If you want to preach, do you have to be a singer and a good lecturer? Or you can also be a preacher by adding other qualities. Yes, Guru Mahat. When I don't do so services, I become spiritually weak and lazy. And when I do services, I think I am better than others and try to impress others. Which leads to offend others and overlook their selfless devotion service. I know I am maintaining strong material attachment and desire to enjoy this world.
