Preaching
A good dancer does not blame the stage! A good cook does not blame the utensils! A good engineer does not blame the instruments, so a good preacher does not blame the field of his preaching.
The Best Preacher
A humble servant of the spiritual master is the best preacher.
Preaching
To love to preach is one thing and to love those whom we preach is quite different.
Instrument of Compassion
Preacher is an instrument of compassion, not an instrument of wrath.
Real Preaching
Real preaching is through example. Speaking the philosophy without honestly being an example of the message falls into the category of karma-kanda according to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta. A proper devotee’s vacana (speech) should be in line with his pracara (behavior), and his sadacara (good behavior) ultimately is his real preaching.
Another Preaching
Building a big temple is a big endeavor. It's for preaching Krishna consciousness. But another preaching is to show – not only show, but to provide the facility by which people can live simply and chant Hare Krishna without any big burdens.
