The credit belongs to those who preach to the fallen conditioned living entities who are trapped in a temporary material bodily vessel, by helping them all wake up and return back home, back to Godhead to their original home in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavana.
Srila Prabhupada told us we can take good instructions from anyone, from a Brahmana (Priest or teacher), a sudra (Labourer) or even an untouchable (the most fallen), if they are good pious instructions.
This is because wisdom like Gold, can NEVER be contaminated, if Gold is found in a clean or unclean place, it always remains pure Gold.
Like this poem -
“It's not the critic that counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or whether the doer of the 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 and often comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause.
And who, if at best in the end, knows the triumph of higher treatment and high achievements.
And at worst, if fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones who know neither victory nor defeat”
(Taken from Theodore Roosevelt the 26th President Of The United States, from 1901-1912)
All credit for success can only belong to those who are actually out there in the arena among the billions of living entities, attempting to awaken them all to their original Spiritual identity beyond the confinement of the temporary material bodily vessel, and help direct them back home, back to Godhead.
