By serving this devotee I am serving Krishna; by associating with this devotee I am hearing about Krishna. Krishna has to be there in all the activities. If Krishna is there and the goal is there, then we can do so many other things. We can work together, we can build together, and we can organize festivals together. But if Krishna is not there, then what is the value, what is going to be obtained? Simply some profit in the material world.
