— Śrī Śrīla Shyām Dās Bābā Mahārāj
Those who are always busy with foreign preaching, be sure that in most of the cases there can be some hidden motive behind it. Very often it is seen that all those whose heart is full of self-interest, they are very eager to go to foreign lands in the name of preaching. To be frank it is very easy to preach there for the simple reason that nobody will question one’s conduct. Wrong siddhānta is easily accepted by all those innocent common people, because they have no discrimination, and that’s why almost everything can be accepted by them. But if you go for preaching here (Bhārata-varṣa) then even a slight deviation in conduct can immediately be detected. Here a so called ācārya cannot hid himself for long because he will be immediately exposed by those pure Guru–Vaiṣṇavas. Therefore, one who feels pride merely because he preaches in foreign countries is a fool No.1. Such pride is absurd. Real preaching is not measured by how many foreign trips one has done or how many subscribers one has on You Tube, the only thing that counts is ones ācāra and pracāra, all other things are not so important in the way of passing judgment about one sādhu. Truly preaching is only possible when one can pass the test arranged by Śrī Svarūpa Gosvāmī (or The Prabhupāda), who is the sole authority of all the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas about all absolute siddhānta-vicāras or etiquette etc., as declared by Śrīman Mahāprabhu Himself. Preaching is not a matter of joke, always try to remember this point.
