To become liberated and to become materially happy by prosecution of Krsna consciousness is a by-product. You have to attempt further thing. And what is that?

One day in Srila Prabhupada's room in Los Angeles, a psychiatrist criticized the devotees because he felt they forced the public to accept their services.
Srila Prabhupada quickly pointed out that this made the devotees better than him (Psychiatrist). Srila Prabhupada said that thedevotees give their services to all for free by going to them, but the psychiatrist makes the people come to him and then charges them. The psychiatrist fell silent.

Then by His pleasing, He will reveal to you. He will reveal to you. God being pleased with your sincere service and love, He will let you know. Just like Arjuna is being instructed by the Supreme Lord, and He says, "My dear Arjuna, I am speaking to you the most confidential part of knowledge." So if we be
yatra yogesvarah krsno yatra partho dhanur-dharah tatra srir vijayo bhutir dhruva nitir matir mama…..(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Text 78)
