<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on SB 7.9.4 -- Mayapur, February 11, 1976|Lecture on SB 7.9.4 -- Mayapur, February 11, 1976]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
Every living entity originally ''nitya-siddha'', but somehow or other, just like Jaya-Vijaya fell down in this material world, and he was delivered also, both of them were delivered. So although you have fallen in this material world and suffering the pangs of material existence, ''janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi ''([[vanisource:BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.9]]), on account of accepting this material body, still, Kṛṣṇa personally comes, ''yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata ''([[vanisource:BG 4.7 (1972)|BG 4.7]]). This is ''glāniḥ'', discrepancies. We are living this material existence. This is not real life. Real life is to become ''mahā-bhāgavata''. 

So you cannot become a ''mahā-bhāgavata ''all of a sudden, but from ''kaniṣṭha-adhikārī'',

:''arcāyām eva haraye''
:''yaḥ pūjāṁ śraddhayehate''
:''na tad-bhakteṣu cānyeṣu''
:''sa bhaktaḥ prākṛtaḥ smṛtaḥ''

:([[vanisource:SB 11.2.47|SB 11.2.47]])

''Prākṛtaḥ ''stage. So ''prakṛtaḥ ''stage means just like we are worshiping the Deity, but not only we shall worship Deity, but we make advancement. What is that advancement? To become gradually a preacher. That is ''madhyama-adhikārī'', second stage: preacher. Preacher means that,

:''īśvare tad-adhīneṣu''
:''bāliśeṣu dviṣatsu ca''
:''prema-maitrī-kṛpā upekṣāḥ''
:''yaḥ karoti sa madhyamaḥ''

:([[vanisource:SB 11.2.46|SB 11.2.46]])

When you become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious by worshiping the Deity regularly, as we have got prescription to rise early in the morning, offer ''maṅgala-ārati'', then ''kīrtana'', then class, in this way practicing, practicing, when you become advanced Kṛṣṇa conscious, then your natural tendency will be how to preach. So long you do not develop this tendency for preaching, simply remain in ''kaniṣṭha-adhikārī'', you do not know how to deliver others. ''Na tad-bhakteṣu cānyeṣu''. You do not know how to receive elevated . . . one elevated devotee; you do not know how to do good to others. 

So Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission is not to keep one in the ''kaniṣṭha-adhikārī'', especially those who are born in India. He says,

:''bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra''
:''janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra''

:([[vanisource:CC Adi 9.41|CC Adi 9.41]])

This is principle, ''para-upakāra''.
