Hare Krsna Maharaj,

AGTSP, PAMHO

You are our that soul, on whom we depend solely to understand and get inspired to how to serve Krsna esp the Caitanya Mahaprabhu way.

ASA - AGTSP!

SP says in K Book

"There is no need to be envious of the devotees who are engaged in preaching the glories of the Lord. We have practical experience of being advised by the so-called bābājīs in Vṛndāvana that there is no need to preach and that it is better to live in Vṛndāvana in a solitary place and chant the holy name. Such bābājīs do not know that if one is engaged in preaching, or in glorifying the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the good reputation of a preacher automatically follows one"

I think the act of babajis not recommending engagement in preaching is more due to laziness, rather than eagerness of getting reputation.

ASA - Must vary from one to the other, no? Also, that was maybe fifty years ago!

Even after reading paragraph, we dont understand how preaching and material reputation are connected. Can you clarify ?

ASA - We would think that they are kind of like water and oil, two independent things. I the Encyclopedia Britannica it says that Lord Caitanya was a religious epilectic. The real materialists cannot understand a preacher. Even if they see Christianity now they see its material, political, psychological manifestation, no? The good reputation of a preacher is appreciated by spiritual people!

O.K?
