Srila Prabhupada: …a man will go to hell by taking Krsna’s money. So some way or other, take some money from him and engage him in the Krsna consciousness movement.
Bob: And then he may not go to hell?
Srila Prabhupada: Yes. You save him from going to hell. Because a farthing spent for Krsna will be accounted: “Oh, this man has given a farthing.” This is called ajnata-sukrti (spiritual activity one performs unknowingly). They are very poor in their thought. Therefore the saintly persons move just to enlighten them a little. To give them a chance. Giving them a chance to serve Krsna. That is the saintly person’s duty.
Bob: That is what?
Srila Prabhupada: That is his duty. But if he takes money from others and utilizes it for his sense gratification, then he goes to hell. Then it is finished. Then he is a cheater; actually he is a criminal. You cannot take money, a farthing, from anyone, and use it for your own sense gratification.
