Krishna will give you the necessary strength

[Guest guest]

 

 

By Krishna's Grace, everything is gradually coming to the fulfillment of

my dream. The Sankirtana party is walking in the streets and is getting good

response from the public. They are selling Back To Godhead nicely, and

getting good sympathy from the public by considerable collections. We are

not after collecting money, but when people offer something out of love and

sympathy for our mission, it becomes a great asset. I am sure if all my

beloved disciples combined together try to preach Krishna Consciousness in

this spirit, Krishna will give the necessary strength. By the Grace of

Krishna and the Spiritual Master, the dumb man can speak like a great

orator, and a lame man can cross over a great mountain. So we must have the

necessary unflinching faith in Krishna and the Spiritual Master, and the

strength will be supplied by Krishna. After all, anything which we

experience is but a fraction of the unlimited energy of Krishna. And even by

a fragmental touch of such spiritual energy of the Lord, we can make our

life successful...

 

I am so pleased to learn that you are lecturing in the Boston University

class in mysticism, and they are appreciating your versions. Please always

remain submissive in spirit to Krishna and the Spiritual Master, and by

their Grace you will get all strength to speak and satisfy your audience. I

remember when you were walking with me on the New York street, you were

proposing me to become lecturer in some University. And your honest desire

has been fulfilled by Krishna, that He has given sufficient strength unto

you, that instead of me, you are speaking there as my representative. This

is all Krishna's Grace. But one thing I may inform you, that the three books

which I have already prepared, namely, the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Teachings

of Lord Caitanya, and Srimad-Bhagavatam, all these books are the ultimate

source of knowledge. If you simply reproduce what I have tried to explain in

those books, surely you will come out victorious, even in the midst of so

many great mundane scholars. The description given in these books, are not

mundane speculations, but they are authorized versions of liberated souls,

presented by our humble self. So the strength is not in us, but the strength

is in the Supreme Lord. And we have simply to present them without any

adulteration, in humble service spirit. That is the secret of success.

 

So far your center is concerned, you are trying your best, and Krishna

will help you. Go on doing like that, and our business is to try our best.

Results we leave for consideration of Krishna, and we shall not be

disappointed whether the result is favorable or unfavorable. Actually there

cannot be any unfavorable result, because we are serving Krishna. One person

may be or may not be inclined to accept Krishna Consciousness, but that

doesn't matter, but if we try our best to make one person Krishna Conscious,

then our duty is carried out nicely. That is recognized by Krishna. In spite

of our best efforts, if things do not come successful, then there is no

fault on our side. That should be the principle of our preaching, we shall

try our best to convince others in Krishna Consciousness, and Krishna will

be pleased, that is our gain. (Letters from Srila Prabhupada 9/27/68,

10/15/68)

 

How will I make them understand this message of Krsna consciousness? I am

very unfortunate, unqualified, and the most fallen. Therefore I am seeking

Your benediction so that I can convince them, for I am powerless to do so on

my own. Somehow or other, O Lord, You have brought me here to speak about

You. Now, my Lord, it is up to You to make me a success or failure as You

like. (Srila Prabhupada)
