First Of All Make Ourselves Perfect - Prabhupada 0604

If you want to go California, you have to go there. Simply I am thinking, "I am going to California, California," will that . . .? No.

So similarly, actually if you want peace, then you have to work. The process is there. The process open for everyone, but you have to take it. Otherwise it is not possible. Therefore Lord Caitanya says, manuṣya-janma sārthaka kari (CC Adi 9.41): "You first of all make yourself perfect, then preach." Don't become yourself nonsense, and you become a preacher. No.
