- BG 9.27: "O son of Kunti, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform, should be done as an offering unto Me." Grhasthas should spend extra money only for the KC movement

S
- Sarva-dharman - You just surrender unto Me. Because your original creation is meant for serving Me
- Since I am the best of all bestowers of benediction, I appeared in this same form as Krsna to ask you (Devaki and Vasudeva) to take from Me the benediction you desired. You then expressed your desire to have a son exactly like Me - SB 10.3.37-38
- So this is called accepting and rejecting. So Krsna says, "You have to give up all this nonsense accepting and rejecting. You have to take to Me, then you'll be happy
T
- The best explanation is given by Krsna Himself: "By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them." (BG 9.4) Everything is an expansion of Krsna's energy
- The highest perfection of life is to come back to Me, and you get the spiritual body, eternal body, blissful life, full of pleasure
- The impersonal Brahman is My partial manifestation, and there is no truth superior to Me
- The Lord (Krsna) says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 7.1): Now hear, O son of Prtha (Arjuna), how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt
- The Lord (Krsna) says to Arjuna, "tat srnu," or "Hear from Me." No one can be a greater authority than Krsna, and therefore by hearing from Him one receives the greatest opportunity for progress in Krsna consciousness. BG 1972 purports
- The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.29): "I (Krsna) envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him"

- The Lord says in the Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.4): By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them
- The Lord says that "One who comes to Me," mam upetya, - he hasn't got to come back to this condition of miserable life
- The Lord says: Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me
- The SPG says in Bhagavad-gita (9.4): "By Me, in My (Krsna's) unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them." This explains the philosophy of simultaneous oneness & difference, known as acintya-bhedabheda
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is thus described in Bhagavad-gita: "By Me (Krsna), in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them." - BG 9.4
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Freed from all sinful reactions are those who rise from bed at the end of night, early in the morning, and fully concentrate their minds with great attention upon the residential quarters of Me
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.32): "O son of Prtha, those who take shelter in Me (Krsna), though they be of lower birth - women, vaisyas (merchants), as well as sudras (workers) - can approach the supreme destination
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, advises, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: "Give up all other varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me"
- The word nipat means "to fall down," and pra means "without reservation." Transcendental knowledge is based on pranipata. Therefore Krsna says: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. (BG 18.66) - Just surrender unto Me
- These things will not satisfy you, My dear boy. - Sarva-dharman pari . . . "You give up all this nonsense. Come to Me. I shall give you all protection." But we don't want to take protection. What God will do
- They are decrying Me, neglecting. - Why? Param bhavam ajanantah. "They do not know the real constitutional position of Me." Param bhavam means "the supreme truth about Me."
- They want to remain servant of maya. So let Me directly say: 'You rascal, give up all this engagement. Surrender unto Me.' - That is Krsna
- This (accepting Krsna as an ordinary human being) is condemned in the Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.11): Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be
- This (that Visnu is the original cause of everything) is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (BG 10.8), wherein Krsna says, aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate: "I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me."
- Those who are chanting and dancing, they are realizing. Why? Because Krsna Himself is delivering, "All right. Take Me. It is very difficult to understand Me, you are so defective. But I give Myself to you. Come on." This is Krsna consciousness movement
- To condemn the theories of the Mayavadis, the Lord (Krsna) clearly says in Bhagavad-gita, mat-sthani sarva-bhutani na caham tesv avasthitah: (BG 9.4) "All beings are in Me, but I am not in them"
W
- We are worshiping. Because Krsna says, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji: "Worship Me." Regularly worship, as it is prescribed in the sastra: to rise early in the morning, to have mangala arati, to offer this, to offer that, offer that - fully engaged
- We have to repose our mind to the form of Krsna. Krsna says mayi, "Unto Me." We cannot see now Krsna personally. Personally He is here, but we want to see anything physically. Physically He is also there
- We know God, Krsna, and Krsna says, man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah (BG 18.65): "Always think of Me." This is meditation. So we meditate upon Krsna. So that is perfect meditation, because meditation means to think of God
- What is the purpose of all Vedic literatures? On whom do they focus? Who is the object of all speculation? Outside of Me no one knows these things. Now you should know that all these activities are aimed at ordaining and setting forth Me
- When He (Krsna) says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66) - "Give up all other duties and surrender unto Me" - He is speaking not only to Arjuna but to everyone
- When the whole universe dissolves, I remain full in Myself, and everything that was manifested is again preserved in Me
- When we raise our unmixed faith to the lotus feet of Krsna, everything is revealed. Krsna says in BG 7.1: "Now hear, O son of Prtha, how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt"
- Why should you be implicated in these material activities (becoming Rockefeller, Ford & Brahma)? Try to come to Me (Krsna), back to home, back to Godhead. Then you'll haven't got to return again in this material world. That is the highest perfection
- Why you have created so many rascaldom, politics and economics and this and that? So many things are encumbered. Please come to Me. You'll be happy. - This is the whole instruction of Bhagavad-gita
Y
- You are falsely claiming that it is your property. It is not your property. So when Krsna asks you that "Give Me in charity," so that - you are foolishly thinking that it is your money
