People are Our Best Friends
Do You imagine a strange person becomes Your best friend at the time You preach to him? It happens, because Krishna smiles in his heart as Paramatma, the Supersoul. Paramatma is the best friend of every living being. When You become Her instrument in preaching Krishna Consciousness the human being becomes the best friend not only with the Supersoul, but with You too, as Her instrument. When you really become humble and devoted you can see a miracle: Paramatma's friendliness with the living being. This relationship is beyond material world, therefore You swing in bliss above the mother Earth. To repeat the spectacle and get new ones you always and always desire to become the instrument, and always go out on the street to get divine nectar of being the best friend of everyone completely everyone. Divine friendship is so nectarean that You cannot live without it even a second. No matter is it 30 degrees of cold or not, because spiritual relationship makes your heart warm.
When I merely started to distribute books I got causeless Paramatma's mercy in advance, for my sincere endeavours. In the beginning of Krishna Consciousness you do not have love to God and people. You know only theoretically that it has to be, yet you do not have practice. If you want to practice it, you have to go out to fight with maya and give people Krishna. The more you fight, the more you surrender, and the more the Lord takes care of You. The more Krishna takes care of you, the more you can taste divine relationship and see how your brothers and sisters are linked with God as parts and parcels. You can even see their relationship with God, being His instrument.
When I was told to go out to distribute Prabhupada's scriptures I felt that I have special mission to do for people and God to link people with Him. Actually You become their spiritual master. At that time I have read only few books, although I was very eager to read more and more to know everything to tell to people. And really, people are the best examiners. They give you the most realistic mark for Your realisation of knowledge. They can tell you how much you love God and people, how good instrument you are.
