The Srimad-Bhagavatam states that any bona fide preacher of God consciousness must have the qualities of titiksa (tolerance) and karuna (compassion). In the character of Lord Jesus Christ we find both these qualities.

Books are the basis; purity is the force; preaching is the essence; utility is the principle.

Living entity is food for another living entity, it does not mean that I shall eat my children also. There is discretion.

If you sell diamonds, you cannot expect to have many customers. But a diamond is a diamond even if there are no customers.

The genuine Guru is God's representative and he speaks about God and nothing else.

The Lord has different names according to His different activities. For example, His name is Madhusüdana because He killed the demon of the name Madhu; His name is Govinda because He gives pleasure to the cows and to the senses

In the last stage of the spiritual master's life, the devotees of the spiritual master should take preaching activities into their own hands. In this way the spiritual master can sit down in a solitary place and render nirjana-bhajana.
