"You have written so many nice things in praise of me but I think that my Guru Maharaj is great. I am not great he is great. So sometimes by the association of the great one appears great. Just like the sun is great heat and light and by reflecting the greatness of the sun's light the moon in the dead of night also appears great, but actually the moon is by nature dark and cold, but in association with the sun it has become accepted as great, this is the real position. So I thank you very much that you are appreciating my Guru Maharaj who wanted to preach Krishna Consciousness all over the world, he is so great."
(Srila Prabhupada letter, 1st August, 1973)
