Walk the talk
It is important that one must act and speak consistently. Preaching is a very important service to the Lord, but it should never be done for the sake of relishing the power of control over others. When one preaches about surrender, one should be at least sincerely trying to surrender. At all times there must be a consistency between one’s words and actions. When one speaks the glories of prasadam one should not make a habit of wasting prasadam. Simply using the scriptures to win debates, garner praise and glory or attract followers is falsehood. One must be careful to focus one’s activities on the goal, which is reviving our dormant love for God.
