Question: Who Causes More Damage to Humanity?

Esteemed Guru,

I hope you will forgive my daring in addressing you through this medium. Since I was surfing on the computer and I found myself with you and thinking that you are the proper person, I would like to ask you two questions to which I have not been able to find the answers. My questions are: 

Who do you think will cause more damage to humanity, a scientist or an illiterate person?

How do you feel better, wasting a moment of your life helping someone or dedicating all your time to Krishna?

Thank you for your attention.

Answer: The Person Who is Not Krishna Conscious

If a scientist or an illiterate person is Krishna conscious, by his life's activities he will render the greatest service to humanity. And if they are not Krishna conscious, their life's activities will simply be a disturbance to the human society.

Helping someone means to give them Krishna consciousness. Otherwise, how are we helping them? Therefore helping someone is the greatest service to Lord Krishna as confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita when Krishna states that there is no one more dear to Him than the one who spreads His glories all over the world.
