Prabhupads mercy on Garbage Collector

I happened to stop a person who looked like a mexican. He didn't react very positively in the beginning but after showing the book and talking a little bit about it he started growing in interest. He suddenly started telling me about Krsna and Arjuna and their conversation on the battlefield. I was very surprised to hear this from him. I thought he knew about this earlier. He later revealed that he used to do garbage cleaning on roads. He once found a discarded book on the road and took it home. He read it and liked it (it is Prabhupada's book) and he cleaned it up, bound it and preserved it. He liked the philosophy very much and in his terms : "this philosophy is more profound compared to religions like christianity". He was looking for more books like that and he could not find any so far until he met us. He was very happy to see all the books in front of him. He was happy to get hold of plenty of books (7 of them). Even though he didn't carry much laxmi, he gave around $20. It was a good realization for me that the book distribution can help souls like these searching after Krsna. He felt really happy. He looked like reading all of them at once there :-) …………………..
