- Simply by thinking, "I have become liberated," and I am handicapped by so many bad habits, that is not liberation. That is simply mental concoction. Real liberation is bhakti-yoga

- The very concept that the three merge into one is another form of knowledge, and since the perceiver of the knowledge still exists, how can one say that the knower, knowledge and knowable have become one?
- The word jnana-ghanaya is especially used here (in SB 8.3.12) to refer to those whose knowledge has become solidified by dint of their searching for the Lord through speculative philosophical understanding
- Their whole life is miserable condition, tri-tapa-yatana, adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika, but we are so foolish, we have accepted this miserable condition of life as customary. So they have become accustomed

- These rascals, they're declaring, "I am God. I am Krsna." So only the rascals will follow such rascals. A man is known by his company. So God has become so cheap
- These self-made "Gods" cannot answer all these questions very clearly; they are simply satisfied to have become "God" themselves
- These statements are there in the Srimad-Bhagavatam in the story of Maharaja Prthu. So prakrti said that, "Because people have become godless, demons, I have restricted my supply." Therefore everything depends on the mercy of the Lord
- They (big mudhas) are falsely thinking that they have become liberated, they have become Narayana. How you can become Narayana

- This is called surrender that, "I have tried to satisfy my . . . the whims of my senses so many lives. I have become frustrated, confused. Let me try this life to satisfy the senses of Krsna." That's all
- This is real knowledge, to remain always insignificant before guru, Krsna. Then it is profit. If somebody thinks that "I have become more than my guru, more than Krsna," then he is finished
- This killing and keeping organized slaughterhouse killing is the same thing. Just see. People have become so degraded
- This Krsna consciousness movement is not a sentimental movement, not a bluffing movement, that a man has become God by some mystic power or this... No. It is a science. One has to study
- This Krsna consciousness movement wants to see that every house has become a temple of Krsna
- This Prahlada-caritra play, drama, is very instructive. Although it is not played on a very nice stage, theatrical, but the feeling expressed by the devotees in playing this Prahlada-caritra has become very successful
- Those who are mahatmas, whose hearts have become magnified, understand that - everything belongs to God, and I also belong to God

U

W
- We (Jamadagni and Parasurama) are all brahmanas & have become worshipable for the people in general because of our quality of forgiveness. It is because of this quality that Lord Brahma, the supreme spiritual master of this universe, has achieved his post
- We all have some "skin disease," which is the body, and therefore we are suffering. Because we have become such rascals, we are thinking, - I am this body
- We are all sadhus, actually, originally, because we are part and parcel of Krsna, but in contact with maya we have become asadhu. Sadhu means who are pure devotees. Bhajate mam ananya-bhak. That is sadhu
- We are entangled by a very terrible fear, but we have become so dull due to the spell of maya that we do not care
- We are not easy-going, that not to preach. We have taken the risk to preach. And it has, it is becoming successful. People will take it

- We have become very proud of our education, but we tell material nature, "Thank you very much for kicking me. Now please continue." Thus deluded, we think that we have even conquered material nature. But how is this so
- We have to mold our life, and the Krsna consciousness movement is the best process. Therefore those who are sinful, those who are atheist, they have become little afraid of this movement
- We should not criticize the Ramakrishna Mission by name, or directly, for they have become somehow or other popular and people are against us for it. So carefully avoid this type of preaching
- We speak about God, they think that "These people have become crazy. They are, in this modern civilization, talking of God. What is this nonsense?" This is the position. But that is not the fact. God is there

- Without knowing the supreme position of the Lord. Cheaply they select God. God has become so cheap. "I am God, you are God." What is the meaning of God? Do you know? If I am God, you are God, then what is the meaning of God?
Y
- Yamunacarya says, Since I have become attracted by the beauty of Radha and Krsna, when there is attraction for a woman or a memory of sex life with a woman, I at once spit on it, and my face turns in disgust
- Yamunacarya, a great acarya, said that ever since he had seen the charming pastimes of the Lord, the charms of sex life had become abominable for him, and the mere thought of sex enjoyment would cause him to spit and turn his face
- Yoginam api sarvesam mad-gatenantar-atmana: within the core of the heart, he's thinking of Krsna. This is the ideal Transcendental Medition, Meditation. It has become a medicine now
- You are very much puffed up with pride and have become almost insane. Presently you have assumed the form of a cow by your mystic powers. Nonetheless I shall cut you into small pieces like grain
- You can manufacture nice medicine, but you cannot stop disease. So we have become steel-hearted, steel-framed heart. We do not consider all these things

- You have forgotten that (Radha-Krsna consciousness) is your natural position. You have forgotten the service of Radha-Krsna, therefore you have become the servant of maya, your senses
- You have to seek the mercy both of Krsna and guru, not that you have become so advanced that you are directly in connection with Krsna, and whatever you are doing, it is mercy. No. Don't think like that. It must be guided, it must be confirmed by guru
- You have written your Bhagavad-gita, and you don't believe Krsna as Supreme Lord, God. Therefore by reading your Bhagavad-gita people have become godless. So you better rectify your mistake
- You write to say that you have become frustrated with so many dualities of the material world and that sometimes you are engaged in sense gratification and sometimes renouncing
- Your service will be recognized by Krsna. Don't think that because you are teaching a sudra how to work like this, you have become a sudra. You are not sudras, any circumstances
