that. That is surrender. You cannot say, "Why?" Is that clear?
As soon as there is "Why?", there is no surrender.
comment- When you consider all the following present day iskcon mentalities and statements...
Why can Srila Prabhupada order in this ritvik way"--- 
Why he can do this or that because it is not- traditional ??
Why should we do things the same way Srila Prabhupada taught to us?
Why cant we just change things the way WE think they should be done?
Why cant I change your books Srila Prabhupada?
Why cant I sit on your Vyasasana??
Why should we still worship Srila Prabhupada when he is dead and gone?
It is no wonder that everything has fallen apart ???
He said once--" I have given you Vaikuntha and You have turned it into Hell !!"
 WHY WHY WHY--these are the questions of disciples- who are no longer disciples.
