The Most Important Thing In Life!
Lady: What is the most important thing in life?
Prabhupada: To understand yourself. If you misidentify yourself that you are this body, then you are finished. Our most important... Athato brahma jijnasa. The question should be, "What I am? Am I this body or something else?" That is most important thing. That is the beginning of Vedanta-sutra knowledge, athato brahma jijnasa. The animals cannot ask "Whether I am dog or I am something else?" And if the man is kept into darkness, that he has no question, "Whether I am this or that?" then he is animal. So the most important thing according to our Vedic culture is to understand oneself, "What I am."

Unlimited Followers In The US!
Press man: Do you know how many followers there are in the United States now?
Prabhupada: Unlimited. [devotees roar] Some of them admit and some of them do not admit. That's all. [laughter] Everyone is eternally servant of God, but some of them admit and some of them do not admit. That is the difficulty.

Читать полностью…Professional Bhagavata Reciters; Better Slow But Sure!
Without understanding, if you follow like a storm, that is no use. That is no use. Slow, but sure. Go slow... And that is the defect in the modern. If somebody can recite Bhagavad-gita like storm, it is to be understood he has perfected himself. No. Let him explain at least one word of Bhagavad-gita. That is wanted. Slow, but sure. That is going on. The professional Bhagavata reciters, they jump over Krsna's rasa-lila. The rascal does not explain the first line of Bhagavad-gi..., Bhagavatam, janmady asya yatah [SB 1.1.1]. It requires many years to understand that one word, janmady asya yata, and he jumps over: "Bhagavata recitation means rasa-lila." That is going on. That has spoiled the whole atmosphere.

What Is Given By God Is Also God!
What I am doing, it was all taught in our childhood by our parents, my family. We were taught, "There is a grain of rice on the ground, and if it is touched by your feet, you should pick up the grain and touch on your head." This was our training. The idea behind -- that the grain of rice is not man-made; it is sent by God. "O God, give us our daily bread." So here is the bread. It is God's mercy. Just see how idea, great idea. What is given by God, that is also God. This is God consciousness. You are asking God's mercy, so God's mercy is also God, the Absolute. So how can you disrespect a thing which is given by God? You cannot produce rice. You cannot produce bread. It is given by God. Everything.

The best Use Of This Bad Bargain!
Devotional service must continue under all circumstances. This material body is actually a bad bargain because it is prone to suffer, but we must make the best use of this bad bargain. That means to always be engaged in the service of Krishna without fail.

Читать полностью…Real Enjoyment!
We, the living entities, are meant for enjoyment, but we are seeking enjoyment in a false place -- in an illusion. We are like the desert animals who run after water in a mirage and eventually die of thirst. They cannot relieve their thirst with such illusory water. Similarly, we are trying to manufacture many things to satisfy our thirst for enjoyment, but we are being baffled at every turn because material existence is an illusion. Therefore real intelligence means to inquire, "Where is the reality? Where is the eternal substance behind the illusion?" If we can find that out, we can experience real enjoyment.
