The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena of Sankirtan, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly to spread the mission of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Everyone who is absorbed in the great arena of Sankirtan forgets the fault finders and envious critics who can only watch from the sidelines.


"It is not the critic who counts; nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs,
who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,

And who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

(Theodore Roosevelt 26th President of the United States)
