Sincere preaching to deliver fallen souls is more dear to Krishna than seeking one's own liberation.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Seventh Canto, Ninth Chapter, text number 44. [chants verse; devotees respond] prāyeṇa deva munayaḥ sva-vimukti-kāmā maunaṁ caranti vijane na parārtha-niṣṭhāḥ naitān vihāya kṛpaṇān vimumukṣa eko nānyaṁ tvad asya śaraṇaṁ bhramato 'nupaśye [SB 7.9.44]
Prabhupāda: Verse number? Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Text 44. Ninth Chapter. [continues chanting verse; devotees respond] [break] [chants synonyms, devotees responding] [break] "...to go back to home, back to Godhead; eka—alone; na—neither; anyam—any other person; tvad asya—except the..." This word is missing? "Except the..." Tvad asya?
Prabhupāda: Tvad? Where it is? Maunaṁ caranti vijane na parārtha, naitān vihāya... Where is tvad asya?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Tvad asya, the translation was not typed in.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Nānyaṁ tvad asya śaraṇaṁ bhramato 'nupaśye: "Except Yourself, I don't find he has got any hope who'll deliver him."

The preacher who are preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they must be convinced that without accepting Kṛṣṇa consciousness, nobody has any means of escaping these stringent laws of material nature. It is everywhere stated. In the Bhagavad-gītā also it is stated, mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti [Bg 7.14].
But unfortunately, the conditioned souls, although they are very, very much afflicted with the pressure of material nature, they have become callous. Every moment, every second, they are being controlled, and still they are thinking they can do anything and everything independently. So in this way they are suffering.
