Question: Sometimes we may see someone with different behavior. Although I don’t say anything bad about that devotee, or I don’t want to offend but in my mind, there come many thoughts which may be offensive towards the devotee. At that time, what should I do? Please instruct me.

Jayapatākā Swami: I already answered this that we can always respectfully ask the devotee why they are doing something like that. If we know that they are new devotees, they don’t know what they are doing, but if we have to correct them, they may feel embarrassed or something. So it depends on the situation, whether it is a senior devotee, equal or new devotee. So accordingly, if it is a senior devotee, we will ask first, if he is equal devotee, maybe in a more friendly way, depending on the status and our relationship we should act accordingly.
