     11:59  Whatever energy you have, utilize it for understanding Krsna consciousness. That is real progress. Make your spiritual understanding - your understanding of God and self - perfectly clear‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
     11:57  First you must understand what actual progress is. The thing is that if you try to progress vainly, what is the use of trying? If it is a fact you cannot change your material destiny, why should you try for that‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

     11:12  How can I believe it - that by working harder I will not get more material happiness than I would otherwise have had? - Because you are undergoing so many distressing conditions even though you do not want them‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
     11:12  Prahlada Maharaja says, na tat-prayasah kartavyam: you should not waste your energy for material happiness, because you cannot get more than what you are destined to have. That is not possible‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

     10:39  Everyone should offer up the fruits of his occupational duty to the lotus feet of the Lord Visnu , or Krsna." That is why the Vedic system is called varnasrama - literally, "social organization with a spiritual perspective‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
     10:38  The materialistic workers - they see, "These men are not working like us, like dogs & asses. So they are escaping."

     10:30  Busy-ness is so important that Prahlada Maharaja says, kaumara acaret prajno: (SB 7.6.1) "Beginning from childhood, one should work for self-realization." One should not lose a second's time. So that is Vedic civilization‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

     10:28  They (karmis) work like asses, without any real aim of life‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

     10:13  The ass works very hard for no tangible gain. He carries on his back tons of cloth for the washerman, and the washerman in return gives him a little morsel of grass‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
     10:09  We are escaping their reality. But their reality is a dog's race, and our reality is to advance in self-realization, Krsna consciousness. That is the difference. Therefore the mundane, materialistic workers have been described as mudhas, asses‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
     10:09  The Vedic civilization is for self-realization. It is meant for the intelligent person, the person who will not just work like an ass but who will try for that thing which he did not achieve in so many other lives - namely, self-realization‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
