In devotional service there is no frustration; even if we perform only a small amount, it will grow. Devotional service is never lost. As far as material things are concerned, whatever we gain in the world will be lost when the body is finished. But since we are eternal spiritual sparks, our spiritual assets go with us, gradually fructifying. In this way those who have previously cultivated transcendental consciousness come in contact with Krsna consciousness through this movement. Interest in Krsna consciousness is not commonplace. In Bhagavad-gita it is said that out of many millions and billions of persons, only one is interested in achieving perfection.

Just like if you enquire how many fools are there, you will find only..., you will find practically everyone is fool. But if you want to see how many M.A.'s are there, it will be very difficult to find out.
(More...) So it is by Krsna's, mean, Lord Caitanya's mercy that we are preaching Krsna consciousness all over the world, and the fortunate, those who are very, very fortunate, they are coming to it. Otherwise, it is not very easy thing that people are interested in brahma-siddhaye. And brahma-siddhaye means complete self-realization, or perfect self-realization. That is called brahma-siddhi. To understand first of all Brahman... Jnana-vairagya-yuktena. That is also bhakti-yuktena. In previous verse we have discussed that,
