             I’m sure if you stick it out, even just a few devotees, Krsna
             will reciprocate and gradually it can develop to be a grand
             success. Maybe if the sankirtana devotees traveled less and
             distributed more in D that would consolidate the preaching
             there. Naturally they like to be on the road but for the overall
             development of the preaching it seems like making a solid
             foundation in D is of primary importance. Many devotees
             may have so many opinions but those who are committed to
             serve and accept authority can be taken seriously, not others.

             Krsna is known by His devotees but not known by anybody.
             He  is  unconquerable,  but  conquered  by  the  love  of  His
             devotees.  He  is  the  smallest  of  all  (He  enters  within  the
             atoms) and the greatest of all (the universes are within Him).
             All contradictions are possible for Krsna. Devotees know
             Him, at least as much as He explains Himself in Gita. He is
             too great to be known by anybody, but another symptom of
             His greatness is that He blesses His devotees with the ability
             to know Him. Nobody can know Him fully, but devotees
             know Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the
             supreme object of love. Others cannot know Him at all.

             There are many reasons for Krsna’s coming to this world. All
             are not given in Gita. More explanation is given in Srimad
             Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrta and the writings of the
             Gosvamis. Please see Bhagavatam, Canto 1, Chapter 8.
             The sunshine is not different from the sun. The sun is the
             origin of the sunshine, although both simultaneously exist.
             In the same way, Krsna is the origin of everything. Please see
             the Brahma Samhita verse beginning, “diparcir.”

             After reading Gita fully, read it again, and simultaneously
             start on Bhagavatam. Read each at least half an hour a day.
             Gradually everything will be revealed to you.
