To be quickly recognized by Krsna, this is the short-cut process. He never says those who are sitting in a secluded place meditating or chanting, doing nothing, He never says that “They are My very dear devotees.” But those who are preaching — na ca tasman manusyesu kascin me [Bg. 18.69]. Just like government takes more care for the soldiers, especially when there is fighting. They are giving life for the state. So their comfort — first consideration. In the warfield, enough supplies. Anything the soldiers require, enough supplies. Sometimes the store is blown out, and again another store is ready.
