Unless you love Krsna, why you should be interested to make others Krsna conscious? Let them go to hell. Why you should be so much working hard to make them Krsna conscious, unless you love Krsna? This is the sign of love. “I love Krsna, but I do nothing for Krsna,” that is nonsense. That is nonsense.
Therefore I said that our Guru Maharaja’s brother, he criticizes Guru
Maharaja, but what he has done for Krsna? And what my Guru Maharaja has done? Unless my Guru Maharaja had produced me, how this Krsna consciousness movement is going all over the world? And what he has done? Simply criticizing is no use. We want to see practical.
“You were also given the equal chance. Prabhupada, my Guru Maharaja, sat down at Mayapur. But you were given the place of Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s birthplace. What you have done? It is still jungle. And what is Mayapur there? All Americans are building a palatial building.” So simply by criticizing, one does not become a very confidential devotee. Where is the action? What he has done? That is required. Phalena pariciyate.
