Our propagation for opening different centers is for this purpose, that we give chance. This is our duty. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Krsna also recommended this process, that if you give chance to the people to understand the real knowledge from the Bhagavad-gita. Now it remains to the people to accept it or not accept it. That is his choice. But our duty is… Just like representative of a business firm, he goes from door to door, from shop to shop, that “Here is a thing we are selling, and this is such and such.” Now, it does not mean that wherever the representative will go the things will be sold. No. That is not expected. But maybe somebody may come and take to such transaction maybe seriously. But we cannot expect that everyone will understand the science of Krsna consciousness. It is not for ordinary man, not for the proud man, especially, who is thinking that “I am God.” It is for the humble and meek who can actually submit to a God-realized person and receive knowledge from him.
