You have the potential, but must practice with sincere chanting and service to Vaishnavas – all Vaishnavas. Not just gurus and sanyasis. Here in Radha Gopinath Mandir, I have witnessed devotees – important, senior devotees – who will even selflessly serve young, uninitiated bhaktas and bhaktins and relish the opportunity to serve them. This you must practice more and more, and it will also enhance your service of preaching to newcomers who visit the temple.
