Next verse Krishna expresses how dear are the devotees who shares His message to others.
Bg 18.69
na ca tasmān manuṣyeṣu
kaścin me priya-kṛttamaḥ
bhavitā na ca me tasmād
anyaḥ priya-taro bhuvi
Synonyms:
na — never; ca — and; tasmāt — than him; manuṣyeṣu — among men; kaścit — anyone; me — to Me; priya–kṛt–tamaḥ — more dear; bhavitā — will become; na — nor; ca — and; me — to Me; tasmāt — than him; anyaḥ — another; priya–taraḥ — dearer; bhuvi — in this world.
Translation:
There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear.
na ca tasmān manuṣyeṣu, among all human beings
kaścin me priya-kṛttamaḥ, there is no one who will be more dear to Me then this
bhavitā na ca me tasmād, bhavitā even in the future
anyaḥ priya-taro bhuvi, anyone in this world who is more dear to Me.
Sometimes we also promises to someone that I love you so much I can do anything for you then when the person ask something we say no-no I cannot do that may be in future I can do…so Krishna is saying don’t think my statement as sentimental even in the future also there will not be anyone who is more dear to Me then such a devotee. All the services for Krishna are important, preachers also need lot of services from team.
Preaching in broad sense inspiring other souls to come to Krishna it may be by action and also by words.
