Humility is the Key to Greatness

Although the duty of a Krishna conscious preacher is the most revolutionary mission of making the entire world Krishna conscious, he considers himself completely unfit to do so. This humility is the key to his greatness. He does not consider himself to be great. In fact, as far as he is concerned he is unqualified to give Krishna consciousness to anyone because he does not possess it himself. He sees that his only qualification for spreading Krishna consciousness is to act as the fully obedient messenger of his spiritual master because he knows that his spiritual master's message has the power to deliver every conditioned soul in the entire universe back to their original position in the spiritual sky. It is because of this humility that he is so effective in transforming the miserable conditioned souls of this world into fully enlightened, all-blissful, liberated souls.

Question: If Nothing Is Mine, Should I Let People Steal from Me?

In the Bhagavad-gita there is the word "nirmamah," which means that one should be free from the sense of proprietorship. What does it mean in a practical sense? I understand one aspect, that we should consider that whatever we have is given by Lord only and we should use it only in His service. But what does it mean in following cases?

If someone has illegally occupied some property for which we have paid, should we endeavor to get it back even to the point of going to court, or should we let them keep it?

Another example: I lent my relative 100,000 Rupees ($1,580 US Dollars) when he needed it. He has not returned it even after a couple of years. So I should ask him to give it back or not?

Your servant,
Neelam

Answer: Recover Krishna's Stolen Property

That property is Krishna's property and is meant to be engaged in Krishna's service, especially since it has been purchased by Krishna's devotee. If someone is interfering with this, it is your duty to take all necessary steps, even to the point of going to court, to secure that property for Krishna's service. This principle, that applies to property, also applies to money. When Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Hanuman took it as his duty to return her to Rama. In a similar way it is your duty to return that property and that money to the service of Krishna.
