This is our philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness preaching. You don’t require any high type of philosophical speculation or this or this ism, that ism, that ism—no. Simple truth. That’s all. Just try to glorify the Supreme Lord, the great. That’s all. And whatever capacity you have got—not that you have to qualify yourself in this way.

Is it very difficult to be a preacher? You are going to be preacher, going to Japan? Do you think it is difficult? It is difficult? Simply say like this—you see—that "God is great." Don’t be puffed up that you are great, you are all-powerful, you have got . . . give up these foolish ideas. "God is great. He has created this world. He is giving you food, He has given you body." Just simply try to convince them, these principles, and you become a preacher.

So is there any question? Just try to understand. This is our philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness preaching. You don’t require any high type of philosophical speculation or this or this ism, that ism, that ism—no. Simple truth. That’s all. Just try to glorify the Supreme Lord, the great. That’s all. And whatever capacity you have got—not that you have to qualify yourself in this way.

It is very nice to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness. When I was first in Boston, I was thinking on the ship that, "I have come to preach here Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I see these people are so much addicted to so many nonsense things. How I shall convince them? What shall I tell them? (chuckles) How they will understand me? It is a complete different culture, completely" I was thinking like that.

"Anyway, when Kṛṣṇa has sent me, let me try; otherwise I shall go back." Yes. Actually I was thinking like that. I never thought that so many boys and girls will understand me and work with me. From the very beginning I was thinking that, "It is impossible, because their mode of living, their mode of culture—everything is different. And I have brought Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I will have to say, ’You don’t take meat, you don’t take intoxication, don’t have illicit sex.’ How they will be able to do that?" I was thinking. But by Kṛṣṇa’s grace everything is possible. That is my practical experience.

So we have to work very sincerely, keeping our faith in Kṛṣṇa. Do this preaching work—it is not difficult—and be happy. And whatever service you render to Kṛṣṇa, that becomes your permanent asset, permanent bank balance, never to be spoiled. Such nice thing.
