It is a Voluntary Process

The process of Krishna consciousness can seem complex with so many things going on throughout the year. However, I believe that we must keep things simple. For me, one of the simple things to keep in mind, that is not to forget, is that this Krishna Consciousness is a voluntary process. 

Yes, it is the summum bonum of all thoughts,most sublime philosophy and the cream of all knowledge. It talks about love of God and how this human life is so very rare that we must perfect it etc etc. No doubt when we contemplate or even reach out to others, we may stress, pause or in-between speak about this gem-like knowledge but we should never fail to understand that at the end-of-the-day this is a voluntary process. 

Even Krishna after speaking the entire Gita to Arjuna and after showing His Universal Form which was awe-inspiring and non-debatable as far as Supremacy goes, finally, concludes by saying "yathecchasi tathā kuru" or "do what you wish to do". So this wish belongs to us. This freedom of choice that is given to us is always ours to hold. Krishna never interferes with it. 

Similarly, when we expect others to listen or follow or when we think such and such is wasting his or her life or when we imitate an acharya and feel sorry for the whole wide world, we have to remember that at the end of the day this is all voluntary and that voluntarism is also part of Krishna's creation,Krishna's plan!

Therefore, as a respect to Krishna, and the living being's personal space, we have to let them be, let them decide and let them make a decision and after a certain-point stop preaching and just be a well-wisher!
