That is recognized by K™¢�a

[Guest guest]

Hari-œauri: It seems to be very difficult if they are not very serious about

anything...

Prabhup€da: No, that is missionary activities, that they do not understand,

but you have to make them understand. They are not calling you, "I am

suffering. Please come," but it is your business to go and let them know

that "You are suffering. You take this method." That is the way of becoming

very quickly recognized by K™¢a. Otherwise, if you think, "They are not

understanding, what is the use of going there? Let me sleep," that is not

good. They are not understanding; still, you have to go. Then K™¢a will

take that "He is laboring so hard for My sake." Never mind he is successful.

It doesn't matter. But you are working hard for K™¢a. That is noted down.

So our business is to be recognized by K™¢a. Whether one man is converted

or not converted, that is not our business. We shall try our best. But K™¢a

must see that I am giving service to K™¢a. That's all. That is wanted. Not

that you have to judge that you have approached so many men; nobody became

K™¢a conscious.

That doesn't matter. But you have gone there. You have endeavored your

sincere effort. That is recognized by K™¢a. That is the order of Caitanya

Mah€prabhu. Y€re dekha, t€re kaha 'k™¢a'-upadeœa: "Whomever you meet, you

give him, you inform him the instruction of K™¢a." Caitanya Mah€prabhu

never said that "You see that he has actually become K™¢a conscious." Never

says. You simply say and go and say. That is your business. It is not that

you have to see that he has become K™¢a conscious. It is not so easy to

become K™¢a conscious. It is not so easy. It will take, bah¦n€ˆ janman€m

ante, after many, many births. But you have to do your duty. Go and preach.

Y€re dekha, t€re kaha 'k™¢a'-upadeœa. Your duty is finished. Of course, you

will try to convert him. If he is not converted, that is not deviation of

your duty. You have to simply go and speak. Just like when I came to your

country, I never expected any success because I knew, "As soon as I will

say, 'No illicit sex, no meat-eating,' they will reject me immediately."
