Text 100) Explanations of the Atmarama Verse 133
hrsikena hrsikesa-
sevanam bhaktir ucyate
(Narada-paficaratra)
To make a show of devotional service will not help one. One must be a pure
devotee following the devotional process; then one can convert others to devo-
tional service. $ri Caitanya Mahaprabhu practiced devotional service and
preached (apani dcari’ bhakti karila pracdra). |f a preacher behaves properly in
devotional service, he will be able to convert others. Otherwise, his preaching will
have no effect.
