In the same way we see that everyone in this material world, they are in a diseased condition, because they all think that they are these bodies. So they resist. “What is this person doing approaching me, telling me about God?” But we have to do it. This like a doctor, he has a duty, he has to help the patient. We also have to help materialists to awaken their attraction to Krishna. So out of compassion, devotees preach.
