Krishna removes obstacles for the devotee. We can’t remove the obstacles. In other words, the obstacles are the desires that are there within the heart. They are real obstacles. Whatever desires are there within the heart, we find ourselves being tested according to those desires. So there will be a particular test according to the proportion of the particular advancement in Krishna consciousness.

So everyone was tuned into Prabhupada's desire and the message was clear, it entered the ear, but it didn't stop there. Once it went into the ear, it went into the heart, and then there was sort of like an explosion, a complete outburst of wanting to do what was pleasing to Prabhupada.

This is the actual state of every conditioned soul. There are no exceptions. As long as we are conditioned, as long as we have a material body and we have not established our eternal connection with the Lord, we are incomplete. And because we are incomplete, we are always looking for something to compensate that incompleteness. Only those who are self-satisfied are complete.

If one is motivated by the desire for sense gratification, if one thinks “Oh yes, I can have regulated sense gratification. There is license for sense gratification.” Then what happens is that he begins to think about how he can get this sense gratification. And then more within his heart he is meditating on the sense gratification, the more he is simply indulging in these activities of sense gratification and Krishna will never appear within his heart and devotional service will never manifest within his heart until he is completely disgusted with the thought of sense gratification.
