Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 There will be so many questions and opposing elements. He gave the example how the preacher is the best devotee and gets special consideration from the Lord, just as the soldiers in Germany got butter, even if no one else did. The first thing is enthusiasm. Don't be dead. He said, "You have to work more than me. Anyone who has life, he can preach. I say to my Godbrothers, 'You are all dead. You have no strength, no life. What have you done?' Because I am trying my best, blessing is coming from my Guru Maharaja. It is not to be advertised, but seen." We have to take great responsibility. Whatever they have without God is zero. Simply touring is not required. By traveling we have to do something substantial to increase the society. We must spread conviction by literature, speaking, and preaching. The preacher is the best devotee because he is the soldier. We have to be spiritually strong. If superficially we want to be managers, it won't be good. We have to work sincerely. We are servants. We have to satisfy the master. Bring back all these fools (back to Godhead). Don't try to be the proprietor of bricks and wood. That is not life. Preach. "Go and preach, Go and preach, Go and preach!" >From ISKCON in the 1970s by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami, pps. 11-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
