You Owe to Yourself
You owe to yourself to awaken your dormant Krishna consciousness. Why should you cheat yourself by remaining a slave of the material energy caught up in the all-entangling cycle of repeated birth, death, old age, and disease for countless eons of lifetimes? Do yourself the highest good by reviving your actual identity as the servant of Krishna. You will unlimitedly glad that you did.
I read your E-Course today, I got surprised and felt sad about your health
I do not know what reason cause Srila Gurudeva suffers like this. As your disciple/ spiritual daughter, what I can do to help you?

---So Krishna is so powerful that He can immediately take up all the sins of others and immediately make them right. But when a living entity plays the part on behalf of Krishna, he also takes the responsibility for the sinful activities of his devotees. Therefore to become a guru is not an easy task. You see? He has to take all the poisons and absorb them. So sometimes -- because he is not Krishna -- sometimes there is some trouble. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu has forbidden, "Don't make many sisyas, many disciples." But for preaching work we have to accept many disciples -- for expanding preaching -- even if we suffer. That's a fact. The spiritual master has to take the responsibility for all the sinful activities of his disciples. Therefore to make many disciples is a risky job unless one is able to assimilate all the sins.---
Therefore, my disciples should take very seriously what Srila Prabhupada has described above and always faithfully abide by their initiation vows. Otherwise they may be causing me to suffer.

Answer: Faithfully Abide by Your Initiation Vows
The best help the disciples can render to the spiritual master is to faithfully follow their initiation vows. This means that they must carefully chant their japa every day and strictly follow the four regulative principles: no illicit sex, no meat eating, no intoxication, and no gambling. If the disciples deviate from their initiation vows this may sometimes cause the spiritual master to suffer. In this connection Srila Prabhupada explains as follows:---So Krishna is so powerful that He can immediately take up all the sins of others and immediately make them right. But when a living entity plays the part on behalf of Krishna, he also takes the responsibility for the sinful activities of his devotees. Therefore to become a guru is not an easy task. You see? He has to take all the poisons and absorb them. So sometimes -- because he is not Krishna -- sometimes there is some trouble. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu has forbidden, "Don't make many sisyas, many disciples." But for preaching work we have to accept many disciples -- for expanding preaching -- even if we suffer. That's a fact. The spiritual master has to take the responsibility for all the sinful activities of his disciples.
