This Is Called Prīti
So this is prīti. The more you chant, the more you become attached: "Let me chant more." Not disgusted, but "Let me chant more." This is called prīti.
SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM 6.1.15 LECTURE - NEW YORK, AUGUST 1, 1971
Using Sandalwood For Cooking!
There is distinction even in wood. There are so many jungle wood, we can use it for cooking. But if the sandalwood, which is so valuable, if we do not know what is the value of sandalwood, if we use it for cooking and burning... Similarly, if we use this human form of life exactly like the cats and dogs, simply for sense gratification, then we are committing suicide.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad- Bhagavatam 6.1.1 -- Honolulu, May 5, 1976

Читать полностью…Kṛṣṇa Please Pick Me Up
We must simply pray, “Kṛṣṇa, please pick me up.” As soon as we forget Kṛṣṇa, the ocean of illusion is there, and it at once captures us. The chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa is most important in order to escape from this ocean.

Читать полностью…You cannot stop old age and diseases, birth, death
Prabhupāda: Eh? You cannot! Can you help people to stop death? Or to stop disease? Or to stop old age? I am becoming old. Can you stop?
Robert Gouiran: I think so.
Prabhupāda: That is foolishness. If you think that you can stop my old age growing, then that is foolishness. It is not possible.
Robert Gouiran: I think there is a misunderstanding there.
Prabhupāda: No, no. I am... A man grows old. Can you stop it?
Robert Gouiran: I can't stop time, of course.
Prabhupāda: That is we are speaking, that you cannot do anything. Even in spite of your so-called health, you will grow old. You cannot stop it.
Robert Gouiran: So you don't think that somebody could be an instrument to help other?
Prabhupāda: What is that instrument if this instrument is blunt, or what is the use of that instrument? Simply possessing one instrument is sufficient? It must work, but if it does not work? You cannot stop death, you cannot stop birth, you cannot stop old age, you cannot stop disease.

Читать полностью…A true brahmana and guru is known by his qualities, not merely by birth;
before taking initiation, a candidate should be convinced that his prospective guru is proficient both in understanding and explaining scripture and thus able to lift his disciples out of ignorance. A real guru must be of spotless character and have sincere compassion upon fallen souls.

Social Structure Reform By Krishna Consciousness!
It is not only in India--all over the world.There cannot be peace unless you reform the whole social structure, and that can be done only by Krishna consciousness.
- Srila Prabhupada; Surat, January 3, 1971
Our Status Of Spiritual Strength
I may inform you that in order to maintain our status of spiritual strength, everyone of us must very rigidly chant daily sixteen rounds without fail and follow the regulative principles strictly.

Читать полностью…But pure devotees do not even want to go to Krishna's abode. Simply our prayer should be, My dear Krishna, please remind me to always chant Your Holy Name, please do not put me into forgetfulness. You are sitting within me as Supersoul, so you can put me into forgetfulness or into remembering You. So please do not put me into forgetfulness. Please always remind me to chant, even You send me into the hell, it doesn't matter, just so long as I can always chant Hare Krishna.

Shedding Three Tons Of Blood!
They have forgotten Krsna, they have forgotten God, and I am trying to make them Krsna conscious. It is a very difficult job. I have to shed my blood three tons before I make one convinced in Krsna consciousness. That is my experience. I have to talk with him, especially these Europeans and Americans. They do not accept anything so blindly.
- Srila Prabhupada, Conversation -- April 18, 1972, Hong Kong
Asirvada (Blessing)
All these men, they simply want asirvada. They don't want Krsna. They want asirvada so that their nefarious activities may continue peacefully. The difficulty is sometimes Krsna's asirvada may be just the opposite. Krsna will take away. So at that time they become atheist.
- Srila Prabhupada -- Tokyo, April 25, 1972
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
कभी-कभी असुरगण भक्त को यह घोषित करते हैं कि वे ईश्वर के अस्तित्व को इसलिए नहीं मानते; क्योंकि वे उन्हें देख नहीं सकते। किन्तु असुर जो कुछ नहीं जानता उसका वर्णन स्वयं श्रीभगवान् ने श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता (७.२५) में किया है—नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः—“मैं कभी अल्पज्ञ तथा अज्ञानी के समक्ष प्रकट नहीं होता। उनके लिए मैं योगमाया से आवृत रहा करता हूँ।" श्रीभगवान् केवल भक्तों द्वारा देखे जाने हेतु अनावृत रहते हैं, परन्तु अभक्त उन्हें नहीं देख सकते।
(SB 7.8.12 तात्पर्य)
