Srila Prabhupada on Progress
Whatever progress we have made, it is simply due to distributing the books. So go on, and do not divert your mind for a moment from this.
Krishna – Absolute Truth in All Circumstances
Before the creation, Krishna was existing, and when there is creation, everything is resting in Krishna, and when this creation is finished, Krishna will remain. Therefore, He is Absolute Truth in all circumstances.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.2.26,

Significance of Dedicating One’s Activities to The Service of The Supreme Personality of Godhead
Those who perform severe austerities and penances, those who give away all their possessions out of charity, those who are very famous for their auspicious activity, those who are engaged in meditation and mental speculation and even those who are very expert in reciting the Vedic mantras are not able to obtain any auspicious result, although they are engaged in auspicious activities, if they do not dedicate their activities to the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. — Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, 22.20.
A Materialistic Devotee
A Devotee who faithfully engages in the worship of the Deity in the temple but does not behave properly towards other devotees or people in general is called a praakrutha bhakta, a materialistic devotee and is considered to be in the lowest position.
