And here is the smoking story + the same story about Lord Nityananda told by Giriraja Swami: 

There was no one more merciful than Srila Prabhupada. Lord Nityananda is most merciful and Srila Prabhupada manifested the same quality of mercy as Nityananda Prabhu. When Srila Prabhupada was in Bombay he received a phone call from the temple president in Calcutta, who reported that one of Prabhupada’s earliest disciples from America had come to Calcutta and was smoking ganja, marijuana, and asked what to do Prabhupada told his secretary to relay his response, "Tell him that if he doesn't stop smoking ganja I will reject him." 

Afterwards Tamal Krishna Goswami asked, “Is it true that if he doesn’t stop smoking ganja you will reject him?” And Prabhupada replied, "
No, I cannot reject anyone. The mercy of Lord Nityananda has no limit."

And maybe two years later we were in Juhu and Srila Prabhupada had a disciple who fell into bad company and was living on Juhu beach and doing yoga tricks. He was doing things like putting a penny or a paisa in his ear and then making it come out somewhere else; different strange things to collect money. And he was known as a disciple of Prabhupada and a member of ISKCON so Tamal Krishna Goswami approached Srila Prabhupada and said this is happening and he is giving you a bad name and giving ISKCON a bad name, you should reject him. And again Srila Prabhupada replied, "I cannot reject anyone." Tamal Krishna Goswami asked, “But don't you have to draw the line somewhere?” And again Srila Prabhupada said, "The mercy of Lord Nityananda has no limits.” How shall I take shelter of one more merciful than he, Srila Prabhupada.


The story about the Supersoul from Nara Narayana Visvakarma Prabhu is a little different then I remembered: First the introduction at 10:40 and then the Supersoul story at 16:52
