=== Eagerness to Expand the Preaching Mission ===

Śrīla Prabhupāda's heart beat for the whole world. He carried a profound, personal eagerness to distribute the supreme secret of Kṛṣṇa consciousness everywhere, asking only that we enthusiastically assist him in this grand effort.

=== Eagerness to See His Disciples Advance ===

Like a loving father, Śrīla Prabhupāda was always intensely eager to see his disciples grow strong in their spiritual lives. Whether it was the development of ''gurukula'' or the thriving of a new ''āśrama'', his greatest joy was our advancement.

* [[Vaniquotes:I am always eager to hear that Gurukula is going well so be very vigilant that this program with the older boys in New Vrindaban as well as all levels of teaching at Dallas are just to the standard as I introduced it|I am always eager to hear that Gurukula is going well so be very vigilant that this program with the older boys in New Vrindaban as well as all levels of teaching at Dallas are just to the standard as I introduced it.]]

=== Eagerness for Book Publication and Distribution ===

The printing and distribution of transcendental literature was Śrīla Prabhupāda's life and soul. His eagerness to see books published and temples constructed was the driving force that expanded our spiritual family.

I am most eager to see this distributed throughout Southeast Asia to as many Chinese speaking people as possible.]]

=== Eagerness in Separation and Meeting ===

In the spiritual realm, the eagerness of separation is identical to the joy of meeting. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches us through his personal exchanges how this intense yearning to hear about Kṛṣṇa, and the eagerness to reunite in service, is spiritual perfection.

* [[Vaniquotes:As you are very much eager to see me stronger, similarly I am also very much eager to regain my former health and serve you all|As you are very much eager to see me stronger, similarly I am also very much eager to regain my former health and serve you all.]]

* [[Vaniquotes:Your eagerness to get me back in the states will surely be a success because I'm also eager to return. Tears for Krishna is as good as associating with Him personally. In the spiritual world separation is more valuable than meeting|Your eagerness to get me back in the states will surely be a success because I'm also eager to return. Tears for Krishna is as good as associating with Him personally. In the spiritual world separation is more valuable than meeting.]]
