We have published so many books, not that simply for selling to others. We must read also, and digest, and write articles in our Back to Godhead. That is thoughtfulness. Vaiṣṇava, that another qualification is that he is a poet. Poet does not mean to write only big, big poetry; he is also maybe. Poet means one who can write. That is, out of the twenty-six qualifications, one of the qualification is every Vaiṣṇava should be expert in writing and . . . (indistinct) . . . that is required. These are the qualifications. And dakṣa. Dakṣa means very expert. Any . . . any business you give to Vaiṣṇava, he will be able to do it very nicely. There are twenty-six qualifications. So we have to develop these qualification. Vaiṣṇava does not means idle fools. No. Vaiṣṇava means expert in everything. Whatever Kṛṣṇa orders, there is. Very good.

So, you are very good combination. You have got nice place. So improve, improve your devotional activities, and this Hawaii, this place is also very nice. People work very nicely, and there are many people who are hankering after something spiritual. So these are the good opportunities, so be yourself a pure Vaiṣṇava. Pure Vaiṣṇava means anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ (CC Madhya 19.167). No more desires, ār nā koriho mane āśā. This is devotee. Except service of Kṛṣṇa, there is no other thing. That is devotee. So that service is given by the spiritual master, and the spiritual master will approve, "Yes your service is all right," then Kṛṣṇa is also pleased. So in this way execute devotional service.
