Srila Prabhupada once said in a lecture, “All of you can fall down, but I can never fall down.”

After the lecture about his arrival in the united States, Srila Prabhupada went before the Deities and began praying to the Lord.

A young disciple nearby then asked Srila Prabhupada what are you praying about?

Srila Prabhupada answered, “I am praying that I will never fall down.” 

The disciple was astonished and said, “But Srila Prabhupada you just said that you can never fall down.” 

Srila Prabhupada answered, “Yes, that is because I am always praying that I will never fall down.” (Lecture on Srila Prabhupada's arrival in America)
