*We Should Not Be Puffed Up!*
A pure devotee always thinks himself as not-devotee. If one thinks he is big devotee that is not good, thinking that he is first degree. We should not be puffed up. A devotee avoids it, remaining always in the second degree.
_- From Srila Prabhupada's letter to Sukadeva - Calcutta, 4 March, 1973_
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (ISKCON Founder Acharya)
"Tolerance means that one should be practiced to bear insult and dishonor from others. If one is engaged in the advancement of spiritual knowledge, there will be so many insults and much dishonor from others. This is expected because material nature is so constituted."
(Bhagavad-Gita :― Chapter 13: Nature, the Enjoyer, and Consciousness. Verse 8-12)
No Rest In The Spiritual World!
In the material world we want to minimize our activities and take rest more but in the spiritual world, there is no rest and there is no limit of activities. Krishna is unlimited, His service is unlimited, and the energy of His servants is unlimited. Although we are in the midst of ignorance, still if we keep ourselves alert there is no place of ignorance.
- From Srila Prabhupada's letter to Tamala Krsna -- Hawaii 18 March, 1969
Better Than Sannyasa!
So far as your working engagement is concerned, certainly you are not a karmi. Any person whose constant occupation is Krishna Consciousness, he is not a karmi; he is a devotee in all circumstances. So you should accept the best source of monetary income and use it for Krishna. And that is better than sannyasa. So stick to your job and use it for Krishna Consciousness. You are not a karmi.

Читать полностью…*Changing Dress But Not Being Serious!*
Simply by changing dress, one does not improve unless he seriously takes the principles of devotional service. But in the Kali-yuga, they'll think, "Because I have changed my dress, I have become a big sannyasi." You see? "Because I have got a sacred thread, now I am a brahmana." No. There must be regular training.
_- Srila Prabhupada--March 12, 1974_

Our Dearmost Friend!
Always remember Krsna Who is your dearmost friend and always serve Him just to please Him, and He will give you all intelligence how to be a first-class devotee.
- From Srila Prabhupada's letter to Mr. DDD -- Los Angeles 3 March, 1970
VAISHNAVA NEVER THINK I AM BETTER THAN OTHERS
One has to be blessed by a devotee to become a devotee. And he who is the servant of the servant of the servant- one hundred times removed- is not worse than one who directly serves the Guru. If one thinks, 'Because, I am servant, I am better than others. then he is not a Vaisnava. To offer one's respects to Guru and not to his disciples, this is wrong. This is not Vaisnava. One has to be
humble and try to serve all vaisnava- not some and not others

*Dedicate Your Life For Krsna!*
Dedicate your life for Krsna. That is the perfection. Even there are some faults, even dedicated life is noble life. Maybe, due to our past habits, we may commit some faulty action, but that dedicated life is sublime.

Читать полностью…Krsna's Position!
Everyone is being controlled by God, but a devotee is so exalted that Krsna says that "I wish to be controlled by you." This is Krsna's position.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad- Bhagavatam 2.1.1 -- Vrndavana, March 16, 1974
All Perfections Come From The Holy Name
The Lord and His name are the same. This will be understood clearly when the coverings in your heart are removed. By chanting without offenses you will personally realize that all perfections come from the holy name.
From Srila Prabhupadera Patravali Vol. I, pp. 4-5
Serve The Servant!
To serve the servant of Krsna is better than to serve directly Krsna, because if the servant of Krsna promises something, if the servant of Krsna says, "I'll take you to Krsnaloka," you must go there.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad- Bhagavatam 7.9.29 -- Mayapur, March 7, 1976
