This is the symptom of a pure devotee. One should serve the spiritual master first. It is not that one should bypass the spiritual master and desire to serve the Supreme Lord. This is not the principle for a Vaishnava.

Materialistic plans of godless demons are always frustrated by the all-powerful Lord.
Srimad Bhagavatam 2.7.14
A devotee is surrendered to whatever Krishna wants. If Krishna wants him to take birth again, he will take, but he prays to remain in the association of devotees.
There are many examples in history of devotees of the Lord who risked their lives for the spreading of God consciousness. The favorite example is Lord Jesus Christ. He was crucified by the nondevotees, but he sacrificed his life for spreading God consciousness.
Bhagavad Gita 11.55,
Srila Prabhupada
Only the most intelligent people are entitled to engage in the process of chanting the mahamantra.
Distribution of my books is the most imporatant thing. These other thing such as selling incense and records are not as important as this. I want that my books be distributed in huge quantities and thus we will be able to thoroughly convince the majority of population.
Total absorption in the thought of Sri Krishna.
God is complete and his arrangement is also very complete. Everyone has his necessities of life completely.
Press Conference – July 9, 1975,
