✨ Don't Take Poison ✨
The More You Become Attached
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
Read, Read, Read!
Bhagavata is the only guide. Read Bhagavata repeatedly, whole life. Safe. Always. Always, whenever there is time, read, read, read.
- Srila Prabhupada, Room Conversation -- February 16, 1977, Mayapur
So without becoming a disciple in the bhakti-yoga, nobody can study Kṛṣṇa. It is not possible. Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ [Bg. 18.55]. So the whole thing, Bhagavad-gītā is there, how to understand Kṛṣṇa. As soon as you understand Kṛṣṇa, tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya [Bg. 4.9] = there is no more again birth in this material world. You go back to home, back to Godhead.
*SP lecture on BG 1.31*
July 24,1973 London.
No More Offenses!
I remember being present when you were giving darsana in Bhaktivedanta Manor once, and a devotee referred to a passage you wrote in the eighth chapter of The Nectar of Devotion: "The chanting of Hare Krsna is beneficial for eradicating all sins, but if one becomes an offender to the holy names of the Lord, then he has no chance of being delivered." The devotee appealed to you, that "isn't there some way of becoming free from these offenses?" You looked at him very gravely and replied, "You are asking this question because you want to offend. Then you want to do something to escape those reactions. But you must stop your offenses. No more offenses."
- Bhakti Caitanya Swami, Vyasa-puja offering, 2000.
False devotees may think that simply shedding tears will lead one to the transcendental plane, even if one has not had a factual change in heart, but such a practice is useless if there is no transcendental realization. False devotees, lacking the conclusion of transcendental knowledge, think that artificially shedding tears will deliver them. Similarly, other false devotees think that studying books of the previous ācāryas is unadvisable, like studying dry empiric philosophies. But Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, following the previous ācāryas, has inculcated the conclusions of the scriptures in the six theses called the Ṣaṭ-sandarbhas. False devotees who have very little knowledge of such conclusions fail to achieve pure devotion for want of zeal in accepting the favorable directions for devotional service given by self-realized devotees. Such false devotees are like impersonalists, who also consider devotional service no better than ordinary fruitive actions.

Читать полностью…Krsna's Slap!
A devotee does not take suffering seriously. Tat te 'nukampam susumiksamanah [SB 10.14.8]. A devotee thinks, "It is the favor of Krsna that He has put me into suffering." They never see suffering as suffering. It is favor of Krsna. That is devotee's vision. [break] It is exactly like a son who knows his father well. If the father slaps, the son never protests. He knows that "It is good for me." Similarly, a devotee never is disturbed when there is suffering given by Krsna. The karmi is different. The karmi is suffering... He is suffering just like criminal is suffering. A criminal is given slap by the police. That slap and the father is giving slap, that slap is different. Although it looks the same thing, but there is a great difference.
- Srila Prabhupada, Morning Walk -- May 1, 1974, Bombay
You Are Not Krsna!
Umapati: [rephrasing question from devotee] The question was that Krsna had said that He would not take part in the Battle of Kuruksetra, but later on He did. So He had actually changed His word. So does the devotee also sometimes do that -- say one thing but later on change his mind?
Prabhupada: You are not Krsna. [laughing] You are servant of Krsna. Don't try to imitate the master. That is folly. You are servant, you remain always servant. Don't try to imitate the master. Krsna has lifted the hill. Can you do that [laughing] by imitation? Don't try to imitate. Follow His instruction. That is wanted. Krsna can do anything. He is God.
- Srila Prabhupada/ Talk on Bhagavad-gita 15.15 -- August 5, 1976, New Mayapur
