If we simply try to explain how Kṛṣṇa is great, how God is great, that is sufficient service. That is complete service: śravaṇaṁ kīrtana. If you simply go to the people, "Oh, you are denying God. Don’t do this. God is very great. God is supplying you food. God has created this world. God is feeding everyone," simply these two things we should speak to the people, by writing or speaking—you are rendering great service.

Sa karmaṇā tama vācā. In the Bhagavad-gītā also it is said that whatever qualification and whatever asset you have got, just immediately engage to Kṛṣṇa’s service. And whatever you do, little, that is your asset. Vigata-viklava īśvarasya mahi: "So let me glorify."

We started this Back to Godhead so that our students may write in this paper whatever realization he has got. It doesn’t matter. I have sent therefore one article written by Vīrabhadra, you see, for publication here. One must express his feelings of service. Actually I have started this Back to Godhead for this purpose. Not that I want to discuss huge, complicated philosophical thesis. We don’t care for that.

One must express how he is feeling, or being employed, in the service of the Lord, without any doubt. And as soon as one becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, he becomes poetic also. That is another qualification. A Vaiṣṇava, a devotee, develops twenty-six kinds of qualification, simply by service of Kṛṣṇa. Out of that, one qualification is that he becomes poetic. So, maima amsa sarva pratatnena (Śrīdhara Svāmī commentary).

So we simply . . . if we simply try to explain how Kṛṣṇa is great, how God is great, that is sufficient service. That is complete service: śravaṇaṁ kīrtana. If you simply go to the people, "Oh, you are denying God. Don’t do this. God is very great. God is supplying you food. God has created this world. God is feeding everyone," simply these two things we should speak to the people, by writing or speaking—you are rendering great service.

Without any education, without any qualification—you simply just . . . actually this is the fact. This is the fact. Everything is property of Kṛṣṇa, of God. Everything is supplied by Kṛṣṇa. You are living at the cost of Kṛṣṇa. Your body is given by Kṛṣṇa. In this way, we simply chant and preach like this, we are rendering service. Is it very difficult? Anyone can do. There is no need of qualification—either go to Japan or Honolulu or this or that. Everyone is man; everywhere you can say this. So just engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa’s service. That is good for you.
