Here’s the same point in a another style that may be a little easier to digest for many. From the Contemporary Urban Preaching Seminars:

One day some devotees asked Srila Prabhupada: “Srila Prabhupada, if a devotee sincerely presents Krishna Consciousness to someone, and that person rejects it - whose fault is that?”

Srila Prabhupada replied: “It is the fault of that person - they are envious, like a snake”.

But he didn’t leave it at that. He didn’t just say it was their fault and leave it at that. He continued: “So you must become expert snake charmers.”
