- When, because of self-satisfaction or dislike of excessive labor, a person does not perform his duty in spite of having the energy, he is called lazy. This laziness also is manifest in ecstatic love of Krsna
- Whether one is a prakrta-sahajiya or a mundane opportunist or scholar, one’s labor to understand these topics by mundane means will ultimately be frustrated. One therefore has to give up all mundane attempts and try to become a pure devotee of Visnu
- Whether one is a woman or a laborer or a merchant, if he engages himself in the devotional service of the Lord he is promoted to the highest perfectional state and goes back home, back to Godhead
- With great labor, austerity and penance, he (a person) may be elevated to the liberated platform, but for want of shelter at the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord, he falls down again into material contamination

- You are making strong building, but you are not strong enough to live there. And why you are laboring so much? What is the answer
- You don't require to labor and pay somewhere some five dollars, ten dollars, and practice this gymnastic. No. It is not possible. And as soon as you come out, you'll again engage yourself in all nonsense activities
- You have got nice office, material point of view, nice business. So if you perform that business, office work, your duty, very nicely, but you have no Krsna consciousness, sastra says that srama eva hi kevalam. It is simply wasting time and laboring hard
- You have said, "I am not fatigued from labor." Although the soul is different from the body, there is fatigue because of bodily labor, & it appears to be the fatigue of the soul. When you are carrying the palanquin, there is certainly labor for the soul
- You must determine if it will be easy task to raise so much money, not that we shall have to labour so much just to get money and after for maintaining, so much so that our spiritual life becomes neglected, no
- You should very seriously and with a cool head apply yourself to getting that place or some other place as soon as possible. Otherwise Krsna may take away this golden opportunity, being disappointed by our lack of enthusiasm and labor
- Your honest labor is now coming to be fructified. Always depend upon Krishna and go on working with enthusiasm, patience and conviction
