“How can one become a devotee? The answer is only by coming in contact witha devotee. That is why it is important that the devotees go out and preach.
Preach means provide the opportunity to others to become a devotee. A
devotee, a Vaishnava is very compassionate. He is very merciful. That’s why
he goes out and gives Krishna to others.”
His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami, excerpt from lecture on SB 3.24.11, Ujjain
