Regarding book distribution, double it. Try to do it and you
won’t. Resolve—“I must do it”—and with this mood, praying to
guru and Krsna, surely you will.

This is real preaching: distributing books, convincing people
to give up Mayavada, making a shop for preaching. Canakya
Pandit says that one good flower can make a whole forest
fragrant. Similarly, if there is one fired-up preacher, he can have
tremendous impact on the whole area around him.

You have done a great service to S by cutting away the nasty
weeds or sentimental attachment to Mayavada. Srila Prabhupada
will be so happy as he personally detested this nonsense RK.
Don’t repeat this publicly, but Srila Prabhupada once said, “If I
had been in power at the time, I would have killed RK.”

His influence has been so perfidious; now it is our duty as
preachers of Krsna consciousness to save people from the
influence of these Mayavadis. Go on distributing these books
that will have the best effect.

Always preach, always teach, and simultaneously keep yourself
strong by regularly chanting 16 rounds of the Hare Krsna maha-
mantra carefully on beads, and also studying Srila Prabhupada’s
books daily.

On the path of Krsna consciousness there may be many
upheavals. We cannot know what to expect. Krsna is anxious
to see the obstacles in the path of devotion removed from His
devotees’ lives so that they can worship Him purely. Sometimes
removal of those obstacles may seem painful. Just as in surgery,
the pain is necessary but short-lived, and afterwards the patient
continues to enjoy the benefit.
