"Lord Krishna says, mad-bhakta-pujabhyadhika: 'The worship of My devotees is better than worship of Me.' Similarly, in the Siva Purana, it is stated that the best mode of worship is to offer oblations to Visnu, but better than that is to worship the devotees of Krishna."
(Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.3.3, Purport)
