Lecture on SB 1.8.47 -- Mayapura, October 27, 1974:

So one has to make advance. What is that advance? That advance is . . . what is that verse? The four kinds of . . . prema-maitrī-kṛpopekṣā yaḥ karoti sa madhyamaḥ (SB 11.2.46). Īśvare tad-adhīneṣu. The further advancement . . . one has to make advance, stage by stage, from the kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, from the lower stage, to the middle stage to the higher stage. So the next stage, from prākṛta, from material position . . . of course, any devotion is . . . any devotee is not on the material platform. He is . . . but if we remain more on the material platform, not on the spiritual platform, then we'll fall down. We'll fall down. Therefore one should try to make forward march. The forward march is to become a preacher. Bhakteṣu cānyeṣu. Preaching means to obey the order of the spiritual master or superior authorities and to good to others, do good to others. They are suffering for want of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Try to preach them. This is the second stage. If we simply become blocked up for Deity worship and do not preach, then we remain in the lowest stage. But when we take up this work, preaching . . .

Preaching means he must be conscious, very . . . Kṛṣṇa conscious, advanced. Kṛṣṇa conscious means that he's a lover of Kṛṣṇa. Iśvare tad . . . he'll see four things: first Kṛṣṇa, īśvara and tad-adhīna, the devotees . . . iśvare tad-adhīneṣu and bāliśeṣu. Bāliśa means people, ignorant men, who do not know what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They are called bāliśa, just like child. Child is called bāliśa. Ignorant men, bāliśeṣu, dviṣatsu ca, and other class. He'll see four things: īśvara, the Supreme Personality of Godhead—he'll see the devotees of Kṛṣṇa, he'll see some ignorant person and he'll see some envious person. That you will have to meet. If you become preacher, then you'll create so many enemies also. Just like Prahlāda Mahārāja: his father became enemy, not outside. Outside he might have many enemies, but the five-years-old boy, because he was taking opportunity in the school, and as soon as the teachers are out, in the tiffin hour, he would immediately stand up on the bench and preach . . . you have seen the picture. He was preaching amongst his small class friend. That preaching work is there in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, how he was intelligently preaching.
