He further wrote, “There should be no one more important than a true devotee. The traffic system should be such that everything runs smoothly in parallel, roads should not be closed for anyone. The traffic becomes even easier when special guests arrive. And it should be convenient, so that it appears that the arrival of special people makes the system better.”
