Prabhupada, January 23, 1977, Bhubaneswar: […] Para-duhkha-duhkhi. “They are suffering.” That is Vaishnava, real Vaishnava, not that, “Now I am realized soul, sit down and…” That is also good, but better business is to think for others.
That is stated in the Bhagavatam. Ya idam paramam guhyam mad-bhaktesu.. [Bg 18.68], na ca tasmad. If you want to be really very dear to Krishna, you must preach this philosophy vigorously, not that “I have got it.
Who is going to take so much botheration? Let me sit down.”
Krishna… Who can be better devotee than Arjuna? And why did he… He was, rather, avoiding the botheration. Krishna said, “No. You must take the botheration.”
He chastised him, kutas tva kasmalam idam visame. “Rascal, what is this? You must take. You have to take this botheration.” On this principle, at the age of seventy years, I took all the botheration — “All right.”
The other friends were thinking that, “This man is going to die, and he is going to preach.” (laughing) They said like that. And, “All right. I shall die, I shall die for Krishna’s cause.” So we have to face so many problems, botherations. That is natural. We should not be afraid of this.
