Hare Krishna to all.
I am reading Srila Prabhupada's book nectar of instruction where it is mentioned that we should abandone the company of non- devotees and not to discuss KC matters for our spiritual growth. My question is that I have seen many videos on YouTube as well read Srila Prabhupada's other books also, where our senior devotees and Srila Prabhupada himself has instructed us to spread harinam like fire so that fallen souls can de delivered. If it is like that then what should we do exactly to preach KC among aethists or not to talk about it?

Hare Krishna,
The thing is..One should preach only when one is perfectly surrendered himself. If he or she is having some doubts if he or she is neophyte and tries to go and preach a non devotee they arguements the non devotees put forth are not correctly addressed and moreover there is every chance that the preacher can become a non devotee becoming influenced by the arguements put forth by non devotee and atheists.
So, one must have full faith himself first to even spread the name of Lord to fallen souls and atheists. until you become perfected in what you preach and you yourself are convinced throughly and beyond doubt you must not preach to non devotee. Let some senior do that task.
Hare Krishna.
