Question from Atmanand Bidadar Prabhu Krishna told in Bhagavad Gita starting only you surrender to me when you come to me Krishna told in Bhagavad Gita at the end whoever preaches my message they are very dear to me why do we need to preach? Answer because that is the way we make Krishna’s desires our own desires Love means that not just we think about somebody but we share that person’s heart as our own heart. We share that person’s concerns as our concerns so for Krishna all living beings are his children and he feels sorry for them as Prabhupada says when they are suffering in material existence just as any parent would feel sorry when his sons are suffering so Krishna wants all of them to come back home and that is why he descends to the material world again and again to give us all living beings an invitation and also a process by which they can come back and he sends his representatives through the ages so it’s one thing to not act sinfully and to act according to instructions of God so to act sinfully is to directly be opposed to God to act according to God’s will is definitely a step going closer to him but not just to obey God but to take up God’s responsibility as our own like a parent first the child is doing mischief the parent says don’t do any mischief that is better than a child who is doing mischief but then if the father has his own business and the child is growing up what is expected is not just that the child stop doing mischief but the child grow up and take responsibility in the father’s business similarly as devotees mature they want to take up responsibility in Krishna’s business and Krishna’s business is to deliver the conditioned soul so I have given a full lecture on why to preach centered on acronym P R E A C H with each of these points giving a reason for preaching purification responsibility education, adventure compassion, humility so these are all the various reasons that we can understand for sharing Krishna consciousness with others in fact that is the way Krishna says we will become most dear to him very quickly and that is what our desire is ultimately to become dear to Krishna so whatever result Krishna says in 18.54 he says comes to those who come to the brahman platform that same result Krishna says in 18.68 and 69 comes to those who practice my pure devotional service sorry those who share my devotional service with others so sharing Krishna consciousness with others is a very swift and wonderful way to please Krishna and make rapid spiritual advancement
