I would hate that this statement now becomes a generality.

Sometimes when I read Srila Prabhupada's books I get more out of it than
from hearing his lectures but at other times I get more out of hearing
his lectures than reading a specific purport. As for his disciples who
had his personal association, even a simple look from him could say more
than a million words in any purport or lecture.

During lectures Srila Prabhupada would also assess his audience and
speak at an appropriate level. Many times Srila Prabhupada would be
asked the same questions but he would answer differently, addressing the
mentality/mood of the person asking the question.

Thank you. Hare Krishna.

Your servant,
Varsabhanavi-devi dasi
