8 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lila, Ch. 12

disciple, to divide the useful from the useless, one must measure the activities of
such disciples in executing the will of the spiritual master. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Thakura tried his best to spread the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to countries
outside India. When he was present he patronized the disciples to go outside India
to preach the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, but they were unsuccessful because
within their minds they were not actually serious about preaching His cult in foreign
countries; they simply wanted to take credit for having gone to foreign lands and
utilize this recognition in India by advertising themselves as repatriated preachers.
Many svamis have adopted this hypocritical means of preaching for the last eighty
years or more, but no one could preach the real cult of Krsna consciousness all over
the world. They merely came back to India falsely advertising that they had con-
verted all the foreigners to the ideas of Vedanta or Krsna consciousness, and then
they collected funds in India and lived satisfied lives of material comfort. As one
fans paddy to separate the real paddy from useless straw, by accepting the
criterion recommended by Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami one can very easily under-
stand who is a genuine world-preacher and who is useless.
