Acyutānanda dāsa: Śrīla Gurudeva, here in the West some people donate their organs to help others. How should we understand this?
Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Mahārāja: We do not think about such things. We do not give away our eyes; they are only for the service of Kṛṣṇa. This is simply social work. We should always think about Kṛṣṇa and Mahāprabhu, and how to serve and remember Them. We place no value on this type of activity. In fact, if you give your organs away, you will have to take birth again.
Acyutānanda dāsa: If I donate my kidney to help others, will I get a reaction from that?
Śrīpāda Mādhava Mahārāja: If the person to whom you donate is a very bad person, like a criminal, you will get a very bad reaction. If the person is a highly qualified devotee, you will be benefited, but it is very rare that you will have the opportunity to donate to such a devotee.
Acyutānanda dāsa: Right, right.
Dhruva dāsa: My bhajana is always suffering, Gurudeva.
Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Mahārāja: This is the reason I have come – to help you follow my instructions.
