Excerpt from a Marathon Class by H.H Bhakti Caru Swami
Excerpt from a lecture by H.H Bhakti Caru Swami on 13th December 1987,in Radhadesh, Belgium.
We should try our best to distribute these books. However, just to distribute a book to someone is not enough. They also need to be inspired to read them, and for this it is very important that our dealings and personal behavior be exemplary. (…) People have to respect us in order to respect our philosophy. it is most important to remember that while we are preaching, we must make people realize that we care for them. (…) People are not stupid. They understand what is what. If we are more interested in their money than in their souls, our objectives will not be accomplished. (…) That is why our preaching should be positive. We want to distribute as many books as we possibly can, but we should not do this just for the sake of money or numbers. We should distribute the books with the understanding that it is preaching.
