The sankirtana devotees are like firemen and
firewomen. They are walking in the middle
of the material world which is a big forest fire and
they are rescuing those who are being burnt by the
fire of illusion.
Book distribution is the life and soul of this
Krishna Consciousness movement.
Begging for Krishna forces you to become
humble.
The best way to show mercy is to preach
Krishna Consciousness and the best way
to preach Krishna Consciousness is to distribute
these books.
The devotees who engage in this sankirtana
activity are definitely experiencing some
difficulties, problems, but we should not worry
about these problems. We have to understand this
is simply burden of love, if we carry this burden
with love we will be able to understand Krishna
and his devotees a lot better.
This sankirtan is a very purifying activity. It
purifies even a devotee because it forces the
devotee to dump out his arrogance and pride
and adopt a very humble posture, and humility is
always an asset in spiritual life.
Everyone from top to bottom should take
part in this sankirtana process, this is the
highest priority. We should all take part. If one
is a grhastha, if there are children then organize
a nursery, so one mother can take care of all the
children and the other mothers can go out.
We must meditate on how we can distribute
books for the sake of bringing happiness to
others.
When devotees are out on sankirtan, the way
to resist material desire, to resist material
temptations, is to always remember Krishna by
the process of visnu smaranam. We emphasize
this point again and again as this point is very
important and important point needs constant
repetition.
Please determine and go on distributing
Prabhupada’s books. These books are the only
hope for the suffering humanity. Prabhupada told
us that these books will be read for the next 10,000
years. All problems of the world can be solved if
we take shelter of the messages in these books.
