- A diseased man, if you give a nice foodstuff, he cannot eat much. After tasting, "All right, that's all." Finished. Because he is diseased. And give to a healthy man, oh, he will take so much. This is a crude example
- A diseased man, when he gets back his healthy life, he becomes very happy. Similarly, as soon as we become freed from this designation life, we come to the real life of spiritual life

- A dog must find out a nice master. Otherwise it is a street dog; its condition is not very good. Similarly, a sudra means he must have a nice paying master. Otherwise his life is at risk
- A dog, unless it has got a nice master, it is street dog. A street dog. It has no value. Anyone can kill, and it has no shelter, loitering in the street

- Anyone who has gone into the factories, it is ferocious activities, unnecessarily economic development. So this is kastan, so much laboring. Even the animals, they do not undergo so much laboring
- Anyone who has got intelligence, he has got strength. Just like by intelligence, they have discovered the nuclear weapon. By dropping a nuclear weapon, hundreds and thousands of soldiers can be killed. There is no more need of maintaining a huge army
- Anyone who has no God consciousness, he has no qualification. However academically he may be very rich, he has no qualification. Manorathena asato dhavato bahih. His only qualification is mental concoction. That's all. He has no other qualification

- Anyone who is hesitating in accepting this principle of knowledge, or Krsna consciousness, for him, - nayam loko 'sti, - not even this material world will be happy. And what to speak of his next life
- Anyone who is narayana-parayana, he does not fear whether he is going to hell or heaven, because wherever he goes he is with Narayana, he is safe. It doesn't matter whether it is hell or heaven
- Anyone who is not devotee, who is not engaged in the service of the Lord, he is under the control of maya. And anyone who has surrendered to Krsna and is simply twenty-four hours engaged in the service of Krsna, he is not under the control of maya
- Anyone who is not Krsna conscious, and following blindly some rascals, he is imperfect and he will suffer. And because we have taken Krsna's shelter, Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam (BG 18.66). He will give guidance
- Anyone who is speaking about God with authority - take for example Jesus Christ; he is speaking in the western world - you accept him
- Anyone who is trying to divert people's attention from Krsna to non-Krsna . . . that is the business of the modern so-called philosophers and educationists or religionists
- Anyone who is trying to study religion and God, they should try to understand our philosophy, this Krsna consciousness
- Anyone who is trying to understand the Absolute Truth by direct perception, he can rise up to the impersonal Brahman understanding, not more than that
- Anyone who offers Me (Krsna) a little fruit, a little water, and little leaf, oh, I accept." Tad aham asnami, bhakty-upahrtam - Because he has brought with the devotional love, I accept it
- Anyone who thinks like that (to be on equal level with God), they are imperfect knowledge. That is not perfect knowledge. They have been described as avisuddha-buddhayah, imperfect knowledge. Buddhi means intelligence. They have no intelligence

- Anyone who was killed, who died in the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, in the presence of Krsna, they all attained their original, constitutional position, spiritual form. They all went back to home, back to Godhead, everyone

- Anyone who will stop chanting, he will be a victim of maya. Always remember it. Therefore we insist, "Please do not forget to chant at least sixteen rounds." That is minimum. The maximum is 300,000
- Anyone, any politician, any gentleman knows what was the cause (of two great wars). The cause was Germany is always envious of England
- Anyone, if he goes to hell or heaven, then why do you say "one life"? Then another life. Otherwise what is the meaning of going to heaven or hell
- Anyone, newcomer, give him very nice place, nice food. Food and shelter is the first consideration
- Anything spiritual, spiritual identity, spiritual God, spiritual kingdom, you have to learn simply by hearing from authorities. There is no other process. There is no other, second process. Simply you have to hear
- Anything which does not help me in serving Krsna, if we give it up, and anything which helps me to serve Krsna, if we accept, in that way if we live, then gradually we become situated in our original constitutional position, eternal servant of God
- Anything which does not speak in terms of the Vedic formula, we do not accept such knowledge as valid
- Anything which is accepted by leading men, that is accepted by others. - So you are one of the leading men in the society, lawyer. If you understand our philosophy, then many others will follow
- Anywhere you go in the material planet, either by Sputniks or by your tapasya or by meditation, a-brahma-bhuvanal lokah (BG 8.16), even if you go to the highest planet, there the four principles of material miseries are there
- Anywhere you go within this material world, either the moon planet or sun planet or Brahmaloka, Krsna says, abrahma-bhuvanal lokah punar avartino 'rjuna (BG 8.16). Even if you go to the Brahmaloka, that is also not permanent settlement
- Anywhere, hell or heaven, it doesn't matter. You induce people to chant. This is the sum and substance of devotee
- Apani acari' prabhu jive sikhaila. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He did so. The whole human civilization is on a risky platform
- Apart from spiritual division - brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa - the social division must be observed. The brain must be there, brahmana
- Are the whole situation is not full of rascals? They do not know. They are accepting unhappiness as happiness. This is called maya. Maya-mohita-jiva. And you cannot get out of this illusion and mistakes unless you surrender to Krsna
- Are we wasting our time by decorating a doll, a statue, and we are struggling so hard to establish a temple of Krsna? No
- Are you independent, anyone? Everyone is servant. He's serving his senses. That's all. He's servant. He's never master. But he has become the servant of maya or senses. That's all
- Arjuna accepted Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, param brahma param dhama (BG 10.12). So if we follow Arjuna then we can understand Bhagavad-gita very easily. So we should not waste
- Arjuna and his brother. His brother . . . eldest brother Maharaja Yudhisthira, he was very moralist, Dharmaraja. His name was "The king of religious principles," Dharmaraja
- Arjuna did not accept Krsna blindly. He knew, but for our sake he gave so many arguments. At last, he accepted. So we have to follow Arjuna
- Arjuna did not ask him (Dronacarya). Arjuna was satisfied with Krsna. That's all. Krsna also divided Himself, because it is family quarrel
- Arjuna did not like to kill his brothers, but Krsna said that "This is My desire." "All right, I shall kill." This is krsna-bhakti. When Krsna says, we can do everything, not for our personal self
- Arjuna directly listened to Krsna, and he says, "This is my practical experience, that when I. . ." He was a politician, I mean to say, a fighter. He had so many anxieties. So he used to remember the instruction given by Krsna directly to him
- Arjuna heard from Krsna about Himself, and he agreed. So He is accepted by the direct disciple, Arjuna; He is accepted by Vyasadeva; He is accepted by Narada Muni
- Arjuna is a great warrior. He could fight all the soldiers, all the fighting men, yuyutsu. The other party, they were also, they were assembled, yuyutsu, with fighting spirit
- Arjuna is encouraged, because Arjuna was thinking in the terms of material calculation. Just like Gandhi introduced this nonviolence. That is material calculation
- Arjuna is not a fool. He said: "Whatever You have said, I accept them as truth." That is real understanding
- Arjuna is now perplexed, "Whether I shall fight or not fight?" That is also everywhere. When there is declaration of war between the modern politicians, they consider . . . just like in the last, Second World War, when Hitler was preparing for war
- Arjuna is surrendered soul. When he felt that temperature of brahmastra or radiation of the atomic weapon, nuclear weapon . . . So devotee has no other . . . Krsna krsna maha-baho bhaktanam abhayankara (SB 1.7.22) - Our only shelter is Your lotus feet
- Arjuna thought, "Now this is the opportunity. I shall go and ask Duryodhana to give me those arrows." So Arjuna went to the other camp, and immediately Duryodhana received him as his brother
- Arjuna took compassion that, "I don't want victory. Better not to fight." So that is the cause of describing the science of Bhagavad-gita before Arjuna, just to induce him to act as a dutiful soldier. This is the background of Bhagavad-gita
- Arjuna wanted, "Don't induce me." And Krsna did not like that. "You are speaking like non-Aryan." Kutas te kasmalam idam (BG 2.2). Anarya-justam. "This kind of words are spoken by the non-Aryans." He was accused of being non-Aryan. Anarya
- Arjuna was little flickering, he showed his little weakness, and he was at once condemned as non-Aryan, "Oh, you are just showing your symptom of a non-Aryan." You see. And by Krsna
- Arjuna was not willing to fight to satisfy his senses. He thought that - If I do not kill my brother or nephews or my grandfather or my teacher, the other side, that will make me happy. If they are killed, then where is my happiness?
- Arjuna was reputed as a great warrior. So he should remain a great warrior. A warrior's business is not to stop fighting on the plea of becoming kind
- Arjuna was speaking like ordinary gentleman on the material field, but Krsna, when He took up his charge, He said that - You are hovering over the material plane. That is not your learning. The learning is when you understand from the spiritual platform
- Arjuna was sympathetic with his brothers and relatives, and he was practically crying, with tears in his eyes, and Krsna said that it is non-Aryan. It is not befitting for an Aryan
- Arjuna went to the camp of Duryodhana, and he was well received. - Well, Arjuna, come on. What do you want? Come on. Sit down. Do you want anything from me? If you want, I can stop this fight
- Arjuna's desire was not to fight, but Krsna's desire was to fight - just the opposite. Arjuna ultimately agreed to Krsna's desire: "Yes," karisye vacanam tava (BG 18.73): "Yes, I will act according to Your desire." That is bhakti
- Arjuna, when he understood BG, he declared that "to understand Your personality. It is very, very difficult." And he has accepted Him as person, purusam sasvatam, "You are eternally person." These things are there. The real understanding is there
- Arjuna, you are being carried away by your material affection, and you are hesitating to execute your duty. This is not good. - Anarya-justam - This is befitting for the anarya, non-Aryan
- Artificial intoxication, forgetting his present. Just like sleeping, one forgets, and he becomes a God. Oh, it is very dangerous theory. And this is going on
- Artificially do not try to become equal with men. That is not allowed in the Vedic sastra. Na striyam svatantratam arhati (Manu-samhita). That is called sastra
- Arya means the person who has got godly qualification. This is the meaning of Aryan. Aryan, advanced. Aryan does not mean godless society. They are non-Aryans
- Arya-samaj means one who knows his duty, how to do it in proper time. So ksatriya, his duty is to fight, to defend from the hands of the enemy. So he was declining to fight, so He chastised him, - Non-Aryans. You are not Aryan
- Arya-samajis are strictly forbidden to go to the temple
- Aryan civilization means this Vedic civilization. Just like Arjuna, a ksatriya, belonged to the Aryan civilization, and because he was denying to fight, Krsna accused him, "Oh, this is just like non-Aryans." Anarya-justam, non-Aryans
- Aryan means advanced in knowledge. He's called Aryan. And anarya means uncivilized. So immediately He (Krsna) rebukes him, anarya-justam - You are talking just like non-Aryan, uncivilized person
- Aryans means those who are advanced. Non-Aryans means those who are not, this is the Sanskrit meaning, arya. Aryans are divided into four castes
- As a medical practitioner, so why you take this disease as bad or that disease as good? Your business is to see that there should be no disease

- As in the, within our memory, there are two great wars, world war number one, world war number two. We have experienced

- As many times he has killed children, he will have to live within the womb and be killed. Bahu-duhkha-bhajah. It will be followed by so many miserable condition of life
- As one goes to the physician, for treatment of his disease - otherwise it may prove fatal - similarly, one should atone the sinful activities as they are prescribed in different scriptures. That is the prescription

- At the present moment Krsna, in the BG, wanted: sarva-dharman parityajya. Krsna wanted Arjuna - Arjuna means everyone - that they should surrender to Krsna and be engaged in the service of Krsna. So when we speak of Krsna, means God, the SPG
- At the present moment modern educated persons, they do not know that there is something like moksa and it can be achieved, and there is process, and the whole Vedic sastra is trying to educate us for getting moksa
- At the present moment people are very, very much addicted to sinful life. Because they are less intelligent
- At the present moment the so-called human society, civilized human society, is giving up the conception of God, understanding God, especially the Communist party
- At the present moment there is no brahmana, qualified. Therefore the society is in chaos. In chaotic condition, all are searching after something substantial. That is the position of the Western countries
- At the present moment there is no fixture even for the physical necessities. No hope. When I first came to America, when I saw in the Bowery Street, they're lying on the street, - And how is that?
- At the present moment, "In the Kali-yuga, everyone is sudra." It is hardly to be found a qualified brahmana. Of course, there are, but very rare. Practically brahmana is not a single there, especially in this age
- At the present moment, 99.9%, they are sudras. Therefore the society is chaotic condition
- At the present moment, all over the world, Kali's influence is going on, everyone, almost everyone, 99.9 percent. You cannot say cent percent, because there are some saintly persons
- At the present moment, as you say, in the Kali-yuga, it is accepted that almost everyone is a sudra. Otherwise, do you mean to say because everyone has become sudra, the science of Krsna, or Krsna consciousness, should be stopped? No
- At the present moment, because the leaders are foolish, blind, they have no spiritual knowledge, all the population of the world becomes godless
- At the present moment, by the principle of vox populi, a butcher goes to the legislature. So everything depends on training. In our Krsna consciousness society we are actually doing that. But in the case of politics they forget it
- At the present moment, even in the civilized world, so-called civilized, if one man is being killed on the open street, nobody will go and help him because the tendency for showing mercy to others, that is diminishing
- At the present moment, in our material conditional life, we have no attachment for Krsna. We have got attachment for non-Krsna. So you have to transfer that attachment to Krsna
- At the present moment, in the materialistic concept of life, everyone is servant of the senses. Everyone acts by the dictation of the senses; therefore they can be called, in other words, as godasa, servant of the senses
- At the present moment, Kali-yuga, kalau sudra-sambhavah. In Kali-yuga there is no first class, second class or even third class. All fourth-class men, sudra-sambhavah
- At the present moment, most people - they are in the lower grades of the material quality, ignorance and passion. Therefore you see all over the world, rajas-tamo-bhavah kama-lobha (SB 1.2.19). Every man is greedy and lusty. Every man
- At the present moment, people are captivated for human welfare activities. Oh, what human welfare activities they will do? It is not in your power
- At the present moment, the human society has been educated to love his country or family or one's personal self, but they have no information where to repose the loving propensity so that everyone can become happy
- At the present moment, the Kali-yuga, the sastra says, almost everyone is a sudra because nobody can live independently
- At the present moment, the motorcar civilization, he's anxious how to get a Rolls-Royce motorcar, that's all. That is his business
- At the present moment, why the society is chaotic condition? Because there is no brahmana. That is the defect
- At the time of Bhisma's death he was thinking of Krsna: in His fighting spirit He was coming to kill him. That is in Bhisma's prayer. There is in the Bhagavata
- At the time of death he understands that, "My real father, the soul, which was within this body, he has now gone." Therefore our vision is always imperfect
- At the time of death we suffer very much. Just imagine, when we give up our life, how much difficult position at that time. So we forget birth and death
- At the time of death, by superior authority, what body I'm going to take next, that has to be decided
- At the time of death, if our consciousness is pure, then it is sure that next life is not material. Next life is pure spiritual life
- At the time of death, when one very sinful man is dying, he sees the Yamaraja or the order carriers of Yamaraja. They are very fierce-looking. Sometimes the man on the deathbed becomes very much fearful, cries, - Save me, save me
- At the time of delivery the woman is in danger. There may be so many dangers. Therefore twice sada-bhaksana, at the period of seven months and perhaps in nine months
- At Vrndavana in India there are temples still, they are spending thousands and thousands of rupees for palatable foodstuff, offering to the Deity. And those foodstuff are distributed to the, I mean to say, the devotees
- Atha means now. Atha, hereafter. That means after passing through all animalistic way of life, when a man comes to the stage of civilized life, perfect civilized life, at that time his business is to inquire what is the Absolute Truth
- Atha means those who have become experienced of this miserable life of this material world. They can enquire. They can enquire what is Absolute Truth, what is spiritual life. Athato brahma jijnasa
- Athato brahma jijnasa. Then the question will be that "Why I am not free? What is the reason?" Then that is, real human life begins. Otherwise he's a dog
- Atheistic theory, is aparaspara-sambhutam. It has taken by mechanical arrangement. Mechanical. . . Kim anyat kama-haitukam (BG 16.8). Kama. Just like kama - a man, a woman becomes lusty, and there is sex, and there is production. So they say like that
- Ati-buddhi galaya dekhe. If one is unnecessarily over intelligent, just hang him with a rope in the neck. So he is ati-buddhi. Anyway, he was intelligent to purchase
- Atmanam ajitendriyah, the whole training is to control the senses, and the most powerful sense is the tongue. Sense control begins from the tongue
- Atomic bomb, the nuclear weapon, is not used when there is fight between two dogs. It is not so insignificant. When the fight is very severe
- Atomic energy, big energy, it is done by a scientist, not that the ingredients automatically mix together and become an atomic . . . no. That is not possible
- Authorized person in the line of disciplic succession, he does not speak by his own authority. Immediately he'll quote from the Vedic literature to support his proposition
- Avatara means one who comes directly from the spiritual world. And incarnation . . . of course, this avatara is translated with the word incarnation, but I think real meaning of incarnation means "who accepts a body." Is it not
- Avatarana means "coming from up to down." That is called avatarana. And avatara is understood that when God or His bona fide representative comes from that sky to this material plane, that is called avatara
- Avyayam means whatever little service you render, that is permanent settlement. If you come here and dance and chant or ring the bell or anything about the aratrika, if you see, drsta - anything you do, that is your permanent credit
- Awaken their Krsna consciousness. - That is Krsna consciousness movement. It is the best welfare activities to the human society
B
- Back to home, back to Godhead. You are going this side, opposite side, toward the side of hell. That is not your destination. You go this side, back to Godhead. - That is our propaganda. So we have not manufactured this; this is the standard
- Bad men also will get peace? This is nonsense. Just see how nonsense philosophers they are
- Bahyabhyantara-sucih: inside and outside. Outside by taking bath, washing with soda, soap, or if soda, soap is not available, with earth or oil. That is external cleanliness
- Bali Maharaja is the grandson of Prahlada Maharaja. They are demonic family. So amongst the demons, many devotees came out. So to become devotee does not depend on particular family, this or that. No. Anyone can become devotee
- Bali Maharaja rejected his spiritual master. That's a great sin. But he rejected on shastric ground, because he objected for Visnu worship. Therefore such spiritual master should be rejected. Therefore he became mahajana, authority
- Because "I want sense gratification, so let me have complete freedom for sense gratification. That is the idea now, life." No, that is not ideal
- Because a sadhu is friend of everyone, there cannot be any conceivable enemy. But still, there are enemies. That is the nature of the world
- Because all the six Gosvamins happened to be direct disciples of Lord Caitanya, so Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, although very young, he was treated as younger brother of Sanatana Gosvami
- Because Arjuna was illusioned and he was not prepared to fight, so this instruction was given, this Bhagavad-gita instruction was given to Arjuna
- Because Bhisma would not die unless he desires, "Now let me die." Then he would die; otherwise not. So he was lying down on the deathbed, but was expecting to see Krsna at the last stage
- Because by the influence of Kali-yuga everyone is Sudra, so he does not know what is the actually Brahminical qualification. Therefore there is, I mean to say, competition
- Because cloth are very costly. And there are rats. If one cloth is cut by the rat, then it is great loss. So to save from this loss, he (Prabhupada's uncle) will put in a basin rice
- Because doctor says you have to starve, if you want to cure a disease, then I have to voluntarily accept, accept starving. This is called tapasya: voluntarily accept some miserable condition of life
- Because everyone is dying, but the man who is not yet dead, he thinks that he'll live forever. This is the most wonderful thing
- Because he (a disciple) is not submissive, it is useless waste of time. Guru should not speak to anyone
- Because he (Sri Yamunacarya) has experienced. He was a family man, he was a king. He said that - Whenever I think of, not to act, but whenever I think of sex life, oh, I say, now, - tuh
- Because he (such and such scientist) has posed himself as a very big man, people follow him blindly and they're misled
- Because he carries the message of Krsna. Krsna is friend, and he is carrying the friendly message. Therefore he is friend
- Because he has got already natural tendency. And if he is . . . there is sanction by religiosity, ritualistic, religious process, then he will stick to it. So you have not done very nice work
- Because he is ignorant, he is making plan to be happy, and one day it comes, "Kick out! Go out!" That is ignorance. Therefore sudra
- Because he is seeing always Krsna there, so he has no fear. He is enjoying life there. There are many instances. In our line, Rupa Gosvami
- Because He is sitting there (in the heart), therefore all kinds of remembrance, smrti, knowledge and forgetfulness. These things are functions of the mind
- Because He is the father of all living beings, therefore there is response from Europe and America. Otherwise, what connection they have got? They have got their Jesus Christ or something else. But why they are attracted to Krsna
- Because I am accustomed to think like that (my son or my grandfather is dying). So there must be grief. - So Krsna replied, "Yes, that's a fact. So that you must have to tolerate, that's all. There is no other remedy." Tams titiksasva bharata - BG 2.14
- Because I am chanting, therefore I can do anything sinful. It will be counteracted. - This is the greatest rascaldom, sinful activities. Yes
- Because I am eternal, I do not want my body be annihilated. But it will be. Therefore I am always fearful, "When it will be annihilated? When it will be annihilated? Is the time come? Is the time come?" This is called bhayam
- Because I am eternal, you are eternal, so I want to live forever. But we are put under certain condition of this material world that we have to die
- Because I am in ignorance, therefore I am thinking, "I am this body": "I am this white body," "I am this black body," "I am this American body," "I am this Indian body," "I am this cat's body" and - dog's body
- Because I am in ignorance, therefore I am thinking, "I am this body." So it requires a little jnana, knowledge. Then we will understand that - I am not this body; I am different from this body
- Because I am not supreme controller, because I am in diseased condition, therefore my business is to cure the disease. Cure the disease - that is sane man's business
- Because I am thinking American, the American government claims, "Yes, you come and fight, give your life," draft board. Why? This body. Therefore the intelligent person should know that - I am suffering all miserable condition of my life due to this body
- Because I cannot see what is happening beyond this wall, oh, that does not mean there is nothing beyond this wall. So everyone wants to see God immediately. God you can see when you are perfectly qualified
- Because it is fight against maya, why we shall be afraid of being killed? Where there is fight, one must know that "Either I am going to be killed or gain victory." Jivo va maro va
- Because Krsna says: "If somebody offers Me fruits, flowers, grains, milk with devotion and love, I eat," so we are pledged to Krsna, I offer these things to Krsna, and we eat. That is our process
- Because my (Prahlada) spiritual master gave me blessing, therefore I see You. So my first business is to serve him. - This is Vaisnava conclusion
- Because Nrsimhadeva was groaning in anger, and the demigods are afraid to approach Him, so Prahlada Maharaja first appeals to Him, - My dear Lord, there is no need of any more groaning
- Because one has got the Russian body by some way or other, another has got American body, I am making distinction. So this distinction is on the material platform
- Because people are becoming religious for moksa, liberation. So Sridhara Svami says that up to the end of moksa-vancha, desire for liberation, that is also rejected. Because moksa is also not our ultimate goal of life
- Because she is married, and if she serves faithfully her husband, her husband is pleased and there is love, in due course of time, there will be child
- Because snakes are always envious, so they are first up to be burned into that forest fire. They cannot go very swiftly. Others, tigers and other beasts, they go away. But the snake, they crawl. They cannot get out. Mostly they burn
- Because spiritual master has to be accepted saksad-dhari, directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead, therefore the so-called spiritual master should not be puffed up, that "Now I have become God." This is Mayavada
- Because that minute spirit soul is there, you are moving, you are acting, your brain is working, you are denying the existence of God, you are doing all these things
- Because the maya, this wonderful material energy, is acting in such a big curtain, they cannot understand that beyond this there is something else. They are thinking this material energy working, that is everything - nothing beyond this
- Because the soul is there, therefore the body has developed, according to the desire of the soul. But it is very, very minute
- Because the Supreme Spirit is within, therefore it is floating. Not that weightlessness. Weight is there, very heavy weight. Just like you can test: This body will float in the water so long you are living
- Because the Vaisnava-sampradaya does not give very much importance to Vedanta-sutra - because the explanation is there, they are reading actually Vedanta-sutra - people misunderstand that the Vedantist, followers of Vedanta, is the Sankara-sampradaya
- Because the whole aim was to get away the existence of God, therefore all the Vedic literature was . . . were interpreted by Sankaracarya in his own way. Still it is going on
- Because the whole world is running on under the false impression of sense enjoyment, therefore He (Krsna) comes and advises, sarva-dharman parityajya - BG 18.66
- Because the woman does not agree to be subordinate - she wants equal freedom - so the husband goes away and the woman is embarrassed with the children. And it becomes a burden to the government
- Because there is no such division, people are not trained from the very beginning. Therefore a Sudra is called by the draft board, "Come on," to fight. Now, how he can fight? He is not a Ksatriya
- Because they (many learned scholars and sannyasis) have no information of the spiritual varieties in the Vaikuntha planet, in the Goloka Vrndavana planet, they come down, because there is no bhakti
- Because they are busy for eating, sleeping and mating, by the laws of nature, that is also being minimized. I have already explained. Because the nature wants to help us, because we are now forgotten soul. We have forgotten God
- Because they are rascals, they are falsely claiming, "This is my country. This is my property. Nobody can come here." This is a dog's philosophy
- Because they could not engage their service to the lotus feet of Krsna, therefore, these so-called sannyasis again come down to this material platform and engage their service to the mithya
- Because they do not know (what is the self-interest), therefore, out of ulterior motive, they are thinking that, - Satisfaction in the material way of life will give me ultimate pleasure or ultimate satisfaction. That is my ultimate goal
- Because they have been taught like that (to watch television). What is their fault? They do not know the importance of human life. "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy." That's all. And then become a dog. That's all
- Because they have no taste for Krsna, they have to. They will come again for opening hospitals and so on, so many activities, material activities. This is fall down
- Because this human form of life is meant for developing love for God. Because in all other life we have loved our children, we have loved our wife, we have loved our nest in the bird's life, in the beast's life. There is love
- Because this material world is a chaotic condition, therefore there is necessity of law and order. In the spiritual world there is no such thing
- Because we accepted this material body, we must be always afraid. Not only we, even a small ant or birds and beasts, everyone
- Because we are adhyama purusa, therefore there is chance of our brightness being sometimes covered. But we can again revive our brightness and shine with the Supreme Person
- Because we are distributing this, the most valuable asset of the world, so cheaply, don't neglect it. Take it. Don't minimize the value because we are distributing free
- Because we are misled by foolish leaders, we are confused. Otherwise everything's clear
- Because we are part and parcel of God, we can study God's personality from our personality. Just like we can study the father by the symptoms of the son
- Because we are part and parcel of Krsna, all the qualities of Krsna in minute quantity, they are within us. We are sample of Krsna, but wherefrom we get this fighting spirit? The fighting spirit is there in Krsna
- Because we are personalist. We are not impersonal. This (chanting Hare Krsna, the pictures, the clothes, the instruments, the altar and Lord Jagannatha) is spiritual varieties. You are talking of no variety. Is it not?
- Because we are so-called civilized, we have created the problems for eating, sleeping, mating. Otherwise there is already arrangement for everyone, by God. Eko bahunam vidadhati kaman
- Because we are spiritual entities, our natural tendency is to enjoy life. Spiritual entities means by nature, anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12); by nature, they want to enjoy life
- Because we are trying to understand Krsna through Caitanya Mahaprabhu, therefore it has become easy. Otherwise it is very difficult subject
- Because we are unfortunate, we go to rascal, and they interpret Bhagavad-gita in a rascaldom way, and you are missing. So you should be very careful not to go to a rascal. Then your mission will be successful
- Because we have all forgotten Krsna. That is our miserable condition of life
- Because we have become mad, whole human civilization is meant for these four things: illicit sex, meat-eating and intoxication and gambling
- Because we have forgotten Krsna, we do not know the source of happiness. Anandamayo 'bhyasat - Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12
- Because we have got senses, they want satisfaction. So we must give food them also, senses. But ultimate goal is how to get out of this material existence
- Because You (Krsna) know yourself, what You are. Nobody knows. - Therefore to understand Krsna, or God, is to accept whatever is spoken in the Bhagavad-gita. That is real understanding
- Because you are human being, you are together here to get this knowledge. The cats and dogs, they cannot come. They cannot take this knowledge
- Because you are rich man, because you are beautiful man, because you are educated man, because you are born in a aristocratic family, that does not mean that you have avoided death, old age and disease
- Because you are soul, spirit soul, part and parcel of God, you have got a particular duty. That is eternal duty
- Because you cannot say what is beyond this wall, that does not mean that there is nothing beyond this wall. Your knowledge is insufficient
- Because you have committed, executed vikarma, therefore you have got this body. It doesn't matter whether it is rich body or poor body, everyone has to undergo the threefold miserable condition of life
- Because you have got the God qualities, you are not the Supreme. That is not possible. Supreme is Supreme. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13). That is the Vedic injunction, that He is the chief of the eternals
- Because you say: "I have been cheated. I could not get the right information. I stop this business," that is not allowed. You must. Therefore, according to Vedic order it is said, tad vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet - MU 1.2.12
- Become religious. If you are really Christian, that is all right. But you are not Christian, because you are violating the orders of Lord Jesus Christ
- Becomes a renounced order, sannyasi, and highest order, and then, after some time, he becomes engaged in opening hospitals and philanthropic work and in politics. We have seen it. Oh, why?
- Before accepting the spiritual master, you must find out whether Krsna or Krsna's representative is there. Arjuna surrendered to Krsna. Sisyas te 'ham: "I am Your disciple." Similarly, everyone should surrender to Krsna or Krsna's representative
- Before breakfast I used to ask him (my second son), "Show me your teeth." So he'll. "Yes." "All right, you have washed your teeth. That's all right. Then you are allowed to take breakfast." Yes. So this training there are
- Before his body was constructed the father was there, now how could he see? So by seeing, you cannot ascertain who is your father. You have to hear from the authority. The mother is the authority. Therefore sruti-pramana: the evidence is hearing
- Before us there were so many exalted acaryas - Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, Nimbarka and, in our line, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So our process is to follow the predecessor acarya
- Beginning from that indra (one worm called indra-gopa) up to this Indra (king of heaven), everyone is bound up by the fruitive resultant action of his karma. This is called karma-phala
- Beginning is faith, but faith should not be blind. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). You have to take faith from great personalities. That is faith
- Behind this big, gigantic machine, physical world, there is a living entity, a big, powerful living entity. He is God. We are simply sample of God, a small particle. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah jiva-loke sanatanah

- Being bewildered by this maya, this soul, who is part and parcel of Krsna, or God, he's thinking that 'I am a material product. I am made of these material things
- Being completely aware of Brahman, the Supreme Absolute Truth, not a bogus. If you want to receive knowledge, then you must approach a guru who is brahma-nistham. That is the qualification of guru
- Being situated on the spiritual platform, automatically you achieve your original status, constitutional position, brahma-bhutah prasannatma (BG 18.54). Then you are able to enter into the kingdom of God, or the spiritual world

- Best thing is take to this Krsna consciousness, kevalaya bhaktya, simply this understanding, that - Krsna is my eternal master; I am Krsna's eternal servant. So let us exchange our feelings of master and servant. Then I shall be perfect
- Best thing would have been to live with us and work, give contribution as much as possible for running on this missionary work. But the thing is, we have no place
- Beyond the sky there is another sky and we are trying to go there according to the perfect knowledge
- Beyond the sky there is another sky, which is called paravyoma, or sanatana, eternal sky. And in that sky there are innumerable Vaikuntha planets. Vaikuntha means vigata-kuntha hy asmat: there is no anxiety
- Beyond this inferior quality energy, I have got another, superior quality of energy." What is that? Jiva-bhuta. You can understand that jiva-bhuta, the living entity. Yayedam dharyate jagat - BG 7.5
- Bhagavad-duta, those who are strictly following the dictation of Krsna under strict disciplinary chain of disciplic succession, he is Krsna's representative, and he should be given all the respect
- Bhagavad-gita cannot be understood by so-called scholars by academic degrees. One has to become a devotee of Krsna
- Bhagavad-gita gives you full information so that you can accept God with your reason, with your argument, with your knowledge. It is not blind following

- Bhagavad-gita is eternal because it teaches what is your relationship with God, what is your eternal duty to God, and what is the ultimate end of life. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita
- Bhagavad-gita is real Vedanta. And if one understands Bhagavad-gita as it is, he is really Vedantist. Veda means knowledge, and anta means the last word. So last word of knowledge is Krsna
- Bhagavad-gita points out that you should always keep these four principles (birth, death, old age and disease) of misery in front. Then you'll be able to advance in spiritual path
- Bhagavad-gita was instructed to Arjuna for his only qualification, that he was a devotee of Krsna. Bhakto 'si me sakha ceti
- Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, all these books should be studied from the direct meaning. Don't try to interpret
- Bhagavat-tattva, the science of God, is a vijnana. It is a science; it is not sentiment. Sentiment: I close my eyes and shed some tears, and then I go for smoking cigarette. That sentiment will not help us
- Bhagavata is natural commentary on Vedanta-sutra, and Lord Caitanya therefore gives evidence from the Bhagavata generally, and Puranas also, Mahabharata and Upanisad. They are all authorities
- Bhagavata is the natural commentary on the Vedanta-sutra. Therefore one who has sufficient knowledge in Bhagavata, he has automatically sufficient knowledge in Vedanta-sutra

- Bhagavaty uttama-sloke bhaktir bhavati naisthiki, then your firm, steady, steadiness in devotional service will be fixed up

- Bhakti is not that it is something sentiment, without any basic principle of knowledge. No. It is fully based on Vedic knowledge
- Bhakti is nothing artificial. It is the activity of healthy stage. Just like a man, when he is diseased, his activities are differing from the man who is cured and healthy
- Bhakti means purificatory process. We are impure. Because we are impure, therefore we are undergoing so many tribulations, so many miserable condition of life

- Bhakti-yoga process, if you can execute one percent, oh, it becomes asset, and next life you are guaranteed, because you will be given the facility of executing bhakti-yoga further. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, in every sastra
- Bhakti-yoga therefore requires little tapasya, not playthings. Tapasya, that, "We are addicted to so many sinful activities. We must give it up." That is tapasya

- Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, jada-vidya sab, mayara vaibhava, jibake koroye gadha (Kalyana-kalpa-taru). He has said like that, that so far advancement of material education means that so-called educated man is becoming more, more, more an ass

- Bhava means love, feelings, feelings of love, - Oh, Krsna is so great
- Bhaya means "to become afraid of." That is material nature. We are always afraid of. Therefore we have military strength. Your country is very busy in that way, how to protect. Everyone should be, protection
- Bhinna means the quality different; not of the same quality. Apareyam - This is inferior quality, but there is another, superior quality, jiva bhuta, and that is living entity
- Bhisma is accepted as mahajana, as authority. And what was his business? He wanted to kill Krsna and Arjuna. Just try to understand. Therefore, we have to follow only the instruction of mahajana; otherwise, we'll be bewildered
- Bhisma is stated as one of the authority, mahajana. But what did he do? He fought against Krsna and pierced with his arrows. You know, we have stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Bhisma understood later on that the five arrows were taken by Arjuna by trick. So still, he promised that, - Even without those five weapons, today I shall kill Arjuna
- Bhisma, everyone knows. Bhisma is one of the authorities, authorities of religious principle. There are twelve authorities
- Bhisma, he's authority. Next to Krsna, Bhisma is one of the authorities. There are twelve authorities: svayambhur naradah sambhuh kapilah kumaro manuh, prahlada bhisma janakah (SB 6.3.20). They are the authorities of piety, religion
- Bhisma, the Grandfather Bhisma, he is also mahajana. Therefore Bhisma's instruction in the Bhagavata should be taken seriously. And on his deathbed he instructed Maharaja Yudhisthira, and Krsna also heard
- Bhismadeva, while he was dying . . . he was grandfather of the Pandavas. So when the Pandavas came to see him on his deathbed, so he cried that, "These boys, my grandsons, they're all very pious
- Bhogi, because he eats more, so he evacuates twice. And one who evacuates more than twice, he's rogi, diseased. Yogi, bhogi, rogi. So everything has got routine work. Saucam. So you'll feel healthy
- Bhrasta means one, yoga-bhrasta, one who is prosecuting the yoga system. Yoga system means the transcendental process by which we realize ourself, we link up our life with self-realization. That is called yoga
- Bhuri means this abdomen, and muri means this head. If you keep your head and the belly very clear, then you are free from all disease
- Big bellows in blacksmith shop - that is also made of skin, like our body is made of skin. It has got a big nose, & breathing is coming, "bhas-ghans, ghans-bhas." if you want to increase your life, there are many living entities, living more than you
- Big mudhas who simply falsely thinking that, "I have become now liberated by meditation or by some jugglery of powers," so they have been described in the Bhagavata as vimukta-maninah
- Big, big politician, when they enjoy, they bring naked girls and drinking, and this is their standard of enjoyment. So how you can expect good government? It is not possible
- Big, big rsis and yogis, those who are interested in brahma-sukha, or to merge in the Brahman effulgence - the source of Brahman effulgence is here playing: Krsna. - Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda - Bs. 5.40
- Birth control, there are so many medicines. But where is the stoppage of birth? The population is increasing. Neither you can stop death, neither you can stop birth, neither you can stop old age
- Blind faith is never required, neither questions should be in a mood of challenge. Questions or answers should be just to understand. And that should be accompanied with service. This is the mood
- Blind following and absurd inquiries. These things are condemned in this verse. Blind following means, "Oh, there is a svami. So many thousands of people are following. Let me become his disciple." This is called blind following
- Bodies means we have manufactured according to our different mentality. Krsna says that, - You stop all this business. Simply you are migrating, or transmigrating, from one body to another or one planet to another. That will not make you happy
- Bodily, you cannot make a man dog or a dog man. That is not possible. But spiritually you can do. Spiritually, a bad man or bad dog even can be elevated to the highest perfection
- Both Krsna and the living entity are sitting in one tree. That is stated in the Upanisad. Two birds are sitting in one tree. One is eating the fruit of the tree and other is simply witnessing
- Both the girls and the boys should be trained up. Then they'll be responsible husband and wife and live peacefully. In their young days, if you give them freedom, they'll spoil. What can be done?
- Both way (gratifying senses and understand God) you can use your intelligence, your mind, your senses
- Brahma distributed this Vedic knowledge, some to the sons. Vyasadeva also, he distributed knowledge, some to his sons, some to his disciples. That is explained in the SB. So that is the process of disseminating Vedic knowledge
- Brahma is first born from Visnu. He has got four heads, four hands, two legs, he can speak. It is human form
- Brahma is in charge of something. Indra is in charge of something. The demigods, they're officers. They (Americans) have no information. They say, "It is nature, nature, nature, nature." No nature. They are department
- Brahma is one of the authorities. He's also mentioned in the list of authorities, dvadasa-mahajana. Twelve authorities
- Brahma visiting Krsna as four-headed Brahma. He was little proud that, "I am the original, first creature of this universe. I have got four heads, four hands." The material nature, the influence of material nature, is like that
- Brahma's day is, one day equal to forty-three hundred thousands of years multiplied by thousand. That is Brahma's one day. So thirty days, one month; and twelve months equal to year, such hundred years. Your mathematics will fail to figure out
- Brahma's description is given here, the example is very nice, valuable stone, just like diamond. Diamond has got power to illuminate
- Brahma-bhutah stage is a preliminary qualification to enter into devotional service. But if one does not enter into devotional service, neglects the lotus feet of Krsna, then patanty adhah. These are the authoritative statements
- Brahma-janma is not easy. It is very difficult. But if Brahma is bahir-mukha - bahir-mukha means not devotee of Krsna - it is possible. Because we are in ignorance, maya, at any time we can forget Krsna
- Brahma-jijnasa means spiritual inquiry. So the cat & dog cannot inquire. It is not possible. But when you have got this human form of body, especially born in India & in a brahmana family, if you misuse your life like cats and dogs, that is a great loss
- Brahma-jijnasa. That is beginning of knowledge, what is the Absolute Truth. Now this subject matter should be taken up seriously in the human form of life, that is the suggestion
- Brahma-nistham means he is firmly fixed up; nobody can deviate him from his point of steadiness. These are the general. There are many other definition in different
- Brahma-pada, you can rise up. But if you do not engage yourself in the service of Bhagavan, then again you come down
- Brahmacari, in the beginning of life - brahmacari means beginning of life, student life - they must be trained up how to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the first training
- Brahman is also Vedic word. That Caitanya Mahaprabhu says the direct meaning of Brahman is Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Brahman means His (Krsna's) effulgence, bodily rays. You may ask, "What is that bodily rays?" You can see every day. Everyone has got bodily rays according to his quality. You see the sun, the bodily rays, the sunshine
- Brahman means it is very, very great; and not only great, it is becoming greater and greater. Brhannatvat. So the greatness understanding, of Krsna or the Absolute Truth is accepted everywhere in civilized human society
- Brahman means the Absolute. Brahman is explained in the Vedanta-sutra, janmady asya yatah : - Brahman, or the Absolute Truth, is that from whom everything has emanated
- Brahman realization is not complete realization of the Absolute Truth. Neither Paramatma realization is absolute, or the complete understanding. When you realize Bhagavan, then you understand what is Paramatma, what is Brahman, and what is Absolute Truth
- Brahman realization means Krsna's partial realization. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, brahmano 'ham pratistha: "The Brahman, the all-pervading Brahman, impersonal Brahman, is situated in Me." That's a fact
- Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan. The ultimate issue is Bhagavan. So ye yatha mam prapadyante (BG 4.11). Now He's equal to everyone. It is up to the devotees or persons who are trying to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth
- Brahmana means they must be truthful first. Satya samo damas titiksa (BG 18.42). They must be able to control the senses, control the mind
- Brahmana will live at the cost of others' contribution. That is source of income
- Brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, the division is there, but the whole aim is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Brahmanas, they are interested for spiritual advancement of life. Ksatriyas are not so much interested, neither the vaisyas, and what to speak of the sudras. And in the Kali-yuga almost everyone is a sudra. So how they can be interested
- Brahmanas, they would give advice to the ksatriyas, and ksatriyas, according to their advice, would rule over the citizens. This was the system
- Brahmeti paramatmeti. Some of them are brahma-parayana; some of them paramatma-parayana; some of them are bhakta. It doesn't matter. But they're all spiritual. They have no interest in this material world. Tattva-vit. They know what is truth
- Brahmin could not accept any service, and they (Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami) accepted service of Muhammadan government. So immediately they were ostracized from the brahmin society
- Brahmin is so liberal that he wants to make others also scholar. Pathana pathana, yajana yajana. Yajan means worshiping the Lord, and yajan means helping others
- Brahminical culture means sama, dama, controlling the mind, controlling the senses. A real brahmana will never agree to embrace the opposite sex in public way. No. That is not brahmana's business
- Brahminical culture means the social position in which everyone is assisted to elevate himself to the highest position of understanding the position and the constitution of the soul. That should be the aim of human society
- Breathing exercise means if you can stop breathing, then you increase your life. That is called samadhi. No more breathing. That is yogic success
- Buddhi means intelligence. Avisuddha means unclean, contaminated. They think that they have become liberated, but sastra says no, it is not yet liberated. Avisuddha-buddhaya. Still there is contamination
- Buddhi means intelligence. One has to be intelligent. If you want to enjoy life, then you must be intelligent also
- Buddhi means intelligence. One who is very intelligent, he can take to Krsna consciousness. Therefore bhakti-yoga´s another name is buddhi-yoga
- Buddhi means intelligence; and avisuddha, not purified. Why not purified? Because they have no shelter. So in spite of their so much austerity, penance, Vedanta reading and jugglery of words, they come back again to the hospital. That's all
- Buddhism was originated in India. Lord Buddha was a Hindu, and he was a prince, and still, Buddhism was not accepted by the Indians. Why? Because the Buddhism decried the Vedas
- By advancement of education one becomes fixed up to take things by judgment. That is called vicara. And acara means cleanliness or behavior. The first-, second- and third-class human being, they are situated in acara and vicara
- By birth everyone is sudra. Even if he's born in a brahmana family he is sudra. The samskara means purification. That is satyam saucam
- By chanting loudly you will also help your neighbor, who will hear you. And when he comes to complain, "Why you disturbing?" then your mission is successful. That means he has heard
- By chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, this pure vibration of transcendental sound has enlivened them, and they are awakened to Krsna consciousness
- By chanting this mantra - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, - one becomes free from the contamination of this age. And not only he becomes free from the contamination of this age, but param vrajet, he goes back to the spiritual world
- By different scriptures, Vedic literatures - the four Vedas, the Upanisads the Vedanta-sutra, and any other literature - Ramayana, Mahabharata . . . there are so many allied scriptures. The whole aim is, target is, Krsna
- By evolutionary process we come to this human form of life. It is a chance to understand the value of life, to understand God and our relationship with God, and if we are missing this opportunity, that's a great loss
- By false understanding we may make hundreds and thousands of plan to be happy in this material world. That is not possible. This is therefore called sammohito, - bewildered
- By good or bad association you have acquired so many artificial, I mean to say, habits. So simply by association you can forget also. Then you come to the pure life. And God is pure
- By great austerities and penance, they can rise up to the param padam, aham brahmasmi, brahma-pada. But aruhya krcchrena param padam tatah, from that place, patanty adhah, again falls down in this material world
- By hearing from the lips of such devotees (who have renounced everything for the Supreme Lord), one very quickly develops devotional service provided one practices good conduct of life
- By His (Krsna's) impersonal feature He is present as impersonal Brahman effulgence. You will find in the Bhagavad-gita also, brahmano aham pratistha - I am the source of Brahman effulgence
- By ignorance we take this spot life as permanent settlement, & we think "We shall live here permanently & make arrangement to live here permanently, % make assets for my children, for my nation." But we do not know cycle of transmigration is not fixed up
- By inquiring about Brahman one can understand that - Even if I go to the topmost planet of this material world, the four principles of miseries - birth, death, old age and disease - there is
- By Krsna's grace if we actually become dharmic, follow Krsna, the milk supply will be so profuse that everyone, even the animals, can take the butter and yogurt. That is wanted. That is civilization
- By Kuruksetra, Krsna smashed all Duryodhana and company, and He posted Yudhisthira Maharaja. That is the Krsna's politics. He wanted to smash all these demons and have His own men posted on the royal throne
- By material calculation it is not possible. Material calculation one will say that, - How it is possible, you say the dumb is lecturing very nicely? That is not possible
- By material process, by philosophical process, by mental concoction or mental process they (living entities) are trying, and Lord Krsna also said - they are trying - but that happiness is available when your senses or consciousness are pure
- By meditation to find out the supreme Paramatma within yourself, that is called yoga practice. Dhyanavasthita-tad-gatena manasa pasyanti yam yoginah. This is yogi. So that yoga is perfect when you see Krsna
- By my energy, by my desire, and nature supplying me ingredient, it (finger) is manufactured
- By nature these divisions are there. Varna, four varnas, and four asramas. Four varnas means social divisions, and four asrama, spiritual division
- By nature's law, by God's order, it (Pacific Ocean) does not come beyond its limit. Within the limit it is. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that there is an ocean of transcendental bliss, which is increasing
- By nonrestricted sense enjoyment they are gradually going to the animal, lower grade of life. They cannot explain why there are so many varieties of life. They cannot explain
- By not following the principles of God consciousness, or Krsna consciousness, we have got now unwanted population
- By our nature we want to be very blissful, always happy. That is our nature. And we can possess, revive our nature of eternal happiness, provided we try to get it in this human form of life
- By performing karma-yoga one comes to the platform of jnana-yoga, knowledge. And from knowledge to this astanga-yoga, eightfold yoga system - dhyana, dharana, pranayama, asana - like that, those who are practicing the astanga-yoga
- By practice of yoga system we can avoid the forcible nature's law, but we can leave this body according to our sweet will, not being forced by the nature's law
- By samskara, by the reformatory process, one is initiated - that is called dvija, dvitiya-janma. The spiritual master is the father, and the Vedic knowledge is the mother
- By Sanatana Gosvami it is directed that the spiritual master and the disciple must meet together at least for one year so that the disciple may also understand that, - Here is a person whom I can accept as my guru
- By some artificial bodily exercise one can control the senses. That is called yoga. But one who becomes directly a devotee, his sense control is automatically done, if he is devotee
- By somehow or other, you have come to accept a body from the American family. Now this will be changed. You do not know what is your next body. So this is changing. This is not my permanent settlement
- By sound vibration, by transcendental sound transmission, we understand that the Absolute Truth is realized in three phases. What is that? Brahmeti paramatmeti bhagavan iti sabdyate
- By speculation you cannot say, "Two plus two equal to five." That is not science. "Two plus two equal to four," that is everywhere. And if you speculate, "No, two plus two equal to five," or "Two plus two equal to three," that is not science
- By sticking to the regulative principles and chanting Hare Krsna, we shall be able to control the senses, and the first sense is the tongue
- By such endeavor even the most forgotten soul is roused up to the sense of spiritual life, & thus being initiated by the bhaktivedantas the people in general gradually progress on the path of transcendental realization
- By that only qualification, that he's not a Vaisnava, he cannot become guru, whereas, on the other's hand. If a person, sva-pacah means coming of the family of dog-eaters, candala - if he has become a Vaisnava, you can accept him as guru
- By the grace of Krsna, if we are sincere and serious, then Krsna becomes kind upon us and gives direction: buddhi-yogam dadami tam. "I give them buddhi-yogam." Buddhi means intelligence
- By the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, this movement has come to your country, and especially in a nice village like this, utilize it properly. It is a very ideal place. Not only this; there are many thousands of places like this
- By the symptoms the expert gold miner finds out that, "Here is gold, gold mine." Because in the within the soil, or with the soil you find some gold particles. That is the way
- By the tongue you can begin. Simply by eating krsna-prasadam, without reading any Vedic literature, without reading even Bhagavad-gita, if you simply think of Krsna, "How nicely Krsna has tasted this foodstuff," you become Krsna conscious
- By their discoveries, by their materialistic activities, atheistic activities, they're simply disturbing. Simply disturbing. That's all
- By these blunt senses we cannot understand what is Krsna. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau svayam eva sphuraty adah: but if you engage yourself in His transcendental loving service, beginning with the tongue
- By your force, you cannot see Him. But He is pleased, sevonmukhe hi jihvadau, when you accept to serve Him by your tongue, beginning with tongue, kirtanam
- By your ideal life, ideal teaching, you'll get. This Christian or any religion, what is the use of that? It's not at all religion. It's simply rubber-stamp
- By your own work, you suffer or enjoy. There is no enjoyment, simply suffer. That's all. Material world, there is no question of enjoyment. Simply we concoct, - This is enjoyment
- By your sense perception you cannot estimate even what is there in the moon planet or sun planet, this planet, within this universe. How you can understand the spiritual world by speculation? This is foolishness
C
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu advised anyone, especially His confidential devotees . . . just like Raghunatha dasa Gosvami: he was advised that, - You chant and don't eat very palatable food. Don't dress yourself very gorgeously
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu advised His disciples, "Never eat very palatable foodstuff. Never talk these village talks." Ordinary novel, literature, newspaper, He forbade
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu also, He said: "I was dreaming of Krsna, and why you awake Me? I have lost the chance." In this way they were making bhajana. This is called viraha-bhajana, separation. That is very recommended process
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared for preaching the importance of chanting Hare Krsna, and practically He entrusted the business to Haridasa Thakura, who was by his birth a Muhammadan
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu begins His philosophy from this point, that jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa: "The real constitutional position of all living entities is to serve Krsna." This is constitutional position
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu especially was very much against untruthfulness. Junior Haridasa Thakura was rejected because he showed a little symptom of untruthfulness
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu further says that the purpose of studying Vedas means to understand Krsna. And as soon as one understands Krsna, automatically the tinges of maya, the influence of maya, automatically becomes vanquished
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu has entrusted this missionary work to everyone. Bharata-bhumite manusya-janma haila yara (CC Adi 9.41). So there is good field for Krsna consciousness. They want it
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given open declaration: Anyone who is desirous of becoming Krsna conscious, it is open. Anyone can come. By proper training by the expert spiritual master everyone can be raised to the brahminical platform & then Vaisnava platform
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given the example: stool is impure, rejectable. Everyone knows. Veda says: "No, cow dung is pure." And you examine it; you'll find it is pure. That is Vedic knowledge
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu has said that the real goal of life is prema pum-artho mahan (Caitanya-manjusa). Prema, to attain love
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu has strictly forbidden to associate with Mayavadi. Mayavadi bhasya sunile haya sarva-nasa (CC Madhya 6.169): "Anyone who has associated with the Mayavadi, his spiritual life is finished." Sarva-nasa
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu is directly challenging Prakasananda Sarasvati. Prakasananda Sarasvati belonged to the Sankara-sampradaya, Sankara school of thought
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu is explaining His practical experience, how He's feeling joyful. So this is practical. There is nothing theoretical. This is standard, practical and easy. This is the beauty of this movement
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu picked up a very important persons, the six Gosvamis, Ramananda Raya, Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, like that, eight or ten direct disciples. And later on they preached the whole thing
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu recommends, kirtaniyah sada harih (CC Adi 17.31), always chant; that is the principle. But we cannot do that because we are so much overwhelmed by the influence of Kali. So at least sixteen rounds. Don't miss this
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied (to Prakasananda Sarasvati) that, "Sir, if I reply your question candidly, please do not be sorry." "No, I am not sorry. We are prepared." - Because My Guru Maharaja saw Me, I am the greatest fool
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied, - Vasudeva, do you think that if I take away all the conditioned souls of the universe, the whole universe if I take, do you think that it is finished, the business is finished?
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says mukhya-vrttye, direct meaning, as it is said. That is beauty of understanding
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that prthivite ache yata nagaradi-grama. And they have become very big Vaisnava: "No, I don't go beyond the limits of Vrndavana." What is this nonsense
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, "I understand that I am Your eternal servant. My position is Your servant. But I prefer to become the servant of maya. Therefore this is my fallen position. If You kindly take me again." And Krsna is ready
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, "In this age there is no other alternative, there is no other alternative." The so-called meditation, yoga or karma, jnana, mental speculation - everything will fail
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, janma sarthaka kari kara paropakara (CC Adi 9.41): "First of all make your life successful. Then you become a teacher." Paropakara. You are a fool number one and you are going to make paropakara
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu showed us how to become highest religious person. That is to feel always, "Oh, without Krsna, everything is vacant." Sunyayitam jagat sarvam govinda virahena me. That is dharma
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches us, - My dear Lord, Nanda-tanuja, son of Nanda Maharaja, Krsna, I am Your eternal servant. Somehow or other, I am now fallen in this material ocean
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu took sannyasa from Kesava Bharati. This Kesava Bharati belonged to Sankara sampradaya. Therefore Prakasananda Sarasvati also belonged to Sankara sampradaya. So he's asking that, - I understand that Your name is Sri Krsna Caitanya
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement is not sentimental. People think that this is a sentimental movement. No. We have got very good background
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu's picture, and offer Him little fruits and little flower and little incense, and chant and dance. Never mind what you are, what is your condition; everything will come later on
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu's process is that if anyone is a little inclined to Krsna, so we should give him all facilities to develop Krsna consciousness. That is pancaratrika-vidhi
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu's teaching is so sublime that such things (varnasrama-dharma), which is the beginning of human life, that is also unnecessary
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu's time, even the Hindus were against His movement, the brahmins. They complained to the Kazi that, "This is not Hindu movement." You see? The sankirtana movement
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, although He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He accepted guru. Krsna, the Supreme Personality, He accepted guru. So that is our Vedic principle
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, although He was initiated by Vaisnava, He took sannyasa, He accepted sannyasa, from Bharati, who belongs to the Sankara-sampradaya, Sankara sect
- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He's Krsna Himself. Still, He was following the authorities. Sri Krsna, Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality, He was also referring to the Brahma-sutra: brahma-sutra-padais caiva viniscitam
- Caitanya means living force. He says vicara. "Just try to understand by logic, by philosophy, by argument." That is vicara. We are not following Caitanya Mahaprabhu blindly. That is not our position
- Camaras and bhangis can be elevated to hari-jana, but not by rubber-stamp, "Visnu-jana." Visnu-jana and hari-jana, the same thing
- Can you say, anyone, that "Here is mind"? No, because it is finer. Then everyone has got some intelligence, but can you see intelligence? No. It is still finer. Similarly, there is soul, which is still finer than the intelligence. So how you can see soul?
- Canakya Pandita has says, tyaja durjana-samsargam: "Avoid bad men's company." Bhaja sadhu-samagamam - Always try to associate with learned, what is, sadhu, with devotees
- Canakya Pandita says, if there is no mother at home and the wife is not very suitable, does not speak very nicely with husband, disrespectful, then he is recommended to leave home and go to the forest
- Canakya Pandita says, or somebody, some authority says, that - In a place whether, where there is no friend, no temple and no river, don't go there
- Cats and dogs dying, nobody cares. But a human being dying, there are so many ceremonies, mourning, because human life is important
- Cats and dogs have sexual desire in certain period of the year. But a man, although he is trying to be animal, but he has no restriction. He has sexual desire anytime. Therefore he is worse than animal
- Chant Hare Krsna and you will feel. Because this method will cleanse your heart. The more you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra, the more you become fit to understand the philosophy of Krsna consciousness. That is the process
- Chanting Hare Krsna mantra, not for any profit. But go on serving Him. That's all. Material calculation, - Now, this much I have profited
- Chanting is so effective that it benefits even the animals, beasts, birds, insects, everyone. Hm. Go on. This is the best welfare activity
- Chanting of Hare Krsna with 108 beads means that we are surpassing the study of 108 Upanisads. Another meaning is that there are 108 damsels who served Krsna with all respect at Vrndavana. So that is also another explanation, 108
- Chanting of holy name is so powerful that he does not require even dependence on those ceremonies. Immediately he becomes - purified
- Cheating Krsna is no business. That is to be punished. You cannot cheat Krsna. But if by accident, knowingly or unknowingly, you have done something which is not good, that is excused
- Cheating religions, they are teaching that "We can create God. As we can create television, similarly, we can create God." They are teaching, "This is dharma." Just see how degraded they have been. And these things are going on as dharma
- Children, they're allowed to play, but under certain condition. So we all, we are all children of God, Krsna. So we have come here to enjoy, to lord it over the material nature. That is the tendency. So Krsna has given us the facility
- Christ is very ideal character, but these Christians, they . . . Not dignified him - degraded
- Christ, he's speaking of kingdom of God. So if you follow Christ, there is hope that you go to kingdom of God. But if you don't follow, you simply rubberstamp, "I am Christian," then it is useless
- Civilized means to raise oneself from the animal status of life to the human status life. That means rules and regulations
- Cleanliness, always clean, taking thrice bath. Cloth clean, mind clean, body clean, activities clean, desire clean, thinking clean - everything clean. No contamination. This is the test
- Cleverly they are inventing so many things. What is the idea? The idea is, "We shall live forever and enjoy sense gratification more and more." This is called atheistic advancement of civilization
- Comfortable or uncomfortable, it doesn't matter. If Krsna wants it, I must do it. - That is wanted. As soon as I discriminate, "This is comfortable, this is uncomfortable," that is material
- Comfortable situation is also sense gratification. Any situation, we have to serve Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness. Not that, "If it is comfortable to me, I shall do it." That is sense gratification
- Common people have joined. Everyone. We are opening centers so that any common man from any caste, any creed, any nation, they can come and join
- Communist Party is always disturbing to the government, similarly the demons, the atheist class of men, they're always disturbing to God. How they can gain the benediction from God?
- Conditioned soul means they have forgotten Krsna, they are suffering. That's a fact. Tri-tapa yantana, adhibhautika. But because they are illusioned, they are thinking, "We are enjoying." This is called illusion
- Confirmed by Lord Caitanya, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa: that real constitutional position of the living entity, especially of the human being, is to accept servitorship of Krsna
- Considering the present status, everything has topsy-turvy - therefore to bring everything on the equal level of high standard and perfectional standard is Krsna consciousness
- Contaminated, conditioned soul, their senses are imperfect. They cannot see things as they are. Simply they theorize: "It may be like that." So much they can say. So "It may be like that," that is not knowledge. Knowledge, definite. There is no mistake
- Control is there, but they do not know what kind of control should be there. The control should be, as we are prescribing, "You cannot take anything without Krsna's prasada." That is real control. Then you'll be happy
- Control the breathing, it requires celibacy, no sex life. Yoga-indriya-samyamah. That is called yoga, not that showing some gymnastic and smoking and yoga system. This is going on
- Cow dung - we have discussed this point many times - where it is impure, that it makes pure
- Cow dung is pure. If there is any impure place, if you smear over it cow dung, then it is pure. - That is also injunction of the Vedas
- Cow dung is stool. In one place it is said stool is impure; in another place it is said cow dung is pure. Now, one may argue, "What is this, contradiction?" But you have to believe it. That is Veda
- Cow dung is the stool of an animal. Even if we touch my own stool, I take bath. But cow dung, it is said, it is pure. If there is anywhere impure, you smear the cow dung; it will be pure
- Cow dung is, according to Vedic injunction, is pure. In India it is actually used as antiseptic
- Cowherds boy, they were equally on the same level. Although not same level, but they were given the opportunity to speak, to stand, to talk, to eat on the same level with Krsna. Now our position is different
- Cultivation of knowledge is also not easy for everyone. That is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita. - Out of many millions of persons, human being, one may be interested to know - What is the aim of life? Why I am suffering
- Cultivation of knowledge required. He must come to the senses, that "I am suffering. Every time I commit some criminality, I am punished. This is not very palatable. So why I cannot stop it?" This is the beginning of human life
D
- Daily if he stops breathing for three hours, that means daily he saves three hours time. So in hundred years so much time. So in this way, the yogi can live for three hundred years, four hundred years, six hundred years. This is called yogic success
- Daily or alternately, "Myaaah, myaah." And there is religious process that the head should be eastern side and the throat should be cut up. And when the animal dies, bifurcate, cleanse it and the skin and everything
- Daiva means generally visnu-bhakta. Visnu means the Supreme Lord who is all-pervasive. Everywhere He is present. Krsna, the Supreme Lord, He is Visnu also in His Paramatma feature
- Daiva-netrena means by superior examination. That is called the day of judgment in the Bible. Whether this soul is going to hell or heaven, that is the day of judgment
- Daivi sampat means the characteristics by which they can make very easy progress for liberation and spiritual realization
- Daksa sraddadhanah: faithful. Faithful to whom? To the spiritual master. Whatever he says, the brahmacari should take it: "Yes, it is my life and soul." That is the explanation given by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura
- Dancing they have got - Krsna dancing, always. Painting they have got, singing they have got, arts, literature. We have got eighty books like this, four hundred pages. Pure life - no meat-eating, no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling. Finished
- Dark well means a very deep ditch, well, but it is covered with grass. You cannot know that there is a deep well, but while walking, you may fall down within it
- Darsi means who has got eyes to see what is the Absolute Truth. Don't go to a blind man, who has no knowledge about the Absolute Truth
- Daya means to become compassionate to the fallen, one who has fallen, one who is in distress. So actually, the whole population at the present moment, they're fallen
- Death is already there, and you are utilizing atomic energy for death, that's all. So what is your credit? You use atomic energy that you'll not die. Then it is control
- Death is already there. You might have atomic energy or no atomic energy - you have to die. By atomic energy you are accelerating the same problem of death, that's all
- Death is nothing but sleeping for seven months. That's all. Sleeping for seven months, that is called death
- Death is sleeping for seven months. That's all. For three months without any consciousness. Or, say, seven months. Death means forgetfulness
- Death means we shall sleep for seven months continually, and when we get up I see another body. That is birth and death
- Death means, according to Vedic literature, sleeping for seven months. Just as I give up this body, I have to enter into the womb of some kind of mother. These things are explained in the Vedic literatures. I am not manufacturing
- Dehe means in this body, and dehi means the person who is within this body, he is there, from that pealike form. Because my form, my measurement, is so small that we cannot see. It is not possible. It is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair
- Dehi, within the body, the living spirit, or living soul, is sitting there. And because we are under the control of maya, we wanted it, such a body, so Krsna has given
- Deity is installed by the authorized person and it is worshiped according to authorized methods. So it is not idol. Idol worship, you imagine something and you, some doll or idol, and do in your own way, that is idol worship
- Deity worship is open for everyone so that, knowingly or unknowingly, anyone who is coming here, he is becoming pious. Krta-punya-punjah (SB 10.12.11). Because Krsna worship, or God worship, is not possible for persons who are sinful
- Demons are generally very powerful. They are so-called educated. So many things they have got. But the test is: if he has no Krsna consciousness or God consciousness, he is demon. That's all. That is the study of demon
- Demons means flesh-eaters. They are doing even, I mean to say drunkards, gamblers, women-hunters. These are the qualifications of the demons. Because demons means materialistic. That's all
- Desire means you have to accept different types of body. It is . . . you cannot make any permanent settlement. That is not possible. And that is also your fault
- Desire there must be. But when it is desired for Krsna, it is purified desire, and when it is desired for non-Krsna, then it is impurified
- Detroit temple, that building was constructed at a cost of two million dollars, say some fifty years, sixty years ago. And we purchased it at three hundred thousand dollars
- Devahuti says, gataham saranam saranyam: - You are the only shelter. Therefore I am taking shelter. And You can cut my attachment for this material life. And why You shall do it? Because I am Your eternal servant
- Devotee means to hear about Krsna, to chant the glories of Krsna, to think of Krsna, to offer fruits and flowers to Krsna. In this way, this is called devotional service
- Devotee must rise early in the morning, by four o'clock. By five o'clock, he must finish his bathing and other things. Then he takes to chanting and so on. Twenty-four hours' business must be there. So sleeping is not good
- Devotee or not devotee, by eating krsna-prasadam, he'll gradually become devotee. As yesterday I explained that krsna-bhakti begins from the tongue, If you engage your tongue in the service of the Lord, then Lord manifests
- Devotee will have to meet so many enemies. Just like we have got this from the life of Lord Jesus Christ. When he was being killed by others, he said, to excuse them, "God, they do not know what they are doing." That is devotee's position
- Devotees who are fighting against maya, their facility is first concern. They're fighting, trying to save the people from the onslaught of material energy
- Devotees, they want to decrease the fever. Therefore the highest, ideal life, according to Vedic civilization: brahmanas, Vaisnavas. They decrease their demands of the body. Minimum demand
- Devotional service are discharged in nine different ways: To hear about the Lord from proper source; & kirtanam, to glorify the Lord; smaranam, meditating upon the Lord; pada-sevanam, to engage oneself in the service; arcanam, worshiping
- Devotional service begins from jihva, tongue. This tongue means can be utilized in devotional service in two ways, namely by chanting the holy name of God and by tasting prasadam
- Devotional service means submission, surrender. First of all surrender. Sarva-dharman parityajya: "You cannot understand Me by your so-called karma, jnana, yoga or dhyana. No, it is not possible." Bhaktya mam abhijanati. Bhaktya means to surrender
- Devotional service so nice, that even if you fall down, there is not very great loss. Great loss means you get human body, not an animal body
- Dhanyena dhanavan. If you have got grain, then you are rich. And if you have got cows, then you are rich. This is the standard of Vedic richness. Dhanyena dhanavan gavayo dhanavan
- Dharma and adharma . . . Our real dharma is to serve God. That is our real duty. And as soon as we neglect this permanent service or occupation, then we are liable to be punished
- Dharma artha kama moksa (SB 4.8.41, CC Adi 1.90). And at last, to become liberated, moksa. Moksa means to get out of the entanglement of material miserable condition of life
- Dharma does not mean a kind of faith, blind faith. Dharma means the real characteristic. For example, just like water is liquid. This is the characteristic of water. That is dharma. Stone is solid. That is the characteristic of stone. That is dharma
- Dharma does not mean I manufacture at my home some religion and it becomes dharma. No. That kind of religion is rejected. Dharmah projjhita kaivato 'tra - That kind of cheating religion is rejected
- Dharma means constitutional. Dharma does not mean, as it is stated in some of the English dictionary, "a kind of faith." Faith may be blind. That is not dharma
- Dharma means original, constitutional position. That is dharma. I have several times said. . . Just like water. Water is liquid. That is its dharma
- Dharma means to be situated in one's position. That is called dharma. dharma is not a kind of faith. Faith is sometimes blind. That is not dharma
- Dharma means to become servant of Krsna, and adharma means to become servant of maya. This is the distinction between dharma and adharma, religious and irreligious
- Dharma, religion, or the characteristic of human being, there are so many, but sa vai pumsam paro dharmo, that is superior quality of religion or characteristic
- Dharma, to become religious, the purpose is to go up to the point of mukti. Dharma artha kama moksa (SB 4.8.41, CC Adi 1.90), gradually. Gradually, step by step
- Dharma-ksetra everyone knows. Kuruksetra is still dharma-ksetra. Everyone goes there for religious performances. Where is the difficulty? Why you make it difficult
- Dharma-samsthapanarthaya. He has come. He came to establish real religious principle. Real religious principle means to accept the codes of Krsna. Dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam - SB 6.3.19
- Dharma-samsthapanarthaya: "I come to reestablish the religious principles." But again He says, sarva-dharman parityajya, parityajya that any religion which does not teach how to surrender to God, that is not religion
- Dharmasya hy apavargyasya. To become religious means how to counteract these five principles. That is dharma
- Dhrta-vrato mrduh, mild, gentleness. This is human life, not to live like cats and dogs. That is not human life. Real human life, the picture is here. One must be trained up to all these qualification
- Dhruva Maharaja - he was pious, born in a very pious family, and by family quarrel he went to worship the Supreme Lord Visnu in the forest, aspiring material opulence

- Dictating means you voluntarily become subjected to the dictation of this material nature. She cannot dictate if you are strong
- Dictionary is not the standard. The standard is the book itself. That is our preaching
- Did you not say that we have got something; the pleasure derived from all these things, that is very inferior? We have got pleasure of superior quality. Therefore we have been able to give it up. That is the fact
- Diksa cannot be offered to a sudra. But in this age, Kali-yuga, it is the statement of the sastras that in the Kali-yuga most of the population are sudras. Kalau sudra sambhavah. How they can be initiated
- Direct perception is speculation. Dr. Frog is speculating what is Atlantic Ocean. He is in the well, three-feet well, and some friend inform him, "Oh, I have seen vast water." "What is that vast water?" - Atlantic Ocean
- Directly it is not possible to worship the Supreme Lord. One has to go through the acarya. Therefore Vyasadeva is the original acarya
- Disciple may understand that, "Here is a person whom I can accept as my guru," and the guru also can see that, "Here is a person who is fit for becoming my disciple." Then the business is nice
- Discuss this point. What is the difficulty? Why people are not Krsna conscious? But the process is very simple. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji - BG 18.65
- Diseased man, he cannot enjoy life. His enjoyment of life is a false enjoyment. When he's cured, when he's in healthy life, then his enjoyment is bona fide
- Distress and happiness, they're already destined, according to our body. We have discussed this point. Take, for example, you American boys and girls: you have got a body by your previous activities. So your standard of living is better than other country
- Divine nature has been explained in various ways from the very beginning (of BG). Now Krsna is explaining about the demonic nature. The first characteristic of demonic nature is they do not know what should be proper and improper action
- Do something the people will be benefited, actual. And the whole instruction is there. Then it will be successful
- Do you think that if you make zero, zero, zero, zero, million times, has it any value? How do they conclude from zero such a management, cosmic manifestation has come
- Do you think that you do not love anyone and you become peaceful? No. How it is possible? Therefore, if you love God, then you can love everyone. And if you don't love God, then you cannot love anyone. Because He's the center
- Doctor is also as good a scientist as you are. If you do not have faith in the doctor, why do you claim people to have faith on you? Where is the proof that you'll be able? Why you are asking us blindly to follow you
- Doctor says that "You don't have sex life. That will bring your death." Does it mean sex life is bad? The tuberculosis person, for him it is bad, not for the sane man, not for the healthy man
- Doctor, you have got very good patients. Your practice is very nice. - So his name was Suvahi. He's Muhammadan. So, - Sir, it is not my credit. If you want my practical experience, I'll say you with confidence I prescribe somebody some medicine, it fails
- Doctors, medical practitioners, they first of all ply their knife on the dead body and find out where are the nerves, not a living man. When they are fully practiced, then they are allowed to practice surgical operation
- Does Bhagavan comes under maya? No. Krsna says, mama maya. Maya is the maidservant of Krsna, and we are servant of maya. So how we can become Bhagavan? This is common sense
- Does he (a mahatma) follow this devotional service blindly? No. Jnatva. Jnatva means - knowing perfectly that I (Krsna) am the source of everything
- Does it mean that we are offering our obeisances to a metal doll? We have become so fool? No. We take it, - Here is Krsna personally standing
- Dog is also begetting children, man is also begetting. What is the difference? The difference is man should be responsible that, - This child who has come to me, this is his last birth. No more birth again
- Dog is your best friend. In India dog is untouchable. So "Man is known by his company." If your best friend is dog, then what you are?
- Dog's another business is that he is seeking always master. Unless he finds out a good master, it is a street dog and it has no place
- Dog, unless he finds out a very nice master, it is street dog, loitering in the street
- Don't be cheaters. Krsna knows whether you are cheater or you are sincere. If you are sincere, then He will give you intelligence how you will make progress
- Don't be falsely puffed up. Follow the acarya's instruction and try to make yourself perfect, mature. Then it will be very easy to fight out maya. Yes
- Don't be very much happy when you are in happy condition of life; neither you become mad in miserable condition of life. Chant Hare Krsna and make your life success. That is required
- Don't bring in any religion. A type of religion is made, "Believe something blindly." So that is not our concern. We are talking of the science. If I say that stone is also Krsna, is not that the science?
- Don't falsely claim that "Because I am qualitatively one with God, therefore I am God." No. You may be god. God means controller. But you are not the Supreme God. The Supreme God is Krsna
- Don't falsely claim that you are God, you are everything, you are moving this world. Why? Actually are you doing that? Then why do you falsely claim like that? What is your answer?
- Don't hear from any rascal. Hear from Bhagavan and take it and accept it. Then gradually your existence will be purified
- Don't make this life of fifty years, sixty years or seventy years or hundred years as all in all. You have got a continuous life of transmigration from one body to another. It is going on. You must know that
- Don't remain in the ignorant stage of life. That is called sudra. Try to become brahmana. That (Satyam param dhimahi) is the meaning
- Don't take it (Krsna consciousness movement) as a sectarian religious system. It is very scientific understanding for spiritual life
- Don't take it (Krsna consciousness movement) that it is a type of sectarian religion. No. It is a culture. It is meant for every human being
- Don't take it (Krsna consciousness) as a sectarian movement. Don't misunderstand this movement as a CIA movement. These are all foolishness
- Don't think it (Krsna consciousness movement) is any sectarian religion. It is a science. It is a culture. You are trying to educate people how to become Brahmin
- Don't think that "These boys are brought here. They're not giving any education, academic. They do not know what is history, what is geography." They know little, little; not very much
- Don't think that after the official ceremony of initiation your business and my business is finished. No. The business begins. It is not the finishing; it is the beginning
- Don't think that it (Krsna consciousness movement) is a sectarian religion. We are making people God conscious. It doesn't matter whichever religion you may belong, we want to see whether you are actually God conscious
- Don't think that we are after vegetarian, nonvegetarian. No. That is not our philosophy. Because either you take vegetable or you take meat, you are killing. And you have to kill, otherwise you cannot live. That is nature's way
- Don't think that, "I am very learned scholar. I can manufacture my own way how to find out God," or "I am God," and so on, so on. This practice should be given up
- Don't try to be predominator. Oh, then immediately fall down, because you are not predominator. It is a false claim that, "I want to predominate. I am God. I am predominator. I am this. I am that." These are all rascaldom
- Don't try to make economic development, dharmartha-kama-moksa (SB 4.8.41). Don't try to become a religious person also. Religious person means strictly following the rules and regulation of varnasrama-dharma. That is called religious
- Don't waste time for unnecessary questions and answers. But we have to do something sometimes. But that is not the way - unless one surrenders fully, pranipatena, and renders service
- Don't waste your time. Simply always pour in, give aural reception to the message of Urukrama. Don't waste a single moment. This should be your life's policy
- Down, when you start your plane, it may be very dark, and then, when you go beyond the sky, seven miles above, then you see there is sunlight
- Dravidian culture. Dravida. They are non-Aryans. Just like these Africans, they are not Aryans. Now they are mixing up with European and American
- Due to our forgetfulness, we are struggling for existence to get happiness, but because we do not know what is the source of happiness, it is called struggle for existence. This is going on
- Due to some of his past misdeeds he has been born in that way. But that is not the prime responsibility. The prime responsibility is that everyone is open to accept Krsna consciousness
- Duhkha-gramad means volumes of miserable condition of life. One can avoid volumes of miserable condition of life simply by chanting
- Duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). It is stated by Krsna Himself that this is a place only for misery, but under the influence of maya, we are accepting all miserable conditions of life as happiness. This is called maya
- Duhkhalayam means the place of miseries. If the place is made for miseries, how you can make this place as full of pleasure, if God made like that
- Duhkhalayam means the place of miseries. We are thinking that we have made a paradise, but actually the place is miserable, because the threefold miseries, they are there
- During that seven months (while entering into the womb of mother and manufacturing another body), we do not know what is happening. That is death. Death means that. Otherwise, there is no death. The spirit soul is eternal
- During this period, I mean to say, quitting this body, entering into another body and to develop that body, come to the consciousness point of view, it takes seven months. So death means sleeping for seven months
- During time of war, the government takes care of the soldiers first, and the civilians, their eating, their supply is controlled. But the soldier's supply is never controlled, because he is giving good, better service to the state
- Duryodhana received him (Arjuna) as his brother - My dear brother, you have come? What do you want? You want the kingdom without fighting? Therefore you have come? I can give you. I can stop this fighting if you want without fighting
- Duryodhana thought that, "Krsna will not fight, and He's prepared to give me soldiers," he took the soldiers, and Arjuna said: "No, I want You." So this was the division
- Duryodhana, by the blessings of his mother, his whole body became iron-like, solid. So by beating by the Bhima, it was not easy
- Duskrtina, "Wrong genius." That means the materialistic persons, scientists, they're genius. They have discovered very wonderful machine, wonderful things. They are genius - but duskrtina: not for the welfare of the human's society but for condemning
E
- Each and every one of us is individual soul, and our consciousness is limited within the body. Similarly, there is another consciousness and another body. That body is universal body, and that consciousness is universal
- Early in the morning, even in chilly cold, they will take bath, taking water from the well. Nature's arrangement is, if you take well water, early in the morning, not very hot, but is warm. You can take very easily your bath. This is called naimitti
- Eating, sleeping, and during sleeping we sometimes dream, fearing, or without dream, fearing. So we take protection. While sleeping, we close our doors
- Eating, sleeping, sex life and defense - this is the demands of the body. But if I am situated in self-realization, then these demands will not bother me
- Eating, we want palatable dishes. Very good. But you prepare the palatable foodstuff for Krsna. For Krsna you prepare hundreds of palatable . . . don't think that - It is being prepared for me
- Education means to find out the ultimate goal, Absolute Truth. In whatever field of education you may be, that doesn't matter. But try to find out the ultimate. Because in the Vedanta-sutra it is said - What is Absolute Truth
- Education system should be stopped. Rascal, producing rascals and hippies in the university. What is the use of this education?
- Eight people are responsible. One who kills, one who orders, one who purchases, one who cooks, one who. So many. There are eight. Manu-samhita. Eight men are responsible for killing the animals
- Either any yoga system, any spiritual life is called yoga. Yoga means to link. We are part and parcel of the supreme absolute, Brahman or Bhagavan, whatever you call, Paramatma, it doesn't matter. But yoga means linking
- Either he (a devotee) goes to hell or heaven, it doesn't matter. You see? If Krsna goes with him, then it is no longer hell
- Either hell or heaven, that doesn't matter. So how do you go there
- Either my father was lord or I have accumulated some wealth, the government has recognized me as lord . . . under certain condition, I have become lord. But He is adi. Adi means He is the origin. There is nothing beyond Him; therefore adi. Adi, anadi
- Either way you say, incarnation of Sadasiva or Maha-Visnu, it doesn't matter. But Advaita Acarya is isvara-tattva. He's not sakti-tattva. He's isvara-tattva. And we are all sakti-tattva. Therefore there is difference. Sakti-saktiman
- Either you accept it directly or you try to understand through philosophy and science. We have got so many books. So kindly take advantage of this movement

- Either you follow Bhagavad-gita or Bible as they are, then you become gradually perfect. The difficulty is they do not follow. And still they're claiming, "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am this," "I am that." Rubber stamp. No qualification
- Either you go to Brahmaloka or Patalaloka or any loka, this form or that body, you will have to go through these four principles of material condition: birth, death, old age and disease. That is not possible to overcome

- Either you love your family or your country or your society or your wife, your children, by loving there is happiness. But this loving process is not giving us happiness. We are becoming frustrated
- Either you take the shelter of Lord Jesus Christ or Krsna, if you follow his instruction - this is the way of understanding - then you will understand. But if you don't care for his instruction, then you will never understand. This is the process
- Eka, the sun is one, but the sunshine means combination of many small atomic particles. Similarly, God is one, and we, part and parcel of God, we are many. Try to understand this. This is authoritative statement
- Electricity is power, but it is generated from the powerhouse. People generally understand that electricity is coming from the powerhouse. But the powerhouse is maintained by the resident engineer, a person. That is real understanding

- Equal vision means that I don't make any distinction between you and a dog
- Equal vision to all living entities that the self, that active principle, is working in the fish, in the insect, within the tree, within the plant, within the animals, within the birds and within me. This is self-realization
- Especially at the present moment, Kali-yuga, the atheistic persons are almost everyone. They have been described as mandah. Mandah sumanda-matayo manda-bhagya (SB 1.1.10). Manda means bad, very bad

- Europeans, Americans, they are over-intelligent. They have intelligence, over-intelligence. Unnecessarily. They manufacture a machine for shaving and they have wasted so much time. But people like it

- Even a devotee is sometimes found not acting properly, but because he has got that unflinching faith and devotion upon Me, - Krsna says: "therefore he is saint." Only for that one qualification - he does not know except Krsna
- Even a medical practitioner, he does not know, he has no knowledge of the spirit soul. He simply studies the mechanical arrangement of the body
- Even a plant you cannot kill, what to speak of bigger animals. If one thinks that "I am killing only plants; therefore I am very pious, vegetarian," no. There is no question of vegetarian, nonvegetarian. They are equally sinful
- Even an elephant or any other animal can also satisfy the Lord. How? Bhaktya, simply by feelings of love, that's all
- Even born in a Brahmin family, a woman is taken as woman, not as Brahmin. But Krsna says - Never mind. Even if she is woman, even she is sudra, even she is vaisya, or any other. If anyone is bona-fidely made KC, so his way is open to the path of Vaikuntha
- Even born in kirata family, the aborigines . . . these names are of the candalas. They are not Aryans. Non-Aryans
- Even by killing vegetable, you are also as sinful as killing animal. But because we offer to Krsna, therefore we are not sinful. Krsna wants it
- Even children fight, cats and dogs fight, birds fight, ants fight. We have seen it. So why not human being? The fighting spirit is there
- Even children, who has no politics, no enmity, they fight for five minutes; again they are friends. So the fighting spirit is there. Now, how you should be utilized?
- Even eating, sleeping, mating can be utilized as Krsna consciousness if you follow the rules and regulation. There is facility. And as soon as you deviate, then you become subject to the control of maya
- Even followers of Sankaracarya . . . Sankaracarya does not give anyone any recognition unless he's a sannyasi. That is the strict principle of Sankara-sampradaya
- Even from material prosperity, if one is situated in the modes of goodness, then he can be elevated to the higher planetary system - Svargaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Brahmaloka, Satyaloka

- Even he is so-called educated, he's not educated. Anyone who does not know about God, he's not educated, he's a rascal. This is our conclusion. Not our conclusion, this is sastra's conclusion

- Even if you accept that I shall adjust my miserable condition of life, but still nature will not allow you to live there
- Even if you accept this place of misery to be your permanent residence, that also you cannot have. You have to go out. Today or tomorrow or fifty years after, you have to go
- Even if you are going to some place for Krsna's business, to see the police commissioner or going to the court for some degree or . . . because you are doing - you are concentrating your mind on Krsna - that is called yoga, bhakti-yoga
- Even if you cannot offer anything . . . I think everyone can offer, I think, a flower can be offered, a little fruit can be offered
- Even if you do not ask, the food is there, we should understand. Because the animals, lower than human being, they do not go to church or to temple to ask for daily bread, but they get their bread
- Even if you do not know any practical work, simply you give your reception, aural reception, submissive aural reception, and understand that what is the nature of God, you'll be free from this material bondage

- Even if you go to the Aga Khan, he does not fight, do you mean to say that you will live forever
- Even if you go to the Brahmaloka, where one twelve hours means thousands of four yugas, but still there is death. So we cannot avoid this
- Even if you go to the highest planetary system, Brahmaloka, then there also punar avartinah, means the four principles of material existence, namely birth, death, old age and disease, they will accompany you. Wherever you go
- Even if you live longer, does it meant that eternal life? That is already there. I'll live for eighty years. Another lives for, say, sixty years. Another lives for hundred years. That is already there
- Even if you make compromise that "Never mind. I am happy now to my estimation," the answer is duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). You cannot make permanent settlement. That is not possible

- Even in the severest type of cold, they (Six Gosvamis) remain without dress, sitting, only smearing the body with some ashes. They'll take bath in the morning and cover the body with ashes - not very thick
- Even in the spiritual world there is varieties. That varieties are reflected in this material world. Therefore here also, we love somebody as friend, we love somebody as wife, we love somebody as father, we love somebody as mother, like that
- Even in the stool, the worms in the stool, he's also thinking, "I have got so much stool to eat." This same mastership. - I am the monarch of all I survey. I have got so much stool
- Even one is able to perform prayascitta, then there is possibility of again falling down unless one is clear consciousness, and that, Krsna consciousness
- Even one is born in low grade family, he has got the facility of joining this Krsna consciousness movement and everyone has the capability to understand it, every human being
- Even one is illiterate. Even he does not know what is ABCD, he can realize God provided he engages himself in this submissive transcendental loving service. And one may be very learned, high scholar, but he cannot realize God
- Even one is married, he wants to love another's wife. Or if the girl married she wants to love another husband. Why? That is there (in the spiritual world). But without inebriety. That is the beauty
- Even one tries to understand Krsna, he does not finish, Krsna says, "Even little beginning of this devotional service can save one person from the greatest danger." Therefore there is great need of KC movement all over the world, to make them intelligent
- Even ordinary things, cleanliness, that is very hygienic. That also they (demons) do not know. Na saucam napi cacarah. They do not know how to behave also. Na satyam: and no truthfulness is there
- Even papa-yoni, degraded birth, even women, sudra and vaisya, they also can become fully Krsna conscious by training. And they can also go back to home, back to Godhead, without any check
- Even President Nixon, he is also full of anxieties: "When I shall be dethroned? When I shall be dethroned? Let me take protection." Anyone, beginning from Lord Brahma down to the small ant
- Even the birds and beasts, they do not try for their food and shelter. They are certain that, - Somewhere we have got our shelter and there is somewhere my food
- Even the Christian, religious persons, they also open hospital to give relief to the patient. So that is not the program. The program is why he should fall sick and come to the hospital? Precaution is better than cure
- Even the fifth-grade man, he can be purified by Krsna consciousness movement. Therefore there is great need of this movement
- Even the great scientists who have discovered many wonderful scientific contributions could not trace out about the personal self, which is the cause of such wonderful discoveries
- Even the Mayavadis, they are also praising these activities. Yesterday two Mayavadi sannyasis came, Sankara-sampradaya
- Even there is no enmity, there are so many living entities, just like bugs, mosquitoes, other animals. They are always prepared to give us trouble. This is called adhibhautika
- Even they are in the Brahman, merge into the Brahman, the mastership mentality is there; therefore he falls down again. Because mastership exhibition can be done in this material world
- Even though we do not know how to chant, according to sastric injunctions, there are ten kinds of offenses. When we avoid that offenses, then it is pure chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra
- Even though you reach the topmost planet of this universe, still, there the four principles of material life, namely birth, death, old age and disease, are there
- Even university students, they say, "If next life, if I become animal, what is the wrong?" Just see, how much degraded
- Even war is stopped, there is no question that people will live forever. No. That is not the law of nature
- Even we are promoted to the higher standard of life, as in higher planets the demigods, the four principles of material miseries, namely birth, death, old age and disease, we cannot avoid, either in the higher planetary or in the lower planetary system
- Even we eat vegetable, that is also killing. But because I have to kill somebody to eat, that does not mean that I can kill my child also. That is also going on. There is discrimination
- Even you cannot go to the moon planet, which is so nearest. But still, we are proud of our these airplanes, sputniks. We are thinking, - Now we have become God
- Even you do not understand, do not take it very seriously, if we simply give aural reception to the words of Krsna, that activity itself is punya
- Even you do ordinary killing, vegetable killing, you are killing so many germs. So in higher sense, if you take this principle of Bible, "Thou shall not kill," that means you must eat krsna-prasadam, otherwise you will be killing
- Every devotee aspires to see the Lord. That is natural. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that - It doesn't matter. Whether I see Krsna or not, it doesn't matter
- Every devotee is subordinate. Nobody is equal to Krsna. If we do that, then it is mistake. A devotee never says. Dasa. Dasa means servant. Servant is always the subordinate
- Every devotee should be so sincere to Krsna, or God, that he must execute Krsna's mission
- Every devotee, every pure soul, duty is how to extinguish the blazing fire. And that can be done only by pushing on this Krsna consciousness movement. Otherwise, it is not possible
- Every devotee, they must follow the rules and regulations, that's all
- Every devotee, Vaisnava, they voluntarily takes this business just to satisfy Krsna, to explain Krsna, just like Kunti is explaining. Because if we understand Krsna thoroughly, then we are liberated

- Every Indian has to perfect his life by accepting the Vedic principle and distribute it to the whole world. - This is the best welfare activities in the human society
- Every Indian home, especially the Hindus, never mind in whatever sect or division they belong, they observe Krsna's birthday. As here in the Christian world you observe the birthday of Lord Jesus Christ
- Every living entity has got a tendency for certain class of thing, especially sex and eating nonvegetarian things
- Every living entity is eternal servant of Krsna. When he forgets Krsna he becomes servant of maya. That is our position. We have to serve
- Every living entity is eternal. He's interested with eternal happiness. He's not interested, I mean to say, temporary happiness
- Every moment he's dying, and still he thinks, "I shall live forever." This is asura
- Every month they must be asked what they need. Necessities, they must be supplied. We have already discussed this point. The women, they require protection - children, women
- Every one of us, we are imperfect. We are very much proud of our eyes: "Can you show me?" What qualification your eyes have got that you can see?
- Every one of us, we are now dogs of the material nature, or just like street dogs. Therefore we should take shelter of the big master, Krsna. Then it will be all right
- Every one of us, we are simultaneously one with God and different from God. One in quality. The quality of God is also in me. I am of the same quality
- Every one of you should very carefully read. Every one of you must have one book and read it carefully and appear in the examination next Janmastami. You'll get designation, Bhakti-sastri
- Every religion believes - not believes; it is fact - that there is God. Or any religion will deny the existence of God, is there any religion? I don't think. Is there any religion?
- Every religion, simply by rubber stamp, "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian," but they do not know what is religion. They do not know
- Every sastra has been interpreted wrongly, and therefore people are misguided. They could not take advantage of the instruction of Bhagavad-gita because all through, the Bhagavad-gita has been misinterpreted
- Every sastra says, vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah (BG 15.15).All the Vedic literatures, they aim at understanding Krsna
- Every spirit soul is son of God, but materially we think somebody as father. But real father is God. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita - BG 14.4
- Every Vaisnava sampradaya has his own explanation of Vedanta-sutra. Don't understand Vedantist means the monopoly by Sankara sampradaya. No
- Every Vaisnava, every devotee of Krsna, pure devotee of Krsna, is a paramahamsa. So you . . . we are teaching people to become immediately paramahamsa, highest stage of sannyasa. And the method is simply chanting Hare Krsna
- Every years, almost six to seven months, I pass outside India
- Everyone achieves . . . whatever facilities he has got in his life, it is all from Krsna. Without Krsna, nobody can have anything, either demonic or devotional
- Everyone becomes a servant of the senses just beginning from the tongue. They cannot control the tongue. They eat anything and everything. Therefore they cannot control others senses also
- Everyone can practice at home. Is it very difficult task, to gather some flowers and some leaves and decorate and have some picture or statue of the Lord, offer Him some fruits, flower? Everyone can do this
- Everyone can think of Krsna. Here is Krsna's form. Everyone can chant Hare Krsna. Everyone can offer obeisances. Everyone can offer some fruits and flowers. This is the opportunity
- Everyone claims that "We are also following Vyasadeva." But not superficially. Actually following Vyasadeva. Just like Vyasadeva accepted Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Everyone falsely thinking, "I am free. Our nation is free. I am free." What nonsense free? You are locked up already. He has preferred to remain in this prison locked up by sex because he is rascal
- Everyone has choice. Choice, but under the control. Exactly like that. By your choice, you go to the prison house. By your choice, you go to the university
- Everyone has got God-gifted instrument, this ear. And if we give aural reception, we'll learn. There is no need of education, A-B-C-D. No
- Everyone has got his own opinion, however condemned it may be. And on that point everyone is prepared to fight with one. Therefore it is called Kali-yuga
- Everyone has got his particular propensity. So someone is serving as the land there; someone is serving as the throne; someone is serving as the supplying agent of fruits and flowers; someone is engaged in His service as the gopis, confidential servitors
- Everyone has got some occupational duty. So dharmam hi saksad bhagavat-pranitam (SB 6.3.19). That occupational duty is assigned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Tena tyaktena bhunjithah - ISO 1
- Everyone has got the facilities for sense enjoyment. Why not human being? Human being is developed consciousness; he has got better facilities. But the human being's business is not to indulge in sense gratification

- Everyone is afraid what will happen next. This is unhappiness. So either you be Indira Gandhi or a street dog, that is nature's law. Nobody is happy
- Everyone is born sudra, and by undergoing the reformation process, he becomes twice-born. The father is the spiritual master, and the mother is Vedic knowledge

- Everyone is embarrassed. Everyone is trying that, "I shall become happy in this way." So that means he is feeling distress
- Everyone is engaged in so-called duties but forget the real duty. This is called maya
- Everyone is falsely thinking independent, but he is dependent. But he is depending on false platform. That is the mistake of this material civilization. They are thinking of protection from a tiltering platform, material world
- Everyone is given facility, but it is karmanubandhanah, just a facility for the living entities who wanted to enjoy this material world. This material world is not wanted. Everyone should live in the spiritual world
- Everyone is governor. You are also governor, or isvara, controller, but not the supreme controller. Our message is that here in this material world, there are many controllers, many governors, many isvaras, but nobody is the supreme isvara
- Everyone is hankering after that pure, joyful life, but he does not know where to get it. That is the defect. That information we are giving. Here is the life. You just try to approach Radha and Krsna and you'll have full life of enjoyment
- Everyone is inquisitive, "Why there are varieties of life?" I do not know what the modern scientist says, but they do not understand that there is soul in these different types of body
- Everyone is practically aware that how sex life is followed by so many miserable condition of life - everyone knows it - either illicit or legal. The world is going on

- Everyone is seeking after happiness. Atyantika-duhkha-nivrttih. The struggle for existence is to minimize miserable condition of life and increase enjoyment
- Everyone is seeking happiness. Why we are seeking happiness? What is the answer
- Everyone is servant of the senses. Everyone is acting being dictated by the senses: "Oh, it is very nice. Let me see." The eyes dictate what we see
- Everyone is servant, but falsely thinking "I'm master." That is material disease
- Everyone is servant. Every living entity is a servant. As enunciated by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109) - The real, constitutional position of the living entity is eternal servant of Krsna
- Everyone is sudra. "Come on. New beginning. New life again." And that is the whole basic principle of our Krsna consciousness movement
- Everyone is suffering for misuse of their intelligence, denying the authority of God. And everyone can take advantage. We are giving that knowledge. Without any exception, everyone can take. This is our line
- Everyone is suffering. Somebody is in ignorance: although he is suffering, he is thinking that he is very well. This is called maya. Maya means you are accepting something which is not
- Everyone is thinking that his understanding is the greatest. He has no idea that how greatest God is. We say "God is great," but we do not know how great He is
- Everyone is thinking. I make my plan, I make my survey, and I become king. But that is maya. You cannot become. You are already servant of maya
- Everyone is trying to become happy with society, friendship and love - children, wife, friends, money and house and land. This is the conception of material
- Everyone is trying to become the master. Nobody is trying to become a servant. Ask anyone that "Why you are working so hard?" - No, I shall get so much money, I shall become very wealthy
- Everyone is trying to get out of miserable condition of life. But they do not know what is the actual position of miserable life. Miserable condition of life: tri-tapa-yatanah
- Everyone is trying to get very rich, to get monetary power, so that they can satisfy their senses
- Everyone is trying to understand Krsna from the angle of vision as he can understand. Krsna is beyond that. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja, - beyond the limit
- Everyone is ultimately afraid of being killed. But if he understands fully that he is not this body, then killed or not killed, he is not any attached to this body
- Everyone is under the control of maya. Nobody is free. But there are two maya: yoga-maya and maha-maya. Maha-maya, this material world, and yoga-maya, the spiritual world

- Everyone is working for his personal benefit, - How much money I shall get? How much name and fame and reputation I shall get?
- Everyone is working to get some money, and money means to satisfy my senses, my demands of the senses. This is called karma
- Everyone is working under the direction of the Supreme Lord. Ocean, although very powerful, very big, still, by the order of Krsna, it cannot go beyond the limit. It cannot go
- Everyone knows animal life is full of suffering, but they cannot realize. But a human being can realize. And when the question comes, when he becomes intelligent enough that "Why I am suffering?" then his human life begins
- Everyone knows God is great. "Great" means everyone is small; He is great. Nobody is equal to Him. Nobody is greater than Him. That is the meaning of greatness
- Everyone knows that "I'll not live forever." But even though it is temporary, adhruvam, not eternal, it is arthadam. It is said, arthadam. Whatever little life you have got, you can attain perfection
- Everyone knows that he has got a father. That is not difficult. Anyone who is in this material world, in material world or spiritual world, there is a father
- Everyone requires to be cured of this disease of ignorance. The disease of ignorance, means "I am this body. I am this body." I am not this body
- Everyone should be alert to treat this miserable condition of material life, tapa-traya. Tapa-traya unmulanam. One has to uproot this tree of tapa-traya. That is perfection of life
- Everyone should be expert. The leaders must be expert and the worker must be expert so that they may follow the instruction of the leader
- Everyone should be interested to inquire, athato brahma jijnasa, or tattva-jijnasa: What is the aim of life? What is the Absolute Truth? So children should be educated also from the very beginning
- Everyone should join this movement for the human welfare activities, with their life, with their money, with their intelligence, with their words
- Everyone thinks in terms, "I am this body," that's all. He is not human being, but every so-called civilized man is thinking like that. So where is the civilization of human being? All go-kharahs, animals
- Everyone wants akuto-bhayam: "I must be very safe and sound in every respect, in my social position, so far my health is concerned, anything." Everyone wants that security. But there is no security. That is called struggle for existence
- Everyone wants sense gratification, to be servant of the senses. If the senses want "Do this," he will do it. And our Movement is that we shall not hear the dictation of the senses, we shall do what Krsna says. That is just opposite
- Everyone wants to enjoy this material world according to his whims and purpose. Krsna gives facility to everyone. So that facility is given according to his desire, a particular type of body
- Everyone wants to live forever, but nature will not allow that. That's a fact. We may think very independent, but we are not independent. We are under the stringent laws of nature
- Everyone who is encaged in this material body, he's unhappy. That is the sum and substance of the whole material existence
- Everyone who will come to this Krsna consciousness will become good man, even he's a bad man. That is the influence of Krsna consciousness. Sarvair gunaih tatra samasate surah - SB 5.18.12
- Everyone with common sense can understand that, "What philosophy?" Here they see practically character, philosophy, devotion, faith, strict discipline. Any gentleman will appreciate
- Everyone's heart, Krsna is there, or the Paramatma is there. And mattah smrtir jsanam apohanam ca: and all the speculation or real understanding or forgetfulness or real knowledge, they are coming, being initiated from Him
- Everyone's point is happiness. And what is that standard of happiness, that you have to take from some authority. That authority we accept Krsna
- Everyone, especially the karmis, they think that they will live forever. This is the most wonderful thing
- Everyone, if you address each other "prabhu," that mastership mentality will be less, if you remember that - I am not master. I am servant
- Everyone, individual to individual, nation to nation, society to society, religion to religion, so-called religion - everyone is trying to become the master
- Everyone, practically, they are addicted to these sinful activities. So therefore they are mad, pramattah
- Everyone, we are in the dark well surrounded by serpents, this body. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has sung this song, sarira avidya-jal, jadendriya tahe kala. Kala means serpents, kala-sarpa
- Everything belongs to Krsna. Why you are claiming yourself, as nation or individual or community? That's not proper. Just like pickpocket and a gang, gangsters, organized rogues, thieves. It does not change the quality
- Everything can be taken away at any moment. So depend on Krsna for defending, defenses. Avasya raksibe krsna (Saranagati). This is called surrender
- Everything depends on advancement in Krsna consciousness. If Krsna is there, either you read or work as a coolie, the same thing
- Everything depends on knowledge. Without knowledge, how can we make progress? Student means to acquire knowledge. Serious student means to acquire knowledge
- Everything depends on me. I can see God. Just like I am seeing you face to face, you are seeing me face to face, similarly, you can see Krsna face to face
- Everything depends on training. That is yoga system. The whole yoga system means training - our senses, our mind, our this, that, so many things - then we are fixed up in the self
- Everything explained. Read books. Be devotee. That will bring happiness. And economically you may not be disturbed that you're poverty-stricken, you have to beg something or . . . no
- Everything is being attempted to suppress our miserable condition of life. That is going on
- Everything is being done by nature. We are simply falsely thinking, ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate. This illusion is going on
- Everything is complete. It is our mismanagement. We, the so-called civilized human beings, we have created problems
- Everything is manufactured by God. So everyone has right - not only human being; even the animals - everyone has got the right to live and use things as much as he requires
- Everything is the property of the Supreme Lord. You are falsely claiming that you are the proprietor. You are not proprietor. How you can be proprietor?
- Everything is there in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, this anatomic, physiologic, how the child is growing within the womb of his mother. One day, fifth day, and like that. In seven months how it is developed
- Everything should be dovetailed in the service of Krsna. And that is real understanding
- Everything should be learned from the standard Vedic literature, and society and other things, economic development, everything. So that is here in the Bhagavad-gita
- Everything under the direction of the spiritual master. Why you are asking? You do not know these things? Why do you ask this question? It must be, according to the direction of the spiritual master
- Everywhere authority is there. You have to accept authority. Without authority there is no, I mean to say, advancement. That is impossible
- Everywhere the government, father and society are bad, and therefore we are producing bad men, and therefore there is no peace and prosperity
- Everywhere they are very busy, karmi, but they do not know what is the aim of life. That is called karma, acting something and suffering again. This is called karma
- Everywhere, all over the world, the young boys and girls, they have no fixture where they'll live, where they'll take their bath, where they'll eat or how they have sex. No
- Everywhere, everyone is trying to become master. It doesn't matter it is a small circle or big circle. This is material disease
- Everywhere, law and order. In spiritual also. Unless there is law and order, it is chaos. Law and order must be there
- Evolution means developed consciousness, and according to the developed consciousness, one gets a particular type of body. This is nature's law
- Except human body, lower than the human body we can understand how they are suffering. Suppose a tree. Here we are sitting so comfortably. A few yards off from this place, there is a tree, and it is standing for thousands of years. Is not that punishment
- Except these so-called civilized twenty-five percent human being, other living entities have no problem for eating, sleeping, mating
- Except Your lotus feet, we have no other shelter. And so far our safetiness is concerned, we are already encircled by so many enemies, because in the fight one's father has died, so his son is preparing to fight with us. So we are not at all free now
- Expansion feature also two kinds: svamsa, vibhinnamsa, His (Krsna's) personal expansion and separated expansion. We are all separated expansion, vibhinnamsa, a small particle
- Explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta in a very simple verse, "As soon as I become servant of maya, then I shall create so many rascaldom in the name of philosophy and science." This is going on
- Explained in the Upanisads, that there are two birds in this tree, body. One is observing and other is enjoying. So the observing bird is the Paramatma, Krsna
- External energy is not affecting Krsna. The urine and stool is affecting . . . there are some worms, they are very much attracted with the stool. You see? They are also creatures of Krsna
F
- Faith may be blind, but it increases. If you stick to faith & follow the principles, then it will increase. Just like Yasya deve para bhaktih. So if you have got faith in spiritual master, then you will advance. If you have no faith, then it will be lost
- Faith we must have. Without faith, we cannot make progress. But not blind faith, but to accept something which is recognized
- Falsely think that "I am the supreme, I am controlling everything. The sun is moving under my direction, the everything, the water is, seas, I mean to say, there under my direction." This is their meditation. Impersonalists
- Fasting is recommended when a man is diseased. When he's in health, there is feasting. So spiritual world means health. Why there should be fasting?
- Father gives the seed, impregnates the mother, and the mother supplies the body. The body belongs to the mother, and the spirit soul belongs to the supreme father. But it comes through the material father
- Father is the cause of the beginning of my body or your body, everyone. So therefore He (Krsna) has no beginning - that He has no father, but He is the supreme father. That is the Christian conception: God is the supreme father
- Father wants every son to be as qualified or more qualified than the father. But it is up to the student or to the son to raise himself to that standard
- Father-mother, they are teaching daughters prostitution. This is the condition of the society. How there can be peace? And they are after peace. They are making conference - peace
- Fever subsides, that's all right. Fever has subsided. But healthy life is when he will work as a healthy man. Simply saying: "No, no more fever," no more fever, lying down on the bed, is the nirvana stage
- Fighting spirit is there; anger is there. Where He shall exhibit? And therefore Krsna incarnates, He becomes angry, and a devotee becomes enemy, and this is Krsna-lila, nitya-lila. It is going on
- Fighting was also there. The fighting also, they came out victorious. But still, it was confirmed by Yudhisthira and Krsna. Then he took over the charge of the government and he ruled the citizens, dharmena, as it was done by his predecessor forefathers
- Fighting, there is necessity; but if you misuse that fighting spirit . . . just like at the present moment the politicians, as soon as they see that they cannot manage things, and in the country there is confusion, they declare some war
- Film means there are different bodies in different position, and when they are taken at once, likes that it moves. The picture is not moving. Similarly, we are changing of the different body
- Finish this business of birth, death, old age and disease in this life. You can do that. This is our main business, not to make arrangement for eating, sleeping, mating and defending under different garb, under different pretext
- Finish this business, this life. One life let me be strict in following the discipline and regulative principles. - This is called tapasya. So "Although it is inconvenient, I must do it to solve my problems." That is firm determination drdha-vrata
- Fire is a woman, and man is just like butter pot, it is said. Therefore they should not keep together. Just like there are some labels in medicine - Keep away from fire

- Gramya-vyavahare kaha ei pandita, tai satya mani - The people, the ordinary people, common people, they say that 'You are so great scholar, so rich man, minister.' They say like that. But I know that I am fool number one. I do not know what I am
- Great loss. He (Dr. Rao) will get again good birth to become Vaisnava. There is no doubt. He was initiated. Again he will get chance

- Grow some food grains and keep some cows, take the milk, and just prepare nice foodstuff and eat. Keep Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Deity, at home, and Krsna is pleased even you simply offer little fruit and little flower
- Gunan means this world, this material world, is full of three qualities - the quality of goodness, the quality of passion, the quality of ignorance. Or mixed: three into three into nine; nine into nine equal to eighty-one
- Guru is Arjuna. Because a confidential instruction is given to Arjuna, so we accept Arjuna as guru. Or one who is following Arjuna, he is guru

- Guru Maharaja has strictly forbidden, - Don't try to imitate big personalities like Haridasa Thakura, Rupa Gosvami

- Guru must be speaking on the strength of Vedic knowledge, not manufacturing. He's a rascal
- Guru will say that, "Yes, you're right. The soul was there." How it is right? "No, in sastra." "What is that sastra?" "In Bhagavad-gita it is said, dehino 'smin yatha dehe
H
- Had I been Bhagavan, then why I have become servant of maya? Therefore we are engaged in the service of maya in so many phases and different names
- Harati means take away. He comes here just to give you benediction, to save you from all kinds of miseries. Therefore His name is Hari
- Hare Krsna and omkara, there is no difference, so far the transcendental sound vibration is concerned. But the objective is different
- Hare Krsna is transcendental sound vibration. Narottama dasa Thakura says, golokera prema-dhana, hari-nama-sankirtana. This hari-nama-sankirtana is not a cinema song. No. It is golokera prema-dhana
- Hare Krsna mantra is not ordinary sound. It is para-prakrti. Golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. Hari-nama-sankirtana is not this material sound. If you think it is material sound, you are rascal
- Hare Krsna mantra is spiritual mantra. It is not material. Therefore I've already explained, golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. It is not ordinary sound vibration, material sound vibration, radio. No. Spiritual
- Hare Krsna means when I hear the sound, the transcendental sound vibration Krsna, that means Krsna is on my tongue, on my ear
- Hare Krsna movement means one who is serious to understand this science, he's member of Hare Krsna movement. There's no question of he belongs to some group, he belongs to some . . . anyone, student

- Hari means who takes away all subjective things of fearfulness. That is Hari. He takes away all our miserable condition of life, Hari
- Hari-nama-sankirtana is not a material sound. Therefore it is effective. But if you contaminate it, it will not be effective
- Hari-sambandhi-vastunah. Vastu means substance or thing which has connection with Hari. This stone, wood, air, fire, water - five gross elements - it has connection with Krsna. Krsna says in the BG, bhumir apo 'nalo - BG 7.4
- Haridasa Thakura also went to Jagannatha Puri. But because he was born in a Muhammadan family, the priest class, they would make howling, "How this Muhammadan is entering?" So he never entered the temple

- Have you invented something that man will not die? Then it is approved. They are dying. You have given facilities to die earlier. That is atomic energy
- Having sex life with wife, there is a great ceremony which is called garbhadhana ceremony, and all the higher caste, brahmana, ksatriyas, vaisyas especially, they are to observe ten kinds of reformative process

- He (a devotee born in candala family) is not only personally becoming purified, but his parents, his father, his brother. sa kulam. Kulam means the whole family
- He (a disciple) wants to do everything for the Society. In this way he develops love of Krsna. And in the final stage he loves only Krsna and nobody else. And because Krsna includes everyone, that means he loves everyone
- He (a dog) also eats, and the human being also eats. He eats the stool and we eat very nice, palatable foodstuff. That sleeping propensity is there, sex life is there, and he is also afraid of enemies. Where is the difference
- He (a hog) will accept stool, because his body is meant for that purpose, and he will not like any palatable foodstuff. He will like that stool. This is the spell of maya
- He (a learned person) knows that it is a dog or it is a cat on account of this body. He is neither cat, neither dog, neither I am human being. We are all spirit soul, aham brahmasmi. This is real understanding
- He (a medical practitioner) was condemned to death. So after the condemnation, when he was coming out of the courtroom, I saw that he (a big lawyer, Mr. Allston) was flattering, "Don't be disappointed. I shall get you out by appeal." This is going on
- He (a neophyte devotee) can advance when by the grace of Krsna he understands, "Here is a Vaisnava. Here is an innocent man. He should be given some enlightenment." That is preacher - when he'll feel for others
- He (a nondevotee) may rise up by endeavor to a certain position as he imagined, "This is the best position." Just like we are also trying to occupy the best position - to become associate of Krsna, to live with devotees
- He (a person) does not know what is good. Real goodness is to understand God. That is real goodness
- He (a pure devotee) says - Wherever Krsna will keep me, I shall remain there. It doesn't matter whether heaven or hell. I don't care for it
- He (a true follower of the Krsna consciousness movement) is a perfect gentleman. That's all. You cannot find any fault in him. That is perfect Krsna consciousness. They are prohibited not to eat meat
- He (a Vaisnava) knows that "Everywhere I will be protected by Krsna," so he has no problem. Therefore real Vaisnava, he wants to deliver all these fallen souls from this miserable condition of life
- He (Acyutananda Swami) was so convinced that "What this rascal (Akhandananda Swami) can say to me? I know. I have heard from Krsna." This is knowledge
- He (Akhandananda Swami) is a Mayavadi sannyasi. So Acyutananda Swami went to sell some books in their camp. So his disciple requested him, "Why don't you ask some question from Swamiji?" So he said, - What I have to ask from him?
- He (Arjuna) argued, - No, no. If I fight, my people will die, and their wives will become widow, and they will be adulterated, and then, by adulteration, unwanted population will increase, and who will offer sraddha
- He (Arjuna) is perplexed, "Which one, which side will be glorious? I shall stop fighting or not fighting?" When you are in such perplexity, what to do and what not to do, so in order to get right direction, you must approach the spiritual master
- He (Arjuna) is speaking, - Even in exchange of kingdom of the three worlds, I am not prepared to fight
- He (Arjuna) said that, "Even they usurp my kingdom, I do not wish to kill them." So this affection, this bodily affection, was not very much approved by Krsna. He said that - You are talking like a non-Aryan
- He (Arjuna) was first of all judging, "If I kill my cousin-brothers, my grandfather, there will be bad result. I'll go to hell." Now, later on decided, "Hell or heaven, I don't care for it." That is called anasritah
- He (Arjuna) was thinking in terms of his own benefit, "Whether I shall go to hell or heaven." That was his contemplation. Therefore he was taught Bhagavad-gita
- He (Asvatthama) manufactured this deadly weapon. It is material. Still, it is so deadly weapon, brahmastra. He was not working in a laboratory, finding out so many chemicals to make an atomic nuclear weapon. Simply water
- He (Aurobindo Ghosh) understood that there are activities even after liberation, but he could not understand Krsna, so hard it is. Others, the so-called sannyasis, just like Ramatirtha or Vivekananda, they could not approach even, in the modern age
- He (Bilvamangala Thakura) was too much addicted to one woman, Cintamani. So his father died, and he did not marry. In your country it is called girlfriend, and in our country it is called prostitute. So he was that about that prostitute, Cintamani

- He (Britisher politician, Lord Macaulay) reported that - If you keep Indians as Indians, you'll never be able to rule over them. They must be trained up in such a way that they would think their own culture as useless
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) decided that, - Now I shall become a sannyasi." So He happened to see Kesava Bharati, a sannyasi on the Sankara sampradaya, and He requested him that "You give Me sannyasa
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) doesn't say, dharmartha-kama-moksa (SB 4.8.41). He never says. To become religious, that is nothing; but that is the beginning, because without religion, everyone is animal, cats and dog
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) has strictly forbidden, mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva-nasa: (CC Madhya 6.169) If you hear this Mayavadi speaking, then your future is doomed. You are finished
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) knows that grhastha has sex life, so He never rejected. So if you want sex life, become a grhastha. Just have a wife and live peacefully
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) preached this acintya-bhedabheda-tattva. Means that jiva, simultaneously one and different: one in quality and different in quantity. This is very reasonable. And it is confirmed in the Vedas, Upanisad
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) said, janmani janmani: "Life after life, I want to be engaged in Your devotional service." This is real characteristic, and that should be followed. So this is the essence of Vedic knowledge
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was feeling separation of Govinda, Krsna, so intensely that He was thinking one moment as twelve years. So these are mahabhava. Great transcendental ecstasy can be achieved simply by chanting this Hare Krsna mantra
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was only twenty-four years old. His lovable wife, beautiful wife, very very serving; mother, so affectionate mother; but He gave up everything, took sannyasa
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was so influential that simply by His calling, hundreds and thousands of men immediately joined to go to the Chand Kazi's house to perform kirtana. So just imagine what was His social position, so popular, leader
- He (Caitanya) quotes one verse (CC Madhya 20.106) from Naradiya Purana, that anyone who is very serious, one who is serious about knowing himself perfectly, and if he seeks in that way, then his perfection is guaranteed
- He (Canakya Pandita) was living in a cottage, not accepting any salary. And as soon as Maharaja Candragupta wanted some explanation,immediately resigned. This is the standard of persons who are born in India
- He (Darwin) does not know. He has caught up some words from this Padma Purana and tried to give his own invention. The evolution is already there
- He (God) is full of joy. So we, as part and parcel also, we are full of joy. So unless we come in contact with the Supreme, our joyfulness will never be fulfilled
- He (Guru Maharaja) never asked anybody to become acarya. He asked that, - You form a governing body of twelve men and go on preaching, and Kunja Babu may be allowed to remain manager during his lifetime
- He (Hanuman) fought with Ravana not for his personal self, but Rama wanted that, "He has kidnapped the queen of Rama. She must be delivered," and there was fighting. That is the principle

- He (Jayadeva Gosvami) writes, nindasi yajna-vidher ahaha sruti-jatam: "My dear Lord, now You have appeared as Lord Buddha. You are decrying the Vedic rituals." Sruti-jatam. Sruti-jatam means Vedic. Why
- He (Jesus Christ) is so much compassionate that, "These rascals do not know what they are doing, rascals. Still, I request You to forgive them." This is Vaisnava. Personally he is suffering, but he is still compassionate
- He (Jinnah) was neither Muslim nor Hindu. He was an intelligent barrister. His father - means not real father - his father was Parsi, and he kept one Muhammadan girl. So the Jinnah is the issue of this - Muslims against the Hindus
- He (Junior Haridasa) was living in the company of Caitanya Mahaprabhu as in renounced order of life, but he had at his heart for sex life, so immediately he was rejected. Of course, this was a great stricture. But He never rejected grhasthas
- He (Kamsa) sometimes wanted to kill Devaki; then he restrained himself that, "If I kill Devaki in pregnancy, it will be bad reputation." So he restrained himself
- He (Karna) advised that "Make her (Draupadi) naked in this assembly." To become naked in the . . . so many people, that is a great insult for woman. So actually, they tried to insult. Not tried, it was fact. But Krsna saved
- He (Kesava Kasmiri) began to pray, and Mother Sarasvati informed him that, - He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) is God, my husband. So you speak means I speak. So how can I defeat my husband
- He (Kesava Kasmiri) was also great worshiper of Mother Sarasvati. Then he began to pray to Sarasvati, - Mother Sarasvati, by your grace I have become victorious in so many places. And what is this, that I am defeated by a boy who is a grammar student
- He (King Rsabha) instructed that human society should be dhira, self-controlled. That is ideal human society. That is Vedic civilization
- He (Krsna) canvasses, "Please give Me something," as if He is in great need of it. He is not need of it. But if you hear Krsna and if you give something to Krsna, then it is for your benefit
- He (Krsna) chastised him (Arjuna), "This kind of proposal is anarya-justam. Under the non-Aryans, you're forgetting your duty." That is the beginning of loss of culture
- He (Krsna) comes that, "You surrender. Don't give Me pain. You just abide by My order. That will give Me pleasure. You will be happy." That state of consciousness, to abide by the order of Krsna, is Krsna consciousness. That's all
- He (Krsna) could force Arjuna to surrender, or anybody, because He is Supreme Lord. But that force He does not apply, because He has given us little independence
- He (Krsna) does not require anyone's service, because He's complete. There is no want. Unless He's perfect, how He can be the Supreme?
- He (Krsna) gave him (Arjuna) information that formerly, one king, by the grace of Lord Siva, he got information of a big gold mine, or gold mine mountain. So that king used to manufacture so many things of gold
- He (Krsna) has allowed us, "All right, you have come here. Try to satisfy yourself. But there are certain rules and regulation." If you break those rules and regulation, for your interest Krsna takes the measures
- He (Krsna) has described the symptoms of sadhu. By the last three, four slokas, He has described what is the symptom. Everything should be accepted by the symptom, characteristic
- He (Krsna) has explained in different ways, but the beginning is this, that this body is changing. You had a small body, baby's body. Where is that body? If I say, "Where is that body?" what you will answer?
- He (Krsna) has given little freedom, so do whatever you like. But He is simply taking the chance, "When this rascal will turn towards Me?" That is His business. That is stated in the Vedic sastra, that two birds are sitting in the same tree
- He (Krsna) has got a scheduled time also, to appear in this universe. We get information from authentic scripture. Indrari-vyakulam lokam mrdayanti yuge yuge
- He (Krsna) is acting as God; He is instructing as God; He is accepted by the acaryas as God; still, these rascals are searching out God. This is their position
- He (Krsna) is directing according to your desire - unless you surrender. There are two kinds of direction
- He (Krsna) is explaining what are the demonic characteristic. So, napi cacarah. They even do not know how to live nicely
- He (Krsna) is far million, million times or unlimited timely greater than sun. Then He is reflected in everyone's heart. That is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita: isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati - BG 18.61
- He (Krsna) is for everyone. Otherwise, how you Americans, Europeans and others outside India, how you are accepting? Because originally Krsna is your father, everyone's father. Mamaivamso jiva - BG 15.7
- He (Krsna) is giving reference to the Brahma-sutra, Vedanta-sutra. So our line is like that. Even God Himself, He can say something new? No
- He (Krsna) is guiding as friend, but He speaks directly with the living entity as soon as we are purified by devotional service. Tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-purvakam - BG 10.10
- He (Krsna) is not exposed to the nondevotees. He's simply exposed, He can reveal Himself, when one engages himself in the devotional service beginning with the tongue
- He (Krsna) is ready to give us advice from within and from without - from within as Supersoul and from without as the spiritual master. Therefore it is said, guru-krsna-krpaya bhakti-lata-bija (CC Madhya 19.151). Both things are required - guru and Krsna
- He (Krsna) is sitting in your heart, He is supplying you all necessities, He is giving you sunlight, He is giving you moonlight, He is giving you seasonal rains, fruits, flowers, grains, and you are so ungrateful that you do not acknowledge
- He (Krsna) is teaching Arjuna bhakti-yoga. Yoga means the means by which you can contact the Supreme. That is called yoga
- He (Krsna) is the origin of everything. Don't you read Bhagavad-gita? Aham sarvasya prabhavah. The atomic energy is different from sarvasya. Sarvasya means everything. Everything comes from Him. The atomic energy must come from Him. Right conclusion
- He (Krsna) is very much pleased with the devotee. Therefore, His supplies are very immediate; and the demonic supply, that will depend on his work, karma. It will depend on the karma
- He (Krsna) is within this universe. He is within your heart, within my heart. He is within everything. "Everything" means even within the atom, paramanu. That is His Paramatma feature
- He (Krsna) knows what you are wanting because He is constantly seeing you. He is sitting within your heart, the same tree, two birds
- He (Krsna) never said Arjuna that "I am your friend. I shall supply all your necessities. You don't require to work. You stop." No, He never said that
- He (Krsna) reciprocates by pretending to be dependent on me, my slave, just to give us opportunity to find the real object of our loving propensity and to take pleasure by pleasing and serving Him
- He (Krsna) says in the beginning: "I come, I descend, just to reestablish the principle of religion." Does it mean that He came to support Hindu religion, Muslim religion, Christian religion? No. He came to reestablish religion
- He (Krsna) says that, "I have got two business: paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam, dharma-samsthapanarthaya . . ." Unless these two things are there, there cannot be establishment of real law and order
- He (Krsna) says the plain truth, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). He is saying to everyone. So if we do not do - we have got little independence - then we are in this miserable condition of life
- He (Krsna) says this is duhkhalayam asasvatam, this is the place of misery. And asasvatam. You cannot make any arrangement, "All right, Sir, let it be duhkhalayam. Let me remain here." No. That also you cannot remain. You'll be kicked out
- He (Krsna) says, repeatedly, "If you enter into the highest planet of this universe, still, your repetition of birth and death will continue. But mam upetya, if you come to My planet," - Oh, there is no more rebirth. No more. You get your eternal life
- He (Krsna) showed by practical example. He is accepted by great, great sages like Narada, Vyasadeva, Devala, Asita. That is also stated when Arjuna accept Him
- He (Krsna) suggested that "I think if My devotee gives their dust of foot on My head, then I'll be cured." Then every devotee was approached that "Give your dust of feet. Krsna wants it." Even Narada
- He (Krsna) will directly speak with you. And so long you cannot, then He sends His representative, the spiritual master, the guru. You can ask through the spiritual master about Krsna. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah
- He (Lord Buddha) knew that, "These foolish men will come and give me evidence that 'Here in the Vedas animal sacrifice is recommended. Why you are preaching? Why you are preaching stoppage of animal killing?' " Therefore he completely rejected Vedas
- He (Lord Caitanya) doesn't want even mukti. Otherwise, if one is liberated, then according to Bhagavad-gita and every Vedic sastra, punar janma naiti, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). That is mukti
- He (Lord Caitanya) had His very beautiful and obedient wife, Laksmi devi, sixteen years old. She was by name Laksmi, and actually she was goddess of fortune . . . and His mother was so affectionate, there is no comparison
- He (Lord Caitanya) informed us that the Absolute Supreme Personality of Godhead can descend also in transcendental sound vibration, and thus, when you chant Hare Krsna mantra offenselessly, we immediately contact Krsna and His internal energy
- He (Lord Jesus Christ) preached to the people that "There is kingdom of God. You love God, and go to the kingdom of God." Simple truth. That is the actual business of human life
- He (Lord Jesus Christ) was threatened with death punishment. He was crucified. Still, he was convinced his relationship with God. Here is a devotee, example of devotee
- He (Lord Siva) gives more stress: aradhananam sarvesam visnor aradhanam param tasmat parataram devi tadiyanam aradhanam. - And more than Visnu worship is to worship the devotee of Visnu
- He (mayavadi sannyasi) feels inconvenience without varieties of life. The Bhagavata says, "Their intelligence is not clean." "Although they rise up to the brahma-jyotir," patanty adho tatah, - they again come back
- He (Mr. Lloyd George, British politician) was asked by somebody that, "Why you are not truthful?" So he answered that, - Truthfulness is the qualification of an ass
- He (My eldest son) could not sit down even for one minute. This is the nature. How can you stop your consciousness working? That is not possible
- He (my German Godbrother, Sadananda) told me that "In my childhood, in the First World War, the ration was controlled. Only children, we could get fat, butter." He showed his wristwatch - This quantity only, once in a week
- He (My Guru Maharaja) had so many temples all over India, and he used to say some time that, - If by selling all these properties, temples, if I could turn one man to Krsna consciousness, then my mission will be successful
- He (Narottama Das Thakura) says that - If you are anxious to go back to home, back to Godhead, and become associate with Radha and Krsna, then the best policy is to take shelter of Nityananda
- He (Narottama dasa Thakura) is liberated, but representing ourself. "My dear Lord, I am very unhappy." "So I am praying Lord Nityananda to make me happy." Rakho ranga caranera pasa - Please keep me in some corner of your red lotus feet
- He (one who becomes Krsna conscious) thinks everything is all the same. "Either you put me in the hell or heaven or this or that, it is all the same." Because he is always with Krsna, chanting Hare Krsna
- He (one yogi) showed some fiery spark coming from his jata. So the constables were hesitating to arrest him, but Bhaktivinoda Thakura ordered, "Yes, immediately arrest him. Handcuff." So he took him away, arrested
- He (ordinary criminal, thief) does not know that police is not the supreme power. The supreme power is the president or the minister of law and order. He thinks, "This constable is everything." So poor-class thinking, they think nature is everything
- He (pandita) knows that - These Americans, these Europeans, these Africans or these Indians or these cows, these dogs and the elephant, the trees, the plants, the fish - they have got different dress only, but the soul is the same
- He (Prahlada Maharaja's father) also underwent great austerities, but for material enjoyment. He wanted to live forever in this material world. So he was never interested to teach his children about Krsna consciousness
- He (Prahlada Maharaja) advises, "Give up this darkness," hitvatma-patam, "because it will kill you." In this dark well you'll be killed
- He (Prahlada Maharaja) is more than the demigod. He's so elevated, but still, he's personifying himself with the atheistic class, because he's born in that, from that father. That is humbleness
- He (Prahlada Maharaja) was born by a demon father, but his quality changed. When his mother was instructed by Narada Muni, everything was changed. If the demons cannot be changed, then where is the meaning of preaching
- He (Prahlada's father) was very powerful king, and whatever he ordered (to throw him into fire, to give him poison, to pull him from hill), his servant carried out. But he was saved in all circumstances by Krsna
- He (Prahlada) refused direct service but he wanted blessing that he may be engaged in the service of his spiritual master. This is Vaisnava conclusion
- He (Rupa Gosvami) was minister. Who can become his friend unless he is also a very big man? So Rupa Gosvami gave up their (big, big leaders, zamindars, big, big men) company
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) first of all said that - Actually, I do not know what I am, and why I am subjected to the miserable condition of life
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) inquired from Him, ke ami keno more jape tapa-traya (CC Madhya 20.102): - My dear Lord, kindly let me know who am I and why I am put into the threefold miserable condition of life
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) was handcuffed; and because he jumped he could not swim so by the waves of the Ganges he was carried away. I could not save him. "You tell the Nawab like this." So he (superintendent of jail) thought it is nice, wise advice
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) was inquiring that "Why I am forced to accept all kinds of miserable condition of life?" But, - For you there is no such thing
- He (Sanatana Goswami) has strictly forbidden. Those who are not Vaisnavas, professional, for money's sake they recite Bhagavata, any, anything. They want money
- He (Satyakam) came back and said Gautama Muni, "My mother said that she had many friends. She cannot say who is my exactly father." "Oh, you are brahmin. Come on. I will initiate you." Qualification - he said the plain truth
- He (Socrates) was going to be hanged or killed. He is fearless: "But what is this nonsense? He (judge) will kill my body, that's all." So it requires very firm knowledge
- He (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu) Himself, Krsna, and Nityananda Prabhu is immediate expansion of His personal self - Advaita Prabhu is incarnation of Krsna, or Visnu, Mahavisnu, three
- He (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu) taught personally, how to raise oneself to the topmost stage of love for Krsna. That is the ultimate aim and object of life
- He (Svarupa Damodara) has completely understood that so-called scientific knowledge is bogus, it has no solid background. Now he's writing books on this
- He (the ass) does not know what is happening. Therefore he is agreeing, "All right, load with me any number of heavy weight. I shall carry." He does not know it is suffering
- He (the king) was trained from the beginning of his life as prince. As the future heir of the throne he was trained, and at the same time, he was guided by a council of learned sages and brahmins
- He (the poor man) came back and appealed to Sanatana Gosvami that "Lord Siva told me you have got something most valuable. I don't think this stone is most valuable. Otherwise, why would you keep it with the garbage
- He (the poorest man) lives peacefully still, in the village, although he hasn't got very gorgeous dress and motorcar. But he's peaceful. You'll find still. Sometimes, about ten years ago, I was in Ahmedabad. I saw one poor man, pulling cart, hand cart
- He (the priest) said, - No, you are mistaking. Jesus Christ is Lord. He is not one of you, like worker. No. He's Lord. So if you don't appreciate him, don't worship him, then you will go to hell
- He (Vena Maharaja) is advising, "Reject religion. No more charity, no more sacrifice, no more worship. Stop all this nonsense." Then what is the condition of the society? So that is being done
- He (very big scholar) has got some scientific knowledge, but he's busy to find out a nuclear weapon, how to kill other enemies. This is the research work. No. That is demonic
- He (Vivasvan) spoke to his son, Manu. Manu spoke to his son, Iksvaku. In this way the parampara system is coming. And that is bona fide. This is our philosophy, to accept knowledge from the perfect person or his bona fide representative
- He (Vyasadeva) has explained all these books for use of the human society undoubtedly: how to become religious, how to develop economic position, how to understand what is liberation, how to satisfy restrictedly sense gratification
- He (Yamaraja) is meant for punishing. That is just like superintendent of police or something like that, big officer, inspector general of the police department or the minister in charge of law and order
- He also taught about God. Krsna consciousness means God consciousness. So why Jesus? Anyone speaks . . . but one must know. There are degrees
- He became a victim of this lusty woman, and then he lost his good character and left home and his young wife, coming of very respectable family. He forgot everything. Then, in association with this prostitute, he gradually became degenerated, degraded
- He can assume so small body. Just like Pariksit Maharaja, when he was within the womb of his mother, attacked by the atomic energy, so Krsna entered the womb of his mother and saved him. Just imagine how small He became
- He can say that, "I cannot see, on account of distant place, the planet," but you see the nearest. So you cannot see distant place things and you cannot see nearest. Then what is the value of your eyes?
- He can simply engage himself in that lusty desire for material existence. Durapurena kamena. In this connection there is a very instructive story - it is fact - that the Emperor Akbar, he enquired from his minister
- He cannot understand that after being cured from the disease, he will eat very nicely, he will lie down on the bed very nicely, he'll have no miserable condition of life. He cannot understand
- He delivered his kingdom, his everything, at last his body, and Krsna became purchased by him. And since then, Bali Maharaja is one of the twelve authorities
- He does not consider that "I am seeing under certain condition, and I am so much proud of possessing my eyes." This is called foolishness, abodha-jatah
- He does not know what is the miserable condition of life. Everyone knows that he is going to die. He has taken birth; he has become old, he has suffered diseases. Then where is the solution
- He does not know what is the power of Krsna, how much He is Yogesvara. Still, he is falsely claiming to become Krsna
- He does not think of his position, that at any moment he will be kicked out of this platform of so-called leadership, educated teacher, and he is commenting on the words of Krsna. This is going on. He does not understand his position, that - What I am
- He does not think that, "I am spoiling my blood. And if I spoil my blood more, then I shall be attacked with so many diseases, I will lose my resistance power." He does not know. But he thinks that sex enjoyment is very nice. It is not nice at all
- He falsely claims that, "I have become God now." Does it mean amanitvam? And here, Vaisnava says, gopi-bhartuh pada-kamalayor dasa-dasanudasah (CC Madhya 13.80). This is amanitvam. - I am servant of the servant
- He further did not attempt to talk with Him. He went away, and the Mother Sarasvati advised him that, "You surrender unto Him. That will be your nice role." Yes. So later on, he became a great devotee of Lord Caitanya, Kesava Kasmiri
- He gets a skyscraper building, throughout his whole life laboring. But he cannot stay there. He'll be kicked out. Is it not ass? Is he not an ass? He cannot stay there. Anitya samsare. Anitya. Because it is not the permanent settlement
- He goes to the forest and he'll think of woman and money, what is the use? By his action, it will be proved. The same way, taking rest, sleeping, and doing everything whimsically. So Krsna knows everything
- He had no more gas; he cannot supply. He became so much infuriated that he shot him dead. This is the result of this modern motorcar civilization
- He has decided to work only for Krsna consciousness; therefore his happiness is under his own control. He hasn't got to seek happiness externally. The happiness is controlled, controlled by him
- He has dedicated his life, his mind and words for Krsna, he is able to deliver himself and his family; but this man who is puffed out with false prestige, he cannot deliver himself only, and what to speak of his family
- He has got a scheme, but he has no scheme where he is going either to hell or heaven. That scheme he has forgotten. He's trying to make scheme so long this fifty years, hundred years. You see? This is going on
- He has got so many degrees and he's a rascal and he's durjana, a bad man? - "Yes." "Why?" Suppose a serpent, he has got a gem on his head. Is it not fearful? Very good example
- He has no idea what is absolute truth. He is in darkness. He does not know there is absolute world. This is the relative worlds
- He has no sense, "So why I have taken so much overload? I can get grass anywhere. Let me remain free." But he has no such sense. Neither he will be allowed. (laughs) This is ass
- He has to change only; instead of becoming servant of maya, be servant of Krsna. Servant he is. Where he'll go? How he will become master
- He hasn't got to go to church, to temple, or to go to hell or heaven. In whatever condition he is, he can chant holy name of God. But they're so unfortunate, they won't accept this theory
- He hasn't got to work. Because people are very much perplexed how to get shelter, how to get food. But he has got the chance. He hasn't got to endeavor for food and shelter and other necessities of the body
- He is calculating in that way, "Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." But Atlantic Ocean is beyond his conception. So these are all Dr. Frog's philosophy. Yes. And the so-called philosophers, they are Dr. Frog
- He is coming personally and He's saying, - I am the proprietor, I am the enjoyer, and I am everyone's friend. If you want to be delivered from this miserable condition of material life, I am your best friend
- He is conditioned by the mind, and he is thinking "independent." Mudha. Therefore mudha. Tri-gunamayair bhavaih mohitah. He is illusioned by the three modes of material nature, and he does not know Krsna, and he is thinking - independent
- He is equal to the devotee and nondevotee. Whatever the nondevotees want, Krsna supplies. And whatever the devotees want, Krsna supplies
- He is forced to accept a certain kind of body by the material nature. That he does not know. This is non-Aryan. Like dog: he does not know that why he has got this dog's body. He simply has learned how to bark, that's all
- He is given the chance, "All right, go to the material world and become a master." But that is a falldown. So he's trying struggle for existence, and everyone is trying to become master
- He is himself a poor man. But he has no knowledge to understand it. Why he is falling down from the skyscraper and killing himself? Why? A poor man commits suicide. So if he is committing suicide, he is a poor man. He falsely thinking that he is rich man
- He is not a scholar. He's a rascal. We have to follow the acaryas. The acaryas never said. There are so many acaryas. They never say
- He is not fifth-class man. He may be born in a fifth-class family, but he is not fifth class. Just like Prahlada Maharaja. Prahlada Maharaja, directly his father is a great demon, but he is not demon
- He is not making any eternal arrangement - I shall live here for fifty years or sixty years as an American or as an Indian. Make me gorgeous arrangement, defense and so on, so on, so on
- He is such a big man that he goes above the acaryas. Ati-buddhi galaya dekhe. "If one is overintelligent, hang him." That is a Bengali saying
- He is suffering in this material world, changing in different types of bodies, one after another, and the propensity to lord it over the material world is going on
- He is thinking that "I am independent. I can do what ever I like," ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham (BG 3.27). We have to give up this. Then vipascit, sahasa vipascit. Otherwise we have to continue the miserable condition of life
- He is thinking, "I am independent," barking, attacking somebody. Oh, he is thinking he is free to do everything. When one comes to this sense, that he is not free, that is beginning of human life
- He is thinking, "This is a combination of this matter - earth, water, air, fire. So when it will be broken, then everything will be finished. So, so long I have got this opportunity, let me enjoy to the fullest extent." This is called material mentality
- He is very educated. - Mayayapahrta-jnana. He is so-called educated. Actually, he is not educated, because he does not know what is God
- He is without any duality, but the Absolute Truth is known as in three features: by somebody as Brahman, by somebody as Paramatma and somebody as Bhagavan. - Actually, He is Bhagavan. Paramatma is His universal feature
- He Janardana, You are maintainer of the people. So if the people become sinful, so it is very difficult to maintain them. - These things are being considered
- He may be an American, he may be an Indian, he may be Christian, he may be Jew, he may be Hindu or Muhammadan. Doesn't matter. He's a practiced medical practitioner, so he's a qualified man. I have gone there for my treatment
- He may be in the form of a man, but if he has not heard about Krsna, if he has not given aural reception to krsna-katha, then he is pasu, animal. And what kind of animal? Dog, hog, camel, asses
- He may be, in the calculation of academic education, he may be B.A., M.A., Ph.D., D.A.C., or something like, doctors but if he has got his identification with this body, he's not a learned man according to Bhagavad-gita
- He may say-he's a rascal, he can say so many nonsense. That is not the standard
- He may think that "Oh, here is a starving man. I must give him some food." But you are liable to be punished. So first of all learn how to do good to others. So that is described here. Tasyaiva hetoh prayateta kovido - SB 1.5.18
- He must be conscious that - I do not want all these things, miserable condition of life, and they are enforced upon me. I cannot check them; they are coming. No, there must be somebody superior whose law is being forced
- He must be trained, by our example, by our teaching, by our work. Santa yam cinvanti kutih. By word, by example, he should be corrected
- He must be very serious: "Yes, if there is God... We have seen, we have been informed about God. So I must see." There is a story in this connection. It is very instructive; try to hear
- He must have some companion, but he doesn't want family, the botheration of family. Then dog is the best friend. What can be done? This is going on, and it will increase more and more, more and more
- He promised before his spiritual master, before the Deity, before the fire, "No illicit sex," but he's having illicit sex. So how he is advanced? He's not even truthful, the first qualification. He's unclean
- He promised that He would not fight, but Bhisma promised that either He should fight or His friend would die. So therefore He prepared to fight
- He satisfies His fighting spirit - at the same time, He protects the devotees and protects that enemy also by killing him. Because when a demon is killed by the by the Supreme Lord, he is at once liberated
- He thinks that "By killing this body, I am free from this bodily miserable condition of life." No. He's immediately . . . either he has to accept a next abominable body or he'll have to become a ghost, one who commits suicide
- He thinks that, "I am body," deha. And because from this body, I have got relationship with my wife, "Oh, she is my great friend," and the children, - They are my soldiers. They will protect me
- He thinks, oh, that "I shall live forever. Therefore let me do whatever I like. There is no question of responsibility." Oh, this is very risky life. And this is the most covering part of illusion
- He thought something rascaldom, and he is expressing that. Therefore he is more rascal. These things are going on. As soon as he reads some books, he becomes an acarya, whatever rascal he may be
- He wanted to exhibit such fighting spirit, so who will fight with Him? Ordinary living being cannot fight with the Supreme Lord. Therefore some of His devotees, some of His associates, must fight with Him
- He was surprised, and he said, "Tell Krsna that four-headed Brahma." Brahma has four head. So Krsna called him, - All right, come on
- He will die and others will die. So what is this meaning of this responsibility? Even if you take as very responsible man, you cannot do anything. That is not possible. You cannot save
- He will go on, go on killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing. He is never satisfied, "Now I have killed so many. No more. Stop." No, there is no stoppage. That will go on
- He will starve to death, but he will not accept. You see? He will think, "Oh, I am born in a brahmin family. How can I wash your dishes?" This is false prestige
- He would have lived for, say, sixty years, and you drop atom bomb - in ten years or twenty years, finished. You cannot increase the duration of life. Therefore the so-called scientific advancement, Duskrtinah: no benefit for the human society
- He'll falsely think that, "I am God." Yogis, if they can show some mystic yogic power, then naturally foolish people will think him that, "Oh, here is God." And he's satisfied with that
- He'll sit down whole day and night and chant Hare Krsna. No business. No endeavor for food. If food comes by God's grace, they (Six Gosvamis) will eat; otherwise no, they'll not go anywhere. Completely dependent, - If God gives, then I shall eat
- He's (Hitler) advertised very adversely, but if it is a true fact, then how he could have this human consideration that he did not throw the nuclear weapon. And this was taken by the Americans and it was thrown in Japan
- He's (the brahmin) simply thinking of the activities of Krsna and Arjuna. That's all. That is perfect reading of Bhagavad-gita. It does not require to read Bhagavad-gita by your academic education
- He's already an ass because he's part and parcel of Krsna, and he has come to this material world to enjoy. That is ass mentality. There is no enjoyment. So he's already an ass
- He's not seeking after where is eternal happiness. Temporarily, he's seeking here, seeking there. Bhutva bhutva praliyate. In this way his life is finished, seeking ananda, and he gets another body, another term
- He's required to read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly. It is said clearly, "This is a place of misery." Why do you desire to keep yourself in this? That means you do not understand what is spiritual life
- He's so much indebted to the gopis that He said that "I cannot repay your debts. It is not possible." Krsna, the all-powerful, all opulences, but He had no means to repay the debts of the gopis. This is the position of the gopis
- He's thinking in the human form of sex in a very nice apartment, so many, so many, decorated, it will change the quality of the sex between dogs and dogs. No, that will not change. The same taste
- He's thinking, "The dog's life is very nice, this liberation of sex life on the street." - All right, you take dog's body
- He's trying to be happy, but they do not know what is eternal happiness. We're also trying for happiness, but our aim is eternal happiness
- Here (in America) even one problem, in another country, another problem, another problem, another problem. He must be problematic. Because anyone who is not Krsna conscious, he must be punished by the laws of nature
- Here are scriptures who are telling, speaking about God. If you have no faith in scripture, there is no other process to know God
- Here Bhagavan comes personally, He leaves His instruction, He's accepted by the acaryas, and our young men have become so much advanced in education that they're asking what is God
- Here everyone is trying to become master, and everyone wants to avoid service. But by the nature's law, one has to become servant and render service, going on
- Here in Hawaii we see that children and elderly person also, the whole day and night simply jumping in the sea. Someone is swimming, somebody is doing something else, how they're wasting time. But they have taken, - This is civilization
- Here in this human form of body is a chance. Lower than this human form of life you cannot understand self, atma-tattva. It is not possible
- Here in this material world he is actually the small particle of God, but there is disagreement. He is falsely thinking that "I am as good as God." This is material life. When we are free from this wrong conception of life, that is liberation
- Here in this material world, love is 99.9% all frustration, because the love is not reposed to the proper place. The proper place is Krsna. If we love Krsna, then we can love everyone
- Here in this material world, the calculation of friend and enemy, everything, is in the relationship with this body, or sense gratification. But realization of God or the Absolute Truth, there is no such material consideration
- Here is a dog, a street dog, and here is a learned brahmana. But one who is pandita, one who is Krsna conscious, he sees that the pandita and the dog, they are the same, because they are also the same spiritual spark
- Here is a guest. He (Bilvamangala) wants to embrace you and kiss you. So please decorate yourself nicely so that he may enjoy. - So the wife also followed the instruction of the husband, because wife's duty is to follow the instruction
- Here is a nice thing, Krsna consciousness. Why should you not distribute? Especially in your country, where there is great need for it. They are not after economic development
- Here is Bhagavad-gita. You follow the direction, you will understand what is God, what you are, what is this world, what is our relation between ourself, what is our condition, how we can get out of this miserable condition. Everything you will find
- Here is child. You cannot check to become young man. That is not in your power. She must become or he must become
- Here is Lord Caitanya's order. Whether we do understand or not understand, if we simply submissively give aural reception to these messages of Krsna, then gradually we shall understand the whole philosophy and science of KC. This is the summary
- Here is parampara. Now, if we follow the footsteps of Arjuna, and we should surrender like that
- Here is said, so 'ham rathi nrpatayo yata anamanti: "I am the same Arjuna, great fighter. People were offering their obeisances to me, 'O Arjuna, you are great friend of Krsna. You are great warrior.' Now nobody cares." How it has vanquished
- Here is the authoritative statement, that you have to practice like this. First of all you have to select your place, holy place, alone, and special seat. Then you have to sit straight like this
- Here is the real understanding, that: Whether you are prepared to act according to the direction of Krsna, then your life is successful. Otherwise you are in darkness
- Here it is also said, bhaktya. What kind of bhakti? Bhaktya sruta-grhitaya. Sruta, by hearing sruti, or Vedas. Completely on the basis of Vedic knowledge, that bhakti; not sentimental
- Here it is authoritative statement that no one can become a yogi unless he renounces the desire for sense gratification. This is the first condition
- Here it is recommended that "Srimad-Bhagavatam is the essence of all Vedic literature, and it was first spoken by Sukadeva Gosvami." The Vedic literature is full of knowledge. That I have described. And the essence of Vedic literature is Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Here it is said, grhe niraya-vartmani baddha-trsnan. And why they are staying in that blind well? Baddha-trsnan: conditioned by material desires
- Here it is the real purpose of human life: vasudeva-para veda vasudeva-para makhah, vasudeva-para yogah. There are so many yogis. I can clearly say that without Vasudeva, yoga - simply pressing the nose, that's all - this is not yoga
- Here Krsna is addressing Arjuna, anarya: non-Aryan. - You are ksatriya. Your service is now required to fight with persons who have created injustice. So what is this, that you are denying to fight
- Here sun is an insignificant part, creation, of the Lord. And the sun has got so much effulgence, bodily rays, that it is illuminating and heating the whole universe. You cannot deny it. This is the position of the sun
- Here the business is to satisfy Krsna, and the other houses, the business is to satisfy one's own senses. That is the difference between kama and prema
- Here the first thing is recommended, satyam, truthfulness. Satyam param dhimahi (SB 1.1.1). And the biggest politician says: "This is the qualification of an ass." Just see how much opportunity we have got to make spiritual progress
- Here the jnanis have got a very nice body, brahminical body, pure, cleansed and beautiful, knowledge. The higher development, they can go still up, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka, Siddhaloka, Brahmaloka
- Here the struggle is that everyone is trying to become isvara. Nobody wants to become servant, although he is servant of maya
- Here we are director of such and such, president of United States, but I am not supreme controller. As soon as the public wants, immediately pulls me down. That we do not understand
- Here we find love between mother & son, love between wife & husband, love between master & servant, love between friends & friend, love between the master & the dog or the cat or the cow. Same thing. These are only reflection of the spiritual world
- Here we get authoritative statement of Prahlada Maharaja. He is one of the mahajana. Our process is mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). We have to follow the footsteps of great personalities
- Here we make such relationship - mother, father, son, daughter, relative. Actually this is material nature made, in different bodies. Otherwise, real father is Krsna
- Here we see, persons who are in religious order, they're also addicted to these four sinful life. And he's presenting himself as religious
- Here, in every step there is danger. Why shall you live here? Take this boat and go, cross the material ocean, and go back to home, back to Godhead. This is the philosophy
- Here, just like when we become intoxicated, we become addicted to so many sinful actions, it is soma-pah. When we drink soma-rasa, it is just the opposite. We become freed from all sinful reaction
- Here, there is no ananda. Why there is ananda? This body is subjected to so many miserable condition of life. We become hungry, we become thirsty, there is death, there is fearfulness, there is enemy - so many things
- Higher caste means they must be twice-born. How is that? One birth is father and mother, real father and mother, and the next birth is spiritual master and the Vedas
- Higher planetary system begins from the sun, moon, and there are others, Janaloka, Tapoloka, Maharloka, like that, up to Satyaloka, Brahmaloka. So this is the chance
- Highly developed consciousness means he's a devotee
- Highly theological literature is Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is the natural commentary on the Vedanta-sutra
- Himalaya and other things - far beyond their limitation. That I have already explained. He's speaking within his limitation. Our position should be, correctly represent what is described in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Hina means without. And bala means strength. So sastra says, nayam atma bala-hinena labhyah - One who is less strong, or one who has no support of the strength, then he cannot make any progress in spiritual self-realization
- Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, this, that or white, black, so many ways, according to the designation of the body you have created dharma, or characteristics. That is inferior quality
- Hiranyakasipu tried to live forever. He underwent severe penances to become immortal. It was not possible
- Hiranyakasipu wanted to live forever, and he underwent severe austerities. The so-called scientists are also saying that, "By scientific method we shall stop death." This is also another crazy utterances. That is not possible
- Hiranyakasipu was chastising him (Prahlada Maharaja) in so many ways. But he was not afraid at all, fearless, because he was convinced that "I am not this body. I am different from body." "I will not die." It is simply knowledge, firm knowledge
- Hiranyakasipu was one of the stalwart materialistic, and he wanted to live forever, enjoy, but he also could not live. Everything was finished
- His (a man who's earning millions of dollars) power of eating is the same with the man, one who is earning ten dollars. So he does not think that, - My enjoyment of life is the same amount with the man who is earning ten dollars
- His (Absolute Personality of Godhead) energies are multi, multifarious, various kinds of energy. - And the energies are working so nicely as if, natural gift, knowledge, art, sva bala-kriya, and strength
- His (Buddha's) philosophy is this present condition, is a combination of matter. So you dismantle the matter by meditation. You disperse the matter
- His (Caitanya Mahaprabhu's) mission is that anyone who has taken birth in India, he first of all make his life successful and spread this knowledge for welfare activities of the whole human society. This is required
- His (Dhruva Maharaja's) real mother advised him, "If God gives you, then you can get. Otherwise it is not possible." So he went to the forest. He inquired from his mother, - Where is God? I shall go there
- His (Krsna's) body is distinct from our body. Our this body is not eternal within the history. When this body is created by the father and mother, there is a date, beginning. And when this body is finished, annihilated, there is another date
- His (Krsna's) name in Dina-bandhu. Who is very, very poor in heart, He becomes very great friend, dina-bandhu, and advises him. Buddhi-yogam dadami tam
- His (Krsna's) name is anumanta. Without His sanction, you cannot have anything. Just like I am moving this hand. It is by His sanction. As soon as He stops His sanction, immediately paralyzed
- His (Krsna's) urine is also good. That is a different thing. If this is an argument that, "Because Krsna is good, He should not pass urine and stool," that is no argument
- His (Lord Siva) wife so powerful that she creates, maintains and annihilates the universe, but she remains as very obedient, submissive wife of Lord Siva
- His (Raghunatha dasa Gosvami's) father was saying that - I have already handcuffed him with such beautiful wife and such beautiful residence, and he has opened this. Now what this material handcuff will do?
- His brother was so faithful that so long His eldest brother was away, Ramacandra requested him that, - Your mother wants that you should be king, and I also wish that in My absence you should be king
- His complexion is like black cloud but very, very beautiful. He is so beautiful that more attractive than many, many hundreds and thousands of Cupid. This is the Govinda's description. There are so many description. So this is spiritual varieties
- His condition is diseased, therefore, he actually cannot enjoy the sweetness of sugar candy. But when he is cured, a man in healthy state, if you give him sugar candy, oh, he will say, he will appreciate, - Oh, it is very sweet, very nice
- His father was engaged in austerity, and because he (the brahmin boy) born of such powerful father, he had also the power, austerity, & srutaujas. Srutauja means "by education." If one man is educated, highly educated, talented scholar, he has got power
- His forefather, his grandfather, lived for, say, hundred years. His father lived for eighty years. And he's going to live for sixty years. In this way, the duration of life will be reduced up to twenty years. That is already foretold
- His personal expansion, is catur-vyuha. The first expansion is catur-vyuha. Svayam rupa, svayam prakasa. Svayam rupa, the personal self, Krsna. And when He begins to expand, the next immediate expansion is Balarama, Baladeva
- His preaching mission was aradhyo bhagavan vrajesa-tanaya (Caitanya-manjusa), Krsna. Krsna is the only worshipable object. And He was always chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. This is the first symptom of Lord Caitanya
- How a man is going to heaven or hell, one can understand from the direction of the scriptures, just like you can understand how a man is going to be punished or rewarded within this material world
- How big it (Atlantic Ocean) is? - "Very, very big." So the Dr. Frog is thinking, "Maybe four feet. This well is three feet. It may be four feet. All right, five feet. Come on, ten feet." So in this way, speculating
- How can I (engineer) take charge of your family? Now I have created (a building for your family). You have paid me. That's all. - So maintenance cannot be taken by anyone except by God
- How can I be God? If I am God, then why I have lost my godly qualities? Or why my godly qualities are now covered? This is very common sense. The godly qualities are there
- How can one expect to be reformed if he does not agree or like to be reformed. To be reformed, he must agree to the reforming process
- How can you cheat Krsna by so-called forest-going? Because your enemy, your senses, have gone with you. So how you can get out by going to the forest? Because your real enemies are your senses
- How do we know that, "This man is in the modes of goodness and this man is in the modes of passion and this man is in the modes of ignorance"? How do we know? By the symptoms
- How do you know that, "Here is a medical practitioner"? Before going for treatment, you find out. How do you find out
- How God can withdraw the independence He has given to you? That He will not withdraw. It is up to you to use your independence properly. That proper use of independence is to surrender
- How guru says? Not guru is manufacturing. Guru says on the strength of sastra. Therefore sadhu-guru-sastra, three things must be there
- How he is greater than everyone and nobody is equal to Him - everyone is subordinate, everyone is creation of Him - If you understand these factors of the greatness of God perfectly well, then you become fit for being transferred to the spiritual world
- How I am eating something, how it is being turned into some secretion, it is going to the heart, it is becoming red and it is again distributed through the nerves and veins - I do not know anything. I can simply theorize
- How I am eternal? - There is proof. And who is giving the proof? Krsna, bhagavan uvaca. The highest authority, not ordinary person or any living being - Krsna. Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam - SB 1.3.28
- How I become a guru? - Yare dekha tare kaha krsna upadesa (CC Madhya 7.128): "Very simple thing. You instruct only what is instructed by Krsna. That's all." Don't invent. Don't become overintelligent. Remain a poor fool
- How is that, that You (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) can repeat? How is that? - Oh, that is grace of Mother Sarasvati. Just like you (Kesava Kasmiri) can compose a hundred verses within a few minutes, I can, whatever you say, I can remember immediately
- How it (civilization) is misdirected? Suppose if I do not love God - if I love my wife, my children, my countrymen - what is the wrong there? Oh, there is great wrong. That you do not know. That is most unscientific
- How it (love for Krsna) is awakened? If you simply give your aural reception to the krsna-katha. Krsna-katha means what is spoken by Krsna, the Bhagavad-gita, and krsna-katha means speeches and words which are spoken about Krsna
- How it is possible that jihvadau, beginning from the tongue? This is chanting Hare Krsna mantra. Jihvadau, chant Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Very easy
- How it will be perceived by the indriyas? Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. By service. And wherefrom the service begins? It begins jihvadau, beginning with the tongue. This is the service
- How Krsna is advising that sarva-dharman parityajya, (BG 18.66) "You give up all religious system?" He came - dharma-samsthapanarthaya. He came to reestablish the principles of religion
- How many men can actually practice yoga? It is all farce. This is possible. Even a child can take part, Hare Krsna mantra
- How much a young man may have propensities for enjoying this material way of life! And when there is facilities. But how they have taken to it? This is the proof

- If a man is thrown into this dark well as he is in this precarious condition of life, similarly, anyone who is in the material world, he is put into the dark well
- If a material president, insignificant, is always surrounded by his associates, so the Supreme Being, how He is associated with His surroundings, you can just imagine. He cannot be alone. That is Krsna
- If actually they are after something reality, they must accept. It is natural. They have been disgusted with this Christianity. Useless, that's all. But if they are actually serious, then they'll accept knowledge
- If actually we get Krsna, then we shall not consider any other profit more valuable than Krsna
- If any man had any money, he would spend it for Krsna, not for his personal self. Personally he would be satisfied with a cottage. That is India's civilization
- If any man wants to become rich man, he has to first of all accept unhappiness, to work very hard, day and night. Then he can get some money
- If any Vaisnava is writing song about Krishna, that should be from one who himself has realized Krishna, just like our great saints and acharyas like Madhyacarya, Ramanujacarya, Rupa Gosvami, six Gosvamis
- If anyone depends on the master's mercy, he's a sudra. Here in Delhi, New Delhi, these big, big buildings, big, big officers, as soon as the government will fail, they will be street dogs, that's all
- If anyone is accepting God as the ultimate goal of religious process, that is also Vedic. Because Krsna says that vedais ca sarvair aham (BG 15.15). And a godless scripture, that is not accepted as religion
- If anyone is reestablished in his original, constitutional position as part and parcel of the Supreme and engages his energy in that way, he is liberated. This is the definition of liberation
- If anyone is serious about attaining eternal happiness . . . just like this patient in the hospital is following the physician's instruction - he has to follow it, voluntarily. This is called austerity
- If anyone observes these four principles, he is considered a good man, and if he does not observe them, he is a bad man. So good men will take to this Krsna consciousness movement, and bad men will not
- If anyone poses himself to be a very good scholar of Bhagavad-gita, he interprets in his own way, he misleads himself and misleads others also. This is the position
- If anyone takes to Krsna consciousness, maya has to give him up. Maya cannot control anymore. That is not the jurisdiction of maya
- If anyone wants to be expert in Krsna consciousness to fight with maya, they must follow the principles of Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami
- If anyone wants to understand on the basis of philosophy and science, oh, we have got ample philosophy and science on this point. But if you accept it, then it is the same thing
- If anyone, either animal or man has his belly filled up with sufficient food, he'll never be dissatisfied. That is the nature. So unfortunately we are not following the instruction of Bhagavad-gita

- If by so-called scientific knowledge they want to defy God, then they are mudha, naradhama, useless
- If God can provide food and shelter for cats and dogs, do you think God will not provide food and shelter for His confidential devotee? Is God so blind or ingratitude or unable
- If God eats, then why don't you offer Him to eat? Where is the harm? Huh? What is the harm? If your little fruits and flowers offered to God, He accepts it, why don't you offer it
- If God has given you so many basic things, then you can use your intelligence
- If God wants us to stop fight, then we shall not fight. Because we are surrendered to God, so whatever God orders, we have to do it. That's all
- If he (a jnani) persists to understand what is the Absolute Truth by his jnana method, by his speculative method, then still he will have to change many, many births
- If he (a Mayavadi) is not Krsna conscious, he may rise up to that position by endeavor. Then he will fall down. I have given this example, Nixon & Indira. This is factual. To come to take the post of prime minister, to become the president is not easy job
- If he acts individually then he will never be happy. But if you act Krsna consciously, then you will be happy. That is the whole instruction of Bhagavad-gita
- If he actually becomes wise, jnanavan, then he understands that only Krsna is everything. Vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma sudurlabhah (BG 7.19). That is real understanding
- If he becomes like cats and dogs, then he cannot attain this daivi sampat. If there is rules and regulation, restriction following, then gradually he will come to the platform of daivi sampat
- If he fails to find out a good master, then he's street dog. Dog's life is good, provided he gets a good master. So therefore we have decided to become dog of Krsna, the best master
- If he gives up one master, he must accept another master. May be better master, but master he has to accept. Just like dog. Without accepting a master, it is street dog. It has no position
- If he goes to the sea, he'll see Krsna. If you are thoughtful, you'll see, "Why such a big sea cannot touch my feet?" I am walking on the beach. There is order. There is order, "You cannot come beyond this limit
- If he has no connection with Nityananda and if he does not come to the Krsna consciousness, his vidya, or his so-called academic education, and kula, and birth in high family or great nation, will not protect him, because nature's law will act
- If he is in the association of passion, he is materially busy. And if he associates with the quality of ignorance, he becomes animals or animals-like man
- If he is Krsna conscious strictly - he does not deviate, he does not forget Krsna - then he is to be accepted as sadhu. Krsna says. That, only for that qualification. Bhajate mam ananya-bhak. That is the qualification of Krsna consciousness movement
- If he marries, why he should not take responsibility for maintaining? Why he should marry if he has no power of maintaining?
- If he remains satisfied with the miseries of this material life, then he's no better than the cats and dogs. Sa eva go-kharah (SB 10.84.13). So this is intelligence, to inquire about the miserable condition of life
- If He reveals Himself by His causeless mercy, being merciful upon you, being pleased upon you, then you can understand Krsna. You cannot search out Krsna. That is not possible
- If he says: "I don't believe it," that is his foolishness. Similarly, a thing which is beyond our conception, beyond our limit of knowledge, that should be taken from the authority
- If he sees that he is a medical practitioner, he has passed the M.D. examination and that he is practicing then people accept him as doctor, medical man. Nobody asks him, - Are you a brahmin? Then I make my treatment with you
- If he takes prasadam not as ordinary prasadam, foodstuff, he believes that "This is remnants of foodstuffs given to God," if he understands this philosophy, then guaranteed - becoming a devotee
- If he takes the prasadam as ordinary food, "All right, these people are distributing, prasadam let me take it. It is very tasteful," that will give him chance to accept prasadam
- If he understands that he's spirit soul, at least, then he becomes brahmana. Etad viditya. And one who does not understand, he is krpana. Krpana means miser. Brahmana means liberal. These are the sastric injunction
- If he's kept in darkness about that divya-jnana, simply if he is trained up how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sex and to defend, then life will be lost. That is a great loss
- If he's not clean, if he has, he does not know how to behave, it is difficult. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu is still more kind, that - Never mind whatever you are. Chant Hare Krsna and you become purified
- If here is not Krsna, then all the acaryas, they installed Deity in so many millions of temples, they're all fools and rascals? They ask us to worship some stone and wood? No
- If I (Krsna) do not set examples in this way, then the whole population of the world will be contaminated, and there will be unwanted population and the whole world will appear just like hell. It will not be inhabitable for good men
- If I am bigger, I control my office, or my factory, I control the country, I become president. In this way, controller, bigger controller, bigger controller, you go to the Brahma, the controller of the universe. But he is also not Supreme Controller
- If I am creator of something, so I cannot be under that particular thing which is created. It is logical. So therefore, because the Supreme Brahman, or Bhagavan, is the creator of this material nature, He cannot be under the control of maya
- If I am eternal, whether it is possible to get an eternal body? Or eternal happiness? That is the problem of human society
- If I am following the dictation of my senses, then I am not the master of the senses; I am the servant of the senses
- If I am fully convinced that I am not this body, then if there is some injury or some disease or some mishap in the body, I am not concerned because I know that I am not this body. That is self-realization
- If I am great philosopher, scientist - everything - if I do not engage all these qualifications to Krsna's service, then I shall naturally become falsely proud, and that is the cause of my falldown. I will never be able to approach God
- If I am in darkness, I do not understand in what condition I am living, this is conditional life. That's . . . everyone can understand. That Sanatana Gosvami understood. And we should follow the footprints of Sanatana Gosvami
- If I am nitya, eternal, then I should be interested in eternal happiness. But the eternal happiness is not possible to enjoy by this body
- If I am one with the Supreme, how I have fallen in this condition? No. I am not one. I am one in quality, small particle
- If I am servant of the senses, how I can become gosvami, how I can become svami? That is false, hypocrisy
- If I am servant, then I have to serve. So why shall I serve the senses' dictation? I will serve Krsna, what He says." So he's self-realized immediately, within a second
- If I associate with persons who are addicted to sense gratification, then that is also very dangerous. Because sangat sanjayate kamah - my desires and my propensities will develop according to the association I make. A man is known by his company
- If I become victim of the dictation of the senses, then I cannot make progress in my spiritual life; I am third-class, fourth-class man. Mind wants to steal something. If you can control, "No, why stealing?" Then you are master
- If I carry your message and educate people in that way, then there is no difficulty for me. Everything is there. Why shall I go to manufacture something imperfect? The perfect thing is already there. Simply I have to carry
- If I created my mind as an ordinary karmi, then I will have to stay within this material world to enjoy the type of mentality which I have created
- If I do not mistake, sometimes Jesus Christ is accepted as the father and sometimes as son. Because in the material world there is such distinction, master and servant, father and son, lower or higher
- If I don't take education and enlightenment how to become religious, I do not know how to distinguish between right and wrong, then yatha pasu - then I am as good as animal
- If I endeavor to understand what is Absolute Truth, my means of understanding are the senses. But the senses are imperfect. Therefore whatever knowledge I gather by exertion of these senses, that is imperfect. That is not perfect
- If I get facility for pushing on my missionary work, there is no harm in getting married
- If I go away from the within the body, then there is no more seeking after happiness. Either you throw it on the street or it is in extreme cold or extreme heat, it doesn't matter. Then who is seeking happiness? That they do not know
- If I go away from this body, who seeks for the happiness of this body? This common reason they have no sense. Why I am seeking happiness
- If I say to a dog, "Mr. Dog, you are not this body; you are soul," what he will understand? The same position of the so-called human society
- If I say to my father, "Father, this son is stupid. He does not bring any service. So please allow me to cut his head," the father will never agree. The father, either a stupid son or very intelligent son, he is kind to everyone, because they are sons
- If I simply carry the message of Krsna, where is the difficulty? Everything is there. Krsna has said everything. Krsna says, man-mana mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). We carry this message
- If I submit, "Yes, the force is there," then where is my knowledge? I do not wish to die. So why death is forced upon me? Nobody wants miserable condition of life, but miserable condition of life is enforced upon me
- If I take the process, how to get out of this cycle of birth and death, then our human life is successful. This is Krsna consciousness movement
- If I want to become a tiger, God will give me all the facilities to become a tiger. He will give me facilities, paws and nails and teeth, so that immediately I can capture any animal
- If in Jerusalem, if they have eaten flesh, so that is not their fault. Jesus Christ might have allowed: "All right." But why in other places, where there are so many nice foodstuff? What is the reason
- If in the inferior quality, matter, it is possible, how much it is possible in the superior quality
- If it (stool) becomes too much blocked, if it is not possible to be cleared, then the modern medical science, they cut the abdomen and cut the part and clear it, and again stitch it. That is appendicitis, so far I know
- If it is a fact that by studying Vedas one has to understand Krsna, vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah (BG 15.15), so Krsna is explaining Himself, what He is. So therefore it (Bhagavad-gita) is essence of Vedic knowledge
- If it is accepted by the great acaryas that He's God then there is no doubt. If Krsna is accepted God, by all the acaryas, bona fide acaryas, authorities
- If it is actually evolutionary, then why there is dharmasya glanir? Tadatmanam srjamy aham: "As soon as there is discrepancies in the discharge of real duties, I appear." So it is natural
- If kama-haitukam, lusty desire, is the only cause for birth, production, then why there is one production street dog, cat or pig or a worm in the stool, and why one is born as demigod, as Indra or Candra, Varuna? Why? A Brahma? Who makes this arrangement
- If Krsna can make weightless so many heavy planets, is it very difficult for Him to make the Govardhana Hill weightless?
- If Krsna has been accepted as the supreme authority by so many big, big men, why should we not keep our faith in Krsna? Or Jesus Christ? That's all right
- If Krsna has created this external energy, that is for His satisfaction. That's all. But why should you take?
- If Krsna has nothing to do, then - I am also part and parcel - I will also have nothing to do. Everything will be there, present. But that is our real constitutional position. We don't require to work
- If Krsna shows you the virat-rupa, then you cannot serve Him. Where you'll get the dress of the virat-rupa? The whole world's cloth factory will fail you
- If Krsna wants to kill you, who can save you? Nobody can save you. And if Krsna wants to protect you, who can kill you?" This is philosophy, abhayam

- If nice children are there in the society, they will become responsible men. Then there will be no disturbance in the society. Everything will go on smoothly
- If not animals, they are all sudras; nobody brahmana, nobody ksatriya, nobody vaisya. So it is a chaotic condition of the human society. Therefore it cannot be revived to the original position of systematic institutional position
- If one argues how it is that in one place it is said that the stool of the animal is impure and another place it is said that the cow dung, which is also the stool of an animal, it is pure, so it is contradictory
- If one becomes a devotee, ahaituky apratihata, such devotional service can never be checked. It is not conditional, "If I am very learned, then I can read Vedanta philosophy, then I can understand what is the Absolute Truth." So that is checked
- If one becomes falsely proud, then where is his spiritual qualification? Everything is lost, everything gone - immediately. So in spite of his all good qualifications, if he is simply proud, then everything becomes zero
- If one becomes free from the bodily concept of life, then where is material miseries?" Material miseries does not affect him. Just like I am putting on this shirt. If it is torn, so am I affected?

- If one can hear from the proper source, and if he understands the real fact of rasa-lila, then the result will be that his heart, which is full with lusty desire, that will vanish. There will be no more lusty desires
- If one falls down in the dark well, it is very difficult to get out, because he may cry very loudly and people may not hear. These dark well are sometimes there in the paddy field
- If one gives up the research work just after making a few steps' advance, oh, that will not help. One has to go on, go on with it with steadiness, that "What is God? I shall see." That is called jnani, jijnasu, philosopher, inquisitive
- If one has fallen in the blind well - "Please get me up! Get me up!" - so I give him a rope: "Yes, catch it. I'll get you . . ." "No, no, I shall not catch." Without catching, there is no . . . so if you want to learn, come here. Stay. We shall teach you
- If one has got unflinching faith and devotion to the SPG - yasyasti bhaktir bhagavaty akincana sarvair gunaih - all the good qualities. So many, twenty-six good qualities of Vaisnava. These good qualities will be manifest
- If one has no money, no intelligence, he can use his words. He can go to the people, and he can say: "Please chant Hare Krsna." So this preaching work, the service of Krsna, is not, blocked by any disqualification if one is ready to serve
- If one has nothing to control, he keeps a dog to control. That is very good experience in your country. He has no children to control, no wife to control - keep a dog. So the controlling propensity is there, everywhere, but he is not Supreme Controller
- If one has this divine characteristic, then he is eligible for going to the spiritual world. Vimoksaya
- If one hears one day, one minute, one second this vibration of chanting, it will act someday. Therefore this is the best welfare activity in the human society
- If one is actually Krsna conscious, then these qualities will be visible in his person. Yasyasti bhaktir bhagavaty akincana sarvair gunais tatra samasate surah (SB 5.18.12). That is the test
- If one is addicted to this material way of life, he cannot understand, or cannot be convinced, about Krsna consciousness
- If one is determined that, "I shall only act according to the advice of my Guru Maharaja," then he's perfect. One has to submit like Arjuna said, sisyas te 'ham sadhi mam prapannam (BG 2.7). Otherwise he'll argue
- If one is intelligent enough, if he has got actually the bitter taste of this material world, he'll never agree. But those who have not advanced to such knowledge, oh, they think, - Oh, this material enjoyment is very nice
- If one is not faithful, if he does not believe in God, for him it is to be forgotten. He cannot not understand what is Absolute Truth
- If one is not jijnasu, if one is not inquisitive about the miserable condition of his life, if he remains satisfied in miserable condition of life, then he is nothing but animal
- If one is sincerely in Krsna consciousness, all the good qualifications will come, automatically. Therefore we give more stress on KC
- If one is speculator, he will be on the material field. Asata. Asato ma sad gamaya. "Don't remain in the asat. Come to the reality." That reality begins from the tongue

- If one understands this fact, that why God comes, if he is fully aware of the fact, he's already liberated, immediately
- If people take advantage of this instruction, as you have mentioned in your article "The Great Seers," so if we follow their instruction, the whole history of the human being can be changed
- If required, we shall appoint professional man and keep everything very vigilant; things are going. Otherwise, once bad reputation - finished, so much attempt
- If simply head is there, if there is no leg, then who'll walk? This is the understanding, not equal. Everyone must have his separate duties to serve the whole. That is the arrangement. This is real understanding
- If some authority says that "Beyond this wall this is the . . . like this," it is all right. So we have to follow this path, that you become guru, deliver your neighborhood men, associates, but speak the authoritative words of Krsna. Then it will act
- If some rascal says that "I don't believe in the next life," that is his foolish thinking. He has to change his body. Nature's law is going on. You are not controller of the nature; you are controlled by nature
- If somebody asks you, "You are so much eager to sell your books. Do you read your books?" then what you will say? "No, sir, we don't read. We sell only. Our Guru Maharaja writes, and we sell." That is not good business

- If somebody, instead of crossing the steps, he is given chance of the elevator, within a second he comes to the top
- If somehow or other he becomes lean to Krsna consciousness, then he is eligible for being delivered from this miserable condition of material life. Maya tahare chadaya. Then this illusion, maya, releases our light here now
- If the animal has no soul, then the child has also no soul, because the child behaves like an animal
- If the cat comes and immediately gots up on the throne, sit down, we don't take the cat as offender, because it is fool, animal. You see? But if you go and sit down there, then everyone will be - Oh, you are so rascal that you are going to sit down there?

- If you have faith, you must abide by the religious process. If you don't follow, that means you have no faith
- If you have firm faith, if you take Krsna, "Yes, Krsna is the Supreme Personality," then your examination is passed. Just like fire. You understand what is fire or not understand, but if you catch fire, it will act

- If you have got the qualification of a shopkeeper, you cannot act as engineer. That is not possible. If you have got the qualification of a teacher, educationist, then you can become a teacher. So the whole world is going like that, guna-karma-vibhagasah

- If you prepare yourself to go to the higher planetary system, Candraloka, Suryaloka, Indraloka, Svargaloka, Brahmaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka - there are so many, hundreds. If you want to go there, then you prepare in that way
- If you put butter before the fire, automatically it melts. Similarly, a woman is considered as fire and the man is considered as butter. So this is natural. But a person who is not agitated, he is called dhira

- It (the soul) has akara, but you cannot see with the blunt eyes. "Then how can I understand?" Srotriyam brahma-nistham, tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). You have to learn by hearing. There is no other process
- It (the soul) is very fragmental, minute, atomic portion. But it cannot be burned, cannot be cut into pieces. So here the Mayavadi theory will fail

- It is all auspicious symptoms, and let us be situated firmly in Krsna consciousness and act this missionary work, spreading Krsna consciousness all over the world. That will make our life successful
- It is authoritative statement of Krsna. Na mam duskrtino mudhah. So these classes of men do not surrender to Krsna. So anyone who has not surrendered to Krsna, he comes within these categories. This is a plain description if we believe in BG. All rascals

- It is clearly stated in the Bhagavad-gita: bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55). No other process. No speculative philosophy or meditation. It is not possible. So bhakti is the process, you are the knower, and Krsna is knowable. That's all
- It is displayed in a very scientific way, we are seeing that "My child is growing." It is not growing. The actual fact is the child is a soul, and the soul is changing every minute the body. That is real understanding
- It is duratyaya for the living entities, not for Krsna, because Krsna is the controller and we are controlled. Therefore in the next verse it is said, Jiva, we living entities, we are being controlled by this maya, sammohita. Sammohita means illusion
- It is explained any religion which does not recognize or do not understand the principles of religion, so that is cheating religion
- It is false knowledge. Its knowledge has no value. Sanatana Gosvami has strictly forbidden: avaisnava-mukhodgirnam putam hari-kathamrtam, sravanam naiva kartavyam. Don't hear. You'll be spoiled
- It is forbidden, matra svasra duhitra va, "Don't keep yourself in a lonely place and talk 'pish-pish' with woman, even she is mother, daughter or sister." Strictly forbidden. That "pish-pish" will kill you

- It is guaranteed human life? - somebody asking. Even if it guaranteed, why should you take the chance of another life? Finish this business in this life. Take help from Krsna, take help from books, take from your spiritual master
- It is heard from the sastra, "The God is within my heart. Now let me find out where is God within my heart." That is called yoga, yoga system
- It is impossible. But she (an Australian disciple) went and married him, and they're living peacefully. Now they are married. So I have to see the interest of my missionary work. Never mind
- It is in good words, vimukta-maninah. Because it is said by Vyasadeva or a devotee, little respectful, vimukta-maninah, falsely thinking that he has become liberated
- It is meant for the human being and - do not mind it - it appears that rarely a human being is found there to take up the responsibility in India. They're talking all nonsense. The real message of Indian culture is Krsna consciousness
- It is mistaken idea that the Paramatma and the atma, jivatma, is the same. They are same in quality, but Paramatma is worshipable and jivatma is the worshiper
- It is my duty to become Krsna conscious and to serve the cause of Krsna. Oh, that is my duty. That is my real duty. - When we come to this knowledge, then we become mahatma, or the great soul
- It is my duty to speak for Krsna only. That's all. I am not going to speak anything. - He's a sannyasi
- It is natural to serve God, to remain faithful to Him. This is natural. And artificially you are trying to be independent. This is the Mayavadi . . . Still they are trying to become God himself
- It is not a new movement, because as I told you, that this is based on the principles of Bhagavad-gita, and Bhagavad-gita is not new. At least from historical point of view, it is five thousand years old
- It is not a question of religious process. You must know things as they are. Religion is that, because religion means to know the real law. That is religion. Not . . . religion does not mean sentiment
- It is not an artistic paint, but it is taken from the Vedic literature, what is the original form of Krsna. Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami. That is original form
- It is not by chance, but we wanted to lord it over the material world, therefore we have got this material body. So everyone in this material world, either human being or animals, or birds and beast, is trying to be the lord of the universe
- It is not by education or grammatical knowledge you can learn anything. No. It is by the grace of the SPG. And that grace comes down through the grace of guru. That grace also does not come directly. We should not be neglecting this point
- It is not easy to understand Bhagavan, or God. God is not the exact word of Bhagavan; therefore we use the word "Godhead." - Back to Godhead
- It is not easy to understand Krsna. But Krsna is so kind that He is coming personally and He is leaving behind Him this Bhagavad-gita to understand Him. That is Krsna's kindness
- It is not easy-going, sleeping business. We have to fight with so many demons. Otherwise, kava dava adakanam, my Guru Maharaja used to say. Beg some rice, and bring it and cook it, and eat and sleep
- It is not forbidden that daivi sampatti is meant for a class of men and asuri sampatti is meant for another class of men. No. Krsna is open to everyone. Krsna is not monopolized by a certain class of men
- It is not forbidding meat-eating, but don't eat cows' flesh. That is loss. It is a great loss to the human society
- It is not my advice, but it is the advice of the Vedic knowledge that woman should be chaste and faithful to man
- It is not my religious belief. I am just giving you general description of religious life and animal life. The animal cannot be taken to the churches and teach something about God. It is not possible. But a human being can be
- It is not possible for you to manufacture these nice grapes or oranges or banana or rice. No. That is not in your power. Therefore a sane man should admit that "This is sent by God." This is common sense
- It is not possible that we can give up sinful activities by our own endeavor, because in this age, Kali-yuga, everyone is addicted to some sort of sinful activities
- It is not so easy to understand God. But if you take the process as is recommended in the sastras by saintly person, then it is easy. Otherwise it is not easy
- It is not that because we are devotee and they (Lord Jesus Christ and Muhammad) are not devotee. Don't think like that. Anyone who is preaching the glories of God, he is a devotee. He should not be blasphemed. You should be careful
- It is not that by Krsna consciousness movement everything, our daily routine work, will be stopped. No
- It is not that everyone is drinking, but there is facility for the drunkards. Because the drunkards want to drink, so government gives facility - All right. Here is a liquor shop. You drink
- It is not that the Vedic civilization does not know what is the effect of eating flesh. They have got very broad analytical knowledge, and in the recent years Mr. George Bernard Shaw, he also said that, - You are what you eat
- It is not that then they (eat meat and drink liquor) were unknown; now it is discovered by scientific advancement
- It is not that this Krsna consciousness movement is to give shelter to some irresponsible man who does not carry the responsibilities of family life or brahmacari life
- It is not that Vedic civilization did not know how to eat meat and how to drink liquor. It is all known. But they are prohibited, - Don't eat
- It is not that we love only our countrymen, only Hindus, or Bengalis, or Madrasis, or . . . no. We love everyone, even the animals. But because human being can understand the Krsna philosophy, therefore we hold meetings of the human being
- It is not the government's desire that there should be hospital or prison house. They can save so much money. But the people want it. A class of men, third-class men, they want this
- It is not the government's partiality, that somebody go to the prison house and somebody will go to the university and occupy responsible position. No. It is our fault that we do not take opportunity or the facilities offered by the government or Krsna
- It is not the question of whether it is pleasurable or nonpleasurable, but if you want to cure yourself from the disease, you have to follow the directions. That is the process
- It is not theory-fact. Jiva-jatisu. It is wandering within the cycle of jiva-jati, different species of life. Tatha dehantara praptih (BG 2.13). This is Vedic knowledge, this evolutionary process. It is not Darwin's theory
- It is not to make it null and void. No. The hand is there, but if you engage your hand in cleansing the temple, then you are transcendental
- It is recommended here, tat-purusa-nisevaya: we have to serve him (a guru in the disciplic succession) faithfully and always honestly. Then our purpose will be served
- It is said in the Bhagavad-gita, duhkhalayam. It is the place of miseries. You cannot become happy in a place which is meant for miseries. That we have to understand
- It is said in the Bible, "Man is made after the image of God." So God has got two hands, two legs, exactly. But He is the omnipotent, almighty. Our power is limited; His power is unlimited. Otherwise, He has got form
- It is said that "One who is impersonalist, he takes more trouble to come to Me. He will come later on, but it will take some time." The impersonal feature of understanding of the Supreme Absolute Truth, it is partial understanding
- It is said that at the end of this millennium, that if somebody lives from twenty to thirty years, he will be considered as very old man
- It is said that we have to accept knowledge through saintly person. Through sastra and guru we have to understand. So Krsna is accepted by all the sadhus and acaryas
- It is said that, "There will be cloud, there will be lightning, but there will be no rainfall." These are stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. This is the result of our sinful life, restriction
- It is simply rubber stamp: "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian." And none of them do know what is God and how to love Him
- It is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, once you begin, even one percent you can realize, that will never be lost. That will remain a permanent settlement
- It is stated in the English dictionary: "Krsna, one of the Hindu gods." But Krsna does not say that - I am the Hindu god
- It is still the system that the daughter must get married. That is the responsibility of the father. It is called kanya-dana. A father may not get his son married. That is not very great responsibility
- It is temple, and that is house. Otherwise, from the external feature, where is the difference? The same stone, the same wood, the same plant, the same land, the same kitchen - everything is same, and the business is the same
- It is the business of the guru, to deliver this disciple, sisya, from this blazing fire of samsara, samsrti, bandha, conditioned life, to save him from that position and give him the eternal happiness
- It is the duty of the brahmana, it is the duty of the father, it is the duty of the public leader, it is the duty of the government to see that everyone is engaged, everyone is employed
- It is the duty of the government to see how things are going on. But it is simply now dream. People are also not interested what is the aim of life, what is the mission of this human form of life; neither there is guidance
- It is the duty of the human society to save the human being to degrade, from becoming again cats and dogs, or to elevate him higher and higher
- It is the duty of the ksatriya to see that everyone is executing his proper professional or occupational duty. We have discussed this point yesterday, sva-dharmam api caveksya (BG 2.31). Sva-dharma
- It is the government's duty to manage whether a man should be put into prison house, whether a man should go to the university. But the difference of individual activities
- It is the government's duty to see that nobody cheats. If a person without any medical qualification, if he writes "doctor" or "medical practitioner," he should be punished
- It is the most valuable thing of your life, chanting Hare Krsna. And you'll practically find the result. It is not bluff
- It is the particular mentality - one is going to the university, one is going to the prison house. That is your individual independence. That is your choice
- It is the statement of the sastras that in this age the whole population is sudra. And formerly also, by birth everyone was considered sudra; but there was training, samskara
- It is to be seen whether Lenin is perfect or Krsna is perfect. That is another thing, but you have to follow some authority
- It is understood from any source of scriptural injunction that the Supreme Lord, or Krsna, is the maintainer of the individual living entities, and it is the duty of the individual entity to feel obliged to the Supreme Lord
- It is up to us to become divine or demon. To go back to home, to back to Godhead, is in our own hand. Now we have to practice it
- It is up to you to accept the authority of Bhagavad-gita or authority of the Americans. That is your . . . we follow the authorities of Bhagavad-gita
- It is Vedic version, dharma, to make them religious. Therefore every civilized nation has some sort of religion. Because without becoming religious, there is no possibility of peace and prosperity
- It is very difficult subject matter (how to stop accepting bodies), of course, to understand, but Bhagavad-gita teaches, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati - BG 4.7
- It is very difficult subject matter, but it is made easy because . . . Devahuti says, sukham buddhyeya: "Very easily I can understand, because I am woman." Krsna is open to everyone: striyo vaisyas tatha sudrah - BG 9.32
- It is very difficult to chant Hare Krsna mantra twenty-four hours. Those who are not accustomed, they'll become mad simply by chanting
- It is very difficult to understand Krsna. But still, Krsna is understandable if we simply follow the instruction of the Bhagavad-gita as it is, without any malinterpretation
- It is very easy thing that, - Leader must be faithful. A leader must know what is God and how to trust in Him. And he must be free from all sinful activities
- It is very important movement. This morning also I said at the press representative meeting at the airport that there are so many universities and, especially in your country, department of knowledge, but why they are not discussing this point
- It is very instructive chapter, if you continue to understand this instruction of Rsabhadeva. Now we have only read one verse. The next verse is that mahat-sevam dvaram ahur vimukteh - SB 5.5.2
- It is visible to all that in spite of the extensive material progress, the human society is not in peaceful condition
- It may be a monarch or it may be a president - it doesn't matter - but there must be one chief executive officer on the head. That you cannot avoid. That is essential
- It may be some fact for fifty or sixty years, but the world is not for fifty or sixty years - for millions and millions of years
- It may be that we shall live forever. - They say like that. Now, who is going to live for millions of years to see, to confirm your proposal? Everyone will be finished within fifty, sixty years
- It may be, the duration of life, little more - a dog's duration of life less than man's duration of life. That may be. But nobody is going to live forever. That is not possible
- It requires great advancement of spiritual life when one can concentrate in chanting Hare Krsna mantra. It is not so easy
- It takes at least seven months. And they went in four days, and the man's mother . . . His photograph was there. She said, "Oh, at last my son has gone there." You have seen that photograph? I have seen it. Mother was satisfied. This is going on
- It was about ten pounds. So she supplied immediately, one woman, and when she was offered price, "Oh, why shall I take a price for ten or twenty pounds of milk? Oh, you can take it." That is my practical experience. Milk was so freely available
- It was especially mentioned, kirtanad eva krsnasya, simply by chanting Hare Krsna, one can become . . . this is the greatest boon in this age. Although there are so many difficulties, full of miseries, increase in the greatest volume
- It will be automatically cleansed if you simply give aural reception to the message of the Uttama-sloka, which is, in other word, it is called krsna-katha
- It will be glory of India if we preach the message of Krsna, Bhagavad-gita. They're accepting. And I wish that the Balaji's estate, Balaji's money, should be spent for spreading Krsna consciousness, not for any other purpose. That is my request
J
- Jagad-anda means the universe. Koti, many millions clustered together, that is material world. And beyond that material world there is spiritual world, another sky. That is also sky. That is called paravyoma
- Jagai-Madhai, they were zamindars, very rich men, and brahmana. But because they were addicted to these habits, they were taken as the most sinful
- Jagat is not mithya. How it can be mithya? Janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1). It is coming, emanating, from the Absolute Truth. It is truth. Therefore we have to find out the truth, what is that truth
- Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati. And the trees, plants, they are two millions. Never says "approximately," "maybe," "perhaps." No. This is all nonsense. We don't accept such knowledge
- Janadhipah, the leaders, when there is fight the leaders must come forward. And as soon as the leaders are killed, then it is victory - not by killing the soldiers or common men by atomic bomb. No. That was not fighting
- Janaka Maharaja, Bhismadeva, and Sukadeva Gosvami, Prahlada Maharaja - in this way there are twelve authorities, and all of them are following the Sankhya philosophy or bhakti-yoga, all of them
- Janena saba puruse tena labhya: a person to whom God reveals Himself, he can understand. So we have to wait for that and for God's mercy
- Janma means a very rich man, born in a rich family or high family, that means automatically he becomes a rich man Janmaisvarya-sruta (SB 1.8.26). Or somebody becomes very highly or great learned man, sruta
- Janmady asya yatah, that is the first Vedanta-sutra. The Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on Vedanta-sutra. Vedanta-sutra philosophy was expounded by Vyasadeva, mahamuni
- Jawaharlal Nehru, our late prime minister, introduced divorce law. Now the society is in chaotic condition
- Jesus Christ also preached, "Thou shall not kill," but these rascals, all violating. And still, they are proclaiming as Christian and Buddhist. No real religion will allow this kind of violence. No religion. It is cheating religion
- Jesus Christ said "son of God." So it is very good. It doesn't matter, if we remain son of God or servant of God faithfully, then it is first-class religious system
- Jesus Christ said, "You nonsense, stop killing." Then there will be time we'll understand one day Krsna. So the first instruction is to stop sinful activities; then he'll be qualified
- Jesus Christ says that he's son of God, and Krsna says He's God. Therefore, He's father of Jesus Christ
- Jesus Christ was so badly treated, and still he was thinking, "Father, they do not know what they are doing. Please excuse." This is suhrdah. He is praying to God. This is sadhu, mahatma
- Jesus Christ, what fault he had? He was preaching about God, and he was crucified. That is in your country a very good example
- Jesus Christ, what fault he had? He was preaching about God, and he was crucified. That is in your country a very good example. Simply his fault was he was talking of God, that's all, and he was crucified. So we have to meet
- Jijnasa, enquiry, means not for any other purpose, any political, social or this . . . so many things are there in this material world. But real jijnasa is brahma-jijnasa. That is, the Vedanta-sutra begins
- Jijnasuh, jnani, they do not want anything "Give me," but jijnasuh: "Actually, what is God? What is the Absolute Truth?" That is the difference
- Jiva-bhuta, the living entities, they have been described as prakrti, and prakrti means female. And Krsna has been described as purusa. So purusa is the enjoyer, and prakrti is the enjoyed
- Jivera svarupa haya means the real nature of the living entity is eternal servitor, eternal servant of Lord Krsna
- Jnana, knowledge, simply material knowledge, is not perfection of knowledge. Real knowledge is to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth, Visnu. That is real knowledge
- Jnana, this knowledge, most confidential knowledge, it is not sentiment. Vijnana-sahitam. It is science. Just like in scientific knowledge you must know theoretically and practically
- Jnana-vairagya-yuktena. Not sentimental. We must know very clearly what is Krsna - that is jnana - what is my relationship with Krsna - that is jnana - and what is my duty to Krsna - that is jnana
- Jnana-yoga process means to search out the Absolute Truth or to understand the nature of the Absolute Truth by philosophical way
- Jnana-yoga system or dhyana-yoga system, that is partial understanding, Paramatma feature. In that way you can understand, you can come to the platform of understanding samah sarvesu bhutesu. But that is not perfection
- Jnanis they are also mahatmas, speculating what is the Absolute Truth. They are also called mahatma. But this mahatma, bhajanty ananya-manaso, without any deviation, this mahatma is very rare. Sa mahatma sudurlabhah
- Jnanis, they also want. They, being fed up of this material way of life, they want to merge into the existence of Brahman. That is jnani
- Jnanis, they say brahma satyam jagan mithya: "This world is false. There is no enjoyment. Actual enjoyment, to merge into the existence of Brahman." So that is also a subtle sense enjoyment
- Just always think of Krsna, always offer obeisances to Krsna, become a devotee of Krsna. Man-mana, think of Krsna always. We have to carry this message. Where is the difficulty
- Just become submissive and try to hear from authorities. San-mukharitam. Who is authority? Authority is Krsna and, or God, or His representative. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he's representative of God
- Just being hurt by the words of wife that, "I love her . . ." Later on he (Tulasi dasa) understood, - Yes, she is right. So why should I be so much attached?
- Just by supplying foodstuff to your stomach you can serve all the limbs of your body, similarly, simply by loving Krsna you can learn how to love everyone
- Just consider the position of Bhismadeva. He was lying on deathbed with all these... Of course, the Pandavas, they were their grandson. It is their duty. But why Krsna should go there
- Just for your food work little, and balance time engage yourself in Krsna consciousness. This is ideal life
- Just get yourself married and have sex life only for children, not for other purpose. So kamasya nendriya-pritih. Kama means we have got some demands of the body. That is called kama, or lust. So that does not mean that we have to gratify the senses
- Just imagine how expert supervision is there, that the sun is rising exactly in the same moment as it is to be done. The waves of the sea are going on perpetually, but the waves cannot come beyond the limit
- Just like a diamond or a valuable stone, you'll find a different color. Sometimes you'll find red, sometimes you'll find green, sometimes you'll find some other color, the same stone. Similarly, Krsna when appears, He appears in different colors
- Just like a dog is also jumping, a man is also jumping. This is going on. But that is not civilization. Real civilization means these things are to be acquired in real life, personal life; then that is civilization
- Just like a foreigner is traveling from one place to another, similarly, I am also changing my body from one body to another, one planet to another. But there is no permanent settlement anywhere in this material world. This is our condition
- Just like a man and woman becomes lusty and their combination brings forth a child, a third matter. They think like that. They are thinking everything is matter. No. There is good brain within the combination
- Just like a man may be born in a low family or poor family, but by his intelligence he gets another birth. He becomes very rich man or very learned man, very intelligent man, very philosophic . . . that life is from the university
- Just like a physician diagnoses the disease by the symptoms of the disease, similarly, we have to accept one as Brahmin by the symptoms of his behavior, not by birth
- Just like a soldier fighting, the government takes cares of his family. That is special prerogative. If he dies in the fighting, the government gives pension to the family members. So you are fortunate in that way, because your son is fighting with maya
- Just like fire. If you touch knowingly or unknowingly, it is fire, and it is burn your body. Similarly, if Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then one who has taken Him, then he will derive the highest benefit undoubtedly
- Just like for our usual life we require lawyers, we require engineer, we require medical practitioner, we require so many; similarly, in the society there must be a class of men who are fully God conscious and ideal. That is necessary
- Just like good citizenship means to abide by the laws of the state, of the government. That is good citizenship. Similarly, a real religious person means who is abiding by the orders of the Supreme Lord
- Just like here also we worship some demigods, some government officer. He (a demigod) is also man like me, but he has got some power, and in order to take some advantage of the power, I worship him. I want his favor
- Just like here we have got conception of male and female, similarly, originally, God and His energy, God is male and energy female, prakrti and purusa
- Just like I cannot see beyond this wall. My seeing power is limited. Therefore I see there is nothing beyond this wall; there is nothing beyond this room. That's not fact. There is everything
- Just like I do not see God. Then what do you see? Your seeing power is very limited. Why don't you accept that? So He's not appreciable by limited senses. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja
- Just like I want to see my wife and children happy, similarly, it is the duty of the human society to see that the cows feeling very happy. This is human civilization. Otherwise it is tiger civilization, meat-eaters
- Just like if you have achieved the quality of a medical practitioner, then your work shall be a medical practitioner. Similarly, if one has achieved the quality of a brahmin or Vaisnava, then his activities should be like that
- Just like if you take proper medicine for curing your disease, the more your disease is cured, you feel healthy life. Pure life means healthy life, and impure life means unhealthy life
- Just like if you touch fire, either knowingly or unknowingly, it will act. Similarly, if the children, imitate the elderly person, offering flower, taking prasadam, offering obeisances, they're as good as their father & mother. This is devotional service
- Just like if you want to be an engineer, you must be trained under some engineer. Similarly, if you want to be trained up spiritually, then you must accept a spiritual master
- Just like in dream at night we also work. So this is gross dream and that is subtle dream. But real life is spiritual life. But we foolish people, we are taking this life as permanent life, permanent settlement. It is not permanent settlement
- Just like in our worldly affairs we, for gentleman's etiquette, we ask, "How are you? How things are going on?" now, here the king was asking the sage, "You have become sage just to conquer over death." So highest knowledge is to conquer over the death
- Just like in the law court. You are lawyer. You are arguing. When you quote from a judgment, previous judgment, it is accepted. Similarly, when you give authoritative statement support of your talking, then it is perfect. That is the way
- Just like it is the duty of the state, of the government, to give protection to the department of law and order, similarly Krsna, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He gives protection to religious principles
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ rebelled against the Old Testament. He formulated his own testament, New Testament. Similarly, Lord Buddha also, he rejected Vedas and he presented his own philosophy: ahimsa, nonviolence
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. So he could not be crucified. It is a false notion. There was resurrection. Because God or God's representative, they are not under the laws of this material nature
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he said that, "I am son of God." So he's representative of the Supreme. And similarly, Hazrat Muhammad, he also identified himself as a servant, padat hi bandhah, a servant of the Lord
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he told that, "I am the son of God." He's happy. So everyone, you can become similarly happy as soon as you are reinstated in your position
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ, Vaisnava. For others' suffering he agreed to be crucified. But the followers are so unfaithful, they have settled up that "Let Christ suffer for us, and let us go on committing sin." Very good conclusion
- Just like man is sleeping, and some enemy has come to attack him or to kill him. So still he's nicely sleeping. But if some friend cries, "Mr. Such-and-such, wake up, wake up! Here is enemy. He'll kill you, kill you!" he can rise up
- Just like my finger cannot be separated; or can be separated, but in the diseased condition it cannot work. It cannot work in its original, constitutional position. Similarly, due to our this material disease, we cannot properly serve the SPG, the whole
- Just like Narada Muni. He is going to the hellish planet also for preaching Krsna consciousness. So a devotee is not afraid of going anywhere for the service of the Lord. That is devotee. He has no personal desire; simply how to glorify
- Just like Nityananda Prabhu took all risk, Lord Jesus Christ took all risk. Therefore a devotee is more kind than God. A devotee is more merciful than God Himself. We should always remember this
- Just like one has to be educated from the lower class to the postgraduate class, similarly, this division of labor is there just to elevate one from the lowest stage of consciousness to the highest stage of Krsna consciousness. So that is a cooperation
- Just like one is being educated, when he passes his examination one can understand that he's going to be engineer or a medical practitioner. Similarly, in this life you can prepare yourself to become something next life
- Just like ordinary machine and a complicated machine. The machine has to be worked by somebody. Not that because it is highly developed valuable machine it works automatically. This simple thing these rascals, they do not understand
- Just like our body is made of skin, that bellow is also made of skin, and it has got a big nose, and breathing is coming, "bhas-ghans, ghans-bhas." So these are the tangible examples
- Just like our children, they are seeing this Deity worship, this kirtana - they will learn. Similarly, those who have to work to earn their livelihood, mechanical or some, they can go to the . . . What is the use of wasting time going to the university
- Just like our death. What is this death? Death means a sound sleep for seven months. That's all
- Just like the Christians saying: "Jesus Christ, God." And how God can be killed by crucification? We do not discuss this point, but actually this is the fact
- Just like the rivers are flowing to the sea level. Similarly, a highly developed Krsna conscious person, at once he will hear about something of Krsna, he will be in ecstasy
- Just like the staircase is there, but not in this country, in Europe and American countries, side by side, there is lift, elevator
- Just like there are a few blind men, and one, another blind man, is proposing to help them crossing over the street. So this blind following is there in this sense, that we do not know what is the aim and objective of human society
- Just like there is wash of mist, sun, as soon as the sun rises. So let Krsna rise up. Therefore our this motto is in the English Back to Godhead, - Krsna is light
- Just like these (very nice job, good salary, nice apartment, wife and children) are allurements for enticing one in this materialistic way of life, similarly, there are many allurements in the Vedic literatures
- Just like they have now created the United Nation: "My dear all nations, please do not fight. Let us make a permanent settlement, peace." But the result is the fighting is going on. It cannot be stopped
- Just like this planet is predominant by earth only, similarly, there are varieties of planet in the universe. Some planet is predominant by air; some planet is predominant by water; some planet is predominant by fire
- Just like we apply some ointment to the eyes to make it clear - our vision becomes clearer - similarly, there is ointment which is called love of Godhead
- Just like we belong to the Brahma-sampradaya. There are four sampradayas: Brahma-sampradaya, Sri-sampradaya, Rudra-sampradaya and Kumara-samapradaya. They're all mahajana
- Just like we have got now mechanical arrangement, similarly, at that time (Sanjaya describing BG to Dhrtarastra), maybe the same arrangement, but there was no machine
- Just like we have now discovered this atomic energy. That is also tapasya. Or something wonderful, discovery, that also, tapasya. But here it is said, tapo divyam: "Undergo tapasya, austerity, penances, for transcendental realization
- Just like we sweep very nicely, cleansely, our room, similarly all types of cheating religion is wiped out, swept away. Dharmah projjhita-kaitavo atra - SB 1.1.2
- Just like we were discussing this point, sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam (CC Madhya 19.170). This is pancaratriki-vidhi. Without following these principles, the so-called devotional service, hari-bhakti, utpata, simply a disturbance
- Just like we, Krsna conscious people, we have given up intoxication. Now, if somebody comes and bribes and offers some money that, "You take this one thousand dollar and drink," you'll not agree, because your consciousness is developed
- Just like women, children: it is better for them to remain subordinate. To remain subordinate. It is practical
- Just like you are a medical practitioner. So your dharma is to treat patients. That is your dharma. So everyone has got particular occupational duty
- Just like you are working as a medical practitioner. So you earn lakhs of rupees. Give to Krsna. That is tam abhyarcya. Then you become perfect. That is also confirmed in Bhagavata
- Just like you can pick up the spot of oil floating in the water by some process immediately, similarly, by bhakti-yoga process, although the spirit soul is floating in this material ocean, he can be picked up immediately
- Just like you can train anyone as lawyer, you can train anyone as an engineer or medical practitioner, similarly you can train anyone as brahmana. That is wanted
- Just like you can understand there are engineers and there are medical practitioners. So do you take them as caste? "Oh, he is engineer caste. He is medical caste." Do you say like that?
- Just like you go on sleep every night, so death means to sleep for seven months, unconsciousness, very deep sleep in the womb of the mother
- Just like you have got a staircase to rise up to the fifth or sixth or tenth floor, or more than that, the whole staircase or the lift service is called yoga
- Just like you have submitted, so you can understand God. This is the only qualification
- Just like you have the facility of travelling over the surface of the earth or in the outer space on the earth. But you cannot go beyond the orbit. This is called conditioned life
- Just like you issue license to medical practitioner, registered medical. Why don't you see that which movement is genuine? That is the duty of the government
- Just like you may believe in Christian religion, I may believe in Hindu religion, but it does not mean that a Christian child is not going to become a boy
- Just like you receive material sound vibration in the radios or television from distant place, there is another machine, which can receive the vibration in the spiritual world. So that vibration is Hare Krsna mantra
- Just like you see here millions of planets or stars within this universe. This universe is a small particle only. There are many universes like this. This is only one-fourth manifestation of the planets, other three-fourth is there in the spiritual sky
- Just like you touch fire knowingly or unknowingly, it will burn; similarly, if you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra knowingly or unknowingly, it will be effective on your life
- Just like your radio message, television sound, they cannot go beyond this earthly planet, at most. But there is sound which can penetrate the whole universe and go to the spiritual world
- Just like your, the chief executive head is called the president, similarly, there is a chief executive head also in the sun planet, president
- Just like, in the operation table, one becomes unconscious for one hour, half an hour. Then he comes to his consciousness. Again he comes to the same point. So similarly, death is nothing but to remain practically unconscious for seven months. That's all
- Just present that here is the . . . Sukadeva Gosvami is the speaker of Bhagavatam. He says: "I learned it from my father." And who is his father? Bopadeva or Vyasadeva? This is going on
- Just spend your beauty or utilize your asset, that is brahmana, to be liberal
- Just talk with them (my students). They will be able to explain how they are understanding. So similarly, you will also be able to understand. It is not very difficult subject
- Just try to get out of these material clutches and begin your spiritual life. That will make you happy. That is the only source of happiness. Otherwise it is not
- Just try to understand that you are eternal. You have no death, you have no birth. Your the birth and death is due to this body. That's all. Just like I told you, death means sleeping for seven months, again rise up. Suptotthito nyaya
- Just you are talking on the source of knowledge from the modern scientific books; similarly, we are talking also on the source of knowledge received from Vedas. It is not a religious belief or faith, blind faith
K
- Kala, time, is very powerful. In time everything can be done. In time you can become very happy, and in time you can become very distressed, very much distressed, unhappy. Time can give you. And time is also Krsna, kala-rupena
- Kalatra means wife, and through wife there are children, society, friendship and love and so many things. Sva-dhih. And that is our own thing. Yasyatma-buddhih. The nationalism is also like that
- Kalau sudra-sambhavah. Kalau means in this age, this iron age, almost everyone is a sudra. It is very difficult to find out really brahmana, ksatriya. Vaisyas maybe there are. But mostly sudras
- Kalau, in this age, you cannot find a man perfectly purified or anyway. That is not possible. Therefore you chant Hare Krsna, and that will help you, the process of purification
- Kali-yuga entered after disappearance of Krsna. Pariksit Maharaja was also very vigilant. The Pandavas, they left their kingdom because they could understand that Kali-yuga has already entered
- Kali-yuga is very strong. Time is very strong, that even coming in contact with Krsna consciousness, they are falling
- Kali-yuga means that people will be more and more unhappy. The first thing is that the duration of life will decrease, alpa-ayusa. And manda, all bad men. Hardly we'll find any good men
- Kali-yuga, everyone is almost sudra. And still, striyo vaisyas tatha sudras te 'pi yanti param gatim. They can be elevated. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement
- Kalki's nature is described in Bhagavata. He will come just like a prince, royal dress with sword, and on horseback; simply killing, no preaching. All rascals killed. No more preaching. That is the last. There will be no brain to understand what is God
- Kalpana is not faith, it is blind. "Let me imagine some form of Krsna." And therefore gradually, they come down to the position that any form you imagine as God, that is all right. They (mayavadis) have come to this degradation
- Kamadinam kathidha na kathida palita durni-desah. Even I don't want to do it, something wrong, but my senses are dictating, so "All right, let me do it." So we are... I am servant of the senses
- Kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesah (CC Madhya 22.16, (Brs 3.2.35). The slaves of the senses, they are following the dictation of the senses, and abominable activities they are doing
- Kaminam means lusty. The lusty people, they do like that. They do not care for society, do not care for elderly persons, do not care that - People will not like this
- Kanya-daya means by law the father is bound to get his daughter married. By law. He cannot escape the responsibility. This is father's duty
- Kapila Muni is explaining to His mother the glories of devotional service. So if we follow Him, then we also get informed what is the truth of devotional service. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah
- Kardama Muni begot in her nine daughters and one son, with the promise that "As soon as you get your children, then I will go away. I am not going to live forever with you." So she agreed
- Karma means doing something for your personal benefit. That is called karma. Or, in plain words, doing something for sense gratification, that is called karma
- Karma means general activities on moral principle. That is called karma. Real karma means that you have to live, so you have to work. So work in such a way that you may not be entangled
- Karma means ordinary work. I work whole day; I get some remuneration and enjoy for my sense gratification. That is called karma, in this life or that life or next life
- Karma means prescribed duties. Prescribed duties. That is called karma. And vikarma means doing against the prescribed duties. That is called vikarma. And akarma means something doing which has no reaction
- Karma means there is result, either pious result or impious result. That is called karma
- Karma means you have to enjoy the result, fruitive result. That is called karma. And vikarma means punishable, papa. And akarma means you do something, but you are neither punishable nor rewardable
- Karma, fruitive activities, "Let me work hard and get the result and enjoy." This is called karma. And jnana means speculative knowledge
- Karma, jnana, yoga, these things are very popular. By karma, by activities, you can earn money and fulfill your material desire. That is called karma
- Karne pravesila means simply one has to receive the message of Lord Caitanya. Karne means in the ear. To give the message a submissive aural reception. Then immediately one's heart becomes freed from all material contamination
- Katha-rati, attraction for krsna-katha. Simply let us hear, let us chant, let us think of Krsna. That will make us very much rapidly progressive on the spiritual path
- Kazi acted against sankirtana, so Caitanya Mahaprabhu challenged, - Now, tonight we shall perform sankirtana with one hundred thousand of people
- Ke ami kene amaya jare tapa-traya (CC Madhya 20.102). Everyone is suffering threefold miserable condition of life: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika
- Killing of animal does not mean that if a man kills a cow or goat for eating, he is killing, and those who are vegetarian, they are not killing. They are also killing. A vegetable has also got life
- Kindly try to understand our philosophy thoroughly, and then others will follow, "He's a big lawyer. He's a Krsna conscious man." If you have any doubt, you can ask. We will try to explain
- King is supposed to be dealing in politics, economics. Therefore, according to social position, he is lesser than the brahmin, because they are simply engaged in the matter of transcendental advancement of life
- King or president, the chief of the executive... He should be exactly the representative of God. As guru is representative of God, similarly, the king or president is also representative of God
- Kirtana means kirtayati, glorifying. That is kirtana. So either you sing musically or you speak devotionally, both of them are kirtana. Just like Sukadeva Gosvami, he continually spoke to Maharaja Pariksit
- Knowledge does not mean that how you can manufacture nuclear weapon. That is not knowledge. That is illusion
- Kota nidra jao maya-pisacira kole. Everyone is sleeping on the lap of maya. Now, this human form of life is not for sleeping but for awakening and fight with maya. That is human life
- Krsna advised Arjuna to become a yogi, but Arjuna said that - Krsna, it is not possible for me. Because I am a politician, I am a soldier, I cannot sit down to practice yoga superficially. My mind will be disturbed in political affairs, in state affairs
- Krsna also happens to be grandfather of Maharaja Pariksit, and Maharaja Yudhisthira also happens to be grandfather, being the eldest brother of his grandfather. So Krsna is the authority
- Krsna also said that - I will not fight. I'll not fight, because this is family quarrel. I am known to every one of you. We are related. So I cannot take this side or that side
- Krsna also, as spiritual master of Arjuna, He played. He is the original acarya
- Krsna appeared for re-establishing the religious principle, dharma samsthapanarthaya (BG 4.8). When Krsna or any incarnation of the Lord descends, there are two kinds of mission. One mission is paritranaya sadhunam - BG 4.8
- Krsna appeared for reestablishing the religious principles, but after His disappearance, who has taken charge for this department? - That was their (sages) question. So Suta Gosvami is congratulating them, that - This question is very auspicious
- Krsna bhuliya jiva bhoga vancha kare, we wanted to enjoy, to lord it over this material world, He has given us chance, "All right, enjoy. Enjoy to your best capacity." But He is witnessing. Witnessing means you want something, Krsna is supplying
- Krsna came to establish what is real religion, not cheating religion. Cheating religion will not help us
- Krsna can eat everything. He is God. But He says that, "Give Me this." Patram puspam phalam toyam: "Offer Me this flower, fruit, water." Like that
- Krsna comes down from there (Goloka Vrndavana); therefore avatara, "comes down." Therefore He's called avatara. Or any Visnu incarnation who comes down, They come down from the higher planetary system. Therefore it is called avatara
- Krsna comes for reestablishing the principles of religion. Religion means the order set by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is religion: "You do like this." Just like king's orders, or the government orders, - Do like this
- Krsna comes here as ordinary human being, but the purpose is to reestablish the principles of religion as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam - BG 4.8
- Krsna comes Himself. He is within everyone's heart. He's instructing. He is ready to instruct, but He'll only instruct to such persons who have engaged themselves in devotional service
- Krsna comes personally to canvass that - This is not your proper order of life. You are misusing your independence for sense gratification and wandering through various types of transmigration of bodies - sometimes human body, sometimes dog's body
- Krsna comes to canvass the conditioned soul that, "For eternal happiness, for eternal dealings, you come to Me in My eternal place." Yad gatva na nivartante tad dhama paramam mama - BG 15.6
- Krsna comes, His avatara comes, His incarnation too. Because we are very thickly, intimately, related. We are sons; we are part and parcel of Krsna
- Krsna comes, the purusottama, to take us back. - Why you are now covered, your shining is stopped? You are morose. You are suffering threefold miserable condition of material existence. Why you are rotting here?
- Krsna comes. God Himself comes. He sends His devotees. He comes as a devotee just to again reclaim them (conditioned living entities). But they are so stubborn, they will not give up this habit
- Krsna consciousness begins from the tongue, not from the eyes. Some rascals want to see Krsna. They will see that Guru Maharaj-ji. You see? Such rascals will see that so-called Krsna
- Krsna consciousness is not sentiment. It is not that some sentimental people have gathered here and dancing and chanting. No. There is background. There is philosophical background
- Krsna consciousness is on the spiritual platform. It has nothing to do with the material platform. From the material platform you cannot change anyone's quality
- Krsna consciousness is the most important subject of the present-day society. The responsible men who are leading the society, the president, or the secretaries, or the mayor, they should have intelligence to understand
- Krsna consciousness means . . . the simple thing is that you chant Hare Krsna. But if you think yourself as very learned, thoughtful man, and you want to understand through science and philosophy, all right, come on. We have got books. Learn it
- Krsna consciousness means the more you become active in Krsna conscious, the more you become joyful. Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). That means your real life becomes revealed, joyful life
- Krsna consciousness movement is going on all over the world with the . . . especially with the assistance of my American and European disciples
- Krsna consciousness movement is not a new thing that we have introduced or manufactured. No. It is authorized on the Vedic principle, authorized by acaryas like Caitanya Mahaprabhu and all other acaryas
- Krsna consciousness movement is very scientific, authorized. Try to understand Krsna. We have got so many literature. Don't waste a single moment
- Krsna consciousness movement means it is an endeavor to bring the rascals and fools and atheists to the platform of Krsna consciousness, the most important welfare activities in the human society
- Krsna consciousness movement means we are trying to serve the acaryas. Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His direct disciples, the Sad-gosvamis, and their disciples. Rupa-raghunatha-pade haibe akuti. That is required
- Krsna consciousness, you just imagine how important movement it is. It is the best welfare activities for the human society
- Krsna consciousness, you just imagine how important movement it is. It is the best welfare activities for the human society. They are all fools and rascals, and they have no knowledge, ignorant of their constitutional position
- Krsna did not encourage him that you should stop fighting. Rather Arjuna was trying to stop fighting. Krsna said, - No. You are ksatriya. You cannot stop fighting
- Krsna does not belong to this material world. Krsna is parah puman. He is also purusa, He is also controller, but not the controller like Lord Siva, Lord Brahma, Indra, Candra, or president this, president that
- Krsna does not say that ordinary scholar or so-called philosopher can understand. Only the rajarsayo viduh. So Arjuna is one of the rajarsis. So he understood Krsna
- Krsna does not say that you become a sentimental devotee. These European and American boys, they are dancing not by sentiment. That is actual transcendental ecstasy
- Krsna first of all slapped Arjuna: "You do not know what is the fact, and talking like a very learned man. Just try to understand what is truth." First thing is that, we never die
- Krsna fulfilled their desire in the vastra-harana. Because a woman can become naked only before husband. That is Vedic
- Krsna gives you opportunity how you can live peacefully here. But that does not mean that you make your permanent settlement here. Then you are doomed
- Krsna had sixteen thousand wives. But not like us, having more than wife: one wife is crying and another wife is enjoying. No. He also expanded Himself in sixteen thousand forms. Every wife is enjoying the husband. That is Bhagavan
- Krsna had to conquer such queen by fighting. They're not ordinary wife. But still, they say that "In this way I have become maidservant." So everyone is maidservant. We are also maidservant, prakrti. Prakrti means female
- Krsna has agreed to be dressed by you. If you think of Krsna, about His virat-rupa, you will fail to bring dress for that virat. His head is on the sky; His another leg is on the Patala. That is also true
- Krsna has explained this material world, bhumir apah analo vayuh. This is also nature, prakrti. There is another nature, prakrti. Prakrti means stri-linga, woman. Jiva-bhuta, the living entities, are not mentioned in this connection as purusa. Not purusa
- Krsna has got creative power; we have also got creative power. In this way, compare anything. Krsna has got independence, full independence, we have got independence, but not full independence. So that is the difference
- Krsna has got different venues of rendering service. You can serve Krsna in so many ways. We have got three venues: by working, karmana; by thinking, manasa; and by speaking we can do things
- Krsna Himself certifies this place duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). It is a place for miserable condition of life. Now, how you can make it a happy place? That is not possible
- Krsna Himself is guiding him and becoming the chariot driver, and He saw that "Arjuna is declining fight?" He became surprised. So He chastised him, - So this is not for a gentleman, business. You are behaving like non-Aryans
- Krsna Himself is on the battlefield and He is trying to induce Arjuna. Arjuna is declining, and He is inducing, "No, you must fight." Yad yad acarati sresthah (BG 3.21). So we have to follow the footprints of great personalities
- Krsna Himself says. Ksipram bhavati dharmatma sasvac-chantim nigacchati. Santi means he very soon he attains that perfect eternal happiness. Perfect peaceful life, eternal life, blissful life, he very soon attains
- Krsna informed that "This heat is due to the Asvatthama's release of brahmastra," and Arjuna was advised, "Counteract it." Now they do not know how to counteract this nuclear weapon. Formerly they knew
- Krsna instructing Arjuna that, "you simply act for Krsna, or God," tad-artham, "not for any other purpose." Don't create your action. Simply act according to the direction of the Lord. Then you will be freed from the reaction of your act
- Krsna is accepted higher authority not only by us, by big acaryas like Sankaracarya, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, those who are guiding our Vedic life in India, Caitanya. So Krsna is accepted the highest authority
- Krsna is acting everywhere by His energy. This kala, this time, is another form of Krsna. Just like Krsna has got various forms, advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam - Bs. 5.33
- Krsna is addressing Arjuna purusarsabha, the best of the men. "O the best of the men." Certainly, Arjuna is the best of the mankind. Because he is directly friend of Krsna, who can be better man than him?
- Krsna is admitted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead by all the bona fide acaryas. And all scholars up to date, everyone, and confirmed by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Krsna is already there within your heart. You are also there. If we simply connect or link with Krsna, that is called yoga. Yoga means connecting the link
- Krsna is also very kind. If you chant seriously, without offense, even the mental condition at the time of death is disordered, Krsna will help you how to chant without any offense. The only qualification is that we must be very sincere
- Krsna is always trying. He's coming Himself as the Supreme Lord, He's coming as a devotee, He's sending His representative simply to canvass to come to the cintamani-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vrksa (Bs. 5.29), where there is eternal happiness, desire trees
- Krsna is analyzing Himself, that "All these material energies, eight kinds of material energies, they are inferior quality
- Krsna is asking me to tell lie. "Yes, I shall tell lie." That is bhakti. If I consider, "Oh, I never spoken lies in my life. How can I speak lie?" that is not bhakti. Because it is pratikula, against Krsna's desire. Common people cannot understand this
- Krsna is cent percent perfect. We can become minutely perfect, seventy-eight percent. These are all analyzed by the Gosvamis
- Krsna is cetana, living force. We are also living force. So in that way, we are one in quality
- Krsna is equal to everyone. Samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu (BG 9.29). Otherwise, how He is God? If He is partial to somebody, then He is not God. He must be equal
- Krsna is just like sunlight, and maya is just like darkness. So what darkness will do in sunlight? You keep yourself in sunlight, darkness will fail to act upon you. This is the whole philosophy of Krsna consciousness
- Krsna is kind to the nondevotees also. Whatever he wants, He will give him. But the necessities of the devotee is the first consideration for Krsna
- Krsna is more anxious to reclaim us from this miserable condition of life than we are, because we are sons of Krsna
- Krsna is never allured, neither Krsna is become a victim of anything material. Krsna's position is different. That is stated in the Isopanisad, apapa-viddham
- Krsna is not different. Krsna's book, Krsna's words, Krsna's name, Krsna's fame, Krsna's glory, Krsna's entourage - everything in relationship with Krsna - that is Krsna
- Krsna is not easy that to understand. But He is so kind that He is explaining Himself. One who takes this explanation of Krsna and understand Him, he becomes perfect
- Krsna is not for the Indians or for the Americans. He's for everyone. Anyone who desires to serve Him, He'll give him intelligence
- Krsna is Para-brahman, but He is also seeking happiness with Radharani and the gopis and the cowherds boy and the cows and the calves
- Krsna is person, and whatever He orders, whatever He says, if we carry out faithfully, then our original constitutional position is regained. It can be done very quickly
- Krsna is present in everyone's heart, localized. This is impersonal expansion. Just like sunshine is impersonal expansion of the sun rays, so similarly, Brahman effulgence is the impersonal expansion of Krsna's bodily rays
- Krsna is ready to give you instruction. The spiritual master is ready. Why should you do at your whims, and do something wrong and go to hell?
- Krsna is so full that even Krsna expands million times, still, He's the same thing, Krsna. That is Krsna. Krsna is person. And even He expands, Krsna, in many ways. This is the fine philosophy
- Krsna is so kind that He gives His book, Bhagavad-gita, He sends His representative, He comes Himself as Lord Caitanya to deliver us; He sends Lord Jesus Christ. So, so many arrangement, but we don't take advantage. We are so fool and sinful
- Krsna is supposed to be doing something according to our material calculation, killing somebody. Or Krsna is dancing with other's wife. According to material calculation, this is not allowed
- Krsna is Supreme Spirit. Therefore we are one in quality, but Krsna is the Supreme
- Krsna is the original spiritual master of Lord Brahma, of Lord Siva, Narada, so many other authorities. There are twelve authorities, svayambhur naradah sambhuh - SB 6.3.20
- Krsna is the supreme authority, accepted by all acaryas. In our India the acaryas are Ramanujacarya, Sankaracarya, Madhvacarya. They all accepted Krsna, the Supreme
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Arjuna knows that, "I am not controller; I am controlled." He is devotee, he knows his position. Therefore he is now trying to control Krsna. He is ordering Krsna
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He became bankrupt, that "My dear gopis, it is not possible for Me to repay your debts which you have created by loving Me." So that is the highest perfection of love. Ramya kacid upasana vraja-vadhu
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He refers to the Vedanta-sutra. Brahma-sutra-padais caiva hetumadbhir viniscitam (BG 13.5). So we cannot go beyond the sastra. We must follow
- Krsna is there already, just like friend. Krsna is always ready to give us instruction so that we can get out of this miserable condition of life
- Krsna is there, everyone's heart. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati (BG 18.61). Krsna is not far away. But you have to search out where is Krsna within your heart. That is called yoga
- Krsna is there, just like the master is there and many workers are there also. The master speaks to the important persons, not to the ordinary person. Similarly, the master is there in everyone's heart
- Krsna is within the core of heart of everyone. He knows what I want. He's giving us facilities
- Krsna is within yourself, and Krsna is without. But we do not see Krsna. The example is, nato natyadharo yatha (SB 1.8.19). Nata, a dramatic player, is dancing on the stage, and his son or relative seeing, he cannot understand
- Krsna is wonderful undoubtedly. Who can become more wonderful than Krsna? Mattah parataram nanyat (BG 7.7). Always remember, Krsna is wonderful
- Krsna lives in the spiritual sky, beyond this material sky, very high, and Krsna-loka, the planet of Krsna, is the topmost planet in the spiritual world. That is stated in the Brahma-samhita, goloka-namni nija-dhamni tale ca tasya - Bs. 5.43
- Krsna performed the rasa dance. At the midnight many young girls came by hearing His flute, and He danced with them. This is, from Vedic standard, it is not very moral
- Krsna personally comes to canvass. Because we are all Krsna's children, He's very sorry that we are in this miserable condition of life. He's very sorry
- Krsna personally presented this Bhagavad-gita, He's speaking, and it is the duty of every Indian to carry this message
- Krsna personally says, catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma (BG 4.13). The varnasrama must be there. The whole aim is how to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because the Supreme Personality of Godhead has to be satisfied
- Krsna relieves me from all kinds of sinful activities, then where is my miserable condition of life? Miserable condition of life is for them who are enjoying or suffering
- Krsna said that, "We existed in the past." This is authoritative statement. So it is to be understood that I existed in the past in different body
- Krsna said to the gopis that "You have to be satisfied with your own business. I cannot return you anything for your love." Krsna, the Supreme, the all-powerful, He was unable to repay the debts for the gopis
- Krsna said to the gopis that - I have no power to repay your debt. You be satisfied with your own activity. I cannot give you anything
- Krsna said, - Yes, there are innumerable Brahmas. You are only four-headed. There are eight-headed, there are sixteen-headed, thirty-headed, sixty-four-headed, hundred-twenty-eight-headed, and millions of headed. So all right, I am calling them all
- Krsna said: "Yes, millions and millions of times I also appeared, and you also appeared. The difference is that you do not remember; I remember." That is the difference between God and ordinary living entity
- Krsna says (He is Supreme Brahman), and He is confirmed by Vyasadeva, Asita, Narada. This is the process. We do not accept everyone says: "I am avatara," "I am God." We don't accept. But because it is accepted by the acaryas, therefore we accept
- Krsna says aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayis . . . - Because you are giving up all other duties, don't think that you'll be liable to punishment. I'll give you protection
- Krsna says anyone, without any stoppage, twenty-four hours, if one is engaged in devotional service, avyabhicarini bhakti-yogena ya sevate, serving Krsna, then he is no more in the guna-sangah
- Krsna says in the beginning, dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge: "I come down just to reestablish the principles of religion." What is that religion? Not this Hindu religion, Muslim religion, Christian religion
- Krsna says knowledge means one must know this is my real, acute miserable condition of life, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam (BG 13.9). This is knowledge
- Krsna says personally man-manah: "Always think of Me." Not only that, anyone who is thinking of Krsna always, twenty-four hours, Krsna gives him the certificate - the topmost yogi
- Krsna says something, and I understand something. That you go on with your millions of years; it will never be possible. You have to understand Krsna as He says. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. That is real understanding
- Krsna says that "Don't be attracted by pious activities; neither go down to abominable condition of life. Simply capture Me." Mam ekam saranam vraja. That is the whole instruction of Bhagavad-gita.
- Krsna says that "I shall explain to you jnanam, theoretical knowledge, with practical experiment." Not that you have to accept this knowledge blindly. Practical experiment
- Krsna says that "I spoke to sun-god." So by hearing this sruti, we understand that there is also life and there is also system, the government, the chief executive
- Krsna says that "If I do somebody special favor, then I make him poverty-stricken. I take away all his means of sense enjoyment." You see? That is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Krsna says that "You surrender to Me, and you'll be free from maya." Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam sara . . . aham tvam (BG 18.66): "I'll give you protection." Mam eva ye prapadyante (BG 4.11). The same thing, whole instruction, is there
- Krsna says that - These foolish creatures, mudhah, who are thinking that 'We shall work for sense gratification,' they are mudhas
- Krsna says that He comes, He descends, with two purposes: paritranaya sadhunam (BG 4.8), to give relief to the pious, to the righteous, and to vanquish the miscreants, and to establish the real religious principle
- Krsna says that stop work means stop working this nonsense work. What is that nonsense work? This material activities - sense enjoyment - it is nonsense. Why nonsense? Because it is animalistic
- Krsna says that sukham atyantikam. Atyantikam means the superhappiness, that which you cannot excel more. That is the final point. That sort of happiness is not possible to achieve
- Krsna says that sukham atyantikam: the supermost happiness can be achieved not by these senses, but atindriya. Atindriya means transcendental senses
- Krsna says that this place is full of miseries. To get that one million dollar you have to undergo so many miserable condition of life
- Krsna says that you have got intelligence. "You consider. I have spoken to you. Now you use your intelligence and do whatever you like." Krsna does not deny your intelligence. There is no meaning
- Krsna says that, "If I do not place the ideal life, then the population will be sankara." Sankara means unwanted; creating disturbances always. There will be no peace in the world
- Krsna says that, "These material energies are inferior," apara. Just like in everything within our experience, we have got inferior quality and superior quality
- Krsna says that, "You give up your nonsense manufactured religion. Here is religion. Surrender unto Me." Who will deny? Any religious person will accept it. Who will deny? This is dharma
- Krsna says that, - You have solved all the problems of miserable condition of life. That is all right. But you should always keep in front these problems, prominently - janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- Krsna says the third one, third one is to be considered more fortunate, third one, who has got his birth in the family of a yogi
- Krsna says, "Anyone who takes shelter of Me, never mind what he is. He may be lowborn, he may be a sudra, he may be woman, he may be whatever he may be." - He can also go to My kingdom
- Krsna says, "Generally, mass of people, they are ignorant. They perform some religious rituals, knowingly or unknowingly, as a matter of superstition or custom." But one who is intelligent, he should know that - By this sacrifice, I must get the result
- Krsna says, "Give Me foodstuff prepared from this group." That we do. Accepting that the fruits, they have got life. There are many fruits, it is offered by the tree for eating. The tree's not killed
- Krsna says, "These gross and subtle elements, they are inferior energy. Apareyam itas tu viddhi prakrtim me param: "There is another, superior energy." What is that superior energy? Jiva-bhuta, the living entity
- Krsna says, "You simply always think of Me, Hare Krsna." Not difficult. Krsna has given you the tongue. Every one of you can chant Hare Krsna. You have no expenditure, but great gain
- Krsna says, - No. You must be dutiful. Never mind who is that, your grandfather or your teacher. You are a ksatriya. A ksatriya has no other consideration in the fight. He must fight
- Krsna says, aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami (BG 18.66). Krsna says, "All the sinful reaction of the surrendered soul . . ." So spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. So he has also to accept
- Krsna says, brahma-sutra padais caiva hetumadbhir viniscitam. You take Vedanta-sutra; you study from the authoritative sources. Then your life becomes perfect. And take the . . . carry this message all over the world
- Krsna says, dharmaviruddhah kama aham, "Which is not against religious principle, that kama, that kind of lust, I am." But not for other purposes
- Krsna says, duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15): "This place is simply for miserable condition of life." Duhkhalayam asasvatam. - And still, it is temporary
- Krsna says, even if you go to the Brahmaloka, that is also not security that you get rid of the four principles of material life, birth, death, old age and disease. A-brahma-bhuvanal lokah punar avartino 'rjuna. Again coming down
- Krsna says, jnanam te 'ham sa-vijnanam (BG 7.2): "I'll speak to you about jnana." Everyone is in ajnana and falsely thinking that he is some very important person. This is ajnana
- Krsna says, mad-bhakta-pujabhyadhika (SB 11.19.21). If somebody worships a devotee, that worshipment is more valuable than worshiping Krsna. Krsna says like that.
- Krsna says, man-mana bhaktah; you say: "You become Krsna's bhakta." Actually we are doing that. We are not doing any miraculous thing
- Krsna says, most authoritative statement, and giving the example, dehino 'smin yatha dehe kaumaram . . . (BG 2.13). So how you can check this dehantara
- Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (Bg. 18.66). If you come to that stage of life, then you are dutiful. Otherwise, if you create your duties as monkey, that is not duty
- Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. Don't create, manufacture, your principle of religion, concocted. That is the difficulty
- Krsna says, vistabhyaham idam krtsnam ekamsena sthito jagat (BG 10.42): "The whole worldly affair is going on because I am there." Vistabhya: "I have entered into it." Don't you read in the Bhagavad-gita? Then
- Krsna says. You'll have to change this body. It may be for fifty years, sixty years, utmost hundred years, but still, you have to change this body. Therefore asat
- Krsna says: "Anyone who comes under My shelter, never mind he is the lowest of the lowest, lowborn . . ." The striyo vaisyah . . . formerly, even the woman and the mercantile community and sudras, they were also considered as papa-yoni
- Krsna says: "Even in future also, we shall continue to exist like this. You are individual. You are Arjuna. I am Krsna. And all other living entities" That is real understanding
- Krsna says: "I spoke." So it is millions and millions, at least, four hundred thousand millions of times, millions of years ago, according to the calculation of Manu. So Krsna said millions and millions of years ago this Bhagavad-gita He remembers
- Krsna says: tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13). So similarly, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). This is authoritative statement of God, and practically we see that we get one body after another, but I continue. So where is the objection
- Krsna science means full spiritual knowledge. That is accepted by the acaryas
- Krsna spoke Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna not for Arjuna. He came for everyone, because He loves everyone. Everyone is son
- Krsna took the wheel of the chariot and came before him that, - Bhisma, you stop this fight, otherwise I'll kill you
- Krsna took up one of the wheel of the chariot and came before, "Now, Bhisma, you stop this fighting; otherwise I will kill you." Bhisma at once gave up his arrow, and he offered, - All right. Kill me
- Krsna wanted to fight; the devotee is prepared, "Yes, I shall fight You." And He'll kill you. "This is my pleasure." This is devotee
- Krsna wants this, that - These rascals they are suffering in this material condition of life, three miserable condition, and still, they are so rascal, they do not come to their senses
- Krsna was so friendly and very loving friend, not ordinary friend. Therefore Krsna said - My dear Arjuna, don't be disappointed because you cannot execute this astanga-yoga. The first-class yogi is he who always thinks of Me
- Krsna was there. So Brahma is admitting that this Krsna is parabrahman sanatanam. So we have to take evidence from the authorities. There are twelve authorities according to sastra. Brahma is one of the authorities
- Krsna will give you chance: "All right, if you have got still desire for material enjoyment, do it." "I want to become a king." "All right, become a king." Then "I want to become a dog." "All right, become a dog." He gives you both opportunity
- Krsna's appearance does not mean that He has become different. The nice example is set here by Baladeva Vidyabhusana: just like a valuable stone. You take in your hand, you find sometimes yellow, sometimes red, sometimes white, like that
- Krsna's name, form, quality, etc., is not understood by these blunt senses, so how it is to be done? Now, sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Again jihvadau: beginning from the tongue, controlling the tongue
- Krsna's pastimes, appearance and disappearance, is continuous and eternal. There is no stoppage
- Krsna's service begins from the tongue, because tongue has got two functions, namely to vibrate, to speak something, and to taste something. So you engage
- Krsna, for understanding of the common people, the highest truth of Vedic literature, the highest truth of Vedic literature is Krsna, and nothing else
- Krsna, I was mistaken. I forgot Your mastership, You are my eternal Lord. So I was bewildered. I was wandering. Now I have come to my senses. I surrender unto You sincerely. You accept me
- Krsna, or Visnu, has got many thousands of names. Any name will be profitable. That doesn't matter. But because we have to follow the footsteps of great personalities, great devotees, therefore, as we are following the footsteps of Lord Caitanya
- Krsna, this word, means all-attractive. Krsna is attractive to every living entities, not only human being, even the animals, birds, bees, trees, flowers, fruits, water
- Krsna-katha, talks about Krsna, you, either you understand it or not understand it, it doesn't matter, if you simply sit down to receive, give aural reception to such message, you become pious. Immediately
- Ksatriya is meant for give us protection, and the brahmana means to give us the ideal life, what is the goal of life, and sudras, they cannot do anything of these . . . therefore they are sudra
- Ksayaya jagatah ahitah (BG 16.9). Ksayaya means "For destruction and for mischievous condition." Therefore, despite all advancement of so-called scientific knowledge, the world becoming more and more in dangerous and destructive condition
- Ksirodakasayi Visnu has a planet within this universe near the polestar. And from that Ksirodakasayi Visnu, the expansion Paramatma is distributed in everyone's heart
- Kuruksetra is still there, and it is a dharma-ksetra. From Vedic order, Kuruksetra is dharma acaret. Still, people go there by thousands and by millions as pilgrimage. So where is the difficulty, dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre, unless you make difficulty
L
- Last and ultimate feature is Krsna's personal body, sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah. Vigrahah means form. That form is not like ours. That is sat, cit, ananda
- Last night you were present in the meeting? Read our books very carefully, and as soon as there is some doubt, inquire
- Law, if there is change . . . actually, there is no change. There cannot be change. Real law means there is no change
- Laws of material nature means karma. You act in certain way and you get the result, good or bad; that is called karma. Sat-karma or asat-karma
- Lazy fool is better than the active fool. Just like the monkey, it is active fool. In the Western country, you don't see many monkeys. But in India, there are many monkeys. As soon as a monkey will come, he will create some mischief
- Leaders are blind, and they are leading blind men. Society is in chaotic condition
- Learned sage, by his experience he is saying that after studying all Vedic literature, Upanisads, Vedanta, Puranam, four Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, volumes of literature, so the conclusion is that, "O my dear Lord," - You are the only ultimate shelter
- Leg can walk, but leg cannot do the work of brain. So at the present moment we have got all walking men, no brain. Therefore the society is in chaotic condition
- Less than sudra, the candala, they are taking the part of ksatriya or brahmana or vaisya. That is the effect of this Kali-yuga. Therefore it is very lamentable. One must be trained up
- Let Krsna pass any amount of stool and urine. We have nothing to do with that. So let there be external energy
- Let the earth go to the earth. Let the water go to the water. Let the fire go to the fire. Let this ether go to the ether, because this is combination of earth, water, fire, so disperse it
- Let them remain in their position. We don't disturb. Sthane sthitah sruti-gatam tanu-van-manobhih (SB 10.14.3). Simply they will kindly give their aural reception what we are speaking
- Let us dissolve this so-called nationality; accept this whole planet belonging to us, all the human being, animals, birds, beasts, trees, as they are on this planet, - if we accept this philosophy, there is no question of chaotic condition of the society
- Let us follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita as it is, our life will be perfect. That is a fact. Don't divert your attention here and there
- Let us get this chance. Simple method. So we'll go. Let us go everywhere, hell or heaven. It doesn't matter. Let us have this chance and speak something about God. That's all
- Let us go on, one court after another, one court after . . . if there is fight, we must be prepared to fight. If required, take Setterji. He'll help
- Let us perform this sacrifice (sankirtana) with patience and perseverance, with steadiness, and then surely we shall achieve the desired result, spiritual salvation
- Let us try to render service to Krsna very sincerely. Even a drop will never go in vain, nitya. In this connection Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's prayer, ayi nanda tanuja kinkarama patitam mam . . . is very instructive
- Liberation means who come to the platform of real knowledge. That is the definition given in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Life also came from life; matter also came from life. That is explained in the Vedanta-sutra: janmadyasya yatah. And it is explained in BG also: aham sarvasya prabhavah (BG 10.8). So there is no difficulty
- Life has become so changed that in this age actually what is called yoga, it is not possible. First condition is that ekaki yata-cittatma: he should remain alone, he should perform yoga system alone, not in . . . with friends and many other yogis. No
- Life is to utilize the energy for perpetual happiness. They do not know that there is some perpetual happiness, there is perpetual life. They are so ignorant. Therefore they are trying - Whatever happiness can be had here, just enjoy
- Like a bird. He can fly in the sky without any mechanical arrangement. He has got the potency. You cannot. If you want to fly in the sky, then you have to make some machine
- Like a chaste woman has got good reputation, similarly, a chaste tongue . . . chaste tongue means . . . chaste tongue and ear. Jihvadau. Our spiritual life begins from tongue
- Like a child learns to eat, little, little. Otherwise there will be no more food. Therefore dharma is required to stop this miserable condition of life. That is real dharma
- Like a dog, when it serves a nice master, he's happy. Otherwise, it is street dog. Nobody cares for it. Street dog
- Like a man fallen in the dark well, so it is sure death, atma-ghatam. Unless we are very cautious, this grha-andha kupam, this family life, is very dangerous for spiritual advancement
- Like a man is fallen in a dark well. He's crying, "Save me, save me," and one man drops a rope, "Please catch it, I'll save you." If you don't catch, then whose fault it is
- Like a person resigns from an inferior quality of service and accepts a superior quality of service, similarly, our prayer to Krishna is to give us relief from the inferior quality of service to Maya
- Like a police constable is working under the direction of magistrate or superior officer, similarly, prakrti is giving us various types of miserable condition of life directed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Like Haridasa Thakura, he's sometimes called Yavana-Haridasa. He's not yavana. He is hundred times, thousand, million times better than brahmana. But because he is born in a Muhammadan family, he was, another name
- Like I have taken some poison. Now you go to a doctor, he gives you medicine. The poisonous effect is finished, or gone. You are now free. And just after coming from the doctor's house, again you take poison, and again go to the doctor
- Like on the sea, you are in the boat. You are transcendental. But the boat can merge into the water any moment unless you are very carefully playing it
- Like state affairs going on, but ultimate aim is to keep the government satisfied. Then you'll get everything nicely
- Like Sukadeva Gosvami, you should hear patiently, submissively, with service and question. So in that way Maharaja Pariksit attained salvation in seven days
- Like the cats and dogs and hogs, they cannot understand that what miserable condition of life they are pulling on, similarly, a human being is called rational animal
- Like the Hawaii university students, "What is the wrong to become a dog?" So if you think like that, then you become a dog. Nature is ready to give you a dog's body. That is vasana
- Like the Nalakuvara; they were taking bath naked without caring for Narada. All right, you become naked for one hundred years
- Like there is no existence of horse egg, similarly, even if you attain that higher planetary system, what do you gain by that? You don't gain anything, because the four principles of material existence will continue there also
- Like this Dayananda. He did not care for anyone. He became acarya. He started.
- Like we get some palatable foodstuff - we eat up to the neck. No. Krsna is atmarama. Krsna has no hunger. Even if He is hungry, He can fulfill it Himself. He doesn't require your help
- Like we send our children to school, college, to teachers for reforming. That is reformation. The animals, they are unable to accept this reformatory process
- Limited means if you understand that, "I am bound up. I am going round the law," that is all right. But don't say that - Beyond this limit there is nothing
- Liquor shop is licensed by the government. Does it mean the government is encouraging that, "You become drunkard"? But government is giving this license because there is a class of men who must drink
- Little flower, fruits, offering to the Deity, mad-yaji mam namaskuru. It is so easy. And by practicing this, Krsna says if you do this only, then mam evaisyasi, you come back
- Living entities' real identification is prahlada, blissfulness. But on account of material association, we are in miserable condition of life
- Loafer class, they should be trained up as sudras - in carpentry, in weaving. It doesn't require academic education. Simply make a skill. They'll learn
- Lord Buddha did not give them the information of the subtle body, or the soul. They are unable. Why they were unable? They were gross materialists
- Lord Buddha's philosophy is there is no acknowledgement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or any God
- Lord Caitanya also supported this philosophy of Krsna, that anyone is eligible for going back to the kingdom of Krsna. This simple process
- Lord Caitanya appeared on the phalguni purnima. Purnima means full moon, and phalguni means the month which is called Phalguna, which is calculated from 15th February to 14th March
- Lord Caitanya instructed him (Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami) that, - Don't be in a hurry, gradually Krsna will give you a chance to be aloof from these worldly affairs
- Lord Caitanya is going to explain the potency of the Lord - three potencies: spiritual & material and the marginal potency. How they are acting, throughout the whole cosmic manifestation, beyond that also, that very simple word, everyone can understand
- Lord Caitanya is so munificent that He has given us a, I mean to say, easy process. Otherwise Krsna consciousness is not easy. Because Krsna is the last word of Absolute Truth
- Lord Caitanya's direct disciples, Gosvamis, Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami, they also, the same disciplic succession, they also worship Krsna in that separation feeling
- Lord Caitanya's pastime is still going on, but some of the fortunate devotees, they can see. Anything, God's pastime, that is perceivable through devotional service. Bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55). Only. This is the process. No other process
- Lord Caitanya, when he was instructing Sanatana Gosvami, he began from this point: what is that real constitutional position of the living entity
- Lord Caitanya, who started this movement five hundred years ago in Bengal, India, He immediately informs you that our real identity, real constitutional position, is that we are part and parcel of Krsna, or God
- Lord Jesus Christ - he was God conscious, Krsna conscious, but he was not satisfied in himself. If he would have continued his God consciousness alone, he would not have met crucification
- Lord Jesus Christ also, he taught like that - "The humble and meek will attain the kingdom of God." Is it not said like that
- Lord Jesus Christ had some enemies, and Mahatma Gandhi had also some enemies so who killed him. So the world is such treacherous, even a sadhu, he has some enemies. You see
- Lord Jesus Christ is so tolerant that he was crucified; still, he did not curse anybody. This is sadhu: titiksavah, tolerant. The very great example of tolerance, Jesus Christ
- Lord Jesus Christ ordered, first order is, "Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not covet." Who is following
- Lord Jesus Christ said that, "You hate the sin, not the sinner." Not the sinner. This is very nice. Because sinner is illusioned. He's mad. If you hate him, then how you can deliver him
- Lord Jesus Christ said: "My Lord, hallowed be Thy name." He wants to glorify the name of the Lord. And some people says that there is no name of God. How? If Lord Jesus Christ says: "Hallowed be Thy name," there must be name
- Lord Jesus Christ said: "Thou shall not kill," and now they are interpreting, "Killing means murdering, human being." But that is not in the Bible
- Lord Jesus Christ says, "Thou shall not kill." Just imagine what the audience were. They are killers, so what they will understand about Krsna? Let them first stop this killing. Then the stage will come he'll understand what is Krsna
- Lord Jesus Christ says, 'Thou shall not kill,' and you are expert in killing. And you are still Christian? So you cannot understand what you have done? You have always misguided people. - I told him. So he was not very happy to hear this straight answer
- Lord Jesus Christ, he also preached the sense of God, or Krsna consciousness. It is the duty of devotee. It is the duty of good son of God, but those who are in the lower status, they have not developed such consciousness
- Lord Jesus Christ, he practically worked. So there is practical work. No question of going into the secluded place. We should remain in the congested city and preach this KC movement without being affected by this contamination of city life
- Lord Jesus Christ, he was crucified. Still, he was so tolerant he, at the time of crucification, he's praying to God, "My Lord, these people do not know what they are doing. Please forgive them." Just see how much tolerant. Titiksava
- Lord Jesus Christ, he's also devotee of Lord. Muhammad, he's also devotee of Lord. So it is not that because we are Krsna conscious, we shall unnecessarily decry any other parts, any other devotee
- Lord Jesus Christ, when he was being crucified, he was requesting God, "My Lord, please excuse them. They do not know what they are doing." This is the position of the devotee. Yes
- Lord Krsna says that "If I do not set example in My life, then there will be unwanted population." And actually that has become now in the present world
- Lord Krsna says that in order to reach to that stage (developed consciousness) of perfection, you should work. Your work should not be stopped
- Lord Krsna, He is teaching Arjuna directly the perfect form of yoga. If you actually want to perform the yoga system, then here is authoritative statement by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Lord Siva is also great devotee. Out of twelve great authorities, Lord Siva is one. Lord Siva, Lord Brahma and Narada. Svayambhur naradah sambhuh (SB 6.3.20). Svayambhuh means Lord Brahma
- Lord Siva is Vaisnava; he is the greatest devotee; he is the number one demigod - and everything is all right. But if you say that he is the Supreme, then he will feel insulted, that - What is this nonsense saying?
- Love between husband and wife will be disturbed as soon as there is no satisfaction of sex desires. Dampatye ratim eva hi
- Love between two persons, there must be exchange of loving feelings. These are the exchange of loving feelings. Unless the exchange loving feelings are there, that is not love. That is theoretical. That is not practical
- Love is deserved for Krsna, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So more we learn how to love the Supreme Lord, that is perfection of life
- Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling, then there is love; not by force. That is rape.Why one is called lover, another is called rape
- Love is there everywhere. Even in cats' and dogs' love there is love. But the perfection is when you actually find out the person to love and you actually do it
- Love is there, object of love is there, but it is misplaced. Therefore, we are not getting happiness. When it will be properly placed, love and the object of love, then we'll be happy
- Love is there. Unless there is love, you cannot work. That is not possible. So this is material way of life
- Love means without any motive. Ahaituki. And that, that love cannot be checked by any material impediments
- Lower than human being - animals, birds, beasts, trees, aquatics, insects - they have no privilege to inquire about the Absolute Truth. It is in the human form of life one can inquire about the Absolute Truth. Athato brahma jijnasa
- Lower than human being up to the animals, there are so many forms of life. Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati. In this way, varieties of life
- Lower than the human form of life, cats and dogs, they cannot understand what is spiritual pleasure. That is not possible
- Lust and love, that means the same thing is there. Simply one has to change the account. That's all. Lusty people, they are working on account of sense gratification, and lover of Krsna is working for Krsna's satisfaction
M
- Ma ya: "What you are accepting, that is false." This is called maya. So we are accepting, "I am this body," "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am black," "I am white," "I am thin," "I am fat." So this is maya
- Machine is there, but the floating is depending not on the mechanical arrangement, but on the pilot. Is there any disagreement? If the pilot is not there, the whole machine immediately will fall down. Immediately
- Mad-deva, that "Krsna, is my worshipable Deity only," this conclusion comes after many, many births of culturing knowledge, jnana, yoga, karma. It is not so easy. Therefore we have to take shelter of such person who has taken Krsna as the only shelter
- Madman, that should be treated. That is humanity. A madman, he has become mad, and "Get him out." No. Human society's duty is to treat him to become a sane man
- Maha-bhagavata required also as the head of the chief executive function. That is also required. Otherwise, how people will be happy? Every field, there must be maha-bhagavata
- Maha-Visnu has placed Himself in this material energy, maha-tattva, and by His nisvasa, by His inhaling and exhaling, the material energy is agitated. Then the three gunas are there. Then, by interaction, counteraction, the whole creation takes place
- Mahajana means authority. There are twelve authorities according to Vedic sastra. One of them is this Kapila
- Maharaja Pariksit was a great saintly King, he found out that he was going to die in seven days. So he sought out Sukadeva Gosvami a great saintly person and he asked him about what is the absolute truth. What is Krsna?
- Maharaja Pariksit was protected by Krsna. He could counteract it, but still, he tolerated that punishment, or the curse given by a Brahmin boy. He immediately resigned from his royal throne, handing over the charge to his son
- Maharaja Pariksit, as soon as he saw that a cow was being attempted to be killed, immediately he took his sword . . . "Who are you, nonsense? You are killing my citizen." This is good government
- Maharaja Yudhisthira ruled over the earth. Now, it is clearly stated, paridhyupantam: "Up to the limit of the seas." That means all the seas - the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the biggest oceans, the Indian Ocean. That means the whole world
- Maharaja Yudhisthira, the topmost pious person. His name is Dharmaraja, the king of religiosity. He is the eldest brother. And Bhima and Arjuna, they are devotees and so great hero. They can kill thousands of men. They're so powerful
- Mahim maha-bhagavatah sasasa, ruled over, a great devotee. It does not mean a great devotee is simply engaged in chanting Hare Krsna mantra. No. A great devotee may be the chief of the executive function of the state. He can become. That is required
- Main teaching, so far we read Bible, Jesus Christ said: "Thou shall not kill." But they are, you are . . . everyone is killing. That's all. The first commandment is violated
- Maintenance cannot be taken by anyone except by God. Therefore this material world is being operated in three departmental qualities: sattva, raja, tama. Sattva is maintenance. Sattva means goodness. Goodness is maintenance
- Make some nice building with some devotees, one to take care. That's all. Means making interested the local inhabitants
- Making discoveries means you do not know what is truth. But it is good credit for you that you are trying to advance. That's it. That we agree
- Male and female-two parts required, negative and positive. So the male part is Bhagavan, and the female part is the prakrti, and combination of purusa and prakrti is the varieties of creation. This is Sankhya philosophy
- Male, female, these two things. The supreme male is Krsna, and everyone, either this dull matter or the living entities, they are called female, prakrti. Prakrti means female, and purusa means male
- Mamaka, pandava. "My sons and my younger brother's sons, they assembled together for fighting." Yuyutsava. Yuyutsava means "with fighting spirit." And dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre, on the place known as Kuruksetra
- Man and animal, they have got common platform of these four principles of life: eating, sleeping, mating and defending. The only extra qualification of man is that he can come to understand what is Krsna and what is God. That is his special qualification
- Man is called purusa. Purusa means enjoyer. And the wife is called stri. Stri. Stri means woman, and stri means prakrti. Prakrti means which is enjoyed. The subject and the object
- Man is dangerous for both. I have given that: man is good, woman is good, when they come together - bad. Both of them bad
- Man is known by his company. - Your constant company is dog, so what you are? These are the way. Why they do not allow Europeans in the Jagannatha temple? Because they are untouchable
- Man wants that woman should be subordinate, faithful to him. Then he is ready to take charge. The man's mentality, woman's mentality different
- Management, that is in your hands. Who will give you management? You have to manage local - local men
- Many acaryas have commented on Bhagavad-gita - there is Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, even Sankaracarya - but never said that Bhagavad-gita is proof of nonviolence
- Many men do not go to the university & live peacefully. But that does not mean university is useless. Similarly, many men may not come to us, that does not mean this institution is useless. It has its importance for the serious men, not for the asses
- Many other sastras are there, but Bhagavad-gita is the beginning of spiritual life, A-B-C-D. So even if we do not learn the A-B-C-D of spiritual life, how our life will be successful in the mission?
- Many sannyasi: brahma satyam jagan mithya, "Brahman is truth and the world is false." They take sannyasa, and after some time they come to the hospital opening business. They come down again to politics, hospitals, philanthropy, welfare work. Why?
- Many so-called sannyasis, they rise to the brahma-pada, aham brahmasmi, but because they cannot stay there, they come down again to this material world and they are busy for opening hospitals, schools and philanthropism
- Marriage means to take full responsibility of a woman. That is real marriage, Vedic marriage
- Married man cannot be dishonest, because he has got responsibility. If he is arrested, he will be insulted in his family. His family members will be in difficulty. Therefore he does not commit dishonesty very easily
- Material calculation - this body we have got. When this body will be finished, it is finished forever. It will never come
- Material energy is there not by Krsna's own will. You want it, therefore there is. Is that clear?
- Material father is not material. Real father is Krsna. He may come in so many ways
- Material happiness means sense gratification. That's all. Actually, according to Bhagavad-gita... Not according to Bhagavad-gita - that is a fact according to any authoritative statement
- Materialistic class of men are undoubtedly very, very intelligent, but their intelligence is being used wrongly. Duskrtinah mudhah. Mudhah means rascal, ass
- Materialistic persons, they are satisfied with temporary happiness, and those who are transcendentalist, they are also seeking happiness, that is real happiness, spiritual happiness, eternal happiness
- Matir na krsne svatah. Svatah means by his personal mental speculation. Just like many philosophers are thinking to reach the Absolute Truth beyond this limitation. That is called svatah, by personal speculation
- Mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya (BG 7.7). The truth is there. They do not know. Half-educated. This is very good, "Truth is the . . ." We also say, but they do not know what is that truth
- Maya is always after this checking process. So we have to fight against the maya, then we come to Krsna consciousness. That fighting determination must be there
- Maya is controlled by Krsna; Krsna is never controlled by maya. That is not very good theory. That is due to poor fund of knowledge. Krsna cannot be covered
- Maya is not degraded. Maya is faithful servant of Krsna. She is faithfully serving. That is stated in the Brahma-samhita. You should read
- Maya will place so many impediments. She does not like that so easily you go back to home, back to Godhead. That is maya's business. Daivi hy esa gunamayi (BG 7.14). Just like police
- Maya's illusion, we are taking this miserable condition of life as happiness. This is called maya. But there is no happiness in this material world. Everything miserable
- Maya-sukhaya, that illusory happiness. And for that reason, they are making huge, gorgeous arrangement and working day and night, which will be zero
- Mayavada philosophy, that "At the present moment, I am under the control of maya, but as soon as I become free from the control of maya, then I become the Supreme," therefore they cannot answer - If you are Supreme, why you are under the clutches of maya
- Mayavadi theory is, "I am Krsna. I am God. Now I am overpowered by maya, & as soon as I become free from maya, again I become Krsna." But question is, - If you are Krsna or God, then why you became under the control of maya? What kind of God you are
- Mayavadi will say, "Then I am God. Because I am carrying the message of Krsna, therefore I am Krsna." No. Kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya. Not that he has become Prabhu, or God, but he is very dear servitor
- Mayavadi will think, "What is this? The God has become a cowherd boy? How it is? He must be very exalted. How it is that He is cowherd boy?" But he does not know the nature of the Lord. He's free. He loves everyone
- Mayavadi, at least they say that "There is Brahman. He is truth. But this phenomenal world is not truth. Manifestation of material energy, that is not true." So according to our philosophy, Vaisnava philosophy, we don't say that
- Mayayapahrta-jnana. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita. They are so-called educated, doctors, but actually they have no knowledge. Simply they are bluffing, cheating. Where is the question of creation
- Mean on the basic principle, the ahimsa paramo dharma, where is ahimsa? You have to kill. Either you kill vegetable or animal, you have to kill. Then where is the standing of ahimsa? That is my point
- Medical practitioners, they know it that heart is always pumping like this. Pumping like this. Now, can you produce heart action by artificial pumping? No. It is not possible
- Meditation is very profusely used in your country especially. But what is the meditation? When you fix up your mind to find out God, Krsna, within your heart, that is called meditation, not thinking some foolish objective is meditation
- Meditation means meditating on Visnu, on the Supreme Lord, this Visnu form, as you have got in my front. Meditation. That is called yoga
- Millions of moons together, they cannot be so peaceful and cool as the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. These examples are given in the sastra
- Mind is also material, and intelligence is also material, and the false ego, that "I am this material body," that is also material. Above this, the soul, the spirit, that is spiritual
- Mind is going out of my control. I want to think of Krsna, but mind is thinking something else. This is called yoga practice
- Mind is the master of the senses, or the chief man, just like superintendent. Mind is dictating the senses
- Mleccha means unclean. One who does not follow Vedic principles, he's called mleccha. Just like . . . as the Muhammadans say, kafir
- Modern age, the people are not very intelligent. They are advertising themselves that they are very much advanced. Actually, they are fools
- Modern medical science cut the abdomen and cut the part and clear it (stool), and again stitch it. That is appendicitis, so far I know - I am not medical man. There are so many diseases that is due to this non clearance of the intestines. You see?
- More work; more use your intelligence. Pranair arthair dhiya vaca: with life, with money, with intelligence, with words to serve Krsna. Etavaj janma-sa-phala tvam. This is the perfection of life
- Most of our preperation are made from milk products. Therefore we are so much fond of cow protection. It gives the basic principle of palatable foodstuff. But these people, they do not know
- Most of you, you are Buddhists. There are similarly Muhammadan scriptures, Christian scriptures. But in each & every scripture there is rules & regulation to follow to become more & more aware of the topmost principle, the original cause of all causes
- Most religions, they say: "We believe." So what is this "believe"? You may believe something which is not naturally correct
- Mostly we get our income by selling these books. We are selling books daily about $200,000 daily. That is our main source of income
- Mother Yasoda was chanting some mantras to protect Krsna, that "He may not be put into some calamity." They never understood that Krsna is the Supreme Personality. But their natural love for Krsna so intense
- Mountain, it does not stock water only, but from mountain you get so many minerals, huge quantity of minerals, jewels, gems. And from the samudra, or the ocean, and the seas you get large quantity of pearls, Mukta
- Mukti does not mean that I have got now one head, I will get four heads. No. This one head is sufficient, but it must be engaged for Krsna. That is it
- Mukti means liberation from the contaminated consciousness of this material world and to become situated in pure consciousness. And the whole instruction, instruction of Bhagavad-gita, is targeted to awaken that pure consciousness
- Mukti means svarupena vyavasthitih (SB 2.10.6), to be situated in one's original, constitutional position. That is Krsna consciousness
- Mukti means that we have lost our original, constitutional position. Because here Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that the real position of the living entity is that he is eternal servant of Krsna
- Mukti means to give up all these material desires and be situated in your original constitutional position, Krsna consciousness. That is liberation
- Mukti means when one gives up his engagement, activities, hitva anyatha rupam, identifying himself with something material, and he is engaged in his own original, constitutional position, and that is called mukti
- Mukti means when we give up our false engagements and we are engaged properly in our original constitutional position. That is called mukti
- Mukti means when we give up the service in designation and we are situated in our original constitutional position. That is called mukti, liberation, or salvation, whatever you like
- Mundaka Upanisad and Svetasvatara Upanisad, they are Vedas. There is statement that two birds are sitting on the same tree. The body is compared with the tree
- Mut son, he says, because he's less than mut. Because mut, I pass urine. The obnoxious thing, that is gone away. But it is present. (laughter) The bad smell is constantly giving me trouble. Mut-karma's there. So these are very instructive
- My appeal to all the sober men - to understand this Krsna consciousness movement and join it for the benefit of his personal self, for the benefit of his country, for the benefit of the whole human society
- My dear Aravindaksa, lotus-eyed Krsna. - Ye 'nye 'ravindaksa. "The persons who are thinking that they have become liberated, now they have become Narayana." They are thinking like that. Maninah means falsely thinking
- My dear Arjuna, the reason, the mission, for which I appear is now explained, that I come here to establish the real constitutional position of the living entities. That is My mission
- My dear Lord, I have served the senses in so many ways, even though abominable. But I find still they are not satisfied, and neither the senses are very kind to me. Because I have served so faithfully, still they are dictating and I am doing
- My dear Lord, these common people, my neighbors, because I am minister, and I'm supposed to be educated, I know little Sanskrit, Arabian language, they call me pandita, learned man, very scholar and versed. I, to tell You frankly, I do not know what I am
- My dear mind, you are working so hard. - In severe cold you are going to work. In scorching heat you are going to work. Torrents of rain, you cannot stop your work
- My dear Partha, you wanted to see with whom you have to fight. Now here is Bhisma, Drona & many other kings, all the descendants of Kuru dynasty, your Dhrtarastra's sons. Now you see very nicely & be prepared to fight with them
- My dear the best of the demons. - "I think that is very nice." What is that? - This worldly life, materialistic life, is self-killing just like a dark well. So one should give it up & go to the forest & take shelter of Krsna. That is the best way of life
- My dear Vyasadeva, you have compiled a great literature, Mahabharata. And in that Mahabharata you have introduced everything that is knowable for understanding
- My experiment with truth - Gandhi's movement. Truth is truth. "Experiment" means you do not know what is truth. It is a way of life. Everything is stated there, try to train them. Simple thing
- My father's eldest brother, he inquired, "Is your mother dead?" I consider like that. No, no . . . "So I am also dead." He died later on
- My form is so full of miserable condition of life that I have no ananda, blissfulness. But Krsna's form is blissfulness
- My Guru Maharaja used to say that it is better to become a sweeper and honestly earn one's livelihood than to become a false Bhagavata reader for earning livelihood. Yes. Because they'll mislead the whole public
- My Guru Maharaja used to say that there is no scarcity of anything within the world, the only scarcity is Krsna consciousness. Therefore this movement, spreading Krsna consciousness, is the highest welfare activity to the human society
- My Guru Maharaja used to say, "If I could make one person to be Krsna conscious, then my mission will be successful." It is not for mass conversion. Only the fortunate, they can do
- My Guru Maharaja, sadhu, a saintly person, immediately passes: "Yes. It is all right." It is all right. Because there is glorification of the Lord. Of course, general public will not understand. But this is the standard, standard version, spoken by Narada
- My idea is that Vedic knowledge is complete because it is above all doubts and all mistakes. And Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge
- My inefficiency of my eyes, I see that beyond this wall I cannot see. I say, "Oh, there is nothing beyond this wall." That is my lack of education. Not that there is nothing beyond this wall
- My intention was to start this movement. I was simply planning in different way. Therefore Krsna's favor
- My joyfulness is covered by this material understanding. So I have to remove this material understanding; then again I shall become joyful
- My magnitude is very, very small. That is also given in the sastra: kesagra-sata-bhagasya satadha kalpitasya, one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. That is my magnitude
- My manager supplied morphia preparation to an unlicensed doctor, medical practitioner. In India there are many so-called medical practitioners. They are compounders, and after . . . because there is scarcity of medical man
- My only prayer was that, "I don't care for this land (in Bombay), but You are seated there, I cannot tolerate this insult that You will be removed from there." So Krsna saved our face. He's still remaining there
- My only qualification was . . . When I was introduced to my Guru Maharaja for initiation, so Guru Maharaja immediately said, "Yes, I shall initiate this boy. He is very nice. He hears me very patiently. He does not go away." So that was my qualification
- My only request is that - you are all learned boys and girls - try to understand this philosophy and science, and you will be happy. That is my request
- My opinion is already there according to the . . . they should be chaste, faithful to husband. Little literary knowledge, they can read. That's all. Not very much
- My request is that I am working now with my American disciples and European disciples. Why not Indians? I think in this meeting there are many young men, educated, learned scholars. Join this movement
- My senses are always dictating me, "Oh, you take this. You enjoy this. You do that. You do that." And I am being driven by. We are all servants of the senses
N
- Na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). This is the authoritative statement, that I am not annihilated on account of my body being annihilated
- Na te vidhuh svartha-gatim hi visnum. Practically, the so-called civilized men at the present moment, they do not know what is the actual goal of life
- Naimisaranya meeting going on, all the big, big learned brahmanas, sages, they are talking how to do welfare activities to the human society
- Namanta eva: "Just become namra, humble, humble and meek." Lord Jesus Christ also said - The kingdom of God is for the humble and meek
- Narada is advising Vyasadeva; Vyasadeva is advising his disciple Madhvacarya; he is advising his disciple. This is Vaisnavism. They are not concerned for personal self
- Narada Muni advises that, "Induce everyone to be engaged in Krsna consciousness. Even if he falls down, there is no loss." This is the principle. If he becomes successful, oh, the greatest boon. That greatest boon is described in BG, highest perfection
- Narada, he's also saktyavesa avatara. In his previous life, he was a maidservant's son, but by the association of devotees, he rose up to this position, Narada
- Narayana is being worshiped by many thousands of goddess of fortune, sambhrama, with great fear. Just like Rukmini-devi. She is Laksmi-devi, and she was always afraid of Krsna that, - He may not leave me away
- Narayana is beyond this created, manifested cosmic manifestation, similarly Vedas also are like that. Don't think it is written by . . . It is called therefore apauruseya. Apauruseya means it is not written by any mundane creature
- Narayana may order, "Go to hell and preach." "Yes." Tulyartha. - Then if You send me in heaven or hell, I don't mind
- Narayana-parah, they are not anxious either to go to Svargaloka or to refrain from it. They are satisfied: "Wherever Krsna keeps me, that is all right. Never mind whether it is heaven or hell." Because he has got Krsna within him
- Narottama dasa Thakura advises us that, - You firmly catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda
- Narottama dasa Thakura confirms that "The lotus feet of Nityananda is not illusion; it is transcendental fact, satya." - And anyone who is engaged in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda, he is also transcendental
- Narottama dasa Thakura has described this Hare Krsna mantra, "not of this material sky." Golokera prema-dhana, hari-nama-sankirtana. Hari-nama-sankirtana, this is not a material sound
- Narottama dasa Thakura said this sound vibration is not this material sound. Krsna is not material sound. It is Krsna, spiritual
- Narottama dasa Thakura says that one who has actually received the causeless mercy of Nityananda, he has no more any material desire. That is the symptom. Samsara-vasana means desire for material enjoyment, when it will become very insignificant
- Narottama dasa Thakura says that this holy name of Krsna is imported from Goloka Vrndavana. It is not material sound. Golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. It is not ordinary sound. Don't take it as ordinary. That is naraki-buddhi
- Narottama dasa Thakura's songs are very appropriate just to the conclusion of Vedic injunctions. So he sings this song (Gauranga Bolite Habe), how one can rise up to transcendental plane for associating directly with Radha & Krsna, what is that process
- Nationalism, socialism, this "ism," that "ism" - but the action of the dog and hog and the human society, so-called civilized, the point is the same
- Natural love is between the husband and wife, but the wife goes somewhere and the husband goes somewhere else. Why? The basic principle is enjoyment
- Naturally, here in this material world, every one of us, we have come to enjoy. Material life means enjoyment. Enjoyment is not real enjoyment. Real enjoyment is spiritual enjoyment
- Naturally, if he comes to the temple, he'll offer some obeisances, he'll offer some flower, some fruit, mad-yaji. Even a child will offer namaskara. In this way he becomes devotee. And then he understands
- Nature has given us the opportunity now to enquire about the Absolute Truth. And what is that Absolute Truth? Because this is our only enquiry, that - What is the Absolute Truth, or the origin of everything
- Nature will not allow to the demons to flourish. No. That is not allowed. Tan aham dvisatah kruran ksipamy ajasram andha-yonisu (BG 16.19). The demons are always liable to be punished
- Neither God is nirakara, nor you are nirakara. We have got akara. The akara is also mentioned in the sastra. What is that? One ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair
- Neither in their principles there is service of God, there is dedication to God. Simply official in the so-called religion. Therefore Vrndavana dasa Thakura said, "These are all cheating religions
- Neither it is radio message or football club or so many things. No. It is meant for the common class of men. Srotavyadini rajendra nrnam (SB 2.1.2). Nrnam means common people
- Neither the people know that there is reincarnation, or transmigration of the soul after death. They do not know. So basically they are brainless. So they cannot give guidance, and therefore the whole society is in chaotic condition
- Neither we should be careless to take care of Krsna's property, Krsna's living being, Krsna's house, Krsna's temple, Krsna's business, everything Krsna's. If we think like that, then that is perfect Krsna consciousness
- Never be disappointed because people are not responding. You see? There are many good examples. When Lord Jesus Christ also preached God consciousness, only a few followers were there, & still, he had to sacrifice his life. But he was never disappointed
- Never consider that the Deity is made of stone or brass or wood or like that. Brass, wood, stone - everything is Krsna, because everything is Krsna's energy
- Never mind. Let them (children) be trained up as Krsna conscious, live comfortably, take milk. So which is better civilization? Running with motorcar, put-put-put-put-put-put-put-put and killing child? Is that civilization
- New York, I am coming here since 1965. I have got my temple. So I am going to London. So it is for the time being transit stoppage. Otherwise, I have got my temple here
- Next class (of men) is trying to be successful by material opulence, by earning money, the mercantile community. They are third class
- Next class: busy intelligent. Intelligence should be used very soberly. And the third class: lazy fool - lazy, at the same time, fool. And the fourth class: busy fool. Busy fool is very dangerous
- Nidesah is all right, but durni desah. So we are doing this life after life, dictated by the senses, which we should not have done. But we have done it
- Nitai has become over intelligent. "Please bless me I may find out a bona fide guru." He has written me
- Nitya-siddha means they never fall a victim of maya. Even though they are within this material world, they are never victimized. That is called nitya-siddha. And one who is victimized, he is called nitya-baddha
- Nivrtti-marga means stopping the material way of life and go to the spiritual world, back to home, back to Godhead
- Niyamagraha means not accepting the rules and regulation. Another meaning of niyamagraha means simply blindly following the rules and regulation, but he does not know for what he is doing that
- No argument that "Such stool is impure. Even my spiritual master's stool is also impure. How is that that animal cow dung is pure?" But because it is in the Vedas it is said pure, you have to accept
- No good man will say like that (You must have intoxication, take illicit sex life). That is the difference between good man and bad man
- No planets in the material universe is free from the four principles of material existence
- No responsible man will take that responsibility that, "I will kill this animal. Again he'll become a man and he'll kill me. No, no. Stop this business." So this is the process of restriction
- No, even physical. You cannot go out without government consent. And they don't allow, especially young men. They do not allow to go out of the country
- No, no. That is not the standard, that you do not like somebody, therefore he is not liked by others. That is not very good argument. That is applicable everywhere
- No, you cannot create God. God is one, already there
- Nobody becomes truthful to the enemy; he does not disclose the secret. But a brahmin is supposed to be so much truthful that if the enemy asks that "What is your position?" he will say, - This is my position
- Nobody believes Krsna is God. Even big, big leaders, what to speak of ordinary men. Especially the so-called educated men. - Bring money anyhow and enjoy life
- Nobody can be self-made anything. A medical practitioner, he cannot become self-made, that "I have studied all the medical books in my home." No
- Nobody can become a medical practitioner simply by purchasing book from the market and reading at home. That is not possible
- Nobody can claim. "I am the wisest man," nobody can claim, "I am the strongest man," that is also, nobody can claim. However one strong may be, he is under the rules and regulation of material nature. He cannot go beyond that
- Nobody can manufacture a police department and force you to obey. Because it is one of the important department of government, therefore as soon as there is police hands up, you have to stop
- Nobody can understand Bhagavad-gita unless he is a devotee of Lord Krsna. That is the first qualification. It is clearly said here (in BG 04.01). You cannot go beyond Bhagavad-gita
- Nobody goes to live for hundred years - say, seventy, eighty, sixty or something like that. Gradually it is reducing, and it will reduce twenty to thirty years
- Nobody goes to set fire in the forest, but it takes place. Similarly, this material world is also like that. Nobody wants, but still, miserable condition of life come in. Just like in Calcutta, nobody wanted the Naxalite disturbance, but it has come
- Nobody has gone. They have gone to the nearest planet, they say. I do not know whether they have gone at all
- Nobody has to go to university to learn how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sex life, how to defend. Nobody hasn't got to. It doesn't require education. It is already there. If you attack me, I shall immediately defend with my hand. You see? Natural
- Nobody is being guided by Jesus Christ. They're falsely claiming. It is very hard to find out a man who is actually being guided by Jesus Christ
- Nobody is educated, neither interested in the spiritual life. But unless you take interest in spiritual life, our this material condition of miserable life will continue
- Nobody is master here, but when we falsely claim that, "I am master," that is maya. Everyone is serving, but under the impression that he is master
- Nobody is serious to understand what is God and how to love Him. Nobody is serious. Therefore in Bhagavatam, it is said, it is cheating religion
- Nobody should give his own opinion. He must quote the authoritative statement to support his proposition
- Nobody wanted war, but there was Second World War. Again. And again they are trying to, the League . . . what is that? United Nations. But the war is going on. The Vietnam War is going on, the Pakistan War is going on, and many others are going on
- Non-Aryan means not civilized, and Aryan means civilized. This is the distinction. Now people are very much fond of calling themselves as civilized, Aryan, belonging to the Aryan family. Where is the Aryan civilization
- Not as a policeman but as a friend, He (Krsna) is recording that, - You want to do it? All right, I'll give you this facility
- Not blind faith. Perfect man is perfect. Unless you understand that he is perfect, don't hear from him. That is blind. Without knowing that he is perfect, if you hear, that is your imperfectness
- Not for money's sake, not for reputation sake, labha-puja-pratistha. Only for serving Krsna. Anukulyena krsnanu-silanam (CC Madhya 19.167). This is pure Vaisnavism. One has to satisfy Krsna. Not for any other purpose
- Not like to dance like cats and dogs with a nice dress. That is not human life. This is the subject matter of Bhagavad-gita, our whole Vedic instruction
- Not necessarily in every case the boy is rich man or educated. If he's healthy and if he can work, he'll take charge. Then fortune, faith
- Not only He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was a very learned scholar. . . He was young man, twenty, twenty-two years, but He was so popular that He could call 100,000 people at once to start this civil disobedience, His social position
- Not only he (Nehru). Later on, all the so-called educated persons, they took it for granted that "Whatever is done in London, that is first class, and whatever is Indian original, that is all bad." And they controlled the native princes. So many things
- Not only in Vrndavana; we have seen wherever we held that Hare Krsna festival, thousands of men were coming, even the so-called educated
- Not only simply reading, but when he realizes what is Brahman, then he is brahmana. Not easy, the stages. This Brahman is impersonal Brahman, and still, you have to go above
- Not only this earthly planet, but there are millions and trillions of planets within the sky moving. Seasonal changes, day and night, everything is going on. This is perfection. So those who are in divine nature, they can understand all these things
- Not only you, but the animals, the trees, the plants, the insects, the serpent, the aquatics, the fish - everyone the son of Krsna. This is daivi sampat
- Not that a particular man is spiritual master. Spiritual master is a truth. So what is that truth? The truth is samsara-davanala-lidha-loka-tranaya karunya-ghanaghanatvam
- Not that anyone can become acarya. He must give explanation of the Vedanta-sutra, prasthana-traya. There is system
- Not that anyone will come: "I am a sadhu." No. We must know by the characteristic of sadhu. That has been described
- Not that because he is born in that dog-eater's family he cannot become a brahmin. No. This is not the Vedic injunction
- Not that because it is impossible to become truthful, therefore truthfulness should be rejected altogether. No. One section must be there. That is the qualification of a brahmana
- Not that becoming religious I become richer, I become . . . I get so many material benefits. No. That is not
- Not that I am simply controller, but I am controlled by higher authority. So therefore I am not supreme controller
- Not that I have to study Krsna in my own way. Krsna is not subjected to your examination or your test. He is above all. He is transcendental. Therefore those who have not the transcendental vision, they misunderstand Krsna
- Not that simply woman is for enjoyment. Any palatable foodstuff which attracts my tongue, that is also
- Not that the chief executive or the government simply levies taxes from the citizens and let them go to hell. This is not good government
- Not that the man was not healthy. He has fallen diseased. You understand? When I say to become healthy, does not mean that he was not healthy
- Not that we are simply sentimentalists, simply dancing. Dancing is not sentimental; it is spiritual ecstasy. It is not ordinary dancing. This dancing is not ordinary dancing
- Not these camara, bhangis and sudras voted and become the president and minister. That will not be successful. That is not possible. There must be trained-up ksatriyas, then there will be good government
- Not to falsely think that I am American, I am Indian, I am cat, I am dog. That has to be finished. But you'll come to the real egoism, that I am eternal servant of Krsna
- Nothing belongs to us. There is no question of morality unless one surrenders to Krsna. Everything immoral for a person who is not Krsna conscious. Everything immoral
- Nothing should be accepted which is not recognized. You see? So this (harer nama eva kevalam) is recognized method. Now it depends on us. Let us follow this process and see how we are making progress in the spiritual path
- Nothing you can manufacture, even in the body. You are medical practitioner. Hundreds of men you see, different types of body. Is it not? You cannot say that - This is the standard
- Now by your talent you are producing nice food, but tilling the ground some way or other, by machine or there must be rain, so many conditions. But time will come when there will be no rain
- Now everyone is claiming, "I am God," but they do not know what is God. They are falsely claiming. But if you find out Parasara-sutra, there is definition of God
- Now He (Krsna) is in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrndavana. We cannot calculate where He is. How He's taking? This is material calculation
- Now I am engaged in Krsna's service. Krsna actually He'll be merciful upon me. He'll deliver me from this miserable condition of material life
- Now I am surrendering to Krsna, but for my defense I'm making another arrangement. - Then I have no faith in Krsna
- Now I have got all degrees, and unless I get a good master, then I am street dog. - That is sudra. Just like a street dog has no value unless he gets a good master
- Now I will eat two pieces of bread at night, and my wife will kick on my face." (laughter) Just see the ass. Therefore how Bhagavata has selected the specific animals, how they are suffering, very instructive
- Now people are coming to me, so I can become acarya. - That is avamanya. Navamanyeta karhicit. Don't transgress this etiquette. Navamanyeta. That will be falldown
- Now people has to know it (the best thing we are presenting). How to make it known? We have to go to the newspaper man, magazine man, to the Foundations. So one responsible . . . one? Why one? Two, three men must move amongst them
- Now read Bhagavad-gita very carefully, we will have examination next time. From Bhagavad-gita start our Bhakti Shastri
- Now the problem is the mother doesn't want children. You see? And to avoid children, they are killing. Regularly they are killing. So what is the use of this civilization?
- Now there is a great dangerous fight, why you (Arjuna) are saying like a nonsense, - anarya-justam, - like non-Aryan
- Now they (Presidency College and Scottish Church College) are ruined due to this Naxalite movement
- Now they are apprehending the appearance of a comet. So Krsna will appear just like a comet. Dhumaketum iva, Kalau ati karavalam. So that is the end of Kali-yuga, that people will be so mlecchacara, unclean habits
- Now they are coming to the dog's life. A dog, just like street, they have sex life. "This is advancement, that we have become now pure dog. So long it was hidden, now we are open." This is the civilization, animal civilization

- Our consciousness, when it is dovetailed with universal consciousness, then our consciousness also become universal consciousness
- Our death condition is for seven months only. As soon as I leave this body, at once I am injected into other's mother's body according to my karma
- Our death means a sleeping for seven months. That is the description we get from the sastras
- Our devotional service begins from the tongue. People will be, "How service begins from the tongue?" Yes
- Our difficulty, or miserable condition of life, is due to being under the material laws of nature. So it is very simple method, and you are all intelligent boys and girls in the Western country, and I am very happy that you have taken it seriously
- Our duration life is very short. If you study the statistics, you can see your forefathers who lived for hundred years or eighty years, ninety years. Now sixty years, seventy years people are dying. Gradually it will decrease
- Our European, American students, they are in new birth. They have given up their old birth practices. So birth is changed. Punar janma. So that is possible only by Krsna consciousness
- Our greatest success of life is how to love God, Krsna. Now you can do it. But there is prescribed method, given by great acaryas. Just like in this temple we are doing
- Our Harikesa was speaking that if they do not say there is life in Mars, then their whole propaganda will fail
- Our ideal is we are fighting with maya, so the fighting will conquer over maya when we see that we are not disturbed by these four processes: eating, sleeping, mating and defending. This is the test
- Our knowledge, our experience, experimental knowledge, everything will fail to understand the supreme controller. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja. Still you have to understand that
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is there. We say "consciousness." We don't say: "Stop fight" or "Do this, do that, do that," no. Everything should be done in Krsna consciousness. That is our propaganda
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is to clear that covered sense, or this colored consciousness, or adulterated consciousness. Then everything will be there
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is to spiritualize, re-spiritualize the whole thing - whole social position, political position, anything
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is trying to purify the people in general to the brahmana stage. Then they'll be, you'll be able to understand - Bhagavad-gita
- Our Krsna consciousness movement, bhagavata-dharma, it is not sentiment. We can explain how God created. Sometimes it is, in Bible, it is said: "God said, 'Let there be creation,' and there was creation." But they cannot explain
- Our leaders are blind, foolish. They are leading us to misuse this valuable life of human form. This is our position. They are misleading us
- Our leaders, rather, they are misinterpreting sastra, our leaders, and trying to mold it to the material way of life. This is the pity of the things
- Our line of action is not difficult - chanting sixteen rounds regularly, following the four restrictive principles, take prasadam, read books - we have got so many books - speak, discuss about the subject matter amongst yourself, and this is the process
- Our main source of income is the selling of these books. We are selling books daily all over the world, five to six lakhs' rupees
- Our mastership is relative. Under certain condition we become master, but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is master without any condition
- Our materialistic way of life is described as grha andha-kupam (SB 7.5.5). This family life is just like dark well. We are already in the darkness, and another darkness is to fall in the dark well
- Our miserable condition of life is due to our forgetfulness
- Our miserable condition of life is due to our material attraction, or papa, impious activities. Here it is confirmed that kevalaya bhaktya, agham dhunvanti kartsnyena: totally you can kill all reaction of sinful activities
- Our mission, human mission, is to come to the platform of amrtatvam, immortality. We have discussed this point. Amrtatvam, immortality
- Our modern activities are animal activities but in a polished way. But that does not make any difference between the animal propensity and so-called civilized life
- Our movement is on that platform, how to stop. Our whole Vedic culture is based on that process
- Our only shelter is Krsna. Krsna, krsna, krsna, krsna, krsna, krsna, raksa mam. Very dangerous position. The foolish people, they are thinking that "We are very happy and we are very safe." But nobody is safe
- Our only shelter is Nrsimha-deva. This world is very, very dangerous. Padam padam yad vipadam (SB 10.14.58). In every step there is danger. Every step there is envious creatures. You cannot live here peacefully
- Our original consciousness is Krsna consciousness, but somehow or other, being in contact with this matter, we have lost our Krsna consciousness. Therefore this movement is to revive Krsna consciousness. That is our original constitutional position
- Our original constitutional position is that we are eternal servant of Krsna. So as soon as we employ ourself in the service of the Lord, immediately we become liberated
- Our philosophy, we, following the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu: acintya bhedabheda-tattva. The difference is simultaneously we are one with God and different from God. One in quality. God is spirit, we are also spirit
- Our physical necessity is that we want to eat. That is necessary to maintain this body, ahara. Nidra, rest. We must have some rest also. So ahara-nidra-bhaya. Bhaya means "to become afraid of." That is material nature
- Our point is, the birth problem is not solved. If there are unwanted population, you kill them, that does not mean the population problem is solved
- Our position is forgetting God, we have been kicked out constantly by maya. The maya has given us the senses, and the senses are dictating us, "Do this, do that, do this, do that," and we have become servant of our senses
- Our pravrtti is to abide by the dictation of the senses, and when we learn not to abide by the dictation of the senses but to abide by the orders of Krsna or His representative, then your life are successful
- Our principle is to follow the footprints of authorities. So these things are not unauthorized. These are being followed from time immemorial. This dress, this tilaka, this chanting. Everything
- Our principle, Vedic principle, is to receive knowledge from the perfect. So-called scientists, so-called philosophers . . . because basically they're imperfect, how they can give you perfect
- Our problem is that we do not know what we are. Neither we know how to get out of the miserable condition of life. Therefore we have no intelligence. We are like cats and dogs. This is the conclusion
- Our process of knowledge is not any speculation: "It may be," "Perhaps." No. We don't accept this knowledge. "It may be," "Perhaps" - these are all foolishness
- Our process of knowledge, Vedic process of knowledge: tad-vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Their knowledge should be taken from the authority. Do not manufacture knowledge
- Our process of Vedic knowledge is how to surrender, not that I hear and I reject it. That is not the way. That is another rascaldom. First of all find out the person where you can surrender
- Our process of Vedic knowledge is that we get knowledge from the superior just like Lord Brahma
- Our propaganda is to train people how to become Krsna conscious, how to understand Krsna in truth so that next life, after giving up this body, you get your original, spiritual body, and you live forever with complete knowledge and blissful life
- Our proposal is that you take remnants of foodstuff taken by Krsna. Therefore we offer this foodstuff from food grains, fruits, vegetable, milk, we offer to Krsna, and you take the remnants of foodstuff
- Our puffed-up condition on account of this body is illusion, because I am not this body. Therefore brahma-bhutah, those who are self-realized, they are prasannatma. Any condition of life they are happy, jolly
- Our real business is that, - Why we are put into the cycle of birth and death, and according to the body we are suffering different types of miserable condition of life
- Our real constitutional position: to love God. We are loving also, in this fallen state, but not God - all non-God or some shadow God
- Our real miserable condition of life is birth, death, old age and disease. Where is scientific help to mitigate these miseries
- Our relationship in this material world, that either in the dress of woman or man, the mentality is purusa, how to enjoy
- Our request is that such a great science, for the human society, for understanding the problems of life, how to solve it, how to achieve the greatest success in life... We have got this in the Bhagavad-gita. Why should we neglect it
- Our request is, this Krsna consciousness movement, that you study Bhagavad-gita. Because Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge
- Our sampradaya is Brahma, Brahma-sampradaya. There are four sampradayas. We belong to this Brahma-sampradaya
- Our senses are so imperfect that simply by expanding the sense power artificially, speculating, we cannot realize. These are described in different way in different scriptures
- Our senses are so imperfect that we cannot see how many stars, how many planets there are in this material universe
- Our students are strictly forbidden to have illicit sex life or meat-eating or intoxication or gambling. These four things are strictly forbidden for our students. And they take it seriously
- Our svarupa, means original, constitutional position, is jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109), eternally servant of Krsna. So as soon as we place ourselves in our original place, then you are liberated immediately
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is to teach people how to engage the tongue in the service of the Lord. This is Krsna consciousness

- Our this movement is nothing new. It is oldest and authorized. So now if we can push on this movement, that is the greatest welfare activity in the human
- Our this movement is the prime welfare activities to the human society, loka-hitam. It is not a business. Business means my hitam, my benefit only. It is not. It is Krsna's business
- Our Vedic civilization, all the great acaryas, teachers, they accept knowledge from the Vedas. Because we accept it Veda is perfect
- Our Vedic process of knowledge is, one has to accept a guru, a spiritual master, who has received knowledge from another perfect spiritual master
- Our vision is different. We are not under the control of maya. At least we should be like that. Then we remain in the transcendental state
- Our whole aim is how to get out of this material encagement and go back to the spiritual world, go back to home. That is the aim. That is called para gatim. Para means transcendental; gati means aim of life. Para gati
- Our whole trouble of life, this material existence, it is, according to Vedic literature, this is our condemned life, material, because I am put into a different atmosphere, this body, which I am not
- Our worshipable object is that spiritual love, Radha and Krsna. But the so-called love in this material world is only a perverted reflection. It is only lust
- Our, this Gaudiya-sampradaya, Caitanya Mahaprabhu's descendants, our line of God-realization is that separation, feeling of separation. Not that we have got Krsna within our hand. No
- Out of 8,400,000's of forms of life, mostly 8,300,000 species of life are being maintained by that one maintainer. And some of us so-called civilized, we are trying to maintain ourself
- Out of many millions of persons engaged in ritualistic ceremony, one becomes advanced in knowledge. They are called jnani, or speculative philosopher. Not karmis, but jnani
- Out of many millions of these religious person, some of them know what he is, - I am not this body
- Out of many, many, many thousands of people, who wants to have perfection in spiritual life, then those persons who have attained such perfection, out of them, one or two may understand what is Krsna
- Out of sixty volumes, we have published only about twelve volumes. So it's a great literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam. So everything is there; nothing new
- Out of the twelve authorities of sastra, Brahma is the origin, and he has been explained as Svayambhu. Atma-bhu, like that
- Out of the twelve authorities, Bali Maharaja is one of the authorities because he sacrificed everything to satisfy the Lord
- Out of the twelve authorities, first is Lord Brahma; the next, Narada; the next, Lord Siva; then next, the Kumaras; then Kapiladeva; then Manu, Vaivasvata Manu; then Prahlada Maharaja; then Janaka Maharaja; then Bhismadeva; then Bali Maharaja
- Out of these so-called religious human society, most of them, they simply designate, "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian," but they do not know about religion
- Out of twelve authorities, Sukadeva Gosvami is authority. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). We have to follow the authority
- Outside the covering (sky) there are five layers, thousand times bigger than the one another: water layer, air layer, fire layer. So you have to penetrate all these layers. Then you will get the spiritual world
- Overintelligent means rascal. Intelligence means you must have reason. And if he is going beyond reason, only depending on himself, then he is overintelligent rascal
P
- Pacific Ocean is an insignificant drop of water within this material universe. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that this universe is just like a small mustard seed in the bag of a mustard seed
- Pakistan is ready to attack us. If not Pakistan, then there are many other enemies; even there are many other living entities, just like mosquito, fly, bugs. So adhibhautika, another living entity giving us trouble
- Pancaratrika-vidhi, they accept, nobody is brahmin. Everyone is sudra - kalau sudra-sambhava. In this age, nobody is actually born of a brahmin family or ksatriya family. That is accepted. Because nobody is keeping up their standard
- Pandita, one who is learned, he is sama-darsinah, equal vision. Krsna has equal vision. That picture, Krsna, He's embracing the calf. He is not only embracing the gopis, but He is embracing the calf also, cows also
- Papa-yoni means their intelligence is not very sharp. And a brahmana means to become very, very highly intellectual. Because he'll understand Brahman
- Para-hita-bhasanam. You should speak truth also. What is that truth? That truth is "God is great, and we are subservient. So our duty is to abide by the orders of God," the simple truth
- Param param. They do not know that beyond the sky there is spiritual sky, there is another nature. They have no information
- Pariksit Maharaja is the disciple and Sukadeva Gosvami is the spiritual master. So the spiritual master is speaking and the disciple is hearing, but in the meantime making some question. That is the way of understanding
- Pariksit Maharaja said: "This Krsna consciousness movement is understandable by liberated class of men." Liberated class means above the brahmins
- Pariksit Maharaja, he was a powerful king. He was equipped with everything, but he did not counteract the curse. He could counteract that curse - he was so powerful - but he accepted, - All right. I am cursed. I shall give up my life within seven days
- Part is never equal to the whole. But quality is the same. Therefore we, being part and parcel of Krsna, the Supreme Lord, we are trying to utilize our original constitutional position. This is going on

- People are after becoming religious person or economically very well situated person or desiring all facilities for sense gratification. And when one is frustrated in all these attempts, he wants to become God. You see?
- People are engaged formally. Their temple, church, is sometimes simply formality. Their real business is how to satisfy their senses
- People are generally become religious to get some material benefit, dharma artha. And as soon as he gets material benefit, he enjoys his senses, kama
- People are increasing more and more and becoming under the clutches of maya. Clutches of maya means birth, death, old age and disease. This is maya's shackles, or ropes
- People are not interested for liberation. They want to become religious for material benefit. But that is not the real purpose of life
- People are so degraded, and there is no education, and there are so-called leaders, they are themselves degraded, they are themselves blind. So what is the position of the present society? It is very precarious condition
- People are suffering, identifying himself with these false things, which is not. Tri-guna, all these materials, they are manufactured by the three modes of material nature, and he has no connection with the material nature
- People are surprised. They think the mind, speculative mind, is the beginning. No. Sastra says tongue is the beginning
- People are taking shelter of the Vedic literature who have become afraid of this conditional life. What is the end of Vedic literature? Just to get oneself liberated from this material entanglement
- People are unaware, and they are not interested what is vimoksaya, what is nibandhaya. Exactly like cats and dogs, they are after these four principles of material body
- People are very against us: "No, I am a scholar. I am a philosopher. I can interpret in any way." We say, "No, sir, you cannot do that." This is our propaganda. Veda-pranihito dharmah
- People are very much interested in welfare activities for the human society. So they think that by feeding poor men or giving cloth or opening hospitals, schools, colleges - These things are required. What is the use of hearing about Krsna?
- People become religious not for attaining the transcendental stage, but for material benefit, dharma, the artha. Artha means material opulence. These four things: dharma artha kama moksa
- People become religious to increase their economic condition better, dharma artha, generally
- People become religious. Just like in your Christian religion they go to the church to get some material profit, "O God, give us our daily bread." This is material profit. Similarly, Hindus or Muslims, they become religious
- People do not care for knowledge, at the present moment at least. They care for material opulence
- People do not know how to enjoy ananda. They have been put into ignorance. The so-called leaders, so-called politicians, so-called philosophers, scientists, they are simply keeping the people in darkness
- People do not know what is bhava-sagara. They do not know even. But in Vedic literature, this is the first instruction, how to get out of this bhava-sindhu, bhava-sagara, material ocean
- People do not see what is that atyantika-duhkha-nivrtti, what is that ultimate disappearance of unhappiness. That they do not know. So many things they do not know. Therefore it requires education
- People do not understand that what is that ultimate happiness. Ultimate happiness is there. No, there is no duhkha, there is no unhappiness. That is ultimate happiness
- People do not understand what is moksa, what is economic development, what is religious principle. There is no education
- People generally execute religious principles for some material gain. That is warning. Bhagavata is warning, na arthaya upakalpate: don't execute religious performances simply for material gain
- People give more stress on the eye: "Oh, can you show me Krsna?" Oh, can't you hear Krsna? This is also one sense, that is also another sense. Do you think by seeing you'll understand everything
- People have become so degraded, they do not want to take any information of the soul, of the transmigration of the soul, of God, our relationship with God, what is the ultimate goal of life, why we are put into this miserable condition of life
- People in general, they understand Vedantist means Sankara sampradaya
- People may say, "A karmi is dying and bhakta is dying. What is the benefit?" No. He's not dying, but he is dying or giving up this body for living forever. And the nondevotees, he is dying to accept another body. That is the difference
- People say that, "Whether God can be seen? If anyone has seen God?" Yes, God can be seen. There is no doubt about it. But it requires some qualification. Not some, but only one qualification
- People say: "What is the use of this sankirtana? We are doing our duty. We are living very honestly." For such person it is impossible
- People should be very careful, take advantage of this Krsna consciousness movement. It is not a blind, sentimental religious faith. It is a great science, vijnanam
- People try to understand, that this Krsna consciousness movement, is Hindu movement: "Krsna is one of the Hindu gods." But that is not the fact. Krsna is God. God is God. God cannot be Hindu God, cannot be Muslim God, cannot be Christian God
- People will be surprised, "How God consciousness begins with jihva?" That they do not know. Sastra says, sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Jihva, the tongue, is the beginning of Krsna consciousness, God consciousness
- People will not do that. This truth (Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead) they will not say. What is the reason? Say what is the reason why they do not carry this message, simply to say everyone, whomever you meet
- People, they are interested for success of this human form of life. They are called brahmin. And the next class of men, they are interested for political power, next important class
- Perfect Krsna consciousness means he knows that "I have engaged my life in Krsna's business. Eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. He's feeding millions and millions of living entities, and he'll keep me starving?" Is it possible
- Perfect yogi, they control the prana-vayu in such a way that by their sweet will they can transfer themselves through the prana-vayu in different planets
- Persons who are making research, what is the origin of everything, they are also learned scholars - but because they are doing in their own way, therefore it takes many, many births to understand that Krsna is the origin of everything
- Persons who were of our father's age, they would sit down round the prostitute exactly like the street dog surrounds one female dog. Exactly. They had no shame even. This was aristocratic
- Perverted means the topmost thing has come down to the lowest. Here, this parakiya, loving other's wife or other's husband, is most abominable, adultery - not allowed by society, not allowed by the state. But tendency is there
- Philosophers like Kant, Mill, Aristotle or Schopenhauer etc all belong to either of the above five Darshans (the Mimamsa, Sankhya, Nyaya, Mayavada, Patanjal) except Vedanta because limited human thinking power cannot go beyond that stage
- Physical killing is for very big, big, strong man like Mao, or this Lenin, like that. Not common people. They have to be shown mercy
- Pious activities means to be controlled by Krsna, and impious activities means to be controlled by maya. We have to be controlled. Our position is such that we cannot become controller. That is not possible
- Pisaci paile yena mati-cchana haya, mayar grasta jivera sei dasa upajaya. One who is under the control of maya, he speaks like ghostly-haunted man - all nonsense
- Please continue to chant faithfully, and Krishna will reveal Himself, by His Causeless Mercy, and you will know everything automatically
- Please do not take this Krsna consciousness movement as any sectarian movement. It is the science of God. Try to understand the science of God
- Police business is to see the criminal that is actually, he is in his original consciousness to become law-abiding citizen. Otherwise police will go on punishing him. That is police affair. Similarly, this maya is the police agent
- Police force, as the department of government, is not bad. It is doing faithfully service to the government. It is bad to me because I am criminal. Otherwise police force as it is, department, is not bad
- Poor girls, they are victims. These rascals are enjoying without any responsibility of marriage. And sex impulse is very strong between thirteen years up to thirty years
- Poor thinking, poor in thought, poor in behavior, and living with motorcar and this, that, nonsense. It is all nonsense civilization
- Prabhu means "the Lord" and pada means "the position." "One who has taken the position of the Lord." The same thing: saksad-dharitvena, prabhupada. These are the terms. One who is serious to study this science of God, they'll learn all these things
- Practical purpose of studying Vedas, vedanti . . . That vedanti means to understand Krsna. But vedesu durlabham. At the same time, it is said, - It is very, very difficult to understand Krsna by becoming so-called Vedanti
- Practically everything depends on practice. This whole Krsna consciousness movement is to practice transferring from one kind of consciousness to another. So we require practice
- Practically I have done this. People are giving me credit that I have done miracles, but my miracle is that I carried the message of Caitanya Mahaprabhu: yare dekha tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa (CC Madhya 7.128). So this is the secrecy
- Practically there is no death. Death means changing the body. We have already discussed this point. But that janma, that birth, oh, it is stated here that it is a bondage. Janma-bandha
- Practically we see - we have got branches all over the world - those who have taken to Krsna consciousness, they are happy. So take it very seriously. Don't neglect it, that "It is a sectarian religion of the Hindus or " No. Krsna is not for the Hindus
- Prahlada Maharaja - he is born of a demon father, but Krsna consciousness is open for him; he has accepted. So he is not to be considered as one of the members of the demon family
- Prahlada Maharaja became a devotee, not a so-called devotee, that - If my senses are gratified, then I shall continue to remain a devotee. Otherwise I shall slip away, go away. That's all
- Prahlada Maharaja himself was born of the demon family. His all class friends are born of demon father. His country was demonic country, his family was demonic, and he became a great devotee
- Prahlada Maharaja is not protesting, "Why you are killing my father?" No. He's seeing. So why Prahlada Maharaja is worshiped? Why he has become a mahajana, authority
- Prahlada Maharaja is one of the mahajana, authorities. How he has gotten this authority? Here it is said, so 'ham katham nu visrje tava bhrtya-sevam. So everyone must have his position by giving service to the spiritual master
- Prahlada Maharaja is submitting that, "I do not require to be highly elevated to offer my prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Nobody requires any material acquisition to approach God. We have been discussing this point for the last few days
- Prahlada Maharaja regrets, "I am thinking of these rascals, fools." Maya-sukhaya: "For maya-sukha," means this false or illusory happiness, - they are making some huge, gorgeous arrangement
- Prahlada Maharaja said that, - I have seen my father, such a powerful man, finished. What benediction I shall ask, this material world? Don't allure me. Better engage me as the servant of Your servant
- Prahlada Maharaja said that, - My dear Lord, for my personal self, I do not bother. I have no problem. I am simply thinking of these fools
- Prahlada Maharaja said to his father, - My dear father, if somebody quits this scene of grham andha-kupam, a dark well of this material life, and goes to the forest and takes shelter of Krsna, oh, that is very nice thing
- Prahlada Maharaja said: "My Lord, I have no problem, so why shall I ask You for anything? I have no problem." - Everyone has got problem in this material world. They're trying to overcome the problem. But I have no problem
- Prahlada Maharaja says - These demigods, they are appointed servants, and they are not disturbing like us. And Your incarnation is specially meant for them
- Prahlada Maharaja says he (a devotee) may be born in a family of the dog-eaters, but because he has engaged his body, mind and words for service of Krsna, then he is better, he is in superior position than the so-called brahmin
- Prahlada Maharaja says that according to the body, your happiness and distress or enjoyment. We do not know what is our happiness. According to body, I think this is the standard of happiness
- Prahlada Maharaja says this stoppage of talking is better than to talk nonsense. If you cannot talk of Krsna, better don't talk. Therefore this maunam is recommended for the persons, less intelligent, who cannot talk about Krsna. Better stop
- Prahlada Maharaja says, "Because my heart is always merged into the ocean of Your glorification, I have no problem." This is the devotee
- Prahlada Maharaja says, - Even a sadhu is pleased when a snake is killed or a scorpion is killed. So my father is just like snake and scorpion. So he's killed; therefore everyone is happy
- Prahlada Maharaja says, grham andha-kupam: "If you keep yourself always in this dark well of so-called family life, then you'll never be happy." Atma-patam
- Prahlada Maharaja says, soce tato vimukha-cetasa vimudhan (SB 7.9.43): "These rascals, they have forgotten You and making plan to be happy." So everyone
- Prahlada Maharaja's father: he was so proud, and he was confident, "Now I have taken benediction from Brahma, I'll live forever." So he was very much proud
- Prahlada Maharaja, directly his father is a great demon, but he is not demon. It does not mean that a person born of low family is also low. This is not the verdict of Vedas
- Prahlada Maharaja, five-years-old boy, he was chanting Hare Krsna. His father did not like. "Why you are chanting Hare Krsna?" "Because Krsna is the Supreme Lord." - Krsna is Supreme Lord? I am Supreme Lord. You do not do this
- Prakasananda Sarasvati was at Benares. He was a Mayavadi sannyasi, Sankara-sampradaya. At Benares He (Caitanya) was also walking all over the streets and roads, "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna," and thousands and thousands men were following Him
- Prakasananda Sarasvati? He was also old man. Not less than sixty years old
- Prakrteh means this cosmic manifestation, beyond that. God is creator of this cosmic manifestation. Therefore it is said prakrteh
- Prakrti means which is controlled, which is under... Real meaning of prakrti is a woman or a female
- Prakrti means woman, naturally a woman is under the control of the man. That is our Vedic system, and natural system also. However the woman may claim equal rights, they are under the control of the man. That is natural
- Pranipata means you must have the qualification to, at least, to find out a person who is actually qualified to give you real instruction. That you have to do. That remains on you
- Pratyaksa, direct perception. Pratyaksa, anumana and sruti. Anumana means I cannot see directly, but by the symptoms I can imagine
- Pravrtti and nivrtti means which one, which path, we shall take and which path we shall reject. That they (demons) do not know
- Pravrtti-marga means he has got intention, desire for material enjoyment. So he's regulated, "Do like this," so that he may come to the point of nivrtti-marga
- Pravrttim ca nivrttim ca na viduh asura-jana (BG 16.7). They do not know it. Still, they become leaders. They do not know in which way people should be directed, and still they claim to be public leaders
- Prescribed duties according to qualification, position, occupation, that is called karma. And just opposite, it is called vikarma
- Present problem is not problem. We are eternal. Our problem is eternal

- Pure existence is eternal life, blissfulness and knowledge, full of knowledge. That is pure life. So the human life is meant for purifying our existence
- Puruna means the enjoyer. Everyone of us sitting in this hall, we have got different mentality to enjoy differently, different dress, different mentality, different opinion, because everyone of us we are individual

- Raja means king and rsi means saintly person. So either the rsis did know or the kings did know (Bhagavad-gita). Or a king who is not less than a rsi, he could know and he could rule over. That is the Vedic injunction
- Raja, he must be just like Maharaja Yudhisthira, Maharaja Pariksit, Lord Ramacandra, Maharaja Ambarisa. They are rajarsi. They are saintly persons, but they are governor. Such persons should understand
- Rajarsayah means king, ksatriya, with qualification of brahmana. Although he is king, he is not brahmana, but he has got the qualification of brahmana
- Rajo-guna means activities for sense enjoyment. So rajo-guna, just like the karmis, they are working hard day and night. What is the purpose? Sex, that's all

- Real duty in the human form of life is here is a chance whether you want to go to back to home, back to Godhead, or again you want to go to hell, the repetition of birth and death. That is your choice
- Real duty is Krsna consciousness. That is normal duty. All, all other duties are abnormal duties, crazy duties. Just like pagala, they're all crazy
- Real ego is "I am servant of Krsna." So there is no necessity of giving up egotism or egoism, but it must be real. At the present moment we are falsely thinking, "I am this body," every one of us. There is no argument
- Real enjoyment is beyond these senses.That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Sukham atyantikam yat tat. The real happiness is not by these gross senses. By transcendental senses, we can enjoy real happiness

- Real purpose of life is not dharma, artha, kama, moksa. And that will be explained here, jivasya tattva-jijnasa: What is the Absolute Truth, what is the aim of life. Then this is the process. Adau sraddha tatah sadhu-sango 'tha bhajana-kriya

- Reformatory process is meant for purifying him so he becomes mukta-sangah. Mukta-sangah means liberated from all this bad association of material existence

- Religion based on philosophy and logic, that is religion. So that combination is Bhagavad-gita
- Religion is a kind of faith. That they describe. But religion is also not a blind faith. Religion means the order of God. That is religion. Dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam - SB 6.3.19
- Religion means also science. But they have taken religion as faith, "I believe." Religion means, actually, religion means . . . just like in the dictionary you find. Religion means to learn how to obey the supreme controller. That is religion
- Religion means the law given by Krsna, or God. That is religion. Otherwise, it is not religion. That is cheating. Dharmah projjhita-kaitavo 'tra (SB 1.1.2). This is cheating religion. If you do not follow Krsna, that is cheating
- Religion means to know God and love Him. But generally, a man does not know what is God, and what to speak of loving Him? So therefore that is cheating religion. That is not religion
- Religion means to know the real law. That is religion. If you do not know the definition of religion, this is it
- Religion without philosophical basis, without scientific basis, is sentiment. But religion based on philosophy and science, that is right. So Bhagavad-gita is that book. Any question, any inquiry, any doubt - all the answers are there, and very nicely
- Religious means that is the beginning of human life. If one is not religious, then he is animal. Dharmena hinah pasubhih samanah

- Rendering devotional service to the SPG. That is first-class religion. Bhakti-yogo bhagavati tan-nama-grahanadibhih. Tan-nama. And how it begins? "Simply by chanting His holy name." These are the authoritative statements of Yamaraja
- Report of the brahmanas, the police came and broke these drums. It was not the fault of the Muhammadans. The brahmanas lodged complaint against Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So he has to take step

- Restlessness is there because we are searching after that eternal happiness. We are trying to find out in one place, and when it is finished we try to go to another place

- Rsabhadeva is advising His other sons - that bharatam bhajadhvam - You just be obedient to Bharata. Don't try to rule independently, because if you follow the principles of Bharata Maharaja, that will satisfy the citizens, not ruling over independently
- Rupa Gosvami is the direct disciple of Lord Caitanya. When he retired from his service - he was government minister - oh, he brought home golden coins, full, a boat full, full of gold. Now, just imagine how much the amount was
- Rupa Gosvami says that in everything there is relationship with Krsna. Hari-sambandhi-vastunah. So why shall I reject it? I am concerned with Hari, Krsna; therefore anything belongs to Krsna, I am also interested
- Rupa Gosvami says that, "You purchase at any price." But what is that price? Tatra laulyam ekalam mulyam. Laulyam, eagerness. That is price. That is the only qualification
- Rupa Gosvami says, "You are the greatest of all charitable persons, because You are offering the greatest boon." Krsna-prema-pradaya te (CC Madhya 19.53) - You are offering love of Krsna, which will get me to the kingdom of Krsna
S
- Sac, cid, ananda - three, three spiritual divisions. Not division actually; they are one. But for our understanding we analyze in that way, sac, cid, ananda
- Sacrifice means my senses dictate that "You enjoy," but I am not enjoying. I am not enjoying. This is sacrifice
- Sad-dharma-samsthapakau: just to establish real religious principle, nana-sastra-vicaranaika-nipunau, with scrutinizing thinking over and giving to the people. This is Gosvamis' business
- Sadaiva means "always." Sada eva, sadaiva. Who sees? Now, one who is devotee, one who is fully absorbed in love of Godhead, premanjana-cchurita, or whose eyes are anointed with love of Godhead. Not this eye
- Sadhana-siddha means those who are put into this material world, by the association of maha-bhagavata, if he tries, follows, then he can also become maha-bhagavata or nitya-siddha, because originally everyone is nitya-siddha

- Sadhu is equally disposed to all living entities - not only human society; animal society
- Sadhu is representative of Krsna. Sadhu will never say that, "You serve me." Sadhu will say: "Serve Krsna." Therefore we have to approach Krsna through sadhu, not directly
- Sadhu is suhrdah sarva-dehinam. Sarva-dehinam means all living entities in all forms of life
- Sadhu is titiksava. He has to tolerate so many things, criticism, opposing elements. Because sadhu cannot sit down idly. Bhajate mam ananya-bhak. He is engaged fully in Krsna's service

- Sadhu means saintly person. Sastra means revealed scriptures. Sadhu, sastra and guru, spiritual master. So we must follow the footprints of saintly person, mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). That is the way
- Sadhu means very tolerant. In another place, sadhu is described in the Bhagavad-gita: bhajate mam ananya-bhak sadhur eva sa mantavyah - engaged in devotional service without deviation, he is certainly to be considered a saint
- Sadhu means who is trying to make others sadhu. He is sadhu. Krsna likes such sadhu, as He has described in the last portion of Bhagavad-gita
- Sadhu, saintly person, or a spiritual master or the scripture, what do they advise? As it has been stated, that by the instruction of saintly person, by the instruction of spiritual master, one gets out of this kicking problem
- Sadhu-sanga is so essential. And sadhu's symptoms are described. And suhrdah. Suhrdah, we have already explained. Suhrdah means well-wisher for everyone

- Sagunasya brahmanah, these twenty-five elements, they cover him - that means the living entity who has come in this material world. But Kapiladeva or Krsna, Bhagavan, He is not saguna; He is always nirguna
- Saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktas, in every sastra it is said the guru is God, Krsna. So it is stated in the sastra and it is accepted by authorities. Not that it is simply stated. Samasta-sastrair, ukta
- Saksad-dharitvena, as Krsna is accepted in every sastra, saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktah, it is said, uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih, and this statement is accepted by advanced devotees. It is not only statement, but it is accepted
- Samah sarvesu bhutesu means that every one of us, we are servant of God. That is ekatvam. Ekatvam anupasyati. Anu means always. Anu means following the authority
- Samah sarvesu bhutesu: he can see everyone on equal vision. Because he knows, - Here is also another living entity. He is not a Chinaman. He is a part and parcel of God. He is not a Christian. He is not a Hindu. He is simply thinking like that
- Samskara-varjita means sudra. In this age nobody observes the samskaras. Therefore in the sastra it is said, kalau sudra-sambhavah (Skanda Purana). In the Kali-yuga almost every person is a sudra. Therefore there is so much chaos
- Sanatana Gosvami approached Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, asking Him the question, - What I am? Why I am put into these threefold miserable condition of life
- Sanatana Gosvami is acarya, direct disciple of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is taking shelter. He has already taken; therefore he said, krpa kari' yadi more kariyacha uddhara. He's already, he knows
- Sanatana Gosvami is giving us the example. Apana-krpate kaha 'kartavya' amara. Kartavya means duty. - Now what is my duty? I have left my so-called duty, ministership. Now I am interested in my real duty, so kindly speak to me what is my duty
- Sanatana Gosvami is putting that, "What is my position? I think that I am very learned man, I am born of very aristocratic family and so on, so on, but actually, I do not know what I am, what is my position." This is pariprasna, inquiry
- Sanatana Gosvami would give decision among their family quarrel also. So dhiradhira-jana-priyau. These ordinary men (village people of Vrndavan), they were not saintly person, but they were devoted to Sanatana Gosvami. Therefore their life was successful
- Sanatana Gosvami, he is by his practical example, he said that one should go and enquire from the spiritual master that "Why I am in this condition of life, always suffering?" Tri-tapa yatana
- Sanatana Gosvami, our predecessor, Caitanya Mahaprabhu's direct disciple, he gives his direction that - Do not hear from a person who is not a Vaisnava
- Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami, they were originally brahmin . . . but they fell down on account of this association. And formerly, they accepted service
- Sanatana Gosvami, when he approached Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he inquired this "Why?" Ke ami, kene amaya jare tapa-traya (CC Madhya 20.102). "Who am I? Why I am put into this miserable condition of life?" That is intelligence
- Sankara-sampradaya, they ascertain the Absolute Truth as impersonal, nirvisesa, and the Buddhists, they ascertain, - The Absolute Truth is zero
- Sankara-sampradaya, they perform very austere penance and principles. They take three times bath at least, three times. And no clothing; simply one loincloth
- Sankaracarya was covered devotee. His aim was to bring men to the standard of devotional service, but the time and circumstances in which he was preaching, he could not place his real object because they were unable to understand
- Sankaracarya, although he is impersonalist, he says, narayanah parah avyaktat: "Narayana is beyond this cosmic manifestation. He's transcendental." That means he says He's person. Narayana, as soon as Narayana, the Personality of Godhead
- Sannyasa order is the topmost order in social division. So whatever he may be - the only qualification, if he knows the science of Krsna, he becomes spiritual master
- Sannyasi does not mean simply changing the dress and thinking otherwise. No. Sannyasi, anyone, it does not matter whether the dress is changed or not, if one is fully engaged by his body, mind and words
- Santah, saintly persons, or mahatma, they develop by hearing about God constantly. They develop love of God. That is the aim of life. That is the real purpose of human life
- Sarva-dharman - You just surrender unto Me. Because your original creation is meant for serving Me
- Sarva-dharman parityajya (BG 18.66). You have manufactured so many duties. That duties means you are manufacturing so many bodies. That's all
- Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). This is vasudevasya. "You simply surrender unto Me." That is real mata. Everyone is surrendered
- Sarva-dugham mahi. So nature will supply you sufficiently, provided you follow ideal life. Otherwise nature will punish you. There will be no supply
- Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya told that, "You become my guest, you, all of you." And he gave them places. Then . . . Caitanya Mahaprabhu was only twenty-four years old, and Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, he was old man, about sixty years old
- Sarvasya means everything, the Supersoul. Sarvasya ca aham. Krsna says: "I," hrdi, "in the heart." When it is called hrdi, that means living entity. Without living entity, there cannot be any heart
- Sarvatmana, this word is very important. The Krsna also asks when He said that, "Giving up all other kinds of engagement of religious process, simply surrender unto Me." That is called sarvatmana
- Sastra has some rules and regulations when number of intoxication and meat eating people increase, then mother earth suffers the heavy weight. Sastras says that we must reject these kinds of sinful activities

- Sastra says - unless you surrender to Krsna, Hari, there is no question of salvation
- Sastra says that every living entity is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. Everyone has seen the tip of the hair, but he has no idea how to divide it into ten thousand part
- Sastra says that simply by understanding that "This is false, and I'll have to become away from these false engagements," so without knowledge of Krsna, such elevators, they become impersonalists and voidists, to make negative this material enjoyment
- Sastra says, - Don't waste your valuable time in that way. Try to understand God. Use your intelligence for this purpose
- Sastra says, andha yathandhair upaniyamanah (SB 7.5.31). The andha - means blind, blind leaders - they are giving us false hope that we shall make here permanent settlement. Therefore they are called andhas. They have no sense
- Sastra says, kalau sudra-sambhavah: "In this age, Kali-yuga, mostly all of them are sudras." No brahmin, no ksatriya, no vaisya, according to qualification
- Sastra says, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam (SB 1.3.28). So we have to follow these mahajana. Otherwise we cannot get the right knowledge. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (Cc. Madhya 17.186). We have to follow great authorities
- Sastra-guru-atma-rupe apanare janana. So Krsna, or the Supreme Lord, is always anxious to revive the memory of these forgotten souls, conditioned souls. Now, how He revives? He revives in sastra. Sastra means scripture
- Sat means eternity, and cit means full of knowledge, and ananda means full of joy. These are the qualifications of God and living entity. Therefore we are hankering after pleasure
- Sattva means also goodness. Sattva-nidheh. Here in this material world there is the modes of nature: goodness, passion and ignorance. But real goodness is in the spiritual world
- Sattva-guna is the stage of brahmana, rajo-guna is the stage of ksatriya, and tamo-guna is the stage of sudra, and mixed together is the stage of vaisya. Vaisya has mixed quality; and pure sattva-guna, brahmana; pure rajo-guna, ksatriya

- SB is written by Vyasadeva after writing four Vedas and the eighteen Puranas, the 108 Upanisads, then Vedanta-sutra and Mahabharata, in which Bhagavad-gita is set up. So after compiling all these Vedic literatures Vyasadeva was not satisfied
- Scientists are making research "What is the truth beyond this? Beyond this? Beyond this?" When they come to the point of this pure consciousness, that is the highest grade of scientific knowledge
- Second World War was in 1939. That was also German and Englishmen, like that. But actually, this was also World War, this Battlefield of Kuruksetra, because all the kings of the world, they joined either this party or that party

- Seven months' unconscious stage within the womb of the mother. After seven months, the consciousness revives
- Seven months, at that time the body is grown up, and in this way in tenth month the body is fully grown, then by nature’s way the body comes out and another life begins. This is called transmigration of the soul
- Several times I have discussed this point, that a big tree, if you have to pour water, then you have to pour water on the root
- Several times I have given you this example: especially Lord Jesus Christ, he was not fearful. When he was punished to be crucified, he never cared for it

- Several times we have discussed this point, that this hand, this work of my hand, is a kind of energy of my body. Now, this hand is meant for working for this body. Similarly, mamaivamso jiva-bhutah jiva-loke sanatanah - BG 15.7
- Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Jihvadau. Jihvadau means "Beginning with the tongue." We have got senses, all senses - eyes, ears, touch - so many senses. But begin with the sense, tongue. Try to control the tongue and engage in Krsna's service
- Sex intercourse in the human form of life and the sex intercourse of the dog on the street, the taste is the same. Taste is not changed
- Sex intercourse should be not against the religious principle. Therefore illicit sex life is forbidden in our Society. Sex should be utilized only for begetting nice children, not for any other purpose
- Sex life should be minimized as far as possible. Therefore we have got this restriction, - No illicit sex
- Sex life with wife should be performed only for begetting a Krsna conscious child. Nothing more. No more attraction. That life is better. That life means not only better; that is the ideal life
- Sex life, we don't say . . . that you cannot do, nobody can do. Therefore sex life means married life, a little concession. A license, "All right, you take this license." But not illicit sex. Then you'll never be able
- She (Anandamayi) is simply exploiting some women's sentiments, by giving them some deity and crying. And woman, they're simple. This way, she wanted to captivate donors
- She (Devahuti) thinks herself, because woman, yosa, durbodham. So she is accepting her son as guru and very submissively, and she wants to understand the very difficult subject matter very easily by the grace of Kapiladeva

- She (Rukmini-devi) is Laksmi-devi, and she was always afraid of Krsna that, "He may not leave me away." Always afraid
- She (the illusory energy) wants to test, "How much this person is sincere?" So there will be so many allurement offered by the material energy
- She has got the tendency to become a perfect devotee. As a father and mother you should not hamper it. Because it is not easy to become a devotee
- She is trained up. Then she becomes a very good housewife, takes care of household affairs, husband, children, and home becomes happy. What is this nonsense, divorce? There is no such thing in the Vedic civilization, divorce
- Show something, Bhagavan. They simply cheap Bhagavan, and rascal present as cheap Bhagavan, and rascal accept them as Bhagavan. This is not good. Try to find out the actual Bhagavan. That is Krsna

- Simple thing. Chant Hare Krsna, dance, and take krsna-prasadam. And if you are not educated, you are illiterate, hear. Just you have got natural gift, ear. You have got natural tongue
- Simply a long duration dream. Do you think this skyscraper building will stay? Nothing will stay. It may stay for five hundred years or five thousand years, but is it not permanent

- Simply by chanting "water, water," you cannot quench your thirst. You must have the substance water. That is material sound. Anything you take, simply by chanting the name, you will not get the thing. That is material
- Simply by his changing the rubber stamp, "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian," that does not make any benefit. Therefore our Movement is Krsna consciousness. We don't talk of any religion. The consciousness should be changed
- Simply by knowing (science of God). "For him the profit is that after giving up this body, he hasn't got to take birth again in this material form." Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti - He comes directly to Me
- Simply by Krsna consciousness, always thinking of Krsna, all your senses will be purified. This is the process. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. And you can begin service with your tongue
- Simply by passing the examination, if he sits down at home, then he cannot be called a medical practitioner. He must work as a medical man
- Simply by pronouncing this transcendental vibration (Yah smaret pundarikaksam), one becomes so purified that immediately he becomes eligible to operate sacrificial, ritualistic ceremonies
- Simply by rubber-stamping religion . . . that has happened at the present moment. Nobody knows what is meant by religion. And this is the essence of religion: to surrender to God
- Simply by rubber-stamping, harijana? No. Here, what we are doing, it is not rubber-stamp. It is actually training according to the pancaratriki-vidhi
- Simply by rubber-stamping, how one can become devotee? That is not possible. Without going the pancaratriki-vidhi, they remain the same unclean drunkard and the all nonsense habits
- Simply by understanding - even not engaging yourself in transcendental service of the Lord - simply by understanding the process of appearance and disappearance. So why don't you try that
- Simply by understanding Krsna, one becomes automatically liberated from this material entanglement. A Krsna conscious person hasn't got to make separate endeavor and attempt to become liberated
- Simply by your service attitude, to serve Krsna, beginning with the tongue. It is very wonderful. But utilizing your tongue, you can achieve Krsna very easily, by the tongue
- Simply dreaming I am getting one lakh of rupees, that is good, or actually, if you get five rupees, that is good? Which is good?
- Simply engaging tongue in the service of the Lord, I shall understand. - So this is also blind faith. But actually it is happening. Chant Hare Krsna and take prasadam. That's all
- Simply faith, blind faith, will not endure. And therefore they are becoming godless. And gradually, if we do not understand factually what is God, then the whole human civilization will be godless
- Simply have some eating & sleeping & mating & some defense & quarreling like cats & dogs - this is not civilization. The human civilization is this, that he should properly utilize this human form of life & take advantage of this knowledge - KC
- Simply I prayed to Krsna, - My dear Lord, You are seated there on that place (the land in Bombay). If You are removed, then it will be suicidal. You must remain there
- Simply if you give aural reception, that will clear everything within your mind, and you'll get enlightenment, because Krsna will help you. He's present within
- Simply it requires a purified mind, that "I shall execute it honestly." That much qualification is sufficient. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). This is Krsna's law and order
- Simply jnani, simply A-B-C-D knowledge, academic education, will not help. You must be jnani, at the same time, tattva-darsi. That tattva-darsana cannot be possible by mental speculation
- Simply stamping myself with some rubber stamp that, "I belong to this religion," "I belong to that religion," that will not help. That is cheating. You are cheating yourself
- Simply the preliminary faith, that is very good, but unless that faith is increased more and more, then there is no progress
- Simply to rise to the platform of Brahman, that is sat, partial realization of the Absolute Truth. Sat. Then cit. Cit means knowledge. That is also partial. Ananda. Sac-cid-ananda. When there . . . ananda you cannot get
- Simply to take birth in a big family or a high family is not all. One has to qualify himself and keep up the status, the tradition, of the family. Then he is all right
- Simply we are creating problems by godless civilization. That is a fact. Just take example from your country. You are constructing so many highways, freeways. Still, there is problem. Still there is, even in the highways, sometimes blocked
- Simply we have to become purified feelings that, "I must serve Krsna very nicely." Then He will give facilities, He will give you intelligence, He will give you everything. Because He is the source of everything
- Simply you have to open your feelings of love of Godhead. Then He's pleased. It does not depend on the particular type of language or poetic ideas. No
- Since I have come to this part of the world in 1965, so many boys are chased by the government draft board. You see? They belong to the independent nation, and formerly they were independent. And what is this nonsense independence
- Sitadevi was kidnapped. Ramacandra is the Supreme Lord; He could have married many thousands of Sita. But as the dutiful husband, to rescue one wife He killed the whole family of Ravana. This is protection
- Six or seven months it takes to go to the moon planet. How they have gone in four days? They have never gone
- Sixty years, they could not do any of these books. And still they are envious. Within sixty years they could not attract any foreign student or any book published. And still, they are proud. They have got all the blessings of Bhaktisiddhanta
- Sleep; you require some rest. But don't sleep twenty-six hours. Not like that. Utmost six hours to eight hours, sufficient for any healthy man
- Small child sleeps very sound on the lap of the mother because it thinks, "Now I am safe." And the mother is killing child. This is the advancement. Has been many cases, a polluted woman has killed his child on account of paramour
- So 'ham, "I am that," means the Supreme God, as He is in quality, I am also the same in quality
- So far as Indian philosophy is concerned, Vedanta Sutra is the topmost, and Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on Vedanta Sutra
- So far I know, Christian, there is consideration of hell and heaven. Somebody is going to hell, somebody's going to heaven. Is it not? After death
- So far material body is concerned, you cannot change the quality. This is already. One has got the particular type of body by nature's arrangement according to the quality
- So far miseries from other living entities, we can take protection, we can defend ourself. But so far miseries offered by the demigods, daiva, there is no remedy
- So far nuclear weapon is concerned, so there is no much credit. Because it is a weapon for killing, death. Is it not? Not for that purpose?
- So far scriptures are concerned, there are also different scriptures. And a philosopher is not a philosopher if he does not agree other philosophers. So in this way, you are perplexed
- So far scriptures are concerned, there are different scriptures all over the world in the civilized society, but Bhagavad-gita, the Lord says that "The essence of all scripture is to understand my constitutional position." That's all
- So far scriptures are concerned, you'll find different scriptures describing in a different way. So that also, you'll be bewildered
- So far this Krsna consciousness movement, there is no need of analogy. It is accepted as truth, and Krsna is accepted as the SPG, and whatever He says is truth. There is no mistake, and if we carry that message, there is no mistake
- So far Vedic literature is concerned, God is person and accepted by the acaryas. We have to follow the acaryas; otherwise our own interpretation, our own tiny brain, we cannot conceive
- So far Vedic literatures are concerned, they are very much strict about association, free association of man and woman. They are very much strict. They have compared woman as fire and man as the pot of butter
- So far vegetable is concerned, everyone has to eat something. So if you can eat vegetables, that does not mean because somebody is killing vegetables, he should kill his own father and mother on that plea
- So far your question about the earthquake, so suppose if there is plane crash, there are many good men, bad men, so everyone is crashed. But the good man gets a good body again, the bad man gets a bad body again
- So ham means "I am the same." But "I am the same" does not mean "I am the same Supreme." - I am the same in quality
- So long as we are part and parcel of Krsna, or the Supreme Lord, our duty is to give service. That is the description given by Lord Caitanya. Everywhere, in every sastra, jivera 'svarupa' haya-nitya-krsna-dasa. Eternally we are servant
- So long he has got this short duration of life, fifty or sixty years or utmost hundred years, he is thinking, "I am free. Whatever I want, I can do," and making life risky
- So long one does not come to this point (Krsna is everything), it is to be understood that he has no shelter. And because he has no shelter, he has to come down again. Again to the opening of hospital and giving medicine
- So long one is not a devotee, one who is not on the transcendental platform, this equal vision is not possible. It is crippled, all crippled. Therefore bhakti-yoga should be animitta, ahaituki. These words are used
- So long one is rascal, falsely thinking that he's independent, there must be the regulative principles. He must observe the regulative principles, vidhi-nisedha
- So long one will falsely think that "I am God. I am enjoyer, I am this, I am that." Then he'll suffer. False notion will never make him happy. He must come to the true, factual idea
- So long they are fighting, that means they are not on the perfectional stage. Where is the fighting? If you love God, then you love everyone. That is the sign
- So long they do not come to this platform of understanding atma-tattva, whatever rascal they are doing, simply defeat, that's all. Parabhava. Simply frustration and defeat
- So long this ignorance will continue, we shall remain like cats and dogs. There cannot be any peace. It is not possible. When we come to the real understanding that we are spirit soul and part and parcel of God, then we become actually learned
- So long we are covered by maya, our godly qualities are not manifest. But we are not God. Or you are God, but that big God, but you are a particle of
- So long we are in the bodily concept of life, there are so many troubles and miserable condition of life
- So long we are in the lower, animal life, nature is giving chance. Prakrteh kriyamanani (BG 3.27). Then nature brings you in the platform of human life, developed consciousness, and you can take advantage of the sastra
- So long we are in this material body, there are four principles, out of which one is bhayam, fearfulness: "What will happen? What will happen?" Because I am eternal, na hanyate sarire, but my body is to be annihilated. This is the psychology
- So long we are in this material ocean, we have to accept these laws of nature, repetition of birth and death. This is called bhava-sagara
- So long we are in this material world, not in the spiritual world, still we have to live very honestly. Then there is hope for raising oneself to the spiritual platform
- So long we are on the material plane, or gross bodily plane, or subtle mental plane, oh, we have to suffer. We have to go to the spiritual platform, and that spiritual platform is Krsna consciousness
- So long we are on the platform of mental speculation, we should understand that we are on the material plane. Because mind is material. Mind is not spiritual
- So long we are under the control of maya, we are dependent. Our constitutional position is dependence, servitude
- So long we are within this material world, prakrti-stha, there is no question of enjoyment. It is false enjoyment
- So long we do not come to the platform of understanding that, "I am spirit soul; I am part and parcel of the Supreme Spirit," we are in the ignorance - in different forms
- So long we have got this material body, we have got particular type of occupational duty. We are preaching to the world not any occupational duty, but we are preaching eternal duty
- So long we have got this material body, we have to work. We cannot stop working. That is not possible
- So long we live, there are so many miserable conditions of life. This is called material existence
- So long we'll make program how to become happy materially, your mind being absorbed in material things, not in the spiritual matter, you'll have to accept another body. This is your problem
- So long you have not solved the four prominent miserable condition of life - birth, death, old age and disease - you cannot say there is no God
- So long you shall remain within this material world, you have to accept these four principles of material condition, that you'll have to die
- So long you will have desire for sense gratification, localized or expanded, the quality does not change
- So many Christian gentlemen I meet, they cannot understand even Christianity that Lord Jesus Christ said: "Thou shalt not kill," and they are very busy simply in killing business. And still, they're Christians
- So many Mayavadi sannyasis, they give up, "This world is false," and they merge, so-called merge, but the mastership mentality is there
- So many Ph.D.'s, they are loitering. Therefore they become Communists and this, what is called? Naxalites. Educated young boys, they have no job
- So many so-called philosophers and scientist, simply speaking lies and untruth. They have no knowledge. As soon as you challenge them, they will say: - Yes, we are trying. In future we shall do it
- So many things we are hearing through the radio message. Attachment for the sound. And because it is material sound, we are becoming materially entangled, entangled more and more
- So many Vedas there are. And ultimately the knowledge is there, how to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth and how to get yourself liberated. That is . . . these are the subject matter of Vedas
- So nature can change at any time. At any time. You are not controller of nature. You are under the control of nature. That we forget. This is our illusion
- So the stage of Sukadeva Gosvami is atma-rati, self-satisfied, doesn't care for anything of the world. He is aloof from the world. We should not imitate Sukadeva Gosvami and become naked
- So this drama-playing is very good presentation for attracting their attention and displaying Krishna Consciousness very beautifully. Make everything very simple, without too much fancy costumes, and the real message will come out very nicely
- So what is the use of these rascal universities? If they are producing greedy and lusty people, then what is the use of education? Vidya dadati namrata. Education means everyone should be gentleman. That is education
- So what Sukadeva Gosvami did, that after assimilating the whole Vedic literature, he distributed it. That is another instinct. If you really have learned the essence of Vedic knowledge, automatically you'll be inclined to preach it
- So-called businessman, so-called scientist, so-called philosopher - everyone is mad. And kurute vikarma, all sinful activities, especially the slaughterhouse. Horrible. Everyone is taking share of these sinful activities
- Soft-hearted woman, vama-svabhava, they should be given protection. They should be trained up how to become faithful wife, affectionate mother. Then the home will be very happy
- Soldiers killing and ordinary killing is not the same, but my point is that God gives you the law that you shall not kill. Now if you are violating that law, then how you can become religious? That is my question
- Some actress, some cinema artist, singing, and people are so fond of hearing that singing that the artist is paid fifteen thousand rupees for one song. There are many in Bombay. So just see how much attraction we have got for the material sound vibration
- Some are passing in the name of so-called scientist and so-called philosopher, and some of them are hippies, but all of them are engaged in bad, asat. Asat and sat. Sat means permanent, and asat means temporary
- Some good, palatable foodstuff I have been offered by some friend, I am eating. "Oh," I am thinking, "oh, how happy I am!" But what is that happiness? That happiness is due to my tongue only. But I am not this tongue
- Some group of men should be ksatriya for ruling over. Unless there is discipline, ruling, everything will be chaos. The government must be there. The principle of directors must be there. So dharma, artha, kama
- Some innocent man, when he is distressed - he has belief in God - so he approaches God, "God, I am distressed. Kindly help me." He is simply on faith. That is good
- Some of his friends were criticizing him: "Hello, brahmin. How you are reading Bhagavad-gita?" He knew that, "They are criticizing," so he remained silent. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw that he was reading Bhagavad-gita with transcendental ecstasy
- Some of the yogis, they are so expert that they can take out the intestine from the abdomen and clear it and put it again. Yes. These are the perfection of yoga system
- Some of them are busy to become religious. Of course, without religious life, there is no human society. Dharmena hina pasubhih samanah (Hitopadesa 25). Unless a society takes to religiosity, it is not human society
- Some of them are in the modes or quality of goodness, and some of them are in the quality of passion, and some of them are in the quality of ignorance
- Some of them are publicly speaking that there is no God, or if there is God, He is dead, and so on. So this is very precarious condition of the human society
- Some part of this Sanatana instruction, we have discussed. Again we shall discuss. So this Sanatana Gosvami met at Benares while Caitanya Mahaprabhu was returning back from Vrndavana. We shall discuss this point tomorrow
- Some philosopher are trying to make you stone, but that is not possible. You cannot become stone
- Some rascal says: "Show me where is soul." He cannot see, because he has no eyes to see. These modern materialistic person, they want to see everything, but he does not understand that his seeing power is very limited
- Some rascals, they say the animals have no soul. This is wrong. How you can say the animal has no soul? Everyone. Here the authoritative statement by Krsna: sarvasya
- Some rascals, without understanding Vedanta, without reading the natural commentary of the Vedanta-sutra they are posing themselves as Vedantist. That means they are misguiding people
- Some so-called philosophers, they say that "We can adopt any process. It leads to the same goal." That's all right, provided you make progress. Then you'll reach to the same goal
- Some way or other, unknowing or knowingly, if you render some service, that is called ajnata-sukrti
- Somebody asked me "Swamiji, if a person is moral & dutiful & benevolent, all the good qualification, so what is the use of worshiping God?" My reply was that, anyone who is not God conscious or Krsna conscious, he cannot be good, cannot be moral
- Somebody has developed body in the modes of passion. Somebody has developed body in the modes of ignorance. But the root is the spirit soul
- Somebody is coming from India in this country. The climate is not very suitable in comparison to India, but they have come here to work hard. Why? Sex pleasure. That's all
- Somebody is dressed like a female, somebody is dressed like a male, but none of them are male. Both of them are originally female, prakrti. Prakrti means feminine gender
- Somebody is in the cat's body. Somebody's dog's body. Somebody's in human being's body. Somebody is in demigod's body. These bodies are offered by prakrti according to price you pay. This is called karma
- Somebody is loving his family, somebody is loving his wife, somebody is loving his society or friendship - society, friendship, they say divine. But the ultimate, ultimate point of love is when you come to Krsna
- Somebody is mistaking that "Real enjoyment, there cannot be any varieties. If there are varieties, then what is the difference between this and that?" So these varieties are different in quality. This is material quality, and that is spiritual quality
- Somebody is working very hard. Nobody is interested to work very hard for others. That is not the material philosophy. Everyone wants his own satisfaction, means sense gratification
- Somebody is, argue, that "This is written by some scholar or some learned person." No, Veda is not like that. Veda is coming directly from Narayana, and Narayana means God. God was existing before the creation
- Somebody says that, "I am searching after the truth." But you must know what is the truth. Otherwise, how you will search out truth
- Somebody says, "No, my father says it is gold. My Guru Maharaja says it is gold. Well, so many acaryas says it is gold," then you accept it, gold. So one accepts gold by the authoritative statement of the superiors, & one accepts gold by chemical analysis
- Somebody went to see one advanced devotee, and at nine o'clock he was sleeping. And he's advanced devotee. Is not that? What kind of devotee he is?
- Somebody's thinking, "I am Russian." Somebody's thinking, "I am somebody else." So everyone is thinking that "I am this body." This is one standard, or one platform
- Somebody, other living entity, he's giving me some trouble - just like the insects, mosquito, mouse, tiger or a bad man, neighbor, unnecessarily giving me trouble
- Somehow or other, get money. - Because without money, you cannot get woman, you cannot get nice palatable food, nice dress, nice apartment, nice car. - So bring money, somehow or other
- Somehow or other, we have to surrender to Krsna. Then our life is successful. Otherwise not. So we do it knowingly or unknowingly; the effect is the same
- Sometime doctor advises, physician, or the surgeon that, "Unless you cut off this finger, the whole hand will be poison," and you have to cut off to save the other fingers. Similarly, we are all part and parcel of the Supreme Lord
- Sometimes a small pot can be filled up with the water produced from my body like this, put. Of course, one must be healthy man; then he'll perspire and water will come out from the body
- Sometimes a tiffin carrier was stolen by one boy, and he was searching, just like the boys do. This was the children's life, to take protection, to give protection to the cows, to the calves
- Sometimes a Vaisnava born in a village, he purifies the whole village. These are statement in authentic scriptures
- Sometimes by identifying myself with the spirit soul, sometimes I falsely claim that, "I am the supreme soul." Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that - You are soul, you are spirit soul, but you are smaller than the smallest straw in the street
- Sometimes He (Krsna) addresses him (Arjuna) as Bharata, "the descendant of the Bharata dynasty," and sometimes He addresses him as Partha, and sometimes He addresses him Dhananjaya, His friend
- Sometimes He wants to fight. Because the fighting spirit is also there in Krsna. Otherwise, where we get?
- Sometimes intellectual platform is taken as sentimental. Krsna's statement, they are not sentimental. They are vijnana-sahitam
- Sometimes it is argued that mostly devotees are not very much educated. It doesn't matter. This external, academic education has no value for spiritual advancement
- Sometimes it so happens that in the last war in the concentrative camp, the human being was obliged to eat his own stool. So this is called karma
- Sometimes it will come that Krsna has to come here simply to kill the demons. That is Kalki avatara. That is described by Jayadeva Gosvami. What is that? Kesava dhrta-kalki-sarira jaya jagadisa hare
- Sometimes the Christians, they say the Lord Jesus Christ sometimes ate fish. Is not that? Might have done so. One thing is, Christ is powerful. Under certain circumstances, even if he had eaten some fish, that is not fault for him
- Sometimes they (preacher devotees) are defeated, sometimes disappointed, sometimes able to convince; there are different kinds of people. So, not that every devotee is very well equipped
- Sometimes they divide, four classes of men: lazy intelligent, active intelligent, and lazy fool and active fool. The active fool is fourth class because whatever he'll do, it is foolish. So result will not be very good. Active fool
- Sometimes they say: "Never mind if I become a dog. What is the wrong there? I will forget everything." People say, in Western countries, even the university student, they say they don't . . . so ignorance
- Sometimes, when we are unsuccessful in our business attempt or earning attempt, we become sorry that, "Oh, Krsna is so cruel upon me that I could not trust in this." But that is His special favor. You should understand like that
- Son is born by the semina, and the disciple is born by Vedic knowledge
- Son is the expansion of the father's body. Therefore, simultaneously, they are one and different. That is real understanding
- Soul is now dependent on the mind; therefore mind has to be trained up. That is called yoga. Those who are too much in the bodily concept of life, the hatha-yoga is recommended to control the mind
- Soul is one - that is part and parcel of Krsna - but according to karma, according to desire for material enjoyment, we have taken different dresses, and we are wandering all over the universe, according to our karma
- Soul is so minute particle: one ten-thousandth part of the top of the hair. Now how can your material science can see it or understand it? Therefore they say - No soul
- Soul is the object of your love, not this body. And why you take care of the soul? Because it is part and parcel of Krsna. Therefore Krsna is the ultimate object of love. That is Krsna consciousness
- Soul, the spiritual spark, even in minute quantity, it can float the heaviest matter. This is the conclusion. If the pilot is killed some way or other, no more floating, come down
- Spirit soul, he has got hands and legs and everything. That is body. Form means hands and legs, not without form
- Spiritual construction is not known to other philosophers than the Vaisnava philosophers
- Spiritual knowledge is also a science. It is not sentiment; it is science. Now, if you like, you can make research work whether this is fact
- Spiritual master does not become grown just like tree. No. It is carrying the message from higher authorities, as it is stated
- Spiritual master is the representative of God, or Krsna. Just like if you work in some office, so there is one head man, representative of the proprietor of the company. You have to work under him
- Spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. Therefore, surrendering to the spiritual master means surrendering to Krsna. He is the bona fide
- Spiritual paths are divided into four. Not real spiritual, mixed spiritual. Just like this, "God, give us our daily bread." It is mixed spiritual
- Spiritual realization is difficult for person asadbhih. Why it is difficult? Visayatmabhih. Because they are simply attracted by the four principles of material life: eating, sleeping, sex life and, one day, death
- Spiritual realization is not achieved in one birth. If one is fortunate, he can achieve in one second. But generally, it takes many, many years and many, many births to realize what is God, what is the Absolute Truth
- Spiritual science does not depend on one's academic education. You'll be surprised to know that my grand - spiritual master, my spiritual master's spiritual master, he was illiterate
- Spiritual varieties is anandambudhi-vardhanam. The more you are attached to spiritual varieties, it is just like ocean. An ocean does not increase, but spiritual varieties are said they are increasing
- Sravanam is so perfect also. Pariksit Maharaja attained perfection simply by hearing seven days. Similarly, Sukadeva Gosvami, he also attained perfection by speaking seven days to Pariksit Maharaja
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has said that it is very difficult time, kalau. It is not Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's version; it is the Vedic version. Simply chant Hare Krsna mantra. This will clarify your heart
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's disciples, direct disciples, they were all very important men, just like six Gosvamis. Even Svarupa Damodara, His private secretary, he was very learned man, Vedantist
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His propagation, His teaching, the substance of His teaching is that Krsna is the most worshipable object
- Sri Krsna says that, - Don't stop your work, but by the result of your work, you try to make sacrifice for the cause of the Supreme. Then your entanglement will be automatically loosened
- Sri Krsna, Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality, He was also referring to the Brahma-sutra: brahma-sutra-padais caiva viniscitam. So this is the way, that any bona fide spiritual propaganda must be following the footsteps of previous authority
- Sri Ramanujacarya came. He described the actual position of spiritual life. These are gradual development. Your Lord Jesus Christ, he also gave hints of spiritual life, kingdom of God
- Sri Yamunacarya said that - So long I have been attracted by the beauty of Krsna and I have begun to serve at His lotus feet, and I am getting newer, newer energy, since then, as soon as I think of sex intercourse, I want to spite on it
- Srimad-Bhagavata says that the devotees, they can very easily uproot the causes of our material miserable condition of life
- Srimad-bhagavatam amalam puranam. You have got Srimad-Bhagavatam. Read very carefully. All these things are already explained there
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is already sublime, transcendental. And when it is spoken through the mouth of Sukadeva Gosvami, it becomes still sweeter, just like the fruit
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the last contribution of Vyasadeva. Vyasadeva is the original compiler of all Vedic literature. So he wrote so many books - all the Vedas, four Vedas, 108 Upanisads, eighteen Puranas, Mahabharata
- Srimad-Bhagavatam, or this Krsna consciousness movement, is above these four principles of materialistic way of thinking. Krsna consciousness means to inquire the value of life and the destination of life
- Srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah. Krsna, as I already told you, Krsna is situated in everyone's heart. So when people are anxious to hear about Krsna, this is the only qualification
- Sruti-pramanam means if it is mentioned in the Vedas, Upanisad, then it is pramanam. So Vedas, there are four Vedas and 108 Upanisads, and then eighteen Puranas, then this Mahabharata. So all these are Vedic literatures
- Sruti-prasthana, smrti-prasthana, nyaya-prasthana. So any bona fide acarya must give his understanding about these three prasthanas
- Sruti-sastra-nindanam, and to decry the Vedic literature. And third, to interpret the holy name in different way according to our own whims. This is also offense
- Stalin. He's estimated to be the greatest criminal in the world. As soon as he'll suspect you . . . you may be a great friend; next day you are finished
- State says: "Everyone go to the university, be educated." But if you make your choice, go to the prison house, you can make your choice. Similarly, Krsna says everyone, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto. But if you make your choice to go to hell, what can He do
- Stated in the Bhagavad-gita, that our different types of body, desires, activities, are due to our being infected by the particular quality of material nature. Perfected quality. There are three qualities: sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna
- Stay away from this ". . . striyah suna" and unnecessary animal slaughtering; eating meat, fish, eggs etc. This human being becomes a heavy weight to mother earth
- Sthira-buddhi. Sthira means steady, and buddhi means intelligence
- Sthita-prajna means one who is steadily situated in the platform of consciousness. Prajna means consciousness, and sthita means steadily fixed up
- Still I am rascal? - Yes. You are rascal. "Why?" Aruhya krcchrena, "Because the symptoms are there that you are a rascal." So you have to understand by the symptoms
- Still there is Kuruksetra, and people go there to perform religious ritualistic ceremonies. And in the Vedas it is written clearly, kuruksetre dharmam acaret. That is the statement of the Vedas
- Still this (taking bath early morning, changing cloth) system is current. And see arati, mangala-arati. Chant Hare Krsna mantra. Ring the bells. In every temple such arrangement is there. Then come at home and do your duty, the businessman
- Still, India, they do not disrespect a sannyasi, although many so-called sannyasis, they are taking advantage of this. That is another subject
- Still, they cannot assimilate it, so much, so-called civilized men, they cannot understand even the beginning of Bhagavad-gita, tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13), that there is transmigration of the soul, these rascals
- Stone is solid. You cannot change the quality of solid. This unchangeable quality is called dharma. That is really Sanskrit significance
- Stool, in one place it is said that, "It is impure. If you touch, then you have to take your bath." In another place it is said - This stool, particular, the cow dung, is pure

- Tata, Rockefeller or this, they cannot say, "No, I possess the whole wealth of the universe." That you cannot say. But Krsna can say. Therefore He is Bhagavan

- Tears by force are coming out: "Oh, Krsna is going away." At the same time, they want to check: "There may not be any inauspicity for Krsna." They're thinking Krsna, for Krsna, not for personal self

- That (I am not this body) realization takes time. But when we are actually advancing in Krsna consciousness, we must know our duty. Sleeping not more than six hours. Utmost eight hours

- That (Krsna takes the body to fulfill His mission) is the way. That is a real understanding of Krsna
- That (learn to control the senses) is the purpose of human life. Human life is not meant for imitating the life of cats and dogs and hogs. That is not human life
- That (life has specific complex form and activity by nature) is explained in the Vedanta-sutra: axiomatic. Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). By nature, anandamaya. And variety is the mother of enjoyment
- That (living entity) is superior, because this superior energy, living entity, he is trying to utilize this inferior material energy for his sense gratification. Dharyate jagat
- That (parakiya-rasa) is most abominable in this material world, but that is most first class thing in the spiritual world. Parakiya-rase yanha brajete pracara. So these things are very higher principles of spiritual life
- That (reducing population) is very easy. The bomb is also ready. Everyone has got now nuclear weapon, bomb. So the scientists gave the solution. So what is the use of scientific knowledge? This is going to happen
- That (searching after spiritual realization, self-realization) is the way of Vedic culture, or Indian culture. Not that up to the last point of our death we shall stick to the worldly affairs
- That (sex) is my ambition. That's all. I am less than dog. Dog gets opportunity of sex life in the street without any working hard, but I will have to work hard to enjoy the same thing. So I am less than dog
- That (someone purposefully sins) may not be maya. That is my discretion. But that is also maya in another way, indirect way. So one must be strong in Krsna consciousness. Then he is not a victim of maya
- That (standing in the wind and snowfall, the whole year) sort of happiness the tree may enjoy. But you are human being. You will say, - Oh, this is the standard of his enjoyment
- That (surrender) will satisfy Krsna, not that you falsely claim that, "I am Krsna. Krsna is now dead, and now I have come." These rascals will not satisfy Krsna
- That (there is no impediment in devotional service) he has very nicely explained, quoting many authoritative statement from scriptures. And another thing: it is a fact that nobody can check krsna-bhakti. It is transcendental; it is not material
- That (to follow mahajanas) is recommended in the Bhagavad-gita: evam parampara praptam (BG 4.2). So there is no question of blind faith. If we follow the mahajana, example of the authorities, then our life is success
- That (to know transcendental science one must go to an expert guru) is the injunction of every Vedic sastra. And this order is from the Kathopanisad. Then, on the Bhagavad-gita the same thing is said, tad viddhi pranipatena - BG 4.34
- That (to serve Krsna) is the real duty. But people do not know that. They are manufacturing their duty
- That (twenty to thirty years) will be duration of life, because people are becoming more and more sinful. So that is fixed up
- That (we cannot understand Brahman unless we understand Krsna) is real understanding. And without Krsna, if you understand brahma satyam jagan mithya, then you fall down
- That (why these American boys are mad after God now) is a fact. These boys, you American boys, you were not interested. But why you are so interested and you are preaching Krsna consciousness all over the world? You are not foolish
- That (women's liberation) I don't want to discuss. As you have asked, I may explain that how foolish women are being cheated by the intelligent man. You see?
- That division (brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya & sudra) is there all over the world. Either you name differently, but these four classes of men are there, either in India or in America or Hawaii or Japan or anywhere
- That dog also doing, jumping, always. "Bow! Bow! Bow! Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!" What is called? Active foolishness. They remain foolish, but still, they are active. That means they are simply creating dangerous position. That's all
- That exchange of Krsna's feelings you can find in this Gaudiya-Vaisnava philosophy, that Mother Yasoda is treating Krsna as very insignificant. - He's my child. If I don't give Him protection, He will die
- That exhaling and inhaling (of Karanodakasayi Visnu) is the duration of this material existence. When Visnu exhales, whole creation takes place
- That freedom is there always. The Krsna or His representative, the spiritual master, he can give you good instruction, good advice, but to do it or not to do it, that is your option
- That grhamedhi, grhastha - appearing like the same. But grhastha means no dictation of the sense. Then you become gosvami
- That is a very important work and you are especially responsible to make it successful. All other GBC men should give you all assistance for building up the standard there
- That is already being done by many medical practitioners - better medicine. But where is the medicine that will not be disease
- That is Bhagavata-dharma. No cheating. In the name of cheating and dharma, religious principle, that will not help the human civilization
- That is compulsory, that "You are very good, responsible man. All right, do your duty up to this. No more duty. No more duty." So this "duty," "no duty," this is our creation
- That is developed Krsna consciousness, to render service to the ignorant of Krsna consciousness. That is better
- That is devotee's qualification. He prays for everyone, even of his enemy. And he could not be killed. That he knew. But those rascals, they thought they were killing Jesus Christ. That's all
- That is dharma, discipline, to abide by the state laws. There must be some discipline. Similarly, to make yourself advanced to spiritual life, you must have to observe the discipline. Without discipline, it is not possible
- That is his pastime to show us how a little boy can become maha-bhagavata, how a little boy can be the eternal associate of Krsna, and how he can preach. That is Prahlada Maharaja
- That is Jiva Gosvami's, recommended that as soon as we give up this temple worship method, regulative principles, then we become, in the dress of so-called, we become victim of maya. Vesopajivaka
- That is Krsna's grace, that you have no anything to do. You have to do it (chanting Hare Krsna mantra in the association of the devotees). That's a grace of Krsna
- That is Krsna's intelligence, how He adjusts. He gives everyone freedom. And everyone is given facilities, but still He's in botheration. Therefore Krsna advises his devotees that, - Don't plan anything. You rascal, you nonsense, you don't give Me trouble
- That is meditation, "What is my eternal function? What is my eternal duty? Where is my eternal home?" That is Krsna consciousness
- That is meditation: "Where I am? What I am?" So you cannot search out by your material . . . that . . . therefore all these universities, they are setting aside - very difficult subject
- That is our basic principle of knowledge, that every one of us is defective, so you cannot give us complete knowledge; it is not possible. We must receive knowledge from the perfect without defects
- That is our conclusion, that either you remain this side or that side, it is miserable. By mental concoction you think that "This is better than that." Therefore Krsna says frankly, sarva-dharman parityajya (BG 18.66). That is only shelter
- That is our Krsna consciousness movement, that we don't accept any knowledge from a person who is defective in so many ways. And what is the value of such knowledge
- That is our request, that you are very intelligent boys, American boys. Try to understand Krsna. Try to revive your relationship with Krsna. Then you will be happy; otherwise not
- That is pure life, when we think like that, that "We are no more servant." Nayam kinkaram, that is, what is called, indemnifying this contaminated existence of material life
- That is real human life, when he inquires about the Absolute Truth. Otherwise, it is animal life
- That is spiritual world, beyond this material world. So they have no information what is that spiritual world. Therefore it is said (in BG 8.20) that . . . here it is going on, pralaya, anya pralaya
- That is the beginning. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam (BG 18.66). Unless Jagai-Madhai surrendered and stopped their sinful activities . . . that is wanted
- That is the first understanding of spiritual knowledge, that we change our body. I am spirit soul, every one of us, spirit soul, even the animals and the trees and plants and aquatics - any living being
- That is the highest type of religious performances, by which one can achieve the perfection of loving God. Yato bhaktir adhoksaje
- That is the real father and mother: who begets children and make him devotee. That is real father and mother. Otherwise, cats and dogs
- That is the significance of svami and gosvami. It is not the dress. One who has controlling power, one who is not dictated by the senses, one who is not servant of the senses
- That is the significance of the temple. There was some family quarrel, and Gopala came to give witness to decide judgment on that quarrel. So is it possible to describe
- That is the success of human form of life, to execute Bhagavata-dharma. Dharma, as we have several times explained, dharma means the codes of Bhagavan
- That is the Vedic statement, that there are two birds sitting on the same tree. One bird is enjoying the fruit of the tree, and the other bird is simply witnessing. So the two birds, jivatma and paramatma, are always associated
- That is the whole teachings of Bhagavad-gita. We should stop all this nonsense, benevolent work, "I am nationalist," "I am socialist," "I am this," - I am that
- That is there, a class of men, jijnasu. Catur-vidha bhajante mam sukrtinah (BG 7.16). They are pious. "Actually what is the truth?" Jijnasu. And jnani
- That is Vedic culture, to create responsible man, not varna-sankara. Therefore Arjuna was very much afraid that - After war the women will be widows. They will be polluted, and varna-sankara population will come out
- That kicking out will convince them. Otherwise, they will not be convinced. So long they are in the post, they will never be convinced. But when they are kicked out, when they are street dog, then they will be
- That love (for Supreme Lord, Krsna) is not motivated that, "I want this thing; therefore I shall love." Here in this material world the so-called love, lust, is motivated, - I'll get so much sense gratification; therefore I love a boy or a girl
- That man who is simply proud that 'I am born in such-and-such family,' he is a rascal, - because this false prestige is rascaldom. This false prestige has killed the Vedic civilization
- That man who is under false prestige, impression that, "I am this," "I am that," "I am higher," he cannot deliver himself even, because what is the value of false prestige? False prestige has no value
- That qualification (purification from devotional service) we have to attain, then Krsna, purusottama, will speak from within, just like He spoke from within of Brahma: tene brahma hrda adi-kavaye - SB 1.1.1
- That system of religion is first class which teaches for this thing that, "Come to platform of God consciousness and love God." Then that is first-class system of religion. It doesn't matter what is the designation
- That type of religion is first class which teaches you how to become a lover of God. If you become lover, then your life is successful. Then you'll do everything for God
- That universal love can be possible when you actually love God. Samah sarvesu bhutesu. In material platform that is not possible. But a devotee, a pure lover of God, he loves everyone
- That was my policy from the very beginning, that if the Americans accept, then my mission will be successful. And that is being done gradually, and I am insisting that preach in America vigorously
- That was the version of my Guru Maharaja that, "I have got so many temples and buildings. If by selling all these buildings, if I can save one man from this material disease, then my mission will be successful." He used to say like that
- That yathecchasi tatha kuru is already said. You use your intelligence. If you prefer to remain rascal, you remain. Krsna does not say that, - Don't use your intelligence
- That's all right, good standard, but you must collect good standard also. Spend good standard and collect bad standard, what is this
- The Absolute Truth is realized in three features: Brahman, beginning from Brahman; then Paramatma, Supersoul - I think in Christian world they call Holy Ghost - anyway, Paramatma, the Supersoul; and ultimately the SPG, Krsna
- The Absolute Truth is scientific knowledge. It is not sentiment - "I accept somebody as God by votes." That is not bhagavat-tattva-vijnanam. One must know what is the definition of God
- The acarya, other acaryas like Sri Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami and up to Caitanya Mahaprabhu, everyone has accepted, srimad-bhagavatam amalam puranam
- The acarya, they come here to teach us about Krsna consciousness, or God consciousness. That is their business. They have no other business. That is bona fide acarya
- The acceptance has been very marvelous, because the things are presented in pure form, so it has acted very nice. Otherwise, it is not a movement that I have manufactured something. No
- The actual fact is that we are eternal servant of Krsna, we have forgotten it, and therefore we have become servant of maya
- The actual purpose of studying Vedas means to understand Krsna. If one has not understood Krsna, then srama eva hi kevalam (SB 1.2.8). They have simply labored for nothing
- The administration is under the sudra side. How they can manage? So they must be trained, as in business we give training
- The age of Kali-yuga is 432,000's of years. Out of that we have passed only 5,000 years. The balance is 427,000's of years. And it will become, the condition of society, world, will be worse
- The aim (going to that 104th floor) is the same, but you cannot say that one who has already covered one hundred steps, he is as good as one who has covered two steps. There is that difference
- The aim of life, that we are conditioned by this material nature, embodied by the material elements, and that is the cause of our all miserable condition of life
- The aim of religion is to know God. If you profess some religion, but if I ask you what is God, if you cannot explain, then what is the use of your becoming religious

- The ant will not be allowed, a cat will not be allowed, an elephant will not be allowed, a man will not be allowed, a demigod will not be allowed to live forever
- The anxiety of Prahlada Maharaja, "How these rascals, who have made a plan for happiness of a few men, gorgeous plan." And they're . . . for happiness of the government servant, that's all
- The argument will go on. You put some argument; I put some argument. That is not the process. Srutayo vibhinna. Scriptures, in different countries, different circumstances, different scriptures, they're also different
- The Aryans and non-Aryans, there are division: civilized, noncivilized; educated, noneducated; cultured, noncultured; black, white; this and that. There are . . . externally these divisions. But that distinction is of the body
- The Aryans are white. But here, this side, due to climatic influence, they are a little tanned. Indians are tan, but they are not black. But Aryans are all white. And the non-Aryans, they are called black. Yes
- The asuras, they do not want to be purified. They want to remain in the degraded stage of life. That is the difficulty. Otherwise it doesn't matter what he is, which family he's born. It doesn't matter
- The atheist always challenges, "Where is God? Can you show me?" Well, you will see. Not now. Just at the maturation of your all sinful activities, when death will come, you will see Him. This is going on. So it is very instructive lesson
- The atheist and the theist, they will never agree. But theist also never will submit to the atheist. This is the principle
- The atheist class man will always think that Deity is a doll: "These people, crazy fellow, they are worshiping doll." But not for a devotee
- The author says that "This Srimad-Bhagavatam is the essence of Vedic knowledge." Vedic knowledge is compared with the tree, and the tree has got fruit. So this Bhagavatam is the fruit of the Vedic tree
- The authorities are mentioned in the sastra, who are authorities. So if we follow the authority, then we get the conclusion
- The authority means you have to follow blindly. That is authority. That is my point
- The baby, packed up, cannot move, cannot say anything, but feels pain, therefore moves. And the pregnant woman therefore feels that the child is moving at the age of seven months in the womb
- The beginning is brahmacari. There it is very nicely taught how to remain free from material encagement. But if one is unable to take immediately spiritual activity, he is allowed to marry
- The beginning is love, how you are in love with God, the santa, dasya, sakhya, vatsalya, madhurya. If you love these material things, then you should know that you are not in love with God
- The beginning is the faith. And now, as you make your faith intensified, so you become progressive in the spiritual point
- The beginning is to take shelter of guru. Then the student must be very inquisitive, sad-dharma-prccha. Sadhu-marga-anugamanam. You'll find all these things, instruction, in the Nectar of Devotion

- The Bhagavad-gita has been misinterpreted, misused by the leaders, by the politicians, by the so-called philosophers. Everyone has misused Bhagavad-gita
- The Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic literatures because, after all, Vedic literature means to understand Krsna, the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the purpose of Vedic study
- The Bhagavad-gita, Bhagavan, personally says that "Your real miserable condition of life are the four things: janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9)." But who is taking seriously

- The Bhagavata says, so long you do not come to the platform of understanding yourself, whatever you are doing, it is simply defeat. Zero. Zero has no value
- The Bhagavata says: "Whether he has given any aural reception about Krsna, that is the test." No. He has no knowledge about Krsna. Then he must be praised by persons who are like camel, asses, dogs, hogs
- The bhagavata-dharma is very clearly indicated in the Bhagavad-gita. Therefore Bhagavad-gita should be read very carefully, attentively, from the beginning of life, childhood
- The Bhagavatam you'll find religion, religious person, who is a religious person, first-class religion. Religious person means who has learned to love God. That is religious person
- The bhaktas they directly come to the original source of Brahma and Paramatma. Bhagavan, isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati, (BG 18.61) isvarah has expanded in everyone's heart and who is that isvarah? Isvarah paramah krsnah
- The bhattacarya said that "You drink one pound of molten lead." "How it is possible?" "That is the atonement." So in this way he (Buddhimanta Khan) was baffled. He went to Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And He laughed, that - This the condition of the Hindu society
- The Bible is also sastra. Koran is also sastra but they are spoken according to the time, according to the circumstances
- The Bible says: "Thou shall not kill," and they are simply engaged in killing business, and still they want to be happy. Just see the fun. Therefore Krsna says - Yes, you be killed by occasional world war. You must be killed

- The birds, they have no problem. Early in the morning they rise up, and they are certain somewhere there is some fruit. They will eat and sleep in the top of the tree. They haven't got to make arrangement, economic development. It already is there

- The Bon Maharaja, he was coming from a brahmin family; he had to throw away his old sacred thread, and he was further initiated. He (my Guru Maharaja) did not recognize anyone as brahmin or high class. No
- The bondage is that mastership mentality. He's servant, but he's thinking falsely that he's master. Just like your President Nixon. He thought, "Now I have become master of America, I'm president." He forgot that he's servant
- The book, Srimad-Bhagavatam; the ideal worship, the damsels of Vrndavana; Krsna is the worshipable object; and the necessary of life, necessity of life, is to attain love of Godhead. This is the whole mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, sum and substance
- The boy (Prahlada Maharaja) would not give up. So the father was even prepared to kill a five-year-old boy. The fault was that he was chanting Hare Krsna. He was given poison. He was thrown into the fire. He was pulled from the hill
- The boys and girls who have come to this Society, they have accumulated in that way, knowingly or unknowingly, some Krsna conscious qualification, and therefore they have taken this opportunity
- The boys should be trained up to become first-class men, samo damas titiksa, like that. And literary, Sanskrit and English, that will make them perfect. If the husband is first class and the wife is chaste and faithful, then the home is heaven
- The brahmacari is strictly forbidden for sex life. The vanaprastha, they are also forbidden for sex life, and the sannyasi, they are also forbidden for sex life. So out of four divisions, three divisions are strictly forbidden for sex life

- The brahmanas' duty is to give education, intelligence, up to the understanding of the Supreme Absolute Truth, Brahman
- The brahmastra is something like atomic weapon, nuclear weapon. It can go to the enemy wherever the enemy is. It doesn't matter. It will go and kill. That is called brahmastra
- The brahmin community, especially in those days, five hundred years ago, were not very rich, because they did not care for material opulence. That is the specific quality of brahmins
- The brahmins should be protected, but if there are, even in the brahmin family, who are addicted to these sinful activities, that is also becomes a concern
- The Buddhists, they decry the authority of Vedas . He (Lord Buddha) had to do that. There was no way
- The business is tad viddhi pranipatena (BG 4.34): one must be prepared to surrender. So unless that character is there, surrendering, how he can become his disciple? It is not possible
- The business is: "They are claiming all kinds of sinful conditioned souls." Their only business is. Because in this age, Kali-yuga, you cannot find any perfectly pious man or saintly person. Everyone is addicted to so many sinful activities
- The Canadians think, "This is my land." But this, when it is purified, it is this land God's land. Then it is purified. And so long you falsely claim "It is my land," that is cause of all trouble
- The captain is the spiritual master, and this body is a very good ship. These are the examples given. We have to cross over this material ocean. So we must have a captain and good ship, and favorable air
- The car is combination of some material things, but it is operated or it is manufactured by the man. He is controlling this; therefore he is superior. Both of them are energies
- The cats and dogs, they cannot get this opportunity how to purify the existence, how to become free from these four principles of material unhappiness
- The cats, dogs and so-called civilized man is simply nunam pramattah kurute vikarma (SB 5.5.4), doing all kinds of sinful activities. Why? Yad indriya-pritaya aprnoti: simply for sense gratification. This is material world
- The central point of attraction of this material world is sex life, and when one gets detached from sex life . . . tadavadhi mama cetah . . . - As soon as I think of sex intercourse, immediately my mouth becomes turned aside and I want to spite on it
- The chanting of Hare Krsna is not so easy. So many people come here, but when there is chanting they do not chant, because it is not easy
- The characteristic is that I am eternally servant of God. So instead of serving God, if I serve the dog, that is called cheating religion
- The child does not develop all of a sudden. Every mother knows that. It grows gradually, little by little, little by little. When it is seven months, then it moves
- The child within the womb of the mother returns his consciousness when the child is seven months old. This is human body. At that time he feels inconvenience within the womb of mother. Before that, he is unconscious, sleeping
- The children should be trained up in such a way that they will be able to control the senses and act only for the benefit of guru. That is brahmacari. They have no personal interest
- The Christian people, they go to the church, confession, "Sir, I did this, all these sinful activities last week." "All right, pay me something." Again, from Monday, beginning sinful activities; come on Sunday. These are not allowed
- The Christians say, "God is great." The Muslim also say that allahu akbar. That is also same meaning. The Vedic literature also says Parabrahman. Brahman means the greatest
- The clock goes on, tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick. As soon as the tick-tick stops, then whole thing is lost. Similarly, our breathing is going on, tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick, a fixed time
- The codes and the orders and the rules and regulations, they're all stated in the Bhagavad-gita. So if we follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita and accept . . . we accept, consciously or unconsciously. That is our Indian culture, Vedic culture
- The Communists, they're trying for the last fifty years to become happy, but are they happy actually? No. The Russians and the Chinese, they are now differing, "No, this is not the standard. This is standard." So the same thing is going on
- The conception of female God, that is not authorized. Paramah puman yo. So female is prakrti, nature
- The conclusion of the sastra is kalau sudra-sambhavah: in this age of Kali, there are only sudras. Practically there is no brahmin, no ksatriya, no vaisyas. Maybe some vaisyas. But this is the position
- The constitutional position of the dog is that it must have a good master. Then he is happy. Then he's happy. Otherwise it is not happy. Is it not? Otherwise it is a street dog. Sometimes it is killed by the municipality
- The controlling of the senses begins from the tongue. If you allow the tongue to eat anything in the restaurant or anywhere, then you cannot become the jitendriya
- The cow has got the grass for her food. You have got food grains. Cow is giving you milk, just to give her protection that, "You take my blood, turn into milk. Please do not kill me." So why these things are happening? Because there is rascal government
- The cowherds boys, the calves, the cows, the trees, the flowers, the water, the gopis, the elderly inhabitants, Mother Yasoda, Nanda - they are all engaged in fulfilling Krsna's desire. That is Vrndavana
- The dark well means if we are put into the dark well, you'll be killed. Hitvatma patam grham andha-kupam, vanam gato yad dharim asrayeta (SB 7.5.5). - You should give up this dark well and go to the forest

- The demonic people, they do not have the truth. Only a false theory, the Darwin's theory. We have commented upon Darwin's theory also in our book Scientific Basis of Krsna Consciousness
- The demons are always disturbing. Their business is to nullify the existence of God. If there is a certain class of citizens, if they are simply after agitation that - This government is useless
- The Devi, this material energy, has captured everyone, and she is there . . . the more one sleeps, that means he's under the control of maya. And the more he is not sleeping, he's free from maya
- The dharma means to become religious. Why religious? Yes, we require the necessities of life in a regulative principle
- The difference between the Supreme Person and our personality is that He is all-powerful, we are limited. Our power is limited. Everything our, limited. Anu, prabhu. He is great; we are small
- The difference is only that Krsna's personality and others' personality, they are conscious that, "Krsna is our object of love." That's it. The center is Krsna
- The difficulty is that the instruction of Bhagavad-gita, they do not follow. The instruction of Bhagavad-gita is evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh (BG 4.2). One has to learn from the disciplic succession
- The difficulty is that we do not follow the direction of the sastras, therefore we are misguided. As I was speaking the other day, because we have forgotten Krsna for time immemorial, therefore these books are there
- The difficulty of the modern educated person is - not educated, but so-called educated - they are attracted in the city for so many things unnecessary. Just like the club, the restaurant, the liquor and the cigarette, so many things
- The direct meaning is that we are praying Krsna and His energy to accept me in the society of His service. This is the simple . . . there is no other interpretation
- The distinction is when a human being is inquisitive, - Why I am put into this miserable condition of life? Is there any remedy? Is there any perpetual, eternal life
- The doctor says, if anyone sleeps more than eight hours, he is diseased. He must be weak. Healthy man sleeps at a stretch six hours. That is sufficient. That's all

- The enemies you cannot escape. They (senses) will force you again to these material activities. So what is the use of going to the forest? It is simply show, make-show. It has no value. Chant Hare Krsna
- The energy is there, but because we have forgotten the source of the energy or we do not know the source of the energy, therefore we take material things as final. This is our ignorance
- The essence of all scripture, asks you to do - the sastra says, the Lord says - sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66): "Give up everything. Just surrender unto Me." This is the most confidential part of knowledge
- The essence of Vedic knowledge is Bhagavad-gita because the Supreme Personality of Godhead is speaking personally. Take advantage of it. Apply it practically in life and be happy, not only in this life, but the next life
- The essence of Vedic knowledge is Vedanta. There are four Vedas and many branches, eighteen Puranas and then 108 Upanisad. All combined together, the essence is taken as the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- The evidence is hearing; not by seeing. Our imperfect eyes, there are so many obstacles. So similarly, by direct perception you cannot have the truth
- The evidence is, the proof is, I am implicated that there are different varieties of life. You should know that "Why there are so many varieties of life?" That is explained here
- The evolution should be of the consciousness. And this is Krsna consciousness. When you come to Krsna consciousness, then your life is perfect. And fully Krsna conscious, then you, after giving up this body - no more material body
- The example given by them (Mayavadi philosophers) is that you rise up to a upper place with a wooden stair, and as soon as you reach there, you throw it away, so that you'll not be able to come back again

- The explanation of Vedanta-sutra, natural comment on Vedanta-sutra, is Srimad-Bhagavatam. Bhasyayam brahma-sutranam. This Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary
- The eyes are dictating some way, the tongue is dictating some way, the ear is dictating some way. Therefore, one should be trained up not to be dictated by the senses, but he must be master of the senses. That is called samah
- The eyes cannot work, therefore it is blind, similarly, the hand cannot work, the leg cannot work, the tongue cannot work, because at the last stage when this mechanical arrangement of this body will stop to function, that is called death
- The facility is, the other animals lower than the human being, they have not got to do any business or any profession or go from one country to another to earn livelihood. That is their advantage
- The faith begins from the tongue. "Why?" People will be surprised. "Faith must begin from the mind, from the eyes. And why it is said tongue?" They do not know
- The faith is not blind. There is proof. The cobbler was not blindly believing that Narayana was pulling an elephant through the hole of a needle, but he sees practically, the power of the Lord, how He keeps all the potencies of banyan tree within the seed
- The father helps the children to achieve Krsna and guru, that is real father
- The father never exploits the daughter. He gives all protection. That is the duty of the husband also. When she is grown up, she cannot remain under the protection of father. She is given, therefore, to a suitable boy to take charge
- The father wants to get her married, to get relief from the responsibility. He has a great responsibility. It is called kanya-daya

- The feelings of enjoyment is the same, either of the dog or of the hog or of the human being, everyone. The quality does not change
- The fighting between the Kurus and the Pandavas; first of all there was great endeavor to stop the fight. Krsna Himself became the messenger and was going from this party to another
- The fighting spirit is there in Krsna also. So when He wants to fight, in the Vaikuntha there is no possibility of fight. Nobody will be able to fight. Nobody will agree to fight. So there is no fighting

- The first beginning is satyam, and our leader says: "This is the qualification of an ass." So just see our position

- The First Canto or Second Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam are the two lotus feet of Krsna. So from the very beginning we should hear Srimad-Bhagavatam. Gradually, we shall come to the face. That is real understanding of Krsna
- The first defect of the civilization is that they are taking account of these fifty or sixty years of life. Life is continuation. That they do not know
- The first installment of benefit by chanting Hare Krsna mantra is that your consciousness becomes cleansed. And as soon as your consciousness becomes cleansed, the tribulations or the miserable condition of material life becomes extinguished
- The first necessity is to feed and to clothe. So there was no such scarcity. May not be very luxurious life, but there was no scarcity for food and shelter or cloth
- The first principle is that every devotee must try to rise early in the morning. That is first business. This practice should be done first. No one should sleep more than six hours
- The first question is, "What is the Absolute Truth, we should inquire now." This is the beginning of human life. If one does not inquire what is God, what I am, what is my relationship with God, that is animal life

- The first question was, "What I am? Why I am placed in this miserable condition of life in the material world, suffering three kinds of miserable condition?" Gramya-vyavahare kahe pandita
- The first sutra is athato brahma jijnasa: "Now you have to understand what is Brahman, or what is the Absolute Truth." The next aphorism is, immediately, that - The Absolute Truth is that from whom everything emanates, the original source of all emanation
- The first teaching is brahmacari should rise early in the morning. That is the general education. It doesn't require that you have to learn some book immediately. No
- The first utterances, order, or statement, or judgment, is given by the Supreme Lord, and if that is followed through the disciplic chain, that is real understanding, real knowledge
- The first-class example are the gopis or the inhabitants of Vrndavana. They are all trying to make Krsna happy. That is Vrndavana. If here also, if you try to make Krsna happy, this can be converted into Vrndavana, Vaikuntha
- The first-class example is Arjuna. He was a military man, a politician, and grhastha, ksatriya - not brahmana, not sannyasi - but still Krsna accepts him: sakha ceti, - For you are My dear friend
- The first-class example of toleration in the Western country: Lord Jesus Christ. He was being crucified; still, he did not take any steps
- The first-class human being, ideal human being, is the brahmana. And the second class, the ksatriya; the third class, vaisya; and fourth class, sudra
- The fishes in the water, they touch with the wings. Their wings are so perfect that three miles off, another big fish is coming to eat them, they can understand by the wings. Immediately they take protection. These are all described in the Bhagavata
- The five Pandavas, te sadhu, they have been described as sadhu, very honest, saintly, sadhu. Krta-sarvarthah. They have executed all their duties
- The flies, they go in a nasty place. So you should be cleansed. You should take protection in that way. You cannot kill them
- The foolish leaders, they are keeping us in darkness. Therefore Krsna personally comes. Whenever people are kept in darkness, that is called dharmasya glanih - BG 4.7
- The four classes of men: God, His devotee, innocent person and envious person, demons. So the person who is promoted to the second stage, he'll deal with these four classes of division differently. Isvara-prema
- The four principles of material existence means birth, death, old age and disease. We can manufacture many medicines, many weapons, many means, many methods, but you cannot escape these four principles of material existence, however great you may be
- The four principles of material inebrieties, namely birth, death, old age & disease, nobody has been able to check it in the past history of human society, and how you can believe that in future these problems, will be solved by the advancement of science
- The four sampradayas: Ramanuja, Madhvacarya, then Visnu Svami. Vallabhacarya belongs to the Visnu Svami group, and we belong to Madhvacarya, so there is no difference
- The fourth symptom is that a guru, the spiritual master, encourages prasada distribution, remnants of foodstuff distributed to the public. Ours is not dry philosophy, simply we talk and go home. No
- The full knowledge of the controller and the process of controlling can be understood when one is surrendered like Arjuna to Krsna. Unless one is surrendered soul, it is not possible
- The GBC members should divide some zones and see very nicely, that they are chanting sixteen rounds, and temple management is doing according to the routine work, and the books are being thoroughly discussed, being read, understood practically
- The German war, First World War, what is the cause? The cause was that the Britishers will not allow the Germans to trade all over the world. They captured everything. And they'll purchase from Germany goods and cheat people
- The Germans, they could not do business throughout the whole British Empire. We know, Indians. So they were very much envious of these British people, and therefore they started two big wars, world war

- The God has begotten many sons. The only worthy son was Jesus Christ - you can interpret it like that - because he was giving service to the Lord, to the father. He brought the message of father
- The God, He is also with me always as friend. So it is said in the Upanisad, there are two birds in one tree. The two birds means I, individual soul, and God, the Supreme Soul
- The godly qualities are there, but it is covered. That covering is possible due to our very minuteness, very small quantity. Therefore we are fallible, but Krsna is not fallible
- The gopis approached Krsna actually by lusty desires, the kamat. Bhayat: and Kamsa was thinking of Krsna out of fearfulness. Dvesyat: the Sisupala, he was always envious of Krsna
- The gopis, they are going to Krsna, superficially the same thing, like the young girls are going to a young boy, but they are going for Krsna's satisfaction, not for their own satisfaction. That is the sublime
- The Gosvamis were always thinking of the gopis service to Krsna. Gopi-bhava-rasamrtabdhi

- The gross materialists, they are animal-killers. These animal-killers, according to Bhagavata also, they cannot understand finer things
- The grosser elements are visible, but the creation takes place from finer elements
- The guru, the spiritual master and the government should be careful that - These rascals may not make plan. This rascal may not make plan to be happy
- The hankering after peace and prosperity in the world in a Godless concept of life is simply an utopian dream. People must take to God-consciousness and surely they will be happy in all respects

- The human life is meant for understanding what I am and what is God, what is my relationship with God. That is the real purpose of human life
- The human society is divided into four: first class, second class, third class, fourth class, and pancama means fifth class. So these dog-eaters, they are considered as the fifth class
- The human society is meant for understanding what is God. That is the privilege of human being. We come to this form of human being after many, many births
- The human society, human being, is endowed with such nice development of consciousness that there is automatic enquiry, which is explained in the Vedanta-sutra as athato brahma jijnasa, enquiry. Enquiry about the soul
- The human welfare activities are now developed in the form of United Nation. They are tackling various subject matter, but still, it is not possible
- The husband and wife, working as God has given them to work. So they're working, taking care of the child. So after earning money, they'll go home. They have got a little cottage, and the wife will cook, the husband will eat, and they're peaceful
- The idea that "This material world is for my enjoyment," that is false. As soon as you take things that "It is for my enjoyment," then it is false. Because you cannot enjoy
- The ideals of human society is broader than in the Middle Age, and the world tendency is towards one state or one human society
- The impersonalist Mayavadis, they undergo severe austerities, penances, and rise up to the Brahma effulgence, becomes merged into it, but again falls down. Just like the spark: it enters the flame of the fire, but there is again chance of falling down
- The impersonalist, as soon as they see some personalist, they begin to attack by arguments. So those who are not very highly developed, they avoid. But those who are conversant, they argue, so on
- The impersonalist, they think, we are cent percent one with the Lord or the Supreme Absolute Truth, but that is not a fact. If one is cent percent one with the Supreme Lord, then how he has come under the control of maya? This question, they cannot answer
- The impersonalists quotes these authorities that, "He has no hands and . . . therefore He's impersonal." No, it is not . . . if He sees, sa aiksata, if He sees, if He hears, if He creates, then there is hand, there is eyes
- The impersonalists, they think that in the material varieties there are so many abominable inebrieties, therefore in the spiritual world all these things should be minus, void. That is their material calculation
- The individual soul is also knower, conscious, and the Supersoul, God, is also conscious. So we also admit universal consciousness, that is God's consciousness
- The intelligence is that "Why I am put into miserable condition of life?" That is intelligence. That intelligence was found in the life of Sanatana Gosvami
- The intelligent man should know this, that: "I want permanent settlement in my life, but that is not being done." Only intelligent man can understand, because intelligent means to understand we are all eternal. Why should we accept this temporary body
- The jail department is criminal department, prison, where citizens are put into jail and given trouble. So if the prisoner says: "Why the American government has created this prison department?" is that valid question?
- The jihva, in the very beginning, jihva, the tongue, should be controlled. If we can control the tongue, then other senses will be automatically controlled
- The Kabul proposal sounds very nice and hippies are already there. If you begin your movement with hippies, then gradually the local inhabitants will take interest
- The Kali's friends . . . just like a man is known by his company. So Kali-yuga is the age of irreligion. Therefore, quarrel and fighting. Quarrel and fighting, communal fighting
- The karmis, he should think that, "I'll live forever." Otherwise he cannot work. He cannot. Unless he is put into this ignorance that he'll never die, he cannot work
- The karmis, the rascals, he knows also that he will die - at least, theoretically accept - but he wants to enjoy, since the death does not come, to the fullest extent. That is the present condition of the society
- The killer of the animals are two kinds: one, gross killer, killing cows, goats, chickens, so many. Another killer is soul-killer
- The king used to rule over the citizens on the permission of the great, great sages. Just like Narada, the devarsi. He used to visit Maharaja Yudhisthira. Similarly, other kings
- The knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is very, very confidential. Jnanam me parama-guhyam yad vijnana-samanvitam. It is not sentiment. It is full of scientific knowledge
- The Krsna conscious person is sleeping, chanting Hare Krsna. This can be done. If you practice this Hare Krsna, even in sleeping you'll chant Hare Krsna. Everything depends on practice
- The ksatriyas are trained up, hunting. Hunting is allowed for the ksatriyas. Just like medical practitioners, they are trained up how to practice surgical operation on dead body
- The Kumaras, they said: "My dear father, we are not going to marry. We are not going to be entangled in this material way of life. We shall remain as brahmacari and cultivate KC." Oh, the father was very angry. - Oh, you are refusing my order
- The Kuruksetra is dharma-ksetra. Still Kuruksetra is there in India. People go there for performing religious ritualistic ceremonies. So where is the difficulty to understand
- The land, water, fire, air, sky, these five elements, they are described in the Bhagavad-gita, bhinna me prakrtir astadha - They are separated energy, inferior quality energy
- The last instruction of Bhagavad-gita is sarva-dharman parityajya. You have created so many religious principles, so many concocted spiritual ways of life or material ways of life. Somebody are materialist and somebody are so-called spiritualist
- The laws are going on nicely, the law and order department examines. So that examiner, departmental, may be, but the original examiner is the Supreme Lord, Krsna. Therefore Krsna says, maya adhyaksena - Under My superintendence
- The laws of nature is applicable to everyone. You believe this religion or that religion, it doesn't matter
- The leader must be perfect. If the leader is blind, how can I accept such blind leader? I am blind man. What is the use
- The leaders say that "India, giving more stress on the soul, not on the body, India's position is so degraded." This is the leaders' opinion. Big, big leaders, they think
- The life was meant for understanding Krsna, but he is cultivating the culture of naked civilization, how to become naked. "So all right, next time you'll remain naked for many thousands of years, standing in one place as tree." This is going on
- The living entities and the Supreme Being, they are full of enjoyment. - Why we are seeking enjoyment here in this matter? Everyone is seeking after enjoyment. But they are seeking after false enjoyment
- The living entities are described in the Bhagavad-gita, prakrti. Prakrti means woman. And purusa means man
- The living entities are traveling from one planet to another. It is not that we can simply go to other planets by the mechanical arrangement of the sputnik
- The living entity and the Supreme Person as Paramatma, both of them are sitting in this body. That is explained in the Upanisad as two birds are sitting in the same tree. One bird is eating, and one bird is witnessing
- The living entity is entrapped. This body is the combination of these twenty-five elements. So that is for the living entity, saguna Brahman. Saguna Brahman means living entity. But it is not for Krsna
- The living entity is one in the sense because he is part and parcel of God. So if God is gold, the living entity is also gold. That is one in quality. But God is great and we are minute, small. In that way we are different
- The living entity is superior because it is controlling the inferior energy, matter. These are very scientific. It is not sentiment
- The living entity's enjoying the fruit of the tree, and the other living entity, Supreme, Paramatma, He's simply witnessing. Witnessing, and giving you the result of your fruitive activities. That is called karma
- The living entity, his real constitutional position is to serve God. We have several times explained this fact, that the part and parcel of God must be engaged in the service of the Lord
- The living soul who is seated in such a favorable condition, if he does not cross over the material ocean, then he is making suicide
- The living spirit is eternal, the Lord is eternal, and their exchange of feelings, or loving feelings, that is also eternal
- The Lord has appeared yesterday, 4th March. Not exactly 4th March. It is called, according to Vedic calendar, Gaura-purnima, the full-moon day of the month of Phalguna
- The Lord says that "All the universal planets, they are resting on My energy." The weightlessness energy, according to the modern materialistic science, how it is possible? That weightlessness we cannot manufacture
- 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 that, "You cannot stop your work, neither you can enjoy the activities, the fruit of your activities." That is the work on spiritual plane
- The Lord says: "I am the proprietor of all planets." Somebody may say: "Oh, Krsna is claiming the proprietorship of everything. How is that?" Because in the material world we are always envious
- The love is there from the very beginning. The propensity was there, and immediately the object of love is there. A girl has got husband; a husband has got a wife. So the love continues spontaneously
- The love is very conducive. Otherwise, love is possible with any living entity. The central object of love is Krsna. That is Vrndavana
- The lower animals than the human being, they have no economic problem. They are freely living. In the morning they do not care where they shall eat. But there is eating
- The lower bodies, less than the human form of body . . . According to Darwin theory, the human form of body comes from monkey
- The lust is dictating that "You do this nonsense." "Yes, I'll do. Yes, I'll do." So in this way, we are actually servant of our senses and the dictation of the senses. This is our position
- The magnitude of the soul is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair, very small. I think smaller than the atom. That spirit soul is everywhere. Sarva-gata. Everywhere
- The magnitude of the soul is stated in the sastra, 1/10000 part of the tip of the hair. We cannot measure even the tip of the hair, and how we can measure it
- The main trouble is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9). It will go on, unless we surrender to Krsna. Better surrender in this life and be perfect; then things are all right
- The man born in the family of candala, he is able to deliver his whole dynasty. Whole dynasty, sa kulam. This very word is used here, pranam punati. He personally becomes purified. There is no doubt about it
- The man does not know, "Where the horses are dragging me, either in the hell or heaven? I do not know." But the horses are not controlled, simply running, high speed. That these motorcars are running this way and that way
- The man must be responsible. To keep more than one wife by trained-up man is not disallowed
- The man or woman becomes lusty accidentally, and there is sex and therefore the creation of the child. This is their theory
- The man who is attacked, he forgets himself, and he speaks and walks according to the dictation of the ghost. That is called ghostly-haunted man
- The man who is offering that sacrifice, he becomes responsible. These are therefore there are so many hymns in the Vedic literature. So whole idea is that by offering such sacrifices man is restricted from flesh-eating
- The man who is talking, he is also bad man. Everyone is bad man. Here there is no good man. Do you think in the prison house any good men go there? All criminals
- The master says: "I will give you some money," they will vote. Or in other words, kalau sudra sambhava. Sudra means servant. The dog is faithful servant; that is his only qualification
- The material nature is apara prakrti, and we living entities, we are trying to enjoy this prakrti. Therefore sometimes the living entity, either man or woman, he is described as purusa
- The material, physical elements, they are inferior quality, energy, of Krsna. But the superior quality of energy we are, living entities
- The materialistic person, they cannot understand why we are worshiping Deity. They are puzzled. They think, "Why these fools are taking one brass doll and worshiping as God?" They laugh. You see? They cannot understand
- The materialistic person, they have only one experience: this cosmic manifestation. Beyond this, they have no other vision. Their senses are imperfect
- The Mayavada philosopher says that "We are in maya, and as soon as the maya is taken away, we are God." So we are not God, but we manifest our godly qualities when maya is taken away
- The Mayavada philosophy says that, - We are now under the control of maya. Therefore we have forgotten that we are all Gods
- The Mayavadi philosophers say that, for the benefit or for the facility of the neophyte progressing in the spiritual knowledge, we have to imagine some form of the Brahma. That is not the fact. We do not find these things in the Vedic literature
- The Mayavadi philosophers, they are going to Himalayas or some secluded place for personal benefit. But a Vaisnava, he has no desire for personal benefit
- The Mayavadi philosophers, they are thinking, "Again attraction like this? So make it zero, no attraction. Become zero." So their philosophy is zero philosophy. That is also no information of the spiritual world
- The Mayavadi thinks like that, that "We are one, Krsna and we. We are one." Yes, we are one - in quality. The same thing: just like the fire and the spark
- The Mayavadis, they cannot understand that the Supreme Absolute Truth can be controlled by the devotee. They want to become one
- The meat-eaters are the most sinful. They cannot understand. Vina pasughnat, nivrtta-tarsair upagiyamanat (SB 10.1.4). They will have no access
- The medical practitioners say: "We cannot guarantee. We are trying our best. That's all." Similarly, when a person is drowning in the water, if you send a good boat to save him, that is also not guaranteed
- The medical science also says all the energy is coming from the heart. The heart stops to work, that means man is dead. So the soul and the Supersoul both are sitting in the heart
- The mind being affected by the material contamination, we are suffering so-called miserable condition of life. It is due to the mind
- The mind is so strong. Every fish in the water, although they are expert, they're in always in danger. They are always afraid of being eaten by bigger fish
- The miser, the opposite word is liberal or brahmana. Miser knows his self-interest, "How much nice foodstuff I have got to eat daily." That's all. And liberal, - How much krsna-prasada I am distributing to the world
- The miserable condition of life is this body. When I get another body, sometimes we find that on top of the very tall bamboo or tall mountain, I am just now, I'm falling down
- The miserable condition of material life is compared with the blazing fire in the forest. As it is very difficult to extinguish the forest fire, similarly, the problems of material life cannot be extinguished simply by material benefits
- The miserable conditions of material life have been pointed out by Sri Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita. Krsna says that the problem of life is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9), meaning that birth, death, old age and disease
- The mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His desire, was preached by Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami. And we are also following in their footsteps and preaching the same message
- The mistake of the Mayavada philosophy is that "You are the same." You are the same in which way? I am the same in quality, not in quantity
- The modern civilization is everyone is sent for academic education. That is mistake, waste of time
- The modern rascals, they have taken this world as everything. Therefore they are in ignorance. Do you follow? They have taken this world, this life of fifty years or sixty years, at most hundred years, as reality
- The modern scientists, they are of opinion that life comes from matter. We say, "No, life comes from life. Matter comes from life." This is satyam
- The modern scientists, we are trying to go to the moon planet. It is failure. They will never be able to go there. I have discussed this point. We are conditioned
- The modern so-called philosophers, scientists, scholars, they say: "I think. I think." What is your value? The great personality, they will not say like that. Never they will say
- The more the age of Kali-yuga will increase, these things (human becoming animals) will also increase more and more, more and more. Later on, you won't get foodstuff. You will be obliged to kill some animal and eat
- The more they become materially advanced, they'll decry, "Oh, there is no God," "I am God," "We don't care for God. Why you are clamoring for God?" Their business is simply to decry God
- The more we shall advance this material way of life, the more we shall be away from spiritual life. The human life, is meant for spiritual realization. Nothing more
- The more you become expert in arcana, ye yatha mam prapadyante (BG 4.11), then the more you become realized, then more you become advanced. So therefore, for kanistha-adhikari, he has to raise himself
- The most important, because they (five thousand temples) were established by the Gosvamis - Rupa, Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta, Dasa Raghunatha - the six Gosvamis, direct disciple of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- The most welfare activities, the most valuable welfare activity, is to spread this Krsna consciousness movement all over the world. Otherwise they are being carried away by maya
- The mother eating; from that eating the child is also eating, the intestine is connected how much mechanical arrangement is there? Can any medical science, any scientist connect even this is matter
- The motorcar civilization, it was born. And now the time has come it is dwindling, and it will be finished. Just like railway, railway no more interest, anybody. But when it was invented, it was very important. Now it is useless
- The muscles become slackened, old man, because the air control or air circulation is not proper. There are many medicines, many practice of yoga
- The name of Krsna is cintamani, transcendental. It is not this material sound, material name. Nama cintamanih krsnas caitanya. Living force, caitan. It is not dead sound
- The natural commentary of Vedanta-sutra is Srimad-Bhagavatam. Jivasya tattva-jijnasa. This is our life, jivasya, of every living being. Every living being means especially human being
- The nature's law is that to keep up your body you have to kill another body. Never mind it is vegetable or, I mean to say, animal or some fish or something else
- The negative side is described that he (a grhastha) is not interested with this worldly, so-called advancement of social position or advancement of economic problem
- The next business is to teach others, to make disciple. Formerly, even fifty year or sixty years ago in India, a brahmana would not accept anyone's service
- The next door is a karmi's house, and this house is a temple. What is the difference? The difference is: in this house everyone is engaged to fulfill Krsna's desire, and the other house, everyone is engaged in fulfilling his own desire
- The next incarnation is Lord Buddha. Lord Buddha, he decried the Vedic principles. Therefore he is calculated as atheist. Anyone who does not agree with the Vedic principle, he is considered as atheist
- The nondevotees, the impersonalist, they undergo severe penances and austerities undoubtedly, and they rise up to the brahma-jyotir. Aruhya krcchrena param padam tatah patanty adhah (SB 10.2.32). From there, he again falls down
- The one process (to get out of stringent laws of material nature) is voluntarily giving up. Just like Yudhisthira Maharaja. He is the king. He is giving up a royal dress. Valayadi
- The only fault is that little boy (Prahlada Maharaja), he was chanting Hare Krsna. That is his fault. The father could not. Therefore they are called sura-dvisam, always envious of the devotees. Demon means always envious of the devotee
- The only Lord, master, is Krsna. I have explained, ekale isvara krsna (CC Adi 5.142). Isvara, the supreme isvara, controller, is Krsna. He is the objective of worshiping
- The only process for perceiving Krishna and His name, qualities, form is our sincere service attitude with our senses. Beginning from the tongue, all our senses are practically led by the tongue sense, whose business is to vibrate and to taste
- The only shelter is this Krsna consciousness. Papi tapi yata chilo hariname uddharilo. They can be only saved by this process. Otherwise they are going to hell. All Americans, the so-called puffed up materialist. This is a fact
- The only special significance of human being is that he has got special intelligence to understand what is Absolute Truth. Athato brahma jijnasa. So therefore his first duty is to know the Absolute Truth - not waste time for eating, sleeping, mating
- The opposite number is, mahat-sevam dvaram ahur vimuktes tamo-dvaram yositam sangi-sangam. Yosit. Yosit means enjoyable, female, or prakrti
- The ordinary man does not require to search out the guru to find out astrology: "Guruji, kindly tell me what will be the price next...?" Not that guru. Jijnasuh sreya uttamam. One who is serious to understand about the transcendental knowledge
- The original point is that tarko apratisthah. We cannot realize the Supreme Truth simply by argument or logical presentation or philosophical speculation. No
- The pancaratrika-vidhi, they do not recognize anybody as qualified brahmin. Everyone sudra, beginning from the lowest stage. Get him conversant in Krsna consciousness, and then initiated, and gradually elevate him by this process
- The part and parcel of the Supreme, they fall down - some of them - not all. So therefore the living entities, they are different from the Supreme. They are one in quality with the Supreme, but not in quantity
- The past, present and future are open for everyone. There is no restriction. No one says: "This class of men shall be good, and this class of men shall be bad." Anyone can become good
- The past, present of our is not the past, present of Brahma. It is relative. This kala is working relatively. Therefore this is called relative world. So this prime factor of relativity is kala. That is the twenty-fifth element
- The path of spiritual realization is for him who has a slight mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Athapi te deva padambuja-dvaya-prasada-lesanugrhita. Prasada means mercy - lesa, a slight
- The people are so much addicted to sinful activities. How they can be elevated? They are condemned. Only this movement, Krsna consciousness, if they take to this movement, they can be saved
- The people in this material world, they are very, very busy. Not only men - even the animals, even the birds, beasts, insect. We see on the beach, there are so many dogs, and they are assembled there for sex. So this is the material world, indriya-priti
- The people of modern civilization, they have no information about this, how this body is being created. That simply busy with the present problem. That's all
- The perfection will be when a yogi at his sweet will can leave this body and can go any planet he likes. Not only within this material universe, but also even, if he likes, he can go to the spiritual planet also. That is yoga
- The period when I give up this body, enter into the womb of mother and manufacture another body and come out, it takes about seven months
- The person who has discovered this nuclear weapon, atomic bomb, he's certainly genius. He has got nice brain, that simply egg-like bomb, if you throw, immediately the whole island of Hawaii will be finished
- The philosophy is acintya-bhedabheda, inconceivable one and different simultaneously. One in quality, but different in quantity. I have got some creative power, and God has got creative power. So the creative power is there
- The philosophy of Lord Caitanya is that Krsna is the only object of worship. And as Krsna is object of worship, similarly, His place, Vrndavana, Vrndavana-dhama
- The philosophy, it is said, nasau munir yasya (CC Madhya 17.186). One philosopher is differing from another philosopher. Just now today Syamasundara has purchased one book about different philosophers. So that, you also cannot ascertain what is truth
- The physician is giving some medicine and some diet. So if we follow the directions of the physician and eat the diet prescribed by him, there is hope of curing the disease. This is one way
- The pilot may be a small man, and the airship may be very gigantic. You can make still more. But the pilot is the same. So the body may be elephant or a small ant, but the pilot is the same. That is real understanding
- The plan should be made that everyone should be God conscious. Then every plan will be successful. Otherwise all, everything will fail
- The platform where we are concerned with the senses, that is called karma
- The politicians, administrative class, they are under the guidance of the intelligent class. They administer to keep the society in peaceful condition, in order
- The present endeavor is to transfer one to the moon planet. But as we get information from the Vedic literature, we cannot transfer ourself by mechanical arrangement to the moon planet. That is not possible. This is futile attempt
- The present population, godless population, is the cause of all disturbances. In the Bhagavad-gita you'll find varna-sankara. Varna-sankara means unwanted population
- The present senses cannot appreciate. It has to be purified. That purification begins from the tongue. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Then God reveals
- The president, treasurer and secretary, they will deal directly, and GBC should inspect book, account, that it is done very nicely. That's all
- The primary sense enjoyment is eating, sleeping, sex life and defense. So where there is want of these four facilities? The birds have got these facilities
- The problems of eating, problems of sleeping, problems of defending and problems of mating, or sex life, these problems are there in the animal life or amongst the living entities lower than the human beings
- The process introduced by Caitanya Mahaprabhu . . . It is not introduced by Caitanya Mahaprabhu; it is the sanction in the sastras: sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam (SB 7.5.23). This is standard method
- The process is first of all you try to understand Krsna. Without understanding Krsna, which is very difficult subject matter . . . Krsna says that yatatam api siddhanam kascid vetti mam tattvatah - BG 7.3
- The process is sevonmukha, service. Service, beginning with the tongue, vasudeva realization is possible
- The process is that we must approach to a perfect person and take his instruction as it is. Then our knowledge is perfect. Without any argument. We accept Vedic knowledge like that
- The process is very easy, but we do not want to follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita, but simply falsely I am proud that - I am reading Bhagavad-gita
- The process of reviving their Krsna consciousness is Krsna's. No other process will help. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He was Krsna Himself. He advised, harer nama harer nama harer nama eva kevalam - CC Adi 17.21
- The pujaris allowed him (Bhaktivinoda Thakura) to bring the child before the Deity, and the child was placed before the Deity and a garland was offered by Jagannatha. So that was the first sign of his becoming the acarya
- The pujaris were given in Vrndavana the temple, and they made it a source of income, just like the gosais are doing. Their puja goes to hell
- The purpose of creation is to give the conditioned soul, the rebellious soul, whose nature being constitutional nature is that he should be enjoyed by Krsna, but he has taken the wrong direction, that - I'll not be enjoyed by Krsna. I shall become Krsna
- The purpose of studying Veda means to understand Krsna. And Vedanta-vit. Because people are very much proud, especially Mayavadi philosophers, they're very much proud of becoming vedanti
- The purpose of studying Vedas is to understand Krsna. Or in other words, if anyone has understood Krsna, he has studied all the Vedas
- The purpose of studying Vedas means to understand Krsna, or God. When I speak of Krsna, you understand God. So when one understands what is God, what is Brahman, what is Krsna, what is Paramatma, then he is a Brahmana. This is the process
- The purpose of Vedas is to gradually to bring him to the point of nivrtti. Nivrtti, he has to make. When he has got a slight desire for material enjoyment, he'll have to accept another body. Therefore nivrtti is required
- The quality will change when this sense gratification will be transferred to Krsna, not sense gratification for me, for my family, for my society, for my nation, or for my species
- The Ramananda Raya, he was a sudra. According to social position, he was a sudra. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu took lessons from him
- The rascal professors, they say . . . he is saying that, "After death, everything is finished." After death everything finished - why? Why there are so many varieties of life
- The rascal says: "Why God has made one devotee and another nondevotee?" No. Not God has made. You wanted to become nondevotee? He has made you nondevotee, - All right, you become rascal number one
- The rascals should not take example that "Krsna encouraged killing. Therefore everyone should kill. There is no sin," without understanding. This is the difficulty
- The rascals were going to operate. He (the servant) was drunk. In drunken state he was crying, and they took it a case of operation. That is my practical experience. Everything you take there - Operation
- The real Bhagavad-gita is Krsna says that, "You surrender unto Me." Nobody says, neither Tilak, Gandhi, this Ramakrishna, this Aurobindo. Nobody says that. He's made purposefully avoiding his duty. And these rascals are going as dutiful
- The real business is jivasya tattva-jijnasa. Every human being should be inquisitive to know the Absolute Truth. That is the real business of human life. So to come to that business, you won't find mass of people. It is not possible
- The real fact is a scorpion lays down the egg within the rice, and by the fermentation it comes out, just like eggs, and the small creature comes out. And foolish creatures, they think it that the rice is producing scorpion. That is not possible
- The real purpose of marriage is to get children. So if the husband and wife simply love within the mind and there is no action, there is no prayojana-siddhi. We should be practical, not simply theoretical
- The real understanding is that "God, or Krsna, is the supreme father, and we are all sons of God." That is real knowledge. Therefore those who are in real knowledge, panditah sama-darsinah
- The real understanding of Krsna: that this material world is also Krsna. But we do not know how to use it for Krsna. Krsna's energy should be for Krsna's purpose. That is Vaisnava philosophy
- The real understanding should be that if in the real person all these features are not present, how they can be reflected in the photograph
- The religion must be there. But when we give up this religious process, then there is no more human life; it is animal life
- The religious life you cannot find in animal society. In the human society, either he may be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddha, Jews, anything, there is a kind of religious principles. So that is the beginning of human life - religion, dharma
- The root of our material enjoyment cannot be taken away, cannot be uprooted. The first process is called karma, and the second process is called jnana, and the next, it is suggested, bhakti
- The royal family has got very intimate relationship with Krsna consciousness. And as soon as that was broken - because sometimes it breaks - the religious process declined and the royal power also declined. That is the whole history of the world
- The rules and regulations is the drying process. But without following the rules and regulation, if you again become a victimized by maya, then there is water, and again dry it
- The sadhu will speak only on the authorities of sastra. And sastra means the description given by the sadhu. They are correlative. And guru means who follows the sadhu and the sastra. So these are very instructive
- The sadhu, saintly person, beginning from Vyasadeva, Narada, down to many acaryas, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, and latest, Lord Caitanya, in this way, they have accepted, - Yes. It (Bhagavad-gita) is spoken by Krsna
- The sadhus have been described in different way. A sadhu . . . because everything you want to learn, you have to take some penance voluntarily. So we have to give up something in the beginning
- The sahajiyas, they think like that, that by sex one can rise to that platform of merging into the effulgence of Brahman
- The saintly person, he blessed, ma jiva, er, jiva va mara va: "Either you die or live, it is all the same." And there was a hunter, he blessed him, ma jiva ma mara: "Don't die, don't live." This is very instructive
- The saintly persons, learned brahmins and sages, they would give instruction to the kings, because the king was in charge of the public affairs. So they would take instruction from the learned, and by their direction they would rule over the citizens
- The same hand, legs, heads, coat, pant, everything is lying there. Why do you say that your father has gone away? That means the real father he has never seen. He has seen the illusion of his father
- The same human being: one is in the darkness, one is in the passion, and one is in the goodness. And if you come to the goodness, then you see, brahma-darsanam. You can understand what is Absolute Truth
- The same incident sometimes happens in New York temple. When there is a shortage of funds, sometimes they find money accidentally without knowing the source
- The same jungle - I don't speak of the city life - even in jungle life, the aborigines, still they have got some cover. Now they are becoming naked, natural life, nudism
- The same propensities are there, but when it is applied for Krsna, then it is purified, and when it is applied for personal self, it is impure. This is the difference
- The same question was raised by Sanatana Gosvami, that why there should be struggle for existence? Why not easy life, peaceful life
- The same thing what Krsna taught in the Bhagavad-gita, Caitanya Mahaprabhu taught also in this Bhagavata-dharma teaching, and practically He showed how to do it. That is His specially
- The Sankara-sampradaya sannyasi are more strict than the Vaisnava sannyasi. Sankara sampradaya sannyasi, they'll never occupy a seat, those who are strictly following
- The sankirtana just now we have performed, it is vibration of the transcendental sound. This will help us in clearing the dust which we have accumulated on the surface of our mind
- The sankirtana movement is not manufactured in this material world. It is released from Vaikuntha, the spiritual world. Golokera prema-dhana . . . otherwise, why you are chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna . . .? It is not material sound
- The sankirtana-yajna is so nice that at once you get transcendental ecstasy, and from spiritual consciousness, you try to join. Even a child desires like that. This is the effect of the sankirtana-yajna
- The sastra is given stress always. So you cannot go beyond the verdict of the sastra. That is the injunction
- The sastra says that you should become free from becoming a good man or bad man. You must become a devotee. That is required. To become a good man of this world is not a very good qualification
- The sastra says, "In this age, Kali-yuga, because this garbhadhana-samskara is not observed regularly," kalau sudrah sambhavah, - everyone in the Kali-yuga is a sudra, because the garbhadhana-samskara is not observed
- The scarcity is that nobody's doing his real duty. Guna-karma-vibhagasah (BG 4.13). And people are exploiting. There is competition, dissatisfaction, fight. So many things, sinful activities. The whole society is polluted
- The schools, colleges, universities, institutions, they are meant for human being, not for the cats and dogs. So we must take advantage of these books, institution, knowledge, teachers. That is real human life
- The science of God is for persons who are not envious. That is religion. In the Bhagavata you will find in the beginning it is said, Here the religion of Bhagavata is not a cheating religion
- The scientist explain for so many varieties. They accept there are varieties. Why there are so many varieties of life
- The scientist, the philosophers, they are thinking, "This is all. There is nothing beyond this." This is illusion. This is only reflection of the reality
- The scriptures are many varieties. Srutayor vibhinna nasau munir yasya matam na bhinnam. And every philosopher must differ with another philosopher. Therefore, mahajano yena gatah sa panthah: we have to follow the footprints of great authorities
- The second scene is that Kali, the personified Kali . . . a person should be decorated blackish. A blackish man with royal dress and very ugly features. And his queen, another ugly-featured girl or lady
- The seed is the spirit soul, and by material contact it is covered by finer body - intelligence, mind and ego. And according to the quality of that ego, we develop different kinds of this material gross body
- The sense gratification can be available in every life, cats' and dogs' also. Why should we sacrifice the greatest boon of human life
- The sense is there, but if it is artificially covered, then even the facility is there, I cannot enjoy the sense perfectly. Similarly, we have got our senses, but our senses are now covered by this material body
- The senses are already there, either Buddhist or Mayavada. And Vaisnava philosophy is, - Not only come out of this miserable condition of life, but enter into Krsna's family and live peacefully
- The senses are not stopped, but when the gratification of the senses is directed towards Krsna, that is bhakti, and love. And when the sense gratification is directed towards personal self, that is lust. This is difference between lust and love
- The senses cannot work if the mind is absent. Therefore we call "attentively, concentrating your mind." So mind is above the senses
- The service begins from the tongue. You chant. Therefore we are giving you the beads to chant. That is the beginning of service: chant
- The service is his dharma, not this rubber stamp, "Hindu," "Muslim," "Christian." No. That is designation. Actual dharma means the characteristic
- The seva, the service, begins from the tongue, service. Not with the hand but with the tongue. If you simply chant Hare Krsna, this is seva, and if you take prasadam, then your business begins immediately
- The simple process of worship in this age is this performance as we are doing - chanting, hearing, and offering some fruits, flowers, and showing this candle. This is simple, that's all
- The sky creation means the air creation also, the reception of the sound. So in this way it is all described in the Srimad-Bhagavatam very nicely, how creation took place
- The sleeping man can be awakened simply by this process, allowing the sound to enter the ear. By no other process
- The small business is to serve the great. If the small falsely thinks himself that he is as great, that is ignorance
- The small particle, the soul, which is measured as one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair, when it is placed in the womb of the woman by the man, then the body grows. That is the seed
- The snake is going, and the other animal is going. Go, but the characteristic of snake is unnecessarily bites. This is the characteristic
- The so-called educated or advanced man, if we say that "You have to serve Krsna. This is not your duty. You are going to the office & earning daily five thousand rupees. That is simply useless. It is simply a waste of energy," who will believe it? Nobody
- The so-called educated persons, for want of Krsna consciousness, they can act less than even an animal. You see? They do not care for what is going in the next life
- The so-called good men of this world, who are engaged in so many welfare activities, humanitarian activities, by mental concoction, they may be all foolish activities in the estimation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The so-called leaders, they are blind themselves, and they are trying to lead other blind men. This is the social position. Therefore there is no more hope of reviving the Vedic culture
- The so-called philosopher, scientist and others, they are on the mental platform. Therefore they're inferior, apareyam
- The so-called philosophers, scientists, they have been taught by another not scientist, so he is also not scientist, not philosopher, because he has been taught by another andha. Just like one blind man leads other blind man. So what knowledge he will get
- The so-called protective methods that we have discovered, they will be useless if Krsna does not desire that you should live. They will be useless
- The so-called rascal scientists, they'll never accept that within this body there is the soul, because they're always thinking there is no such thing as soul; only the material, that's all. This is illusion
- The so-called religious system which is full of matsarata, jealousy, that is called kaitava-dharma, cheating in the name of religion. So this God consciousness is not a cheating religion. It is very broad-minded
- The so-called sannyasi, because they are atheist, they say that asatyam, "This material world is maya. It has no truth. What you are seeing, it is illusion." Asatyam. But we do not say like that
- The so-called scholars may take it as ordinary book, but one who is serious about Bhagavad-gita, he does not take Bhagavad-gita, the words of Bhagavad-gita or the teachings of BG, as ordinary teachings. This is confirmed. Therefore it is so important
- The so-called scientist, they are thinking that we are advancing in civilization from the primitive form, transport by bullock cart to motorcar. But that is not actually advancement
- The so-called scientists, philosophers, all dull-headed. It is very abominable condition of society. There is no man who is real brain
- The so-called scientists, Russian and American, for so many years they're trying to go to the moon planet, nearest planet. But there is no shelter
- The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers, their basic principle is wrong, and they're presenting some theories, and that is being accepted by people. That is cheating
- The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers, they have no intelligence. Therefore the whole society in the chaotic condition
- The so-called scientists, the so-called philosophers, poets, they are manufacturing ideas that, "We shall be happy in this way, in that way." So this will not help us, this manufacturing
- The so-called yogis, jnanis, karmis, or followers of religious, ritualistic ceremonies, they think, - How it is possible that these Hare Krsna people have become so quickly self-realized simply by chanting Hare Krsna
- The social division is brahmana first, then ksatriya, then vaisya, then sudra. And there is a spiritual division: brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa. This is compulsory regulation for becoming human being
- The society should be human society, not the cats' and dogs' society. That is Vedic conception. So in the Vedic conception of life the sex life is there, but you become indebted. You must repay the debts
- The soul goes to another body and we foolishly worship the dead body, which is useless. This is called bhutejya. In Sanskrit language it is called bhutejya. Ghost worship
- The soul is more valuable than the sun, because the sun is, after all, a matter, and the soul is spirit. Therefore the vast difference of value
- The sound is the symptom of the sky. By sound we can understand that there is sky, ether. Then, by sound vibration, there is circulation of air
- The spirit soul as I have described, one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair, it is very, very minute. From that minute spirit so much earth, water, fire is coming. So why not the supreme spirit, huge quantity of water, earth will not come
- The spirit soul is eternal, therefore he has got to come to the platform of eternal happiness, eternal life and full knowledge. That is the perfection of life
- The spirit soul is not contaminated or does not associate with the material modes of nature. It is simply an illusion, misidentification
- The spirit soul is the basis. Our body, very small particle, spiritual particle, takes shelter in the womb of the mother, and gradually the living spark develops this body. That is our practical experience
- The spiritual master is the representative of God. Whatever you offer to the spiritual master, it goes to God. Just like the tax collector. He collects taxes, but it goes to the government
- The spiritual master is the representative of Krsna, and He, Krsna, is sitting within your heart. And as you are anxious, your degree of anxiety will be helped by Krsna by sending similar quality of spiritual master
- The spiritual master is the representative of Krsna, and the duty allotted by him to a certain person, that should be his execution of spiritual duties
- The spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. How he becomes representative? What is the test
- The spiritual master may appear to be just like a common man, but he is to be respected as God, because he delivers the real message of God. That is the qualification of spiritual master. He does not manufacture anything. That is very easy
- The spiritual path, KC path, is just like sharpened razor. You take your sharpened razor and shave your cheek. If you are expert, it will be very clean-shaved. But if you are not expert, there is little inattention, immediately cut and blood
- The spiritual platform, there is no such (Russian body and American body) distinction because it is simply spirit
- The spiritual world, janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1), as it is said in the Vedanta-sutra, the origin of everything, the cause of all causes, that is full of spiritual varieties. That is not nirvisesa
- The sri-vigraha-seva - all rising early in the morning, arrange for mangala aratrik, then dressing, then offering food, then aratrik, so many hours. The whole day can be used in that way. Then reading books, class, taking care of the temple
- The Srimad-Bhagavata says that if you want to be free . . . free means just like you are trying to go to the moon planet by so many mechanical arrangements, but if you are free spiritually, then you can go any planet you like, immediately
- The Srimad-Bhagavatam gives enunciation of the word dharma, that sa vai pumsam paro dharmah. "That is the best system of religion," yato bhaktir adhoksaje, "by which one is trained to surrender unto the SPG." That is best religion
- The Srimad-Bhagavatam, the First Canto, Second Canto are two lotus feet of the Lord. We have to read very carefully, because we have to see, first of all, padambujam
- The state functions protecting the good citizen and punishing the criminals. That should be the state business. Wherefrom this idea came? What is called? Law and order department, or what is that
- The state laws, if you are criminal, they put you into the jail. But nature's law is such that you don't require. Your senses will keep you intact in jail. You don't require to be handcuffed
- The statement in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, they are meant for highly developed conscious person. They are not for ordinary person

- The superior energy, living entity, is managing how to collect this iron, copper, this, that, and make nice car. And he is riding on. And this material supply is given by the material energy. The intelligence is given by Krsna
- The Supersoul is also living along with these ordinary living entities as friends. That is described in the Upanisad, that two birds are sitting on one tree
- The Supreme God is Krsna. God means controller. You may have some controlling power, admitted, but you are not Supreme Controller. The Supreme Controller is Isvara
- The Supreme Lord can enter even within the atom. They are studying, modern scientists, the atomic energy, but still, they are perplexed. The smaller than proton, electron, and so many things

- The svami says that "You give me money. I make you immediately God." So this is blind following
- The symptoms of birth, one can understand, of course, through abhijna, those who are abhijna. By the gunas, one can - guna means quality - one can understand the past and future

- The twelve authorities are Brahma, Narada, Lord Siva and Kumara, Manu and Lord Kapila, Bhisma and Prahlada, Janaka and Yamaraja and this Sukadeva Gosvami, who is speaking the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Vaiyasaki. Vaiyasaki means - the son of Vyasadeva
- The two birds are sitting in one tree. One bird is eating the fruit of the tree, and the other bird is simply witnessing. That witness bird is God, Krsna, and the eating bird is atma. So He is giving chance, as we want

- The varnasrama system, Vedic system, that is the beginning of human life
- The vastranam-lila means that according to any human civilization, system, a woman can become naked only before husband. So Krsna fulfilled that

- The Western people, they are materially advanced. They do not possess, but their energy is utilized for converting things from one shape to another, that much, the energy being wasted

- There is still one place - you know better; you are Indian - there is place Kuruksetra still existing. Dharmaksetra, that is a religious place, place of pilgrimage. Still, people go for religious performances

- These are the first duty of the government, to see everyone is nicely situated so far his physical necessities are concerned. But a sane man, when he sees this disturbance, or everything mismanaged, he becomes very unhappy & tries to set up by KC movement
- These are the principles to be followed, that a brahmacari should always remain dedicated to the guru. Whatever collection he makes, he should offer to the spiritual master
- These boys and these girls, American, European, they have tasted all this motorcar civilization. They have tasted very nicely. Motorcar, nightclub and drinking, they have tasted very nicely. There is no happiness
- These boys, these girls, how they have become so nice? They are known as "bright-faced." Why? Because narayana-parayanah: they have taken seriously Krsna as the object of worship
- These Brahmavadi, these Nirakaravadi, although by austerities and penances they may rise up to the Brahman effulgence, still, they will fall down. Because we are living entities, we want varieties of enjoyment. We are not satisfied in void, in zero
- These children are being educated from the very beginning of their life how to become responsible man. This is the idea of our gurukula. So these children should be taught
- These communist countries, they work so hard. They rise up, 4:30, prepare for going to work. Then work begins at 6:30. Is it not more load than the ass? Still they have to do that, by force
- These Communists country, they have struggled for the last sixty years. They started from 1917. How many years
- These discussions (between Sanatana Gosvami and Lord Caitanya) which are going on, that is only for how to get liberation from the four principles of material condition, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi. That is called moksa, moksa, or liberation
- These earholes are meant for giving aural reception to the message of God. But they'll not do that. Therefore your mission is to go home to home, village to village, town to town, and give them injection, - Hear
- These English people, they were very expert in making propaganda. They killed Hitler by propaganda. I don't think Hitler was so bad man. What do you think? You are Englishman
- These European and American boys, unless there was Krsna consciousness dormant, how it could be invoked? It is not sentiment. It was there. Our business was just to arouse
- These European, American boys, because they're strictly following the instruction of Bhagavad-gita, therefore . . . Only thing is they're following the footsteps, according to sastra
- These European, American boys, they were also addicted to these sinful activities, but now they have given up, and they are understanding Krsna consciousness very nicely
- These four things are available, either you become a dog or a god. Not God; these demigods. In the material world, everyone is given the facilities for eating, sleeping, sexual intercourse and defense
- These four things are prohibited: illicit sex life, animal-killing, intoxication, and gambling. This is the preliminary understanding. Especially those who are higher caste - brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya - they are strictly forbidden
- These Gosvamis, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's direct disciples, they tried to establish sad-dharma, and we are trying to follow their footprints, footstep, to establish real dharma all over the world. This is Krsna consciousness movement
- These hands and legs are there because originally we are spirit soul, we have got hands and legs. This is the proof that we are not formless
- These jivas are products of this marginal energy, bhedabheda prakasa. Bheda means different, and abheda means one. So jiva is one and different simultaneous. He is one in quality; he is different in quantity
- These Krsna consciousness movement, the Westerners, they are understanding Krsna. It is very, very difficult subject matter
- These laws of nature means the force of the Supreme. So if you want to defy, you may waste your time. It is not possible. And practically, Krsna says - Here I have enforced this miserable condition of material life
- These material elements, they are inferior quality, and beyond this, there is another, superior quality. That is soul. - Jiva-bhutam maha-baho yayedam dharyate jagat (BG 7.5). So you have to know from the books
- These materialistic persons, denying the next birth, denying sinful activities, denying God, they're closing their eyes, that "There is no danger. Let us go on doing all this nonsense." But that will not save
- These materialists, they are certainly being pushed in the darkness. But there is another class, who are so-called philosopher, mental speculators, religionists, yogis, they are going still more in the darkness, because they are defying Krsna
- These Mayavadi rascals will say that, "The demigods are also maya, Krsna is also maya, everything is maya." Therefore we call them Mayavadi: everything maya; krsna-bhakti is maya. They say it is good for raising oneself to the platform of impersonalism
- These Naxalites, they are taken to the slaughterhouse, and they are taught how to kill. Therefore they do not care. Immediately beating by rocks, and as soon as he falls down
- These new boys, they are understanding our philosophy? Hmm? You are reading books
- These people are wasting time, as if they will live forever. What is the use of this karate? It is very popular in Mexico. But will that method save from death? When the death will come, will the sound "Go!" will save them? This is foolishness
- These people in New York City, they are working day and night. And karma means work and get some profit. That is called karma
- These professional Bhagavata readers, they take advantage of the people's inferior quality, of their weakness, and make money. That's all
- These qualities (satyam saucam daya ksantis) are not to be acquired. These qualities are there, but it is covered. Just like a sharpened knife: the cutting power is there, but when it is covered by dirt, it does not cut
- These rajarsis, they were great personalities. They were, although on the royal throne, they were not for luxury and tax collecting. No. They were just exactly like real father, always thinking of the happiness of the prajas. It was actual democracy
- These rascal misleading and therefore the human life and it is spoiled. - Therefore I was talking about the "What is the meaning of the independence ?" The life is spoiled
- These rascal, they do not know whether he's this body or something other than body, and they're philosopher. The basic principle of knowledge is lacking, and they're philosopher. Cheater
- These rascals are blind, and they are leading some other blind men, and they are satisfied that "We have got all scientific knowledge." That's all. That is not the way of scientific knowledge
- These rascals are so dangerous. They are going against the will of Krsna. You see? So one must be very careful to save himself from the poisonous effect of these rascals
- These rascals are thinking, "We are master." What master you are? You are under the control of nature fully. And these rascals, are thinking, - I am free. There is no God
- These rascals, asuras, they do not know which is the goal of life. But in which way we should direct? These rascals, they do not know. Still, they become public leaders, asuras
- These rascals, these conditioned souls, they want to lord it over this material world, and Krsna has to supply them. That is Krsna's business in this world, simply botheration. Just like so many children, and the father is put into difficulty
- 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 senses, present ten senses, cannot realize. Atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih. Indriya means sense. Then how to realize? Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. When you begin service with your tongue, then gradually God reveals
- These sentiments - morality, immorality, good, bad - they are simply manufactured. Actually, unless one surrenders to Krsna, there is no question of this ethics and morality
- These siddhas, those who are self-realized, athato brahma jijnasa... Even if he thinks that "I am the supreme," That is also light. Just like if you come to the sunlight, sunshine, that is also light, but that is not perfection
- These so-called educated scientists, philosophers, what they are doing? They are simply doing mischief. Therefore they are duskrtina. Duskrtina. Mudha. Mudha means rascal, ass. Because nobody knows what is the aim of life. They're exactly like the ass
- These so-called educated, they are bereft of knowledge. They have no common sense. That I was asking this debauch, as God. That also ignorance. He does not know what is God
- These so-called educationists, unless they get a good job, they are useless, street dog. Useless. They cannot earn even livelihood
- These so-called philanthropists or altruists, they take a section only, do good to them, but neglect others. Neglect others. Or others are enemies. But a sadhu is equipoised. He takes compassion for all kinds of living entities
- These so-called sannyasis, they give up everything - brahma satyam jagan mithya - Vivekananda or this Karpatri. Again they come to these material activities. Somebody takes social work, somebody takes political work
- 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
- These things (Drinking tea, drinking wine, smoking, meat-eating, Prostitution) should be taken care of - at least a class of men must be ideal for people, others will see. And the training should go on, just like we are doing
- These things (going to another girl and another man) should be stopped if you'll want to be serious; otherwise, make a farce and do whatever you like. I cannot give you protection. That is not possible
- These things (satya samo damas titiksa ksantir arjavam) are being lost; therefore in the Kali-yuga practically everyone is a sudra. Patita-adhama, adhama. Naradhamah. In the Bhagavad-gita also it is said
- These things (what is the value of life, goal of life, how to revive our eternal life) are to be known, and then your life, human life, is successful. And that chance is present before you in this form of KC movement. Take advantage of it and be happy
- 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
- These two classes of men, one is known as demigods, or servants of God, and another is called the servants of maya. Both of them are servants. Nobody is master. That is not possible
- These two things required in human life: jnanam vairagyam. Jnanam means "I am not this body." And vairagya means renunciation - If I am not this body, then what I have got to do with this material world?
- These two things required: how to get the pleasure or the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and how to go back home, back to Godhead. This is the aim, not that we are making plan to be happy
- They (aborigines) do not know that the fighting spirit should be utilized to declare war against maya. That is possible in human life. Athato brahma jijnasa
- They (Americans) are already inauspicity. The whole atmosphere is inauspicious. So if there is little more inauspicity, what is the wrong there? The more inauspicity will come
- They (Americans) do not know even the hygienic principle. What is the question of purification? You see? In India the system is from childhood, a child is trained to take bath, to wash teeth in the morning
- They (anyone who does not know what is God) are not innocent; they are stupid. They are not innocent. They will never agree
- They (big mudhas) are falsely thinking that they have become liberated, they have become Narayana. How you can become Narayana
- They (big, big scientists or big, big philosophers) talk of millions of years, but personally they live only fifty or sixty years, that's all. This is their position
- They (birds) know, "Here is . . . enemy is coming," even fishes, animals, they know. As soon as there is enemy, they take protection
- They (blind leaders) do not know what is the object of life, what is the destination of life. Simply in blind faith they have created so many isms. It is simply misleading
- They (brahmin class of men) do not endeavor for material opulence, apparently they look very poor. But actually, they are rich in knowledge
- They (British people) had very good opportunity. Still they have got opportunity. So my request is that let us study this philosophy and science and if possible introduce it to the human society. That is our proposal
- They (Buddha philosophy) do not take account of the mind, because as soon as they go to the platform of mind, then immediately the question will be "Whose mind? Whose intelligence?" Then you have to come to the spirit soul
- They (Christians) want to support their killing process in so many ways. They'll never agree that, "Yes, Christ says not to kill. We should stop it." No. They want to support it by various interpretation
- They (color, shape, taste and chemical reaction) are stated for each and every chemical, and we can understand the purity by the characteristic. The characteristic is also called dharma
- They (combination of matter: earth, water, etc.) are very finely analyzed by the sankhya philosophy system, by Vedic system, into twenty-four elements. And according to some, twenty-five, and according to some, twenty-six
- They (communist government) are advertising equal facility to everyone, to the worker. The worker is still working. They are going, still walking on the street to go to the factory. So in this way the whole civilization is going on simply by bluffing
- They (cowherd boys) were equal with Krsna, therefore they could show mercy. You are not equal
- They (Demigods) are very peaceful by nature. But by Your this fierceful appearance, they have become fearful. So because Your incarnation is for them, now You become pacified so that they may also become pacified
- They (demonic people) will tolerate all kinds of noise - barking of the dogs, the motorcar passing, the aeroplane on overhead - but as soon as there is kirtana, they're disturbed
- They (demonic people) will tolerate so many different types of noise, but they'll not tolerate kirtana. That is from the very beginning
- They (devotees from Western countries) would never agree to sit down under the tree and imitating Rupa Gosvami. That is not possible
- They (devotees) are not liable for my (Yamaraja) punishment. Even they commit some mistake or fall down, or even they commit a very sinister, sinful activity, still, they are not under my jurisdiction
- They (devotees) are not under the control of maya. They are controlled directly of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore they have no fear. The Krsna says, - Anyone who surrenders unto Me, I take charge of him
- They (dog-eaters in Assam) make a very nice dog preparation. They give the dog to eat rice and molasses mixed together and try to get it eat more and more, so that by suffocation it dies eating, eating
- They (eating, sleeping, mating and defending) should be so regulated in Krsna consciousness that it will not be disturbing element, but we shall make progress further and further towards spiritual realization of Krsna consciousness
- They (Gosvamis) had no collection. And they had no preaching mission. They were simply writing books. Nana-sastra-vicaranaika-nipunau, very expert to study different scriptures, just to get the essence of scripture and give to the people
- They (government) are neglectful about this brain, brahmana. That is the defect of modern civilization. Therefore the human society is in more or less chaotic condition
- They (hippies) are no longer satisfied to live materially opulent like their fathers and grandfathers. In other countries also, the same symptoms are there. Just like in India, the Naxalites. So that is another form of confusion
- They (in the villages) will take one napkin and wash the cloth, and India, tropical climate, here also, and spread it on the floor. Within five minutes it will be dry, and then change clothes
- They (Indra, Candra and so many demigods) are looking after the management of this universe. Bhrgv-adayah. But they are also attacked, contaminated, by these qualities of ignorance and passion and goodness
- They (karmis) are fools and rascals, because for illusory happiness for a moment, they are working so hard. Therefore they are rascal number one. How they can have peace? There is no question
- They (Krsna's 160,000 children) had ten children again. This is Yadu family. This is Krsna's family. So many, one person. And that is called Bhagavan
- They (living entities) have come for material enjoyment, and everything is being supplied by the Supreme Lord. We have no right to kill them. The same thing. Just like the father will never agree to kill a worthless child by the competent boy
- They (many saintly persons) are always afraid that - If I mix with these ordinary people in the city, I may be disturbed, I may fall down. Better let me save myself first of all
- They (Mayavadis) may rise up to the param padam, brahma-pada, but anadrta-yusmad-anghrayah, because they could not take up the service of the lotus feet of the Lord, they fall down
- They (mayavadis) say jagad mithya, and take sannyasa, and for some days they remain meditation or aloof from any worldly affairs, but later on, when they do not find Brahman, they come again to this maya to open hospitals, schools, as sannyasi
- They (members of Krsna consciousness) do not think anymore that "I belong to this category." No. Otherwise they could not work. Every one of them completely aware that - We are all Krsna's servants
- They (modern scientists) are studying evolution of this matter, organic matter. But actually that is not the fact. The fact is that we, individual soul, that is the real fact
- They (Napoleon, Hitler and Gandhi) falsely thinking, "Without me, everything will be lost." But they are kicked out; everything is going on
- They (people) think that this life is meant for highest grade of sense gratification. That is the general thinking. In this (Hawaii) city, any city you go, they are struggling very hard
- They (people) think, "By increasing motorcars, we shall be happy." This is called maya. That will not help. This motorcar civilization will be finished within another hundred years
- They (philosophy and religion) should be combined or religion must be based on philosophy. Then it is perfect. We cannot separate these two things
- They (political parties) cannot give the real law so that the citizens may be happy and peaceful. That is the defect
- They (Ramakrishna Mission) may think themselves that they are very full of life, but I think they are dead. What is the use of fighting with the dead body? Dead horse, and what is the use of you whipping? A dead horse will rise up by whipping
- They (rascal leaders) do not know what is the ideal of life, what is the aim of life. They are creating hodgepodge civilization and putting the mass of people in chaotic condition. This is the sum and substance
- They (Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami) resigned from the service and joined Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement. That is the history. All the direct disciples of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, they were very big personalities
- They (sages to Suta Gosvami) ask the reason, "Why the king, Maharaja Pariksit, punished that Kali in the dress of a king? If possible, kindly describe the reason. And provided it will help our Krsna consciousness." This is the condition
- They (Sanatana Gosvami & Rupa Gosvami) are not accepted in the society. They changed their name, Sakara Mallika and Dabira Khasa. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu picked them up and made them gosvamins. Gosvamins means they are great teachers, guru
- They (sannyasis following the principles of Sankaracarya) are undergoing, severe austerities.Why? Now, to rise up to the Brahman realization - aruhya krcchrena param padam (SB 10.2.32) - param padam, that impersonal Brahman effulgence
- They (scientists) have no idea what is material world or spiritual world. But in that way a creation took place. Can anyone say what is the theory or. . . of creation? Can any one of you say? What do they say about the creation
- They (scientists) simply theorize in so many ways, but they cannot give us any positive information
- They (so-called rascal scientists) cannot explain how this body is moving, why the dead body does not move, what is the difference, what is the thing that is missing. These rascals will not understand
- They (so-called scientists & philosophers) are the heads of education and public leaders. Andha yathandhair upaniyamanah (SB 7.5.31). They do not know what is the objective of life; what for the human life is meant. They do not know
- They (so-called scientists) are promising, "By scientific method, we shall make man deathless." Do they not say? But have they made him deathless? Simply a dream, that's all. Utopian dream
- They (soldiers) know, "We are going to give up our life." And what for? "Money." They are prepared to give up life for money. Money is so sweeter than honey
- They (sudras) have no intelligence to become brahmin, neither to become ksatriya, administrator, or to occupy political powers; neither they have energy to become very rich businessmen or industrialists. Therefore they are called fourth-class men
- They (the Gosvamis) never said that "Now I have seen Krsna." Never said. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also said that - I was dreaming Krsna. Why you got Me awakened? I lost the chance
- They (the human society) have no fixed place to live. Today in this hotel, the next day, another hotel. The so many restaurants means that people have no fixed place where to eat
- They (the Mayavadis) are thinking that they have become liberated, but actually, avisuddha-buddhayah (SB 10.2.32), their intelligence is not purified. Therefore falsely claiming
- They (the so-called leaders) want to keep in ignorance the mass of people so their foolish leadership may go on continually. That is everywhere
- They (theologicians and philosophers) do not know anything; still, they are teachers. That is the defect of the modern civilization, that one is not qualified man, and he is teacher, he has become a teacher
- They (third-class men) want to be diseased. They want to be criminals. So there must be some department for them. Just like Monte Carlo. So this is a facility for the living entities, for the slight independence which has been given by God to them
- They (those who do not care for God) are subjected to so many tribulations, miserable conditions of life, especially birth, death, old age and disease
- They (three modes of material nature) are directing. Just like in the jail there are different departmental management, similarly, this management is required because you are in the jail. If you don't go to jail, the management may be closed
- They (Vaisnavas) always they are busy in that business, how to deliver. Just like Gosvamis, about the six Gosvamis of Vrndavana, Lord Caitanya's direct disciples, what was their business
- They (very big men who do not understand Krsna) have their value in their own way, but according to our line of thought, they have no value
- They (women) have to go and to become a secretary of a third-class person, and unless he gives job, her life is in precarious condition. So is that emancipation? But it was advertised as emancipation
- They are accepting something temporary as permanent settlement. This is called illusion
- They are after their own sense gratification, and they will put a signboard, "I love everyone." This is their business. And fools are accepting, "Oh, this man is very philanthropic." He does not love any man. He loves only senses. That's all
- They are also afraid. Because the Communist movement means godlessness. And our movement is, "Here is God." There is no blind faith. "Here is God, Krsna! You take His name, you take His address - everything." Practical
- They are always conscious, the mass of people, not the so-called educated men, that "In the sastra it is said that this is sinful." So if he commits some sinful activity, he goes to a very expert brahmana. They are called bhattacarya
- They are authorities who know exactly what is God, or Krsna, and they can direct. Therefore sastra says you have to follow the authorities. Otherwise it is not possible
- They are becoming big lecturer on Bhagavad-gita, he has understood Krsna means "black," that's all. And people are following blindly. Big svamiji is speaking
- They are being baffled every step, and still they are trying to overcome the laws of nature. That is their foolishness. Naradhama. Mayayapahrta-jnana. Maya is so strong upon them that their so-called scientific knowledge is useless
- They are blind men and leading some other blind men. And both of them are expanding the path to hell by bad karma
- They are calling themselves as Christian, but they're not following the example of Lord Jesus Christ. But they should follow, everyone
- They are considered that government servant, and very faithful to the country's service, but as soon as a country or government does not pay, everything is rejected. So Krsna service does not mean like that
- They are constructing big, big skyscraper buildings. That we can see. But you don't see anywhere a magnificent church or temple or mosque is being constructed. That means people are going down in the matter of understanding God
- They are creating millions of rascals, not one sane man, the modern civilization, the so-called philosophers, so-called scientists. Don't mind. This is the fact
- They are declining, "There is no God," "God is dead," "I am God," "You are . . ." Because they have no information, no information of. That is material world. That is the difference between material world and spiritual world
- 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 are falsely thinking that, "I am now liberated. I have become one with God." Falsely thinking. It is just like on some purchasing matter that we have become one with God
- They are fighting like cats & dogs, because cats & dogs have been produced, & they have not been trained up: no brahmacari system, no grhastha system, no vanaprastha system. Therefore, the Vedic conception of civilization is the perfect for human society
- They are following blindly, nonsense, the Radhakrishnan and company. Therefore our Dr. Svarupa Damodara has said: "Krsna, the greatest scientist." We are following the greatest scientist. They are rascals
- They are foolish, all bad men. Manda sumanda-matayah (SB 1.1.10). And if he is supposed to be a good man, he will manufacture some mata, manda-mata, not approved by the sastras. This is going on
- They are foolish; they are trying to conquer over nature by their so-called scientific knowledge. They are such a rascal. You change the color of this fruit and flower, conquer over nature. So rascal
- They are forgetting religion. They take religion as a kind of faith. Faith may be blind faith. Faith is not the real description of religion. Religion means the laws which is given by God, and anyone who follows the laws, he is religious
- They are impersonalists, and falsely thinking themselves as Narayana. Therefore we can immediately test that - Here is a rascal
- They are making so many gorgeous arrangements, big, big skyscraper, big, big roads, and thousands of motorcars. - Maya-sukhaya. - They will enjoy this life for fifty years, sixty years, thirty years, and making big, big arrangements
- They are not afraid of going to hell? There are two alternatives: either heaven or hell
- They are not doing business. They are attached to temple activities. Anyway, these things have to be adjusted
- They are not fiction or imaginary stories, all the Puranas. Itihasa, yes. So Sukadeva Gosvami is giving an instance from the history which is very instructive
- They are not, of course, very big business magnate or politicians; they are common men. But it is appealing to the common people. There is no doubt about it
- They are professing, "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," but they are enemies, one another. So where is their religion? Just see. Common sense. Even the animals, amongst themselves, they do not say - Keep out
- They are reading so many philosophical speculation, horrible condition of the so-called philosopher, scientist. Simply "I believe," - In this believe, that believe
- They are seeing the SPG as Arjuna is seeing, personally, face to face: Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the origin of everything. As it is explained in the Vedanta-sutra, janmady asya yatah
- They are sitting, two birds - that is stated in the Upanisads - sitting on one tree. This body is tree, and Paramatma and jivatma, both of them are sitting on the same tree
- They are snatching a motorcar mechanic as first class. Because he knows some mechanical arrangement how to do it, he is first class. Such things are being done by the demons
- They are so busy, but because they are fool, therefore they are creating problems. This is fact. Even the animals, lower than the human being, they have no problem
- They are so fools that the Americans, they have come here to become Vaisnava and starvation and they have become religious
- They are speculating so many years about this universe, how many stars are there, what is the length and breadth, nobody knows anything even of the material world, and what to speak of the spiritual world. That is far beyond
- They are spending years. They are all European, Americans. They are not Indians. You go to Melbourne. We have got big branch. In Sydney we have got. In Europe. They are doing that. It requires training, proper training. Then it will be done
- They are staying at home, which is the path to hell, and they are absorbed in unlimited desires
- They are thinking by constructing big, big buildings, just like in Bhuvanesvara they are doing, and having good, very big, big roads and motorcars, that is advancement of civilization. No. That is not advancement. That is increasing their anxiety
- They are thinking by material opulence they will be happy. This is their ignorance. Therefore so much struggle all over the world. It is not the question of India or America. It is the material way of life
- They are thinking that "Here this small span of life, say fifty years, sixty years, hundred years utmost, if we get a nice wife, a nice apartment and nice motorcar, running with seventy miles speed, and a nice whiskey bottle. . ." That is his perfection
- They are thinking that by adjusting this material way of life they'll be happy. That's all. This is ignorance. The whole civilization is wrong because they do not know what is the aim of life. That is the fault
- They are thinking that having such nice house, nice motorcar, nice road, nice machine, nice dress, nice woman, they will be happy. This is advancement of civilization
- They are thinking that, "We are doing our duty." What is this nonsense duty? Real duty is to develop Krsna consciousness. If you are missing that point, the so-called duty is simply wasting
- They are thinking they are free: they can do whatever they like. That is called ignorance, mudha, rascal. They are living under condition, but they are falsely thinking that "We are free." Is it not
- They are thinking they are running on four-wheel motorcar, and the dog is running on four legs. What is the quality change? This is going on in the name of civilization, and people are kept in ignorance
- They are thinking very happy, husband, wife, living together, enjoying. But that is grha andha-kupam. Andha-kupam means if you are thrown into the dark well, it is like that
- They are thinking, "By adjustment of this material world, we shall be happy." That is not possible. The maya, the material energy, will not allow you to become perfect unless and until you surrender to Krsna. That is her business
- They are thinking, "We shall live forever in this house." And Krsna says that "I will come as death and take away all your possession." That they cannot understand
- They are trying for the last fifty years. Why the capitalism is not yet gone? Fifty years at least. They started their movement in 1917. Huh? So how many years? More than fifty. Sixty years. What they have done, progress
- They are trying to get out of this old age - so many medicines, so many cosmetics - but old age is taking place. And so far disease, we can discover many high-grade medicines, but there is no stoppage of disease
- They are trying to stop fighting by the so-called League of Nation, or United Nation. They are disunited. On principle, they are disunited
- They are very few, always. You cannot expect that the whole world, whole population of the world, will become Vaisnava. That is not possible
- They are very much attached to this material body and anything in relationship with this body. But the real purpose of human life is to become renounced - no more material body. That is required
- They become devotee of Lord Siva, because by the grace of Lord Siva they get all material facilities. Therefore generally people are very much fond of becoming devotee of Lord Siva
- They believe that "If I act sinfully, then I'll have to suffer next life, & because I did not do properly, therefore I am suffering in this life." Still they believe. But the so-called educated people, they try to set aside this. They say, - Superstition
- They can appreciate that we know better than them. The same example: just like we accept cow dung is pure. Why pure? Because Vedas says. Their scientific way is not like that. Is not that
- They cannot estimate the smallest, and they cannot estimate the greatest. They cannot make any measurement of the outer space, nor they can make any measurement of the minute particles of spirit soul
- They cannot even understand what is the soul. A minute particle of spirit, it is . . . but they do not understand, big, big scientist, big, big philosopher. But the entire subject matter of Krsna consciousness is not of this material world
- They cannot explain why there are so many varieties of life. The varieties of life is there because we have desire, kama. "I want this," "All right, take this." Krsna is immediately prepared
- They cannot understand, these so-called scientists, that we cannot go in this way. There is higher authority. Why it will allow us to go anywhere? Just like the horse running fast, but within the racecourse. That's all. It cannot go beyond the racecourse
- They come to see, visit the temple, offer their worshipful offerings, flowers, fruits, everything. Same thing
- They could not capture the spiritual varieties. Anadrta. As soon as there is spiritual varieties, they think it is maya. That is Mayavada
- They created a caste of gosvamins, just like they created a caste of brahmins. So this gosvami will come by hereditary birth, just like brahmin. So Bhaktivinoda Thakura was very sorry to see the condition of the society
- They declared some unfit person to become acarya. Then another man came, then another acarya, another acarya. So better remain a foolish person perpetually to be directed by Guru Maharaja. That is perfection
- They did not come. They're not willing to become devotee. They want to be God - by intoxication. You see? This nonsense theory is killing so many persons
- They did not know what is truth, not afraid. Why? If one is on the platform of truth, why he should be afraid? They did not know what is truth - beginning from Vivekananda
- They do not accept that, they are foolish rascals. And they are trying to advance in knowledge, active foolish, fourth class men. Their background is wrong
- They do not believe, avoid the major issue, and they are planning in this life they will live for fifty or sixty years, making big, big plans, saktah, being materially attached, saktah karmani, and discovering new, new methods of engagement
- They do not inquire even wherefrom these living entities are coming, the trees, birds, beasts, lower than human being; wherefrom they are coming they do not inquire
- They do not know anything. They do not know even that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But they do not like to love anybody than Krsna. This is their only qualification
- They do not know even that there is birth after death. Such a foolish civilization. Although we are experiencing every moment birth and death . . . Birth and death every moment, it is going on so finely. It is Krsna's arrangement
- They do not know that beyond the sky there is spiritual sky, there is another nature. They have no information. Even they do not know what are there in higher planetary systems
- They do not know that there is life after death and there is eternal life, there is eternal happiness. They do not know. Karanam guna sango 'sya
- They do not know that there is life after death. Otherwise, why there are so many varieties of life? They concoct their own conclusion
- They do not know that they are spoiling their life. They are thinking that, "I've got very nice apartment, very nice car, very nice wife, very nice income, very nice social position." So many things. These are the material attraction
- They do not know the real duty is to approach Visnu, svartha-gatim, interest. They are thinking, "This is my interest." But real duty is svartha-gatim
- They do not know the real problem is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi. Therefore, following the real religious principle means sad-dharma
- They do not know what is God, they do not know, what is the meaning of love. Simply rubber-stamp: "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim." They are interested only in sense gratification. There cannot be any religion
- They do not know what is the aim of life. Na te viduh svartha-gatim hi visnum (SB 7.5.31). They do not know. They are foolish. Andha yathandhair. Their foolish leaders also misleading them
- They do not know what is the truth, and still, they write books, they write commentaries unauthorizedly and mislead public. This is going on
- They do not know what is truth or what is truthfulness. Or, in other words, everyone is liar. I have seen many big, big gentlemen that for nothing they will speak lies
- They do not study all this science, why there are so many varieties of life, of different grades, wherefrom they are coming
- They do not want to worship anyone. They want to worship their senses, that's all. Sense gratification. What is dictated by the senses, they agree, that's all. Servant of the senses
- They don't care to know what is God, what is our relationship with God, how to act in that relationship. The Vedic instruction, the whole Vedic instruction is for this purpose
- They don't suffer from cancer. So they are in better position than the so-called human society
- They explain, "Nature." But they cannot explain what is nature. We can explain. Nature is a system which is being handled by Krsna. That is real understanding
- They get married only for sex pleasure, not for any other purpose. Dampatye ratim eva hi. Otherwise the purpose is husband and wife together, they will worship Laksmi-Narayana and become perfect
- They get their food and shelter and everything, even they live with the wife, children. So Krsna gives. Not only that, that we are simply sannyasi, brahmacari
- They give example, "Others are eating vegetable. That is also killing." Yes, that is also killing. But I have already explained, that because one living entity is foodstuff for another living entity, that does not mean you shall eat your family members
- They give some false argument, "Lord Christ says, 'Thou shall not kill' and if I kill, Christ has taken the contract that whatever sinful activities we do, he will excuse." This is Christian dogma
- They give this example that "You also kill vegetable, just this grass blade is broken. It is killed. So it is equal to maintaining a big slaughterhouse." You see? This is going on, under the name of re . . . they are Christian nuns
- They give up the reaction of work, being situated in the platform of consciousness. And the result will be that janma-bandha-vinirmuktah, this bondage of birth and death and disease and old age, he becomes free from that
- They go to hotel from miles together to take some palatable foodstuff - restaurant, hotel. And we cannot give nice krsna-prasadam? Why? Why you cannot give
- They had the opportunity to take advantage of the contribution of great sages, rsis, to study and to become a successful human being, but you are, by force, dragging them from that attitude to this materialistic way of life. This is violence
- They have admitted, some of their party, "If this movement is allowed to advance, then some day they will take our government." They have expressed that feeling. And now they are preparing to fight out
- They have become (dog). But when he becomes street dog? That means he has to depend on good master. Big apartment for dog means he belongs to the master. So he has to find out a good master
- They have become so foolish. They are thinking that this duration of life, say fifty or sixty years, that's all
- They have got so much transcendental spiritual pleasure, this sex pleasure - they are astonished: is that pleasure? Phu! (makes spitting sound) That stage is possible. Still there are so many brahmacaris. So everything depends on practice
- They have got their other worshipable. There is Jesus Christ, and others. Mostly they are coming from Christian family. Why they should agree to worship Krsna? No, it is there already
- They have invented nuclear weapon. What is that? To kill. But have you invented something so that no more men will die? That is credit
- They have made the whole aim of life sense gratification. - Indriyartha. And for that purpose, a few years, they're making huge arrangement, "How we shall become happy?" And next life a dog. It is risky
- They have manufactured this ugra-karma world for the annihilation of this world. Russia has discovered the nuclear . . . What is that? Nuclear weapon?
- They have no brain. And still, they're passing on as great philosopher, great scientist, and getting Nobel Prize. But they are illusioned
- They have no idea of spiritual life; therefore they misunderstand. But if we read thoroughly Bhagavad-gita, then everything is clear
- They have no knowledge, and they are misleading. The basic principle of knowledge . . . they have no idea of spiritual basic principle. They take material basic principle. Therefore the beginning of their knowledge is wrong
- They have not acquired the qualification of Vaisnava. Simply vesopidin, by dress. So what is there? They could not do for the last fifty, sixty years. Still . . . they wanted to exchange. I stopped it, the Mohini Babu
- They have to judge that - What is the difference between animal's activities and our so-called civilized man's activities
- They lost their kingdom, they lost their wife - insulted. The wife was endeavored to become naked. Never, the Pandavas never said that "Krsna, You are our friend. Why we are suffering so many troubles?" Never. Never. This is pure devotee
- They make one plan. It is frustrated. Again make another plan. That is frustrated. Again make another plan. But they will never agree to accept that these plans are all useless. That is rascaldom
- They make, what is called, spiritual division also. That is their foolishness. Spiritually there is no division. Samah sarvesu bhutesu mad-bhaktim labhate param - BG 18.54
- They may criticize that, "The bhaktas, the Vaisnavas, they have got slave mentality." Some so-called philosopher remark like that. But that is not slave mentality. That is the actual position
- They put argument that "You are vegetarian, and you are also killing vegetable life." Of course, we are killing. But we are not killing vegetables. First of all, vegetables are not killed. If I take a fruit from the tree, the tree is not killed
- They questioned, "What is your opinion of Lord Jesus Christ?" and I said: "He preached God consciousness. He's our guru. Anyone who preaches the message of God, he is guru." So they very much appreciated
- They rise up to the brahmanah padavi, and again fall down. Because they have no shelter. So all these siddhis are simply temporary. It has no meaning. It has no value
- They say "street dog." He has no food. He has no shelter. He is lean and thin and do not know where to go. In this way. So the constitutional position of the dog is that it must have a good master. Then he is happy
- They say, "Faith begins from the tongue." "No," it is surprising. How is that? But it is a fact
- They should know perfectly well that - We are after false enjoyment. We have to come to the platform of real enjoyment
- They simply want to instruct by his experience. But what is your experience? They're all imperfect. But they are persisting, "No, we cannot accept any knowledge without experiment." Is it not the position
- They simply working hard, making plan to be happy. That is not possible. Therefore it is forbidden. Na yojayet karmasu karma-mudhan
- They take it, advantage, - Oh, we shall get all books, we shall live forever. There is no charge, pay
- They think that "If Krsna has spread Himself in everything, then He has lost Himself. So He has no more form," their material calculation. This is called material calculation
- They think that after working very, very hard, twenty-four hours, and driving the motorcars in three hundred miles speed, this is civilization
- They think that moon is the nearest planet, but we do not think like that. But still they are unable to give sufficient knowledge about the moon
- They think that one can improve. That is not possible. Unless he changes the quality, he cannot improve. That is not possible. They do not know it
- They think they are very intelligent, overintelligent. They do not take advice of Krsna even. They are so intelligent that Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya, bhaktya mam abhijanati, and still they will stick to their jnana, yoga, karma
- They think, "Oh, oh, Krsna is teaching Yudhisthira, such a nice man, religious person, and He's teaching him to speak lie." If sometimes one thinks like that, he becomes mudha
- They too do not accept knowledge from the authority. They manufacture. How you can manufacture? You are a fool, so whatever you'll manufacture, so-called knowledge, that is also foolish
- They used to live for ten millions of years, and it is very difficult to live for fifty years or sixty years at the present moment. Utmost, a man lives up to eighty years. That's all
- They want to make permanent settlement here but forget that "Any moment, I shall be kicked out of this situation. I shall have to accept another situation." That is the lack of education in the modern civilization
- 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
- They were blindly following sense gratification. Now it has come to the stage, "What to do?" "What to do?" This is athato brahma jijnasa: "Now enquire about Brahman." This is the statement
- They were not intelligent to understand how the creation took place. Had they been intelligent, they would not have crucified such a great personality like Jesus Christ
- They were so liberal. He (Duryodhana) said, "Yes, come in. If you want the kingdom without fighting, I am prepared." But a Ksatriya will never beg, "Give me, sir, without . . ." No. If they can own by fighting then they will claim. This is Ksatriya spirit
- They will manufacture objects of worship, but not worship God. They will present so many false God, but they will not worship the real God
- They will say: "We believe in this way," "We believe in that way." So what is that, you believe in that way? What is the fact? If you believe something wrong, is that to be taken as religion?
- They would have to go to beg door to door, brahmacari: "Mother, give us some alms for our asrama." So they were trained from the very beginning to address any woman as - Mother
- They'll not accept knowledge given by God, they'll manufacture knowledge. That is material disease. And that knowledge is also uncertain
- They're (forgetful living beings) put into various conditions of material existence in order to learn that they are not the enjoyers and controllers
- They're servant of maya, this tamo-guna, rajo-guna, and they are manufacturing their own way of enjoyment
- They're simply fighting like cats and dogs. This is not perfect society. They can simply make barking, "Rowf! Rowf! Rowf! Rowf!" That is not perfect society. Human society should be sober. That is Vedic civilization
- They're so unfortunate that although they have got their wife, they go to another girl, and although the girl has one husband, she goes to another man. These things should be stopped if you'll want to be serious
- They're thinking that, "We are very happy without this nonsense God consciousness, Krsna consciousness." They are the most condemned
- Thieves, rogues, cheater - not ordinary persons, honest persons; they are not taken there (to Yamaraja). Similarly, only a few number of the whole human society. Now in the Kali-yuga it is increasing
- This "harijana" word has come from Gandhi. He did not try to make him real harijana. He simply rubberstamped him. So what is the value of this harijana
- This (Bhagavad-gita) essence of Vedic knowledge is there. It is very simple. Anyone can understand. There is no difficulty
- This (chanting once) material calculation is not made by a devotee. When one is devotee, he'll chant more and more. He'll aspire, "If I could get millions of tongues and trillions of ear, then I could finish." That is devotee
- This (character of sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa) must be systematically organized. That is called dharma. Because the real purpose is, dharmasya hy apavargyasya: just to nullify this miserable condition of material life
- This (chemical evolution) will fail. It is already failed. But because they are fools and rascals, they are still hoping against hope. That's it
- This (developing KC by the instructions of spiritual master) is called devotional service, or bhakti-lata. Bhakti-lata-bija. Just like one small creeper, first of all to sow the seed and water it, then gradually it spouts and gradually grows
- This (dharma, artha, kama, moksa) is material principles. We have to surpass this material principle, then come to the spiritual platform. That is sarva-dharman parityajya
- This (dirt) is due to our material contamination. Therefore we have to revive it. That sharpness, we have to revive. That is Krsna consciousness movement
- This (earn money at any cost for risk of enjoyment) is not new thing, but at the present moment, in this age, this mentality has increased very improportionately
- This (getting a cat's body, dog's body, tree's body) is going on perpetually. Not perpetually - at least for many, many millions of years. But because we are fool, especially in this age of Kali, we do not understand it
- This (going to guru) is the process. But the demons, they do not know this is the process. They speculate; they manufacture. Simply by jugglery of words they manufacture their truth
- This (Hare Krsna) is transcendental sound vibration, and this will help us to cleanse the dust on the mirror of our mind. On the mind we have accumulated material dust
- This (if Arjuna does not kill that will make him happy) is material calculation, because he was giving more importance to the material body, what is his brother, what is his grandfather or teacher. He was seeing the material
- This (KC movement) is the topmost welfare activities to the human society, because it is very difficult to understand Krsna, and we, under certain process, we are delivering Krsna, and it is being effective. The process is so nice
- This (moon) is the nearest planet, and there are so many other planets also. So you cannot go by your whims or by your will. This is called bondage
- This (politician) sort of leader cannot be compared with a sadhu, because a sadhu is leader for all living entities. They are thinking of the ant also, how it will be helped. Not only human society or own society, family members
- This (spreading of Krsna Consciousness movement) is marvelous. You give the real thing, and it will act. If you give false things, nasta, so superficially it is (Sanskrit), but if it is spoiled, it will create disease
- This (the blood corpuscles are changing, and the body is different) is the preliminary knowledge of advancing in spiritual knowledge. You do not know what is spirit - and what is the spiritual knowledge?
- This (to become advanced in devotional service) is not a very difficult task. It is very easy. If it is not easy, how the Europeans, Americans are now taking seriously
- This (verse SB 6.3.20) was explained by Yamaraja to his followers, that there are twelve authorities. So if one has to know the secret of spiritual realization, then one has to follow either of these twelve authorities.
- This acintya-bhedabheda philosophy adjusts that, "God and the living creatures, they are simultaneously one and different." They are one in quality, just like the energy and the energetic, the sun globe and the sunshine
- This advancement of material civilization means entrapping the entrapped. The living entity is already entrapped, and he is allured by further entrapment
- This age is called Kali. Kali means the age of quarrel. On minor things we are prepared to fight with one another. That is the system of this age
- This age is very, very fallen. People have completely forgotten God. Not completely, because few men are still interested; otherwise why they are joining this Krsna consciousness movement?
- This American nation, if their young men are becoming so irresponsible, careless, then what is the future?
- This andha-kupam, dark well of ignorance, one must give up. - Then vanam gato yad dharim asrayeta (SB 7.5.5): "He must go to vana." When one goes to vana, it is called vanaprastha
- This avidya, or maya, is covering us in different stages, in different features. Either you are covered by the quality of goodness or you are covered by the quality of passion or you are covered by the quality of ignorance
- This Bhagavad-gita is also called yoga. Karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, bhakti-yoga. You'll find in Bhagavad-gita different yogas. So the whole book is called yoga

- This bhagavata-dharma means that how to get out of these four defects of material life, or four miserable condition of material life - birth, death, old age and disease - and get eternal, blissful life of knowledge
- This Bhagavatam was written five thousand years ago, and this story . . . Sukadeva Gosvami said: "I am speaking an old story." That means this incident of Ajamila was not less than fifty thousand years ago
- This bodily enjoyment is false. Real enjoyment - of the spirit. Therefore it is said, ramante yoginah anante. They want to enjoy life with Ananta, Krsna. They want to become friend of Krsna. They want to become lover of Krsna
- This body has appeared in that (preparing a doll) way, by combination. If the doll is broken, then, in due course of time, it mixes again: "Dust thou art, dust thou beist." Again mixes with the water, earth, air
- This body has been described as outward dress, different dress. Just like we are, somebody white, somebody yellow, somebody black. But actually, we spirit soul, we are one
- This body is a bag of mucus, bile and air. In old age the air circulation becomes disturbed - therefore old man becomes rheumatic, so many bodily ailments
- This body is temporary, but our tendency is to live forever. The scientists are trying how to keep this body fit
- This body, when it will be no more existing, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20), the body may be destroyed, but the soul will continue to exist. This is the Vedic principle of knowledge
- This brahmana attracted the attention of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He was illiterate, and he could not read even one word. What is the truth in it? The same thing: guru-mukha-padma-vakya, cittete koriya aikya. He took guru's order very seriously
- This brahmanda is the creation of Brahma. He is called one of the demigods. So Krsna says, aham adir hi devanam, "I am the beginning of the devatas, demigods." So if you study Krsna in this way, then you become daiva, divine
- This breathing is given there, that "You must breathe so many million times. Bas, finished." Just like you wind the watch. It will run or go round so many times. As soon as the finish, then stop
- This business on the public way, kissing, embracing, this is meant for the sudras. Therefore it is said, kalau sudra-sambhavah: "In the Kali-yuga the population is all sudra." There is no brahminical culture
- This Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mercy, krsna-prema distribution, is the best, topmost para-upakara, welfare activity. Therefore every Indian should take up this job
- This catur-varnyam maya srstam (BG 4.13), brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra . . . it doesn't matter one is sudra or one is brahmana, but everyone has got the facility to become connected in relationship with the Supreme Lord
- This chanting of Hare Krsna is transcendental vibration, sound. Sound is the origin of all creation. So this transcendental sound, if you vibrate, you will understand very quickly this philosophy of Krsna consciousness
- This chapter, Lord Krsna will try to teach the principles of yoga system. So here He begins, that a transcendentalist should always try to concentrate his mind on the Supreme Self
- This child (Pariksit Maharaja) was also hit by atomic energy, brahmastra, but Krsna saved him. Krsna wanted that - The descendant of My devotees, they must prolong
- This child is now just like ordinary animal. But this body, when he will change, he will express in a different way. Similarly, if you get the cat's body, you will express in a different way. If you get a dog's body, you will express in a different way
- This claim that, "I am God," that means he has no idea what is God. Therefore he is falsely claiming
- This claim that, "This land, America, belongs to us, United States," this is false claim. It does not belong to you, nobody else
- This creation takes place exactly like your body, my body. The creation of this body takes place at a certain date. That is the beginning of history

- This draft board, they are demanding that, "You must join. If you don't join, there will be force, and you will be forcibly joined after that." So here, in the Krsna's order, because He is Krsna, the Supreme Lord, there is no force. That voluntary
- This easy process, sukham jihvadau, that begins from the jihva, tongue. If you kindly train your tongue to chant Hare Krsna mantra, and if possible without offense. If we avoid the offenses and you chant Hare Krsna mantra, you become liberated
- This family attachment, and just the opposite thing is vairagya-vidya, how to become detached. This is the whole process of Vedic civilization
- This family life, grhesu, grha-medhinam, who are very much attached, this is maya. Prahlada Maharaja, from the age of five years he condemned, hitvatma-patam grham andha-kupam (SB 7.5.5): - The grha, this so-called family life, is a dark well
- This fight is another good news, that they are feeling the strength. Otherwise they would not have prepared to fight

- This form, these two hands, with flute, Krsna, form of Krsna, there is nothing beyond this. So one has to come to this point
- This freedom is not very good. This freedom means that as soon as you become so free that to have sex life on the street like cats and dogs and hogs, you will get your next life
- This Gandhari, she has been described as tapasvini. She wanted to be a faithful, chaste wife
- This grass-eating is very palatable to him than to take protection from being killed. So this is called ignorance, ignorance, sleeping state

- This Hare Krsna, this chanting, if you ask these boys and girls, they can chant continually for twenty-four hours in ecstasy, continually, without any stoppage. That is spiritual name
- This has to be purified: not to become the servant of the senses, but to become servant of the master of the senses. Then you also become master of the senses. That purificatory process is called devotional service, bhakti
- This Hiranyakasipu father tortured Prahlada Maharaja in so many ways, but he tolerated. There are many other examples. Lord Jesus Christ, he was crucified. The only fault was that he was preaching God consciousness

- This human civilization, human being, human form of life, was given by God or the nature for cultivating Krsna consciousness, spiritual. That is not possible in the lower form of life, animals, the cats and dogs
- This human form body should be utilized fully for understanding our real position, our relationship with God, and our transaction, our dealings, and the basis of our relationship with God, and what is the real goal of life
- This human form of body is achieved bahu-sambhavante, after achieving many, many other lower forms of life
- This human form of body, is a great opportunity, because God realization begins by engaging the tongue
- This human form of life is given to us as an opportunity to understand our position because in the human form of life we have more developed consciousness than the lower forms of life like the aquatics, insects, plants, birds, beasts
- This human form of life is meant for understanding what is Absolute Truth. Athato brahma jijnasa. The cats and dogs cannot inquire about what is Brahman. That is not possible

- This human form of life is obtained after many, many millions and millions of births, evolutionary process. We have already discussed this point
- This human life begins when he begins to say - Why we are suffering

- Vairagyam means knowledge by which one becomes detached from this material allurement. That is called vairagya
- Vaisnava - para-duhkha-duhkhi. They're very much afflicted with others', miserable life. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he presented himself as very much afflicted with others' miserable condition of life
- Vaisnava acarya said - Spirit is the basic principle. Matter is false. But that spirit is not void. There is spiritual construction. As in the material world there is material construction, in the spiritual world there is spiritual construction
- Vaisnava is meant for delivering all the fallen souls. Just like a very good example: Lord Jesus Christ. According to the Christian idea, he took all the sins of all people and he sacrificed his life
- Vaisnava is meant for delivering all the fallen souls. Just like a very good example: Lord Jesus Christ. According to the Christian idea, he took all the sins of all people and he sacrificed his life. Very good example

- Varna means four social division: Brahmin, Ksatriya, Vaisya, Sudra; and asrama means four spiritual division: brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha . . . so accepting these four spiritual and four material principles of life, that is humanity
- Varna means this social order, and asrama means spiritual division. Therefore those who are following strictly the Vedic principle, that family life is called grhastha asrama. Asrama. Whenever you add this word asrama there is spiritual significance
- Varna, this classification of social order, brahmin, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra, and less than that, that is accepted by the symptoms, laksana, characteristics, not by birth
- Varna-sankarah means unwanted population. Actually all over the world this is happening, and therefore, the problems of the world becoming very serious and grave
- Vasudeva means Krsna, that "Simply I shall worship Krsna," kevalaya, "nothing else." This firm conviction and steadiness will save you, without any doubt, this conviction, vasudeva-parayanah
- Veda does not mean it is written by some ordinary man, as we write some books. No. It is not like that. Apauruseya. Coming directly
- Veda is known as sabda-brahman. In the material world all these books are material sound vibration, but Vedic knowledge is transcendental sound vibration
- Veda mantra. Sa jnata na vrtti. Vedanta-sutra-sabdat. Simply by transcendental vibration of sound, everything can be achieved
- Veda means knowledge, and anta means the last. That Krsna explains, Vedanta explains. Bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate (BG 7.19). This is Vedanta
- Veda means you have to approach acarya. He knows everything - unless he is not followers of the Vedas, sruti, he's a rascal. What is the use of going there
- Veda says that aham brahmasmi: "I am brahma. I am not this body. I am spirit soul." And when one understands that he is spirit soul, at once he becomes joyful. That is the sign of brahma-jnana
- Veda says that the stool of cow is pure. Now, you will say, - Oh, this is contradictory. Sometimes it is said pure, and sometimes . . . this cow is also animal

- Vedanta-sutra explains this brahma-jijnasa. Athato brahma jijnasa. Athato - Now it is the time for you to enquire about your Brahman realization, of your Brahman life
- Vedanta-sutra explains when the question is what is the original cause of everything . . . What is Brahman? What is the Absolute Truth? Athato brahma jijnasa - Now this human form of life is meant for inquiring about the Absolute Truth
- Vedanta-sutra is very clearly explained by Srimad-Bhagavatam. So this Vedic literature is giving us the help and the clue how we can get out of this miserable condition of life
- Vedas says cow dung is pure. That is neglected. Dog stool is pure. This is their intelligence. They give signboard - Littering illegal
- Vedas says that, "You must accept a bona fide guru and become disciplined under his instruction." Then you'll know the higher system of knowledge, the necessity of life, and thus you become happy
- Vedic authorities, authoritative statement, are accepted by the acaryas. Just like India is governed by the acaryas, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya and Sankaracarya. They accept in that, and the followers accept them
- Vedic civilization is very strict. Because the whole aim was how to go back to home, back to Godhead, not sense gratification - eat, drink, be merry, enjoy. That is not the aim of human life
- Vedic culture was lost, or put into difficulty, simply for this reason, when the Vedic followers in India, they made these classification of brahmin, ksatriya, as hereditary
- Vedic injunction is like that, that "You do sacrifice for the Supreme, then you will never be unhappy. You will never be in want." Now, mind that, that the work is not stopped
- Vedic knowledge means that you have desire for material enjoyment, so therefore you are given the chance here for material enjoyment
- Vedic knowledge says sometimes contradictory. Just like cow dung, stool of an animal, is pure. And if you analyze, you will find it is pure. So our process of acquiring knowledge is from the Vedas
- Vedic literature is so authoritative. It has been accepted by the acaryas
- Vedic literature means four Vedas: Sama, Atharva, Yajur and Rk. And from the Vedas, there are Upanisads. There are 108 Upanisads. And there are Puranas. Puranas means those who will not understand the Vedic aphorism
- Vedic scripture, advises you manusyam artha-dam apiha dhirah. But if you are dhira - dhira means sober, intelligent - then how you shall utilize it? You should try to utilize your this human form of life to achieve the highest substance very soon
- Vedic sounds, they are sabda-brahma. They are not material sound. So nama cintamanih, spiritual. Krsna and Krsna's name, there is no difference. Nama cintamanih krsnas caitanya-rasa-vigrahah
- Vegetable fat? It is fatty. These fruits are meant for offering to Krsna. Krsna says, patram puspam phalam. Flowers, leaves, fruits He wants. So these are Krsna's food
- Vegetable has also life, but we are not killing. When you pluck out the flower, the tree is not killed. When you take a fruit, the tree is not killed. When you take grains, automatically they die, then you take the grains. There is no question of killing
- Very carefully read Bhagavatam. Don't continue to remain rascal. Then life is successful
- Very good facility for driving motorcar, and they have got enough motorcar also. Every third man has got a car. But what are these civilization? Kama and lobha, lustiness and greediness. That's all
- Very honorable gentlemen, Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami, learned scholars, rich men, ministers, in every respect their social position so high. But they accepted this mendicant
- Very simple answer is: when the mother certifies, "He is your father," that's all. You don't have to make research. That is futile. By research, you cannot understand who is your real father
- Vicara means you just try to understand the gift of Lord Caitanya by logic, vicara. Don't follow blindly
- Vidhi means law and order, and one who executes the law and order, they are called vidhi-kara. So all the demigods, they are appointed by the Supreme Lord to execute the law and order
- Vidura was also very much obliged to his eldest brother, and he was always giving him good advice, and a great devotee
- Vidya-kule ki koribe tar. Somebody may says, - Oh, why he is going to hell? He is so much educated, he has got academic qualification, he has got degrees
- Vimukta-maninah means he is simply falsely thinking that he is liberated. Maninah. Just like you think yourself, just like so many rascals, he is thinking, "I am God." You see? - I am God
- Vimukta-maninah means they (impersonalists) are simply falsely thinking that they have surpassed the clutches of maya. Falsely
- Vimukta-maninah, falsely thinking that, "I have now become liberated." Avisuddha-buddhayah. But the intelligence is not very clear. This is last snare of maya. When one thinks that, "I am God. I have become God," that is the last snare of maya
- Visnuduta says that, - We know that this person was addicted to sinful activities throughout his whole life, but at the time of his death he has remembered. He has uttered offenselessly once the name of Narayana
- Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura says you have to follow the direction of the spiritual master. He's guiding as a leader. And if he's pleased, that means Krsna is pleased. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah
- Vivekananda came here to preach in 1893 to Vedanta. Now he learned the business of opening hospital
- Voluntarily we should try to accept the knowledge and instruction given by Krsna. Then our life will be perfect
- Vyasadeva is incarnation of Krsna, so he has given us the Vedic literature. Therefore his name is Vedavyasa, incarnation of God. Maha-muni-krte kim va paraih (SB 1.1.2). There is no need of speculating. Just follow Vyasadeva in the disciplic succession
- Vyasadeva is the original acarya; therefore the birthday of guru is called vyasa-puja. Vyasa-puja means original guru. Guru is the representative of Vyasadeva
- Vyasadeva made Vedanta-sutra, the ultimate knowledge, and he made his comment also, natural commentary. That is Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Vyasadeva, after compiling this book, he educated his son, Sukadeva Gosvami, about this Srimad-Bhagavatam, and he first spoke in the assembly at the time of death of Maharaja Pariksit, seven days before his death
- Vyasadeva, after writing so many books, he could not find peace of mind. So he was sitting, morose, & his spiritual master, Narada, came there, asked him, - My dear Vyasa, you have done so much in writing for the welfare of society. Why you are not happy?
- Vyasadeva, disciple of Narada Muni, compiled so many Vedic literatures, Mahabharata, Puranas, Vedanta-sutra, Upanisads, various types of... Not types. Practically the same Vedas, divided into departmental knowledge for understanding of the common people
- Vyasadeva, in clear consciousness, in Krsna consciousness, he saw Krsna and this maya. And what is this maya? That is said, yaya sammohito jiva: that maya which has enchanted all these conditioned souls
W
- War, if it is fought on principle, on religious principle, that is called dharma-yuddhi. That is not prohibited. But this killing process, unnecessarily, innocent men, that is not dharma-yuddhi. That is irregular fighting
- We (Krsna and Arjuna) have got very intimate relationship. Not only we are friends, but we have got family relationship. So therefore I am speaking you about the truth, that there are two classes of living beings. - divine nature & demonic
- We (part and parcel of krsna) are not working according to our particular duty. Just like this finger is part and parcel of my body. It has got a particular duty: to serve the whole body. When it is unable to do it - it is painful
- We (senses hands legs) are working day and night, and this rascal (belly) is eating simply. So we shall noncooperate. We shall not work. - That's all right. Resolution was passed. So they stopped working, next meeting they saw that, - We are becoming weak
- We accept knowledge from such person who knows past, present and future. Persons who do not know even present what is going on, how we can accept knowledge from him? This is not our process
- We accept yad vadasi kesava, following the footsteps of Arjuna, who directly understood Bhagavad-gita
- We also require to open hospital. And what is that hospital? To cure this material disease, not this temporary disease. Again we may be attacked
- We also sleep at night closing the door, because we are afraid of burglars and others, so many dangers. So that is also required, to take protection from enemies
- We appeal to you: try to understand this movement. Enjoy with full heart, and do some welfare activity to the human society
- We are acting in a certain way to become master, creating a situation, mentality, and at the time of death, when this body finishes, the mind absorbed in that mastership idea takes me to another body according to my ambition
- We are active on the platform of this bodily consciousness. That is also required for some time; not for all the time. The aim is to work for the soul
- We are actually suffering, sometimes as human being, sometimes as animal, sometimes as trees, sometimes as dog. So the mastership cannot be attained. That is not possible
- We are advising people to become Krsna conscious, and that way, he will be able to leave this place of miseries and enter the eternal life in the spiritual world. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti - BG 4.9
- We are after happiness, every one of us. But we are seeking happiness in the perverted reflection. That is not possible. Therefore one has to give up this perverted happiness and come to the real fact
- We are against all so-called cheating religion. The Hinduism is also a cheating religion. We are preaching Bhagavata, and Bhagavata beginning that "We have kicked out all cheating religion." What is cheating religion? That one has to understand
- We are all eternal. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire. We are not lost or dead on account of our annihilation of this body. That is not possible
- We are all rascals, blindly following? Do you think like that? Then why I have not seen? Why do you ask this? If we are acting for Krsna, do you mean to say that we are following blindly? Do you think like that
- We are all the servant of maya, prakrti, because we have given up the service of the Lord
- We are already smaller than the smallest, because our real dimension, spiritual dimension, is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. This is our dimension
- We are also old. In the Bhagavad-gita you find this verse, nityah sasvato 'yam purano na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). Do you remember, any one of you, this verse from the Bhagavad-gita? But you don't read
- We are being educated, we go to school, to college, to become responsible man. So this responsibility should be, "How to stop this repetition of birth." In many places this is advised. And that is the only aim of human life
- We are being troubled by the three modes of material nature, but if we stick to our devotional service . . . it is not very difficult to follow the four regulative principles
- We are Brahman, but because we are not Para-brahman, or Supreme Brahman, we are subjected, we are prone to be covered by these material qualities. Therefore our business is again to recover ourself from these twenty-five elements, material elements
- We are Brahman, undoubtedly, but we are not the biggest. Therefore we are prone to be under the control of maya. But Supreme Brahman, He's never under
- We are bringing these European, Americans, Africans, Canadians, Australians to this platform of understanding that, - We are human being; we are not animals
- We are busy with the demonic characteristic, dambhah, vimana, darpah, like that. So you can change it. There is no hopelessness. Simply you have to be praticed, that today you are not a singer. But you can become an expert singer if you practice singing
- We are changing of the different body, but it is taking place so quickly and so, imperceptibly by Krsna's energy. The machine is so nice that we are thinking that it is growing
- We are changing our forms of life many, many million times, but the time is there. So the calculation of past, present, future is relative according to the duration of my life
- We are claiming college students, university students, because we are presenting religion on the basis of philosophy and logic. We are not blindly following. We have not dogmatism. We have got reason, philosophy, and everything, science
- We are compelled to take birth. Krsna does not take birth in such condition. Atma-mayaya. Because maya is under the control of Krsna. So how maya can control Krsna? One who thinks that Krsna is also like us, controlled by maya, they are called mudhas
- We are controlled by maya, but Krsna is the controller of maya. That is the difference. We are not controller; we are controlled
- We are daily, every moment, seeing (Krsna). Every moment. Otherwise, do you mean to say we are blindly following something
- We are defending so many ways, but still, war is there. Your country is defending so nicely, but now the petrol is taken away. You cannot defend
- We are describing all inauspicity, even without the comet. Where do you find the auspicity?
- We are different from this body. We have several times discussed this point. So in Sanskrit word there are two implications in the understanding of our existence. One is deha. Deha means this body. And dehi means the proprietor of the body
- We are discussing symptom of the person who is situated on the platform of pure consciousness. So we should remember that this is spoken as the basis of when we attain the stage of perfection, the symptom
- We are discussing this point, that this illusion is going on. But human form of life, a human being can get out of this illusion
- We are doing. As far as possible, we have got center. The people are so overintelligent, don't take it. - Ah, what Hare Krsna? We have heard it. Ah, we have seen Bhagavad-gita
- We are eternal servant of Krsna, and we should give, render, we should render service to the best of capacity. That is our real, constitutional position
- We are eternally connected with the Supreme Lord. Somehow or other, we are now in material contamination. The process is that we have to go back again. So that linking process is called yoga
- We are expanding our feelings of love, different types of love - love of the country, love of the nation, love of the society, love of the community, love of the family, or love of the cats and dogs and so on
- We are explaining that paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam, sambhavami yuge yuge (BG 4.8). So Lord appears in this age also. And according to sastra, authentic scripture, He has appeared as Lord Caitanya
- We are falsely claiming proprietorship; we are encroaching upon others' independence. This is our business. How there can be peace? It is not possible
- We are falsely claiming that, "It is our." This is maya. Maya means what is not fact
- We are falsely claiming, "I am the proprietor." So how you can be in peace?
- We are falsely encroaching upon and falsely claiming proprietorship. Therefore there is no peace
- We are fighting. "I am Indian. You are Englishman. You are this. You are that." Simply we are fighting, like cats and dogs, they fight. So that is ajnana
- We are following strictly the principles of Vedas, the principles laid down by great authorities, and if we accept them, then we'll get the required perfection of life. And they are not very difficult
- We are getting knowledge through the senses. How to get this knowledge of the living force? That, a mechanical arrangement, that is called yoga system
- We are giving the right path: "Be happy in this life and next life also." This is our mission. Para upakara: they are blindly following some ways of life
- We are giving them all important Vedic literature, translated into English and other. This is the greatest boon to make human life successful. But if the people want to remain in darkness, then what can we do
- We are giving this Bhagavata translation all over the world. You will be surprised that we are selling more than thirty, forty lakhs of rupees per month. This movement is helping the whole human civilization
- We are going on under the wrong impression that "I am this body." This is the most fallen condition of the present human society
- We are going to open this temple. Those who are in charge, they must take care of the temple, cleanliness. Tan-mandira-marjanadau
- We are hankering after perpetual happiness, continued happiness. So Rsabhadeva advised, "My dear boys, you take to austerity." Tapo divyam yena suddhyet sattvam. - After you are purified, then brahma-saukhyam anantam, then you get unlimited happiness
- We are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, this, that. They are all third-class, cheating religion. What is real religion? That is religion which teaches how to love God. That is religion. Yato bhaktir adhoksaje. That is first-class religion
- We are in this material ocean. Life after life we are struggling. So now we have got a nice boat, this human body. Sulabham sudurlabham. And it is specially advantageous because the breeze is very favorable
- We are in this material world handcuffed, imprisoned. Our aim of life is how to get out of this material bondage, or prison house
- We are in this material world, say, for fifty years, sixty years, hundred years. That is temporary. In the unlimited time, a duration of life, say of hundred years, that is nothing. Even, not even a point
- We are interested - those who are followers of real Vedanta - to see the result. Phalena pariciyate. Phalena means - by the result
- We are interested to hear about Maharaja Pariksit's punishing the Kali provided it helps us to advance in Krsna consciousness. Otherwise we have no interest. This should be the principle of devotees
- We are just making our teeny effort for spreading Krsna consciousness. What is this Krsna consciousness? This Krsna consciousness is nothing, is simply a drop in the ocean of these great literatures
- We are keeping our faith not to a third-class person. To the supreme authority, Krsna. We have to understand first. Therefore we have discussed this point. Tad viddhi pranipatena - BG 4.34
- We are living this material existence. This is not real life. Real life is to become maha-bhagavata
- We are making plans, so many plans, to make a permanent settlement, but the Lord says it is not only full of misery; asasvatam, you cannot remain here permanently
- We are making some plan to be happy, and it is dismantled by the laws of nature. You study the whole history of the world: it is simply struggling
- We are mismanaging things, we are disobeying the laws of nature - therefore we are in trouble, so-called civilized human society. You see? So there is no question of population. This is a false theory, increase of population
- We are not concerned vegetarian or nonvegetarian, we are concerned with Krsna. Krsna says: "You give Me fruits, flowers, grains," we offer that. If Krsna says: "You give Me meat, chickens," we shall offer and we shall take
- We are not creating anything. It (BG & CC) is not a manufactured thing, concocted thing. It is standard, followed by great acaryas like Caitanya. So we have to accept. That is the way
- 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 are not insisting that you chant Krsna. But if you have no specific name of God found in your authentic scripture, then what is the harm if you chant "Krsna"? This is not very bad proposal. Any intelligent man . . . if you have, you chant
- We are not preaching any particular sectarian religious system. No. We are preaching the real . . . what is meant by religion. Religion means dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam - SB 6.3.19
- We are not preaching any particular type of sentiment, or any frog's speculation. It is fact. How our relationship with the Supreme Lord can develop, how we are related with Him, these things are fact on philosophical basis
- We are not prepared to hear any rascal, so-called scientists and so-called philosopher, so-called God. No. We are not prepared. Because everyone is rascal
- We are not presenting any blind, so-called religious faith. No. That is not our business. Our business is caitanyera-daya katha karaha vicara
- We are not purusa. But we are trying to become purusa. Suppose a woman artificially wants to become man. That is very troublesome
- We are not supreme controller. We are controller of some entities, but we are controlled also by something superior. Therefore we are not absolute controller. We are relative controller
- We are not talking of foster; we are talking of real father. How do you know your real father
- We are not zero. We have got our spiritual body but very, very small. Very small. The measurement is given: one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. Very minute
- We are now accustomed to this miserable condition of life. If you want actual happiness, then you have to undergo austerity, tapasya
- We are now covered by this designation dress: "I am Indian," "I am American," "I am Englishman," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," So many, we have created dress. Just like innumerable quantity or quality of dresses, similarly, these are all dresses
- We are now disconnected with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Now we have to connect again our relationship. That is called yoga. That yoga is described in the BG as karma-yoga, jnana-yoga and astanga-yoga, and at last bhakti-yoga
- We are now dogs of material nature, para-tantrya. We cannot go beyond the rules and regulation, condition, of material nature. That is called para-tantrya, not svatantrya
- We are now in forgotten state. This conditioned material life means we have forgotten our real, constitutional position
- We are now viyoga, without any contact with the Supreme Lord, Personality of Godhead, material conditioned life; therefore we have to make connection with Him. That is called yoga
- We are opening many centers all over the world. Why? To give people chance of having this association of a Vaisnava, mahat, mahatma. Therefore those who are in charge of such centers, they must be ideal mahatmas. Mahatma means devotees
- We are part and parcel of God, but if we fall down from the association of God, then we appear like material. But we are not material. It appears that extinguished
- We are part and parcel of God, Krsna, but Krsna is acyuta; He does not fall down. We fall down. This is the difference. Just like the fire, big fire, and the sparks, they are also fire
- We are part and parcel of Krsna, and Krsna is all-powerful. He says, "I will give you protection." Just like I am giving protection to my hands and legs, so what about Krsna? Krsna also prepared
- We are paying because we have forgotten Krsna. Therefore now we have manufactured the nuclear weapon - Russia, America - and you will have to pay heavily
- We are practically purchasing many churches. They are vacant. I have seen in London, hundreds of churches are vacant. Nobody goes there
- We are proud, "I have got my hand. I have got my eyes." What is the use of your eyes? Unless God helps you to see, what is the value of your eyes?
- We are satisfied with some temporary knowledge. We have no ultimate knowledge. And because it is very difficult subject matter, we have avoided it very carefully
- We are searching after some permanent place, permanent settlement on the world. Nobody wants to die, but that is not possible. But if there is possibility of going somewhere where no more death, why don't you search after that? That is intelligence
- We are seeing here in this material world, this apartment is better than the down apartment. So it is param. Param means better, superior quality
- We are seeing that these people are sleeping, and they are seeing we are wasting our time. This is opposite view. Why? Because their line of action is different, our line of action are different
- We are seeking friendship with so many people to get our motive realized. But if we make Krsna . . . if we know Krsna is already ready . . . in the Upanisad it is said that two birds in friendly way are sitting in the same tree, the body
- We are servant of our senses, kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesas. And our senses are dictating so many nonsense things, and we are serving
- We are servant, even in this condition. But we are servant of maya, illusion - means we are servant of our lusty desires: kama; krodha, anger; lobha, greediness; moha, illusion; so many, mada, madness
- We are simply dreaming. All these activities are just like at night you dream, but they are all false. Whatever you dream at night, they're not facts, they're false
- We are simultaneously one and different. As part and parcel in quality, we are one; but in quantity God is great, we are small particle
- We are sitting here, and after a few minutes we shall go away. That does not mean we are dead. We are in this apartment, we go to another apartment. Similarly, nobody dies
- We are sitting on something. It is not false; it is fact. I am not sitting on the air. You are not sitting on the air. So how we can say it is false? No. Therefore our philosophy is fact. One may consider
- We are so foolish rascal that we are prepared to become servant of the most abominable activities of our senses, but we are not prepared to surrender to Krsna and become His servant
- We are so ignorant of this law of karma, we are thinking, "Now this position of American or Indian or this or that, for fifty years or sixty years, utmost - that is one, everything, all in all. There is no more life." Yes
- We are spending lakhs of rupees for constructing a temple, but we are not interested to construct a house or a skyscraper building. We are not interested. That is detachment
- We are spiritual spark, fragmental part of Krsna. Some way or other, we are put into this material ocean, and there is tossing
- We are spreading this bhakti-yoga all over the world, and here is one of the centers. You take advantage of it. It is not sentimental; it is authorized on scientific basis, philosophical basis
- We are spreading this Krsna consciousness movement because there is a great need of this movement through the whole world. And the process is very easy. That is the advantage
- We are suffering so much on account of being in the material world. Tri-tapa-yantana, threefold miseries. And everyone is trying to get out of the miseries, but that is not possible in the material world
- We are suffering, either in summer season or winter season. We are suffering, tri-tapa-yantrana. There is suffering from our mind, from our body - this is natural suffering
- We are suffering, we are manufacturing so many philosophical ways, but actual position is - that is the statement of Bhagavad-gita - that we are part and parcel of Krsna, God
- We are taking care of this house. Why? Because it is temple. What is temple? Temple means Krsna is there
- We are taking the Krsna's instructions as standard. And that is the fact. There must be something standard. In the society, in such condition that "I believe," "You believe," "He believes," what is the standard?
- We are teaching everyone what he is actually. But his position is... Everyone's position, not only my or yours. Everyone. Even the animals. They're also spirit spark
- We are teaching to the whole world, "Why you are suffering with this body? Get out of the body." This is our Krsna consciousness. It is the best welfare activity to the human society, but because they are so dull, they cannot understand
- We are thinking falsely that we are free. We are not free. Krsna is taking care of us. He has allowed us, - All right, you have come here. Try to satisfy yourself. But there are certain rules and regulation
- We are thinking that we are very free to move in the sky with, what is called, sputniks. But you cannot go beyond your limitation. That is not possible. They are going to the moon planet, again coming back
- We are thinking we are very happily living with nice wife and children and working very hard, getting money. But sastra says, - You are fallen in the dark well
- We are thinking, "I am this body." No, I am not this body; I am the proprietor of this body. That is real understanding of myself: - I am not this body
- We are thinking, because we have got this motorcar instead of a bullock cart, we are advanced in civilization. That is the mistake
- We are trying our best. So only request is, those who do not comply with our rules and regulation, at least they may chant Hare Krsna wherever they may remain
- We are trying to be advanced civilized for changing the pot. That's all. But that will not change the quality. The quality will go on
- We are trying to be under the guidance of Radharani, daivi-prakrti. Prakrti means woman, and daivi, transcendental woman
- We are trying to create a position that not only the Indians have got this responsibility, but according to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, anyone - prthivite ache yata nagaradi grama (CB Antya-khanda 4.126) - they should take up this missionary work
- We are trying to create a real spiritual path, not bogus, for livelihood. India's falldown is due to that spirit, that everyone takes everything for livelihood, that's all. Not only India, everywhere
- We are trying to mitigate all our miserable conditions of life. That is struggle for existence
- We are under the control of maya, and we can get out of it also, as it is said in the Bhagavad-gita, mam eva ya prapadyante mayam etam taranti - Anyone who surrenders unto Me he gets out of the control of maya
- We are undergoing different types of miserable condition of life to become rectified, so that we may come to the senses that, - I want to be happy. I want to enjoy life. Why I am put into this unfavorable circumstances
- We are very much attached to our so-called home, so-called wife, children. You should, therefore, at a certain age, according to Vedic civilization, one is forced to give up this attachment
- We are very small, one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. Still, we have got desires and everything. And according to the desire, as soon as there is creation, everything fructifies, everything comes out. It is called suptotthita-nyaya
- We are within the egg. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-koti (Bs. 5.40). There are millions of eggslike clustered together. This is material world. Millions, not one
- We are within the shirt. This is the first knowledge, that - I am not this body. Why I shall be puffed up with this body? This is superfluous. I am spirit soul. I am part and parcel of Krsna; therefore my only business is with Krsna
- We are, at the present moment, we are servants of the senses. My senses dictate something. I am obliged to do it. I cannot avoid it
- We are, big, big scientists, philosophers, we are trying to understand the activities of the material nature. We cannot go beyond that
- We are, like you, the good public leaders of your nation, interested in material improvement, but also there must be spiritual improvement as well
- We belong to the Aryan family, but we have lost our knowledge. So we have become non-Aryan practically, because we do not give importance to the spiritual side of life
- We can become a teacher of a particular subject matter, but that does not mean you should be worker. Still, there are many professors, they are teacher; they are not worker
- We can challenge these so-called scientists. Their basic principle of knowledge is on the bodily concept of life, pratyaksa, experimental knowledge
- We can enquire that "Why I am being punished?" That is required. That "why" philosophy is very important. That is the beginning of human life
- We can promote ourself in the heavenly planets and we can degrade ourself to the hellish planets also - both ways. Because as soon as we are engaged in karma, unknowingly or knowingly we commit some sinful activities. This is the position
- We can reciprocate all kinds of rasas, humor, because He is the reservoir of all rasas. So this is the rasa of chivalry, the fighting spirit
- We can say from our poor knowledge that as they have failed in the moon planet, they will fail also in the Mars. Take it down. Note now. Do you know this is all bluff
- We can say: "God. I am God," but if you have got sense, you will say that, "I am not the great God, but I am small God." That is sense
- We can see by the symptoms they (advanced scientists) will never surrender to God; therefore they come to these four categories of men: miscreants, rascals, lowest of the mankind and lost of real knowledge
- We can see so long the light is there. If the light is not there, then our seeing power is finished. Therefore it is limited. And Krsna is beyond this limitation. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja
- We can stop your birth death old age and disease. This is the greatest welfare activities to the human society
- We can study what is the nature of the Absolute Person by studying the sun. The sun globe is localized. The sunshine is spread all over the universe, & within the sun globe there is the sun-god, Vivasvan. Similarly, the original planet is Goloka Vrndavana
- We can understand things as they are if we receive the message of Urukrama, Krsna - if you give aural reception to the activities of Krsna. Therefore, you should not waste a moment even with nonsense talkings
- We can understand what is love. This love does not stand, but nature dictates that you love your child like this, you love your husband like this, your wife like this, your country like this, your society like this
- We can utilize the tongue properly and get out of these clutches. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. So seva, seva means service - jihva adau, beginning from the tongue
- We cannot accept anyone as authority if he does not follow the parampara, disciplic succession of acarya. That is the Vedic system. Evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh - BG 4.2
- We cannot accept anyone as God. That is not possible. That is knowledge. Be convinced firmly, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam (SB 1.3.28) - Bhagavan means Krsna, nobody else
- We cannot accept knowledge from sudras. Knowledge must be taken from a brahmin
- We cannot be called Bhagavan because our power is very limited, not purna. Therefore we become saguna. Krsna does not become saguna. The Mayavada theory, that God, when He incarnates, He becomes saguna, that is wrong theory
- We cannot get relief from these clutches of material world unless we surrender unto Krsna. Krsna therefore says very clearly, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam (BG 18.66). That is the ultimate end of this Krsna philosophy, BG
- We cannot say completely. But gradually it will be completely forgetful of God, day by day. Just like we can see. Formerly, our forefathers, they used to construct churches, temples, mosque, synagogues, but nowadays nobody is preparing
- We cannot stop this (preaching Krsna consciousness) business. You see? They may think that, - Why you are, nonsense people, you have given up everything, you are chanting Hare Krsna? You are all fools. You are not enjoying life
- We cannot tolerate the cold climate of this planet, how we shall be benefited even we go to the moon planet? And moon planet is the nearest planet
- We cannot understand father unless there is son. We cannot understand good man unless there is bad man. So these things, duality or relative world, they should exist in this material world
- We cannot understand Krsna by our speculative knowledge. If we try to do that, then we can approach up to the impersonal Brahman feature of Krsna. Brahmeti. That is not full Krsna. That is Krsna's partial realization
- We cannot understand Krsna in full. That is not possible, because He's unlimited, and we are limited. So our power will fail to understand Krsna fully
- We cleanse external body, and internally by cleansing the intestine, the heart, the mind, the consciousness - that is internally cleansing
- We come here as guest, for fifty years or sixty years or hundred years, then we are kicked out, "Get out!" That we do not understand. Because we are allowed to live here for a certain number of years, we think it is my property. This is ignorance
- We consider Him the incarnation of Krsna-Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He preached this (Hare Krsna). Therefore our principle is everyone should follow. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (Cc. Madhya 17.186). We should follow the footprints of great authorities
- We discussed this (characteristics of avatara are there in the sastra) point yesterday and today also, because it is important point, and further we shall discuss tomorrow
- We do not accept any - what is called? - defective suggestion. We do not accept. We have got our program. This program is coming directly from Krsna. The Bhagavad-gita is there
- We do not dissuade persons to stop work. No. That is not our . . . you do your work, but be Krsna conscious. That is it. Just like Arjuna
- We do not know how many births we had previously, but from the sastra we understand crores, many millions of times, we had to take birth. Therefore it is used, janma koti: not one birth or two birth or second birth or fifth birth
- We do not know where to put our love. That we are teaching, yes spot. Most valuable conclusion
- We do not possess it; we falsely claim it. This is our position. Actually it is the possession of God. God has created this land, this ocean, the sky, the air, the fire. You have not created. So how claim?
- We do not say that don't read Bible. Read something, but learn something. Jesus Christ said, "Thou shall not kill." You learn this art. But you read Bible and kill animals, then what is your benefit
- We do not want to keep the human society in the category of cats and dogs. We want to raise them to the real understanding of the identification. That is our mission
- We don't ask blindly, just like one follows some faith or type of religion blindly, and after some times they give it up. No
- We don't care for vegetable or not vegetable, because either you kill a cow or kill a vegetable, the sinful action is there
- We don't hate anyone. Otherwise there will be no preaching. And Lord Jesus Christ said that you hate disease, not the man who is suffering from disease. That is very nice
- We don't kill them (vegetables). We take their fruits and flowers. That does not mean it is killed. And that also, we take it for Krsna. Patram puspam phalam toyam. So if there is any responsibility, that is Krsna's responsibility. I am not responsible
- We don't say that "I say this. I have manufactured this. I have become very big man, God." We don't say that nonsense. It is all nonsense. Simply carry the message of Krsna; then you are perfect
- We don't say that woman should be exploited by men. We say the man should be responsible and give protection to woman
- We don't take, don't accept knowledge from any rascal. We accept knowledge from Krsna, the Supreme. I may be rascal, but because I am receiving knowledge from the perfect, whatever we speak, that is perfect
- We don't try for any economic development. All our members, we have no concern what we shall eat tomorrow, although we haven't got any source of income
- We don't try to speculate. That may or may not be successful, but if you accept knowledge from the perfect authority, that knowledge is perfect
- We don't want anything unhappy or miserable condition of life, but you get it. You don't endeavor for it
- We don't want to disturb the present condition of the society. No. But we try to make them understand that, "There is a great necessity of you to understand this Krsna consciousness." That is our goal
- We enjoy the loving exchange between God and ourselves. That position is called rama. But if you have no idea what is God, how we can exchange our feelings, then there is no question of rama
- We find nowadays, big, big philosophers write volumes of book, simply theorizing without any understanding of the spirit soul
- We find so many faults in such welfare activities. They are opening hospitals for the human being, but the poor goats and cows, daridra-narayana - they are also daridra-narayana according to the definition - but they are being killed
- We find that so-called educated persons, they are not educated, because in the Bhagavad-gita it is said the so-called educated persons are bereft of real knowledge, mayayapahrta-jnanah - BG 7.15
- We find these two characters in the life of Lord Jesus. He was very much tolerant, at the same time kind to the people in general. You see
- We give all facilities to everyone without any distinction that - You come with us. Come in our temple, chant Hare Krsna mantra, and take little prasadam, refreshment, and gradually you become purified
- We have already discussed this point, that niyatam kuru karma tvam karma jyayo hy akarmanah (BG 3.8). that - Your prescribed duty should be prosecuted nicely. Go on. Don't stop it, but work for the life of karma-yoga
- We have already discussed this point, that we must know the responsibility of our next life. Just like a child is given education for the next life, to become youthful, to get into higher education, admission
- We have already discussed this point. When one attains perfection in Krsna consciousness, he does not want anything more. Everything is complete
- We have already explained that we accept the authoritative statement of sastra. Now, Brahma's life is stated there. Arhat means his one day is equal to our four yugas
- We have already published about fifty-four books. These books are selling very nicely. It is not sentiment, it is a science
- We have altars, we have pictures. We offer fruits, flowers, incense, and immediately, by combination of these things, there is some spiritual atmosphere, and there is chanting. So people enjoy it very nicely
- We have been discussing this point, that isvara-vacana, what is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no flaw
- We have come from God. Now we are embarrassed in this material life. Therefore the aim should be how to get out of this embarrassment and go back to home, back to Godhead. This is real goal of life
- We have come from God; we again go back to God if we simply understand Krsna, or God. This is the whole instruction of the Bhagavad-gita
- We have come here in this pandal, or in this Kumbha-mela, not for any other purpose than to glorify the Supreme Lord so that people may understand the importance of this movement
- We have come here within this material world to enjoy material resources. That is called pravrtti. And when we come to the platform of understanding that "I am not this body; I am soul," then my occupational duty changes
- We have come to distribute Krsna consciousness movement. We must tolerate and give this message to the people. Karunikah. Very merciful, in spite of all trouble
- We have come to Vrndavana. Let us follow the Gosvamis. Rupa raghunatha pade haibe akuti. We should be very, very anxious to follow the principles laid down by the six Gosvamis
- We have created these GBCs. So they should be very responsible men; otherwise, they will be punished. They will be punished to become a sudra
- We have discovered so many counteracting methods for diminishing our distressed condition, but if it is not sanctioned by God, these counteracting proposition will fail
- We have discovered so many weapons . . . That is gross, to be handled by senses. Even this nuclear weapon, it is handled by the scientists. But it is not by mantra. That science is still to be discovered by the modern scientists
- We have discussed that point. Arjuna was talking with Krsna in friendly terms, just like friend. Krsna was saying something, - Oh, you cannot . . . you are a ksatriya. You are a military man. How can you give up the fighting
- We have discussed this point that our material bondage is due to hankering and lust for dominating over the resources of matter
- We have discussed this point that we living entities, our life is going on simply by changing dresses from one body to another, transmigration of the soul, according to our work
- We have discussed this point, that either brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, especially dvijottama . . . The brahmanas are called dvijottama. Dvija means twice-born, one birth by the father and mother and the other birth by Vedic knowledge and spiritual master
- We have discussed this point. Why the green apple does not fall down? So this is their concoction. And why the other planets do not fall down, with so many rocks
- We have fallen in this turmoil of this material ocean, and there is tossing of the waves. So we are suffering
- We have fallen into . . . under certain circumstances, so we have to take care of. The real duty is to how to save myself from this material entanglement
- We have forgotten our relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So we have to connect it again. That is called yoga. Because we are now disconnected somehow or other, now we have to connect it again
- We have forgotten our relationship. And yoga means to connect, to reconnect that relationship again. That is called yoga
- We have given several times the example: the Vedas says that cow dung is pure. One who believes in that, he is theist
- We have got a limited, measured amount of energy throughout our life. We are not going to live forever, but we have got some energy by which we can create so many things
- We have got abhadrani, so many inauspicious things, within our heart. This can be cleansed simply by hearing the message of Krsna from Srimad-Bhagavatam, from Bhagavad-gita, from the lips of devotees
- We have got about sixty books. If you want to learn this movement through science and philosophy, we have got our books. You have not seen our books
- We have got already published at least twelve books, four hundred pages. You try to understand. If you want to understand this movement through science and philosophy, we are ready
- We have got consciousness. Everyone is conscious, but that consciousness is covered consciousness. So we are trying to clear the consciousness without any cover, without any color
- We have got experience: one minus one equal to zero. But there, in the spiritual world . . . that is called Absolute. Millions times one minus, still, the original one is one. That is Krsna. Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam - Bs. 5.33
- We have got limited energy, creative energy, so-called scientific knowledge, so-called other knowledge. Limited. Because our senses are limited. And we are thinking that God may be a little bigger than me, Krsna
- We have got limited power to expand . . . yena sarvam idam tatam (BG 2.17), and become immediately expanded throughout My body. And He is unlimitedly big. So how much His consciousness is distributed all over the universe, sarva-jna
- We have got little conception, male and female. So prakrti means the female, the object of enjoyment, and purusa means the enjoyer. So here, although we are dressed in a different way, male or female, everyone is trying to enjoy
- We have got many important books. Let them understand our philosophy with, I mean to say, scientific knowledge, with philosophical vision
- We have got many necessities of life, not only grains. We require cotton for clothing. We require silk for luxury. We require valuable stones and jewels. All these are produced under certain circumstances of rain
- We have got many senses, sense organs, but devotional service begins from the tongue, jihva, jihvadau, by chanting. It is very difficult subject matter, but it is made easy
- We have got our argument and logic, everything. Why should we blindly follow
- We have got our school, Dallas. We are teaching the small children to make the boys first-class men, as it is enunciated in the Bhagavad-gita, and woman to become very faithful and chaste. That's all
- We have got so many wants, because we are imperfect. Especially in this material condition, we have got so many demands, wants, because we are living in an atmosphere which is imperfect. But Krsna is perfect, purnam
- We have got some controlling capacity, according to our capacity, but we are not the supreme controller. That is not possible. Supreme controller is Krsna
- We have got the advantage of getting this knowledge in this life, and again, if we go back to the cats' and dogs' knowledge, then what is the benefit of getting this body?
- We have got these politics, - "We have to defeat such competitors." All these things are created exactly like that, just like a man is creating his particular situation simply by dream. That's all
- We have got these two big oceans, Atlantic and Pacific ocean. Just imagine that within this universe, millions and millions of planets are floating. How many Atlantic and Pacific oceans are there you can just imagine
- We have got this body produced, or born, at a certain date. It keeps, sustains, for a certain period - say fifty years, sixty years or a hundred years, utmost - and then again it is destroyed
- We have made the process easy, that's all, by following great, stalwart personalities. But it is not that it is a blind following. It is based on philosophy and science, this Krsna consciousness
- We have no business to come so far. In Vrndavana I could live very peacefully; there is two room still, in Radha-Damodara Temple. But because there is Krsna consciousness. Krsna consciousness means serving the Lord
- We have no information in this age, at the present time, what is that spiritual world, but they are all stated in the Bhagavad-gita: paras tasmat tu bhavo 'nyo 'vyakto 'vyaktat sanatanah - BG 8.20
- We have no such qualification that we can compose very nice literature. There may be so many mistakes or . . . whatever it may be. But it is revolutionary. Otherwise, why big, big scholars, professors, university authorities, librarians, they are taking?
- We have offered fruits. Not that because we are vegetarian, but Krsna wants this. Just like if you invite some of your friend, you ask him, - My dear friend, what do you like to eat
- We have published this book, Nectar of Instruction. Have you seen? That is Rupa Gosvami. All these instructions are there. Read it very carefully. Everything is there
- We have recently got a testimony of one university authorities, just like one Goswami from Calcutta University, and many others they have got. These copies should be sent immediately to
- We have said that the body is the machine. Then all mechanical arrangement may not be the same in many machines. But it is a machine
- We have seen last time when I went to Nairobi, so many, Africans, they are making progress very nicely, making nice questions, following rules & regulation. So African people, they are not so much sophisticated or so-called civilized to forget God
- We have seen many big, big sannyasi, they give up this world as false. But after some times, when they cannot actually realize Brahman, they again come to this jagat for humanitarian work, for welfare activities
- We have several times discussed this point that the so-called scholars, politicians and philosophers, they read Bhagavad-gita and comment in a different way. This is their foolishness
- We have several times discussed this point, that all our miseries, distresses, are due to this body. There are three kinds of distresses - adhyatmika, adhibhautika and adhidaivika
- We have several times discussed this point, that the government, this word, appears to be impersonal, but actually, behind the government there is a person - the president or the king, like that
- We have several times discussed this point. Just like to understand the sun, somebody is studying the sun ray. He is also studying sun
- We have several times explained in this meeting that there, there are two birds: the individual soul and the Supersoul. They're sitting in this tree of this body. So the Supersoul is called adhiyajna and the soul is called adhibhuta
- We have taken shelter of this material nature; therefore we are full of anxieties and full of miserable condition of life. This is the position
- We have taken this danda. This is our determination. You cannot stop us. That's it. - Because we know this is the only welfare activity to the human society. You make talk, madmen. We don't care for it
- We have tasted this material world. Everyone has tasted. It is full of miseries. Tri-tapa yantrana. Tri means three, and tapa means miserable condition of life
- We have to accept according to the authentic scripture who is incarnation. We cannot accept anyone who claims that, "I am also incarnation." No
- We have to accept knowledge as it is. Why you say secular or not secular
- We have to accept knowledge from the perfect person. This is the sum and substance. Unless we take knowledge from the perfect person, our knowledge is defective
- We have to accept knowledge from Veda, Vedic knowledge, not this rascal's knowledge. Rascal knowledge is that, "Yes," as soon as he comes to the imperfect point, - Yes, we are trying
- We have to become a yes man to the Supreme Lord. That's all. That is the perfection of our spiritual life. Now we are all "no men." God says this, I say "no." Stubborn. Now simply we have to say "yes". That's all
- We have to become serious that, "Krsna, give me intelligence so that I can serve You very nicely." Oh, Krsna will give you intelligence
- We have to carry out simply Krsna's order or His representative's order. Then it is all good. Either killing or not killing, it doesn't matter because it is coming directly from the Supreme. And that is spiritual
- We have to catch again mind: "Why you are going there? Come here. Think of Krsna." Then that is practice. That is called yoga. You cannot allow the mind
- We have to consider what we are preparing for our life after death. That is intelligence. Not that to be absorbed in simply only this small duration of life, say fifty years, sixty years or hundred years
- We have to decide it that spiritual life and material life, they are different angles of vision. If we give more stress to the material life, material way of life, then it is not possible to have any spiritual realization or spiritual emancipation
- We have to eat in such proportion and such kind of food that inside intestines may remain always clear. In a Bengali proverb there is a saying that bhuri and muri. If your these two things are very clear, then there is no question of disease
- We have to follow His instruction, what is given in the Bhagavad-gita. We cannot imitate Him. He is all-powerful
- We have to follow the authorities. We cannot manufacture. There is no need of research work. Simply if we follow the chalked-out path given by the great authorities, that will help us
- We have to follow the footprints of great saints and sages, those who have achieved success by this indication of Bhagavad-gita. Don't follow your whims. Take the standard advice. Just try to become Krsna conscious
- We have to follow the footprints of other authorities. Leadership. In every society they are accepting leadership. So in that way you have to accept authority. There is no other process
- We have to forget all these so-called sources of happiness. This is misleading. Maya
- We have to get rid of this rajo-guna and tamo-guna. We have to be fixed up in sattva-guna, pure life
- We have to hear from Bhagavan, not from rascals. Then your knowledge is perfect. If you hear from rascals, then you become rascal
- We have to learn from Arjuna that when we are perplexed, when we forget our real duty, and therefore we are puzzled, then our duty is to approach Krsna, as Arjuna is doing
- We have to make program. Because this is most misleading. The whole human society is affected by this misleading theory - life is born out of matter
- We have to reach to the point of Personality of Godhead, person. Before that, Brahman realization and Paramatma realization, that is partial realization of the Absolute Truth
- We have to select a Brahmin by the symptoms of his life, not that because he is born of a Brahmin family he remains a Brahmin. No. He must continue the brahminical qualification; otherwise he is not
- We have to select men from the worst class. Papi tapi jata chilo. Nobody will come here after passing M.A. Ph.D. The most fallen we have to select
- We have to simply carry the message of Krsna and try to convince people. If one is convinced, it is good; if not, doesn't matter, I am not . . . going . . . then you are recognized by Krsna
- We have to stop demoniac civilization. Then the human society will be happy and in normal condition
- We have to take protection of the Vedic knowledge, and that is summarized, and Srimad-Bhagavatam is the ripened fruit of Vedic knowledge
- We have to understand it (spirit soul) by the sruti process, Vedic knowledge. That is real understanding. And understanding from the right person, Krsna or His representative. And it has to be understood simply by hearing. There is no other process
- We have to understand like this. Somehow or other, if you chant the holy name of the Lord, knowingly or unknowingly, it will have its effect
- We have to understand that this body is false; therefore the bodily enjoyment is also false. That they cannot understand. This is their misfortune
- We have to understand what is the condition of the society. Just like in the Koran it is said by Muhammad that, "From this day you have no sex intercourse with your mother." Just find out the condition of the society
- We have to use our intelligence. That is described by Srila Rupa Gosvami: prapancikataya buddhya hari-sambandhi-vastunah
- We have voluntarily come into this material world for sense enjoyment, and in sense enjoyment we have forgotten our supreme father, God. The material nature's duty is to give us simply miserable condition of life
- We have walked on the sea beach. So just at ten, one, three feet, away the big ocean, Pacific Ocean is . . . but we are certain that this Pacific Ocean cannot come beyond this limit. How we are certain? Because there is the order of Krsna
- We haven't got to change our position. Simply we have to transfer the energy for Krsna. That is called yoga-sannyasta-karmanam
- We keep one wife, and that is very difficult for us. We have to think over hundred times, "Whether I shall accept a wife to maintain?" You see? But Krsna had sixteen thousand wives
- We Krsna conscious people, we do not kill even a plant because, Krsna says - find out this - patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati - BG 9.26
- We learn from Brahma-samhita that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is within the atom. Not that atom was not known, atomic energy was not known to the Vedic scholars
- We live forever. By change of body you do not die. You live forever, I live forever. Death means we change this body, that's all. Just like you change your dress
- We live like cats and dogs, eat something and sleep and have sexual intercourse, and then we are afraid always and then die. This is cats' and dogs' life
- We living entities, we are like that - a small particle, part and parcel of God. So we are also brightening, shining. We are not dull
- We living entities, we are meant for enjoyment, but we are seeking enjoyment in a false place, or illusion. Just like animal runs after that desert water. But the intelligent man knows - Oh, that, there is no water. It looks like water
- We love everyone, even the animals. But because human being can understand the Krsna philosophy, therefore we hold meetings of the human being. But still, whenever we get opportunity, we give protection to the animals. We give them prasadam
- We love our beloved, our child or husband or wife. That is also not love. That is a temporary sentiment. Actual love is possible with Krsna. That is actual love
- We may be imperfect, it doesn't matter, but because we are accepting the words and statement of Krsna, then our knowledge is not imperfect
- We may be very great man in the estimation of our friends and countrymen, but everyone is subjected to the miserable condition of life. They cannot make any solution. That is not possible
- We may go on experimenting with our limited power of senses, but that will always remain doubtful. But if we accept Vedic knowledge, apaurusa knowledge, then it is perfect
- We must be proud after being situated in the spiritual platform. Otherwise that is also ignorance
- We must be purely chanting. But we should not be disappointed. Even impure . . . therefore we must have fixed chanting process. Because we are not in the pure stage
- We must be under the subjugation of some kind of miseries. But if you become situated in your spiritual platform of life, brahma-bhutah, you immediately become joyful, prasannatma
- We must engage our self in devotional service, or Krsna consciousness. Then our life is successful. Otherwise we shall continue and drag the miserable condition of life, means we shall change in different ways, but it will never be successful
- We must have engagement. We cannot stop. The same example: you cannot stop a child working, or in activities. By nature we are living entities; we must act. It is not possible to stop activities
- We must know what is dharma and what is adharma. Simply rubberstamp, "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am this . . ." like the tilaka and mala. No. You must know the science
- We must remember always that we are part and parcel of God. So we have all the good qualities of God; that is our nature. Just like the drop of the ocean water, it has got all the qualities of the ocean
- We must utilize our time, save our time, how to get out of these four . . . five principles of materialistic life. That is called dharma. And we should earn so much to keep the body and soul together. That's all
- We offer all respect to Lord Siva. We consider Siva as the best of the Vaisnavas. Vaisnavanam yatha sambhu. And we have got sampradaya from Siva. He is considered one of the authority of Vaisnavism
- We offer Krsna fruits, grains, milk, and their preparation. They're very nice. If you come here and eat with us, you'll forget meat-eating. You see? It is so nice
- We offer our all respect to Jesus Christ. Yes. We call "Lord." We offer our sincere respects to him. That is all right. His teaching is all right. He gives you the message of God. We are doing the same thing. So therefore he is bona fide
- We offer prasadam, the same principle. A man does not know about Krsna. But he wants to eat. By eating, he'll be gradually Krsna conscious. Our business is to give opportunity to all forgotten souls to be engaged in Krsna consciousness, today or tomorrow
- We request you all to come every day and try to understand this philosophy of Krsna consciousness based on Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Vedanta-sutra, Ramayana, Mahabharata, all authentic scriptures
- We say also "my body," "my finger," "my head," "my hand." And where is that "I"? You are simply thinking, "My, my, my, my," but where is that "I"? But they have no brain
- We say: "No illicit sex, no intoxication." You are already intoxicated. Why you are increasing intoxication? This maya means intoxication
- We see big, big workers, sannyasis. Madhudvisa fell victim. The example is given, fire and butter. You cannot say the butter will not melt even in fire. Woman is like fire, and man is like butter
- We see generally, "Oh, I have read Bhagavad-gita hundred times." But you ask him what is Krsna, he cannot say. Because he has not approached the acarya. This is the difficulty
- We see in your New York City. Everyone is busy with karma. Karma means you do something, there is some result and you enjoy or suffer. That is called karma
- We see people are very busy. Seventy miles' speed, they're driving car, but within the Paris. Within the Paris. They may go seventy miles, eighty mile, but they cannot go beyond
- We see practically in many temples, because there is no discussion about Krsna, simply a Deity is there, people go for some time, then gradually, especially those who are so-called educated, they do not feel very much interested
- We selected to chant this Hare Krsna mantra because Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the inaugurator of the sankirtana movement, He personally chanted this Hare Krsna. So we follow. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). We have to follow some authority
- We shall always take as much as we require. That is called yoga-yukta. Yuktahara-viharasya yogo bhavati siddhih: one who is situated just exactly what he needs
- We shall be very careful to avoid these kind of mahatmas, who are thinking themselves as Narayana, equal to Narayana, or sometimes they claim greater than Narayana
- We shall become fully Krsna conscious, and we shall go out, outside India, to preach Krsna consciousness movement. That is para-upakara. That is the best welfare activities in the human society. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission
- We shall keep always in mind that Arjuna was engaged into fight not for his personal self. For his personal self he denied - Oh, what shall I do with this kingdom by fighting with my brothers and grandfather? No. Krsna, excuse me. I cannot fight
- We shall not live forever with this body. The animals also, they'll also not live forever. The body will be finished after certain period of time
- We shall take this opportunity to preach. "Crime, Why and What to Do?" We shall give all solution. We can arrange big, big meetings on this point, "Crime, Why and What to Do?" A very suitable heading it is
- We should accept knowledge from such person who is beyond these four defects of conditional life. What is that? Illusion, mistake, cheating and imperfectness. So Srimad-Bhagavatam is that proof
- We should accept this process (harer nama harer nama) and practically see that this is the only process of swiftly realizing the supreme truth, Absolute Truth. So we should follow Krsna consciousness very seriously and sincerely
- We should be searching after eternal happiness, eternal life, eternal engagement. That is success of life. And if we hanker after temporary things, that is not very good intelligence
- We should be very careful about the regulative principles and follow the footprints of Vaisnava. Don't think that Prahlada Maharaja is ordinary boy. We should learn from Prahlada Maharaja how to advance in devotional service
- We should be very honest and live with sadhu, those who are devotees. Tandera carana-sebi-bhakta-sane bas. First of all our mission should be how to serve the Gosvamis
- We should come to the Brahman consciousness, then you'll be jubilant. And when you come to that platform of understanding Brahman, then there is question of sama, samata
- We should fight to our best, but depend the result on Krsna. Don't try to take the credit for yourself. That is wanted
- We should know that our mind is very, very limited. Simply by theorizing, it is not possible
- We should not act in such a way that this imprisonment with this material body will continue birth after birth, either American body, Indian body, dog's body, hog's body, so many - 8,400,000's of body. That is called yoga
- We should not approach God as supplying agent. That is the lowest stage. He is supplying even to the cats and dogs. Then what is the difference between human being and the cats and dogs
- We should not at once try to rise up to the raga-marga, or spontaneous. It is not an artificial thing
- We should not be forgetful, that our eatables which come to us, they can be manufactured by our sweet will. No
- We should not be very much afflicted with these temporary things. We must have the sense how to solve the ultimate miserable condition of life
- We should not be wasting our valuable time of human life simply for economic development. We should be inquisitive about "What I am." This is the first inquiry. Athato brahma jijnasa
- We should not falsely claim that, "I am as great as the Supreme God." No. We should understand this, animanam. I am as effulgent. Just like spark. Spark is jyoti, but not as brilliant, effulgent, as the original fire
- We should not falsely claim that, "I am the supreme consciousness." That is another mistake. I am not the supreme consciousness
- We should not falsely claim which I am not. The most, I mean to say, prideful claim is that "I am God." This is strictly forbidden by our sampradaya that, "Don't claim."
- We should not imitate such shivering to show to the public that "I have become a great devotee," but we should execute devotional service nicely and faithfully; then that stage will come automatically, shivering
- We should not imitate, but follow the footprints of great saintly persons, acaryas. Then gradually, we shall be practiced. Tadera carana-sevi-bhakta-sane vasa
- We should not jump over Krsna without the help of guru. That is not possible. You must go through. Because Krsna says, "Actually one who is serious to understand higher transcendental subject matter, he must approach guru." These are Vedic injunction
- We should not jump. First of all we should read Bhagavad-gita very carefully. Try to understand Krsna, what is Krsna. Then we shall be fit to understand what is Bhagavatam
- We should not restrict God with our speculative mind, that "How is that? Oh, four-headed Brahma, then thousand-headed Brahma? How it is possible?" Yes
- We should not take to Krsna consciousness or sankirtana to solve some problem. No. That is not pure devotion
- We should not try to remain in foolish condition. And if we try to become elevated, Krsna will give us facilities
- We should not waste our this human form of life whimsically. It is a great loss. But people are not educated how much important this human form of life
- We should remember saubhagam, opulence, can be taken away in due course of time. You cannot check it
- We should take advantage of this Bhagavad-gita, and our power of intaking will be increased if we begin with this transcendental sound vibration, Hare Krsna
- We should take advantage. Not that we shall live like animal, without any inquiry, without finding out the remedy, how to stop this miserable condition of life
- We should take example, or instruction, from the behavior of Pariksit Maharaja that everyone is on the threshold of death, but the foolish person, they do not know. Foolish person thinks that, "I shall live forever." That is foolishness
- We should take protection only of Krsna. Otherwise, our all protective measures will fail
- We should take this instruction, that if Lord Brahma, Lord Siva becomes victim of maya sometimes, what to speak of us? Therefore we shall be very, very careful
- We should utilize this human body for furtherance of knowledge. And the first important knowledge is that we should know that there is life after death. That is the basic principle of knowledge
- We show all respect to everyone, even to the ant, but that does not mean that any demigod, any damn, any rascal, should be worshiped as God? No. That is not possible
- We simply accept a sincere soul who wants to dedicate his life for God's service. So it is not easy thing
- We simply say that, "God is great" & speculate like the frog philosopher, "He may be one inch greater than me. All right, ten inches greater than me. Or ten feet greater than." like that. Similarly, if God is so great, then what service we can offer Him?
- We sing in the Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura's prayer, saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastraih: "In every sastra, guru is accepted as directly Krsna." Saksat means directly
- We sit down, don't use any chair, any couches, unnecessarily, carpet. What expenditure? We have no expenditure for personal self. And still you are faulty? What can be done
- We sometimes praise the quality of child, the ignorance. But that child, when grown up, becomes a vicious man. So this ignorance or innocence, they are not very good qualities
- We sometimes see mock-fighting, because that fighting spirit is there. The father and son, the little son is fighting with the father. That is not fighting, but the mock fight. But the fighting spirit is there. You cannot deny it
- We spirit souls we have no business in this material world, but because we wanted to enjoy it, leaving the association of Krsna, we have been given this ship, this body, to ply over the material ocean
- We still have to execute our duty of Krishna consciousness as far as possible and Krishna will help us
- We take everyone as coming from svapacam (family of dog-eaters), but he should be given the chance to become Haridasa Thakura. That is our whole process
- We take up this missionary work, to preach Bhagavad-gita as it is, without any interpretation and without any motive behind it, as it is, as Krsna said . . . we should present as it is
- We teach our men to address his fellow man as prabhu, "You are master, I am servant." In the material world, everyone is trying to become master; nobody is trying to become servant
- We think something very great or greatest according to our capacity of understanding. We are very teeny, so we think that this Pacific Ocean, the greatest. The frog philosophy
- We think that after finishing this body, everything is finished. But that is not the fact. Otherwise, why there are so many varieties of life? The varieties of life are because there are varieties of sinful activities
- We try to follow these principles laid down by Rupa Gosvami, that fifty percent for Krsna or Krsna's devotees, twenty-five percent for personal emergencies and twenty-five percent for the dependent relatives
- We try to remain young by cosmetic, but that is not possible. Similarly, we want to live forever. The lady doctor was, "Yes, we can extend little more." Then what? After all, you have to die. Extend little more or little less, you cannot avoid death
- We want liberation, but not liberation in the impersonal existence. That is not very safe. We must enter into the spiritual varieties of life. That is Krsnaloka; that is Vaikunthaloka, especially Krsnaloka
- We want simply to chant Hare Krsna and remember Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness. It doesn't matter whether it is in the hell or heaven
- We want to give chance to all to raise oneself on that platform of goodness. And on the platform of goodness, there is no chance of indulging in passion and ignorance
- We were discussing Prahlada Maharaja's . . . how he is experienced of this material way of life. It is all useless. So by following this mahajana devotees we can make our life perfect
- We were just reading from the statement of NavBharat Times how they are well managed. But we have no business. We have no source of income. That is the only source of income - Krsna's shelter
- We worship Lord Siva as Vaisnava. We give respect to Vaisnavas. So why not Lord Siva? Lord Siva is a big Vaisnava
- We're made out of spirit - qualitatively the same as Krsna, but quantitatively many millions of times less. Qualitatively the same; quantitatively different. Fragmental portion
- We, so-called civilized man, our six senses are all strong. So what is the position
- Well, you can live little longer, but you cannot live forever. That is not possible
- What about heavenly planets, Svargaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka? In Bengal there is one word, ghorardim, means "no value." Just like horse. Horse never give any egg, but it is said, - It is as good as the egg of horse
- What are the symptoms to know that one is situated in the sattva-guna or one is situated in the rajo-guna or one is situated in tamo-guna? By the symptoms
- What capacity we have got to find out Krsna by research work? That's not possible. That is aksaja. Krsna is adhoksaja. Your paltry research work with limited power of sense, how you can find out Krsna? That's not possible
- What did you go to take shelter of another? That means you condemned Vaisnavism that is not good of you. The same thing because one man is bad as soon as I condemned Christianism you're argument is bad
- What for we are accepting initiation? In any condition, in any condition we shall be purified by chanting Hare Krsna, ceto-darpana-marjanam (CC Antya 20.12), if we chant really
- What I am? Why I have come here? Why I am put into so many miserable condition of life? Is there any remedy? - these questions, when arises, then, practically, his spiritual life begins
- What I say, you do. Then you'll be happy. What I dictate, you do. But you are dictating Me. Because you are My son, what can I do? All right. Do it
- What is brahma? What is Absolute Truth? This inquisitiveness must be there in human life, then it is human being. Otherwise, he is animal
- What is depending on faith, that is not dharma, that is not religion. The quality which you cannot change, that is religion
- What is destruction? It is, rather, construction. He'll live. He'll live forever. This is destruction. You have to change body
- What is gathered as contribution, it should be utilized for yajna. Because the money is given for yajna, not for other purposes. That is a fact
- What is our calculation? I am thinking somebody my friend and another body as my enemy. Why? Because I make distinction on the bodily platform
- What is our dharma, living entities? We are living entities. We may be in different forms; it doesn't matter, 8,400,000's of forms. But what is the actual business? The actual business is that every one of us giving service to others. This is our dharma
- What is that atomic energy? What is the use of it? We'll die. Without atomic energy you'll die. What is that control
- What is that final intelligence? That we must know. That is God. Just like the sun. If we think that beyond this sun there is no more planet, that is not correct. You cannot go beyond this sun
- What is that knowledge? Knowledge that "I am not this body." This is knowledge. And if simply I think "I am this body," you may advance in your so-called scientific knowledge; you are a fool. This is called jnanam
- What is that lack of knowledge? Everyone is thinking, "I am this body." They have gone to unite together, but their basic principle of knowledge is the same that, - I am this body
- What is that object of perception that is pure? What is that object? Give me tangible example
- What is that pure devotional service? No material desire. Because desire is the cause. If I think . . . I am brahmacari, but I am thinking of always sex or woman . . . they have been described in the Bhagavad-gita as cheater
- What is that real religious principle? That is stated in the last instruction: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja - BG 18.66
- What is that submission? "Render service unto him (spiritual master)." Try to please him by satisfying him, by service
- What is that truth? The truth is that isavasyam (ISO 1), everything is the God's creation. And Krsna, the Supreme Lord says, bhoktaram yajna-tapasam (BG 5.29). He is the proprietor. But we do not understand that truth, that He is the proprietor
- What is the Absolute Truth? That is the question in the Vedanta-sutra. The answer is, "The Absolute Truth is that from which everything emanates." Janmady asya yatah. Now, what is that Absolute Truth? Anandamayo 'bhyasat - By nature He is blissful
- What is the Absolute Truth? The Absolute Truth is that from which everything is emanating - the source, the fountainhead, the fountainhead of everything
- What is the Absolute Truth? What is my position in relationship with the Absolute Truth? What is my duty towards the Absolute Truth? What is my ultimate aim of life? - These questions must be discussed
- What is the aim of life? This is described here, dharmasya hi apavargyasya. The human life begins when he accepts religion. That is the beginning of human life, and that is the difference between human life and dog's life
- What is the asuri-bhava, demonic tendency? The demonic tendency is that "I am God." That is called demonic, falsely thinking that - I am God
- What is the difference between Supersoul and individual soul? One is very small, minute, and the other is very big. God is great
- What is the difficulty? This is also stone; that is also stone. That is valuable stone, that's all - valuable in your eye
- What is the experience of Arjuna? Arjuna said: "You are . . . you are the Supreme Person, purusam. You are not female. You are not prakrti. You are purusa, sasvata, and the original, sasvatam, eternally." Not that, the Mayavadis, - Now impersonal
- What is the material miserable condition of life? There are many. But the essence is, as presented by Krsna, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam - BG 13.9
- What is the nature of joyfulness? Na socati. Even in the great loss, there is no lamentation. And big profit, there is no jubilation, or there is no hankering. That is called brahma-bhutah stage. Equipoised
- What is the nature of the Absolute Truth? So that is replied, janmady asya yatah anvayad itaratas carthesv abhijnah (SB 1.1.1). Abhijnah means cognizant, living. The Absolute Truth is not dead; it is living. We are pushing forward this theory
- What is the next life, whether we are getting next life a human being or better than human being, or lower than human being. And if it so, how we are getting that form of life next
- What is the purpose of becoming religious? That you must know. That is intelligence. Simply don't be proud by saying that, "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," - I am Muslim
- What is the purpose of creation? There must be some plan. When you manufacture something, do something, there must be plan. So what is the plan behind this cosmic manifestation
- What is the purpose of daivi sampat? Daivi sampad vimoksaya (BG 16.5): - If you develop your daivi sampat, then you become fit for vimoksaya, for liberation
- What is the purpose of human life? Tapo divyam putraka yena suddhyed sattva yena brahma-saukhyam anantam (SB 5.5.1). You are seeking after happiness. So this life is meant for tapasya, austerity, not to indulge in sense gratification
- What is the symptom of such a rascal government? That is also stated. There will be no fixed position of these things. Just see. What are these? Eating, drinking, residence, taking bath, sexual intercourse
- What is the use of opening big, big factory? Ugra-karma. What it has helped? You were talking on behalf of them. What it has helped? Keeping them, innocent men, women, they are kept in that factory simply for livelihood
- What is the value of such election, and what is the value of such important men, where the whole system is condemned? Is it not the fact? Everywhere, not only in India. Not that the actual good man is on the head of the ruling power
- What is this diamond? The diamond is made by the interaction of sunshine. All these valuable stones, they are products of sunshine
- What is this human civilization? Jumping like dog, in a motorcar, that's all. This is not civilization. This is dog civilization, that's all
- What is this nonsense, maintaining so many idle men without any profit? Very, very bad system. And nowadays especially, when there is atomic energy, what is the value of the soldiers
- What is value of atomic energy? A man is dying; you have accelerated his death. That's all
- What one has to attain after many, many births, we are simply saying is surrender to Krsna. This is Krsna consciousness. That's all. This is the greatest boon or, what is called, greatest reward or contribution to the human society
- What power you have got to see, first of all consider. Then you'll see God. You cannot see even what ordinary things, what to question of seeing God
- What to speak of other planets, you cannot approach even the moon planet, which is the nearest. So just try to understand how much incapable you are
- What we are requesting you? "You think of Krsna. Chant Hare Krsna." That's all. Where is the difficulty? We don't say, "You think of that, this of that, to this demigod, that demigod." No
- What we have got to offer Krsna? Everything belongs to Krsna. Now we have offered these fruits. Do the fruits belong to us? Who has produced these fruits? Have I produced
- What will be the result of accepting the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda? He (Narottama dasa Thakura) says that "Unless you take shelter under the shade of lotus feet of Nityananda," - it will be very difficult to approach Radha-Krsna
- What you have helped? A man is dying ordinarily, and you have created atomic energy. You can kill thousands of men. So you have helped only in dying. But you have not helped in living. That is not possible
- What you see, the sky, a round dome, this, that, above that, there are layers of five elements again. This is the covering. Just like you have seen the coconut. There is hard covering, and within the covering there is water
- Whatever He is doing, that is all-good. This is one side. And whatever I am doing without authority's order, this is all bad
- Whatever is done is done. No more. Now there should be pure life: no illicit sex life, no intoxication, no gambling and no meat-eating. Finished now
- Whatever is going on in the name of religion, simply cheating. Because religion means dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam (SB 6.3.19). Religion means the laws given by God. That is religion
- Whatever little money you save, put it in this. - And when it is filled up, it becomes a big amount. Similarly, these people, abodha-jata, rascals, if they little appreciate, "Oh, these people are nice," that is one asset
- Whatever little resource he (a sincere devotee) has got for material enjoyment, break it. Then he will have no other alternative than to surrender unto Me. - That is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam: yasyaham anughrnami - SB 10.88.8
- Whatever material advancement we are making in the name of facility, emancipation, we are simply bungling the whole affair, disturbing. They do not know that
- Whatever that will attract them. That I want. Krsna-prasadam. Don't waste; give them nice, palatable foodstuff. Give them one finest kachori, one nice samosa, two puris, they will be very glad
- Whatever we are getting for our sense enjoyment, that is with the sanction, the Supreme Person. The paramatma feature is madhyama purusa. He is purusottama
- Whatever we are preaching now, it is based on the principles laid down by the Gosvamis
- Whatever we see here, that is the perverted reflection of our eternal relationship with God. So when we come to that I mean platform of understanding, then we are perfectly in knowledge
- Whatever you are, that doesn't matter. But act it on the platform of consciousness. And that platform, acting on the consciousness, is Lord Caitanya has made very easy
- When a brahmacari is married, he is called grhastha, or householder. But because a brahmacari is trained from the very beginning of his life renunciation of material enjoyment, he cannot be absorbed like ordinary man in family life
- When a civilized man, so-called civilized man, has no knowledge of God, no knowledge of the laws of God, it is simply animal society, that's all
- When a fellow man is suffering, another fellow man must feel for it. That is called daya
- When a man comes to this position or this platform, to inquire, "Actually what I am?" that is beginning of human life. Otherwise, it is animal life
- When a man is ghostly haunted - in Bengal it is called bhute pava - and he speaks nonsense, even his father is before him, he wants to attack his father without any respect. Madman, crazy
- When a peon delivers a money order, thousand dollars, it is not his money. He simply carries. So my business is to carry Krsna's message. That's all
- When a woman has got a child, produced a child, you must know that she had connection with a man, the purusa. So it is common sense

- When Arjuna was just going to fight with his arrows and bows, he simply thought, - Oh, what I am going to do? I am going to kill my own men. The other side, they are only my brothers and nephews, grandfather. What sort of fight I am going to do?
- When Arjuna, denied to fight, Krsna accused him that "You are talking like non-Aryans. You are not Aryan." Anarya-justam, akirti-karam arjuna (BG 2.2) - You are talking like a non-Aryan, and which will defame your reputation. Don't say like that
- When astasiti, eighty-eight years reached, his (Ajamila's) death was imminent. Kala means death. So he did not know that time and tide waits for no man. When time will come, death, then all this my paraphernalia will be taken away
- When Bhagavata says, yad-apasrayasrayam means a devotee is already under the protection of God, and if one takes protection of a devotee, he also becomes a devotee and becomes purified
- When Brahma's night is there, there is devastation up to some extent. So again in the daytime of Brahma, that creation takes place
- When everything was finished in the Battle of Kuruksetra - no Kaurava, none of the sons or grandsons of Dhrtarastra was living, neither of the Pandavas - still, Gandhari was faithfully serving her husband
- When from Brahma understanding, impersonal Brahma understanding, he comes to the platform of understanding Visnu, Lord Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he becomes a Vaisnava. That is the perfectional process
- When God comes, appears on this planet, He appears just like ordinary man. He's born, and He accepts His devotee as father. These are the intricate questions there
- When government opens liquor shop it is not encouragement; it is restriction. You cannot have liquor manufactured by yourself anywhere, everywhere; otherwise it will increase more and more
- When he (a small child) grows up, he may distribute that eatable to his other brother and sisters. So this does not mean you have changed the quality of sense gratification
- When he (Arjuna) did not like to fight He (Krsna) chastised him, "Non-Aryan." "You're talking like non-Aryan." Aryan means advanced
- When he (Bhismadeva) was on his death bed, he wanted to see that form of Krsna when He was very angry and approaching before him to kill him in the battlefield. He explained that feature
- When He (Krsna) says sarva-yonisu kaunteya (BG 14.4). He claims to be father of all living entities. Even the animals, even the aquatics, even the trees, plants, worms, birds, beasts, this human being, that human being - all He claims
- When he (Mr. MacPherson) was coming, he was talking with me many past stories of the war. So once he narrated - he was also one of the commanders - that the First War, Marshal Foch? He was in Second World War, or First? I think First World War

- When he (Sanatana Gosvami) approached Caitanya Mahaprabhu and submitted, "Sir, I have come to You to know what I am, why I am suffering in this threefold miserable condition of life," that is human life
- When he (Sanatana Gosvami) approached Lord Caitanya, he very intellectually asked Lord Caitanya, "Who am I? Why I am suffering these three kinds of material miserable condition of life?" This is intellectual platform
- When he becomes jolly, being situated in sattva-guna, at that time he can understand what is bhagavat-tattva, what is the Absolute Truth, not in the rajo-guna, tamo-guna. That is not possible

- When He comes in the material world, if He becomes controlled by the material nature, then how He is controller? Huh? He is not controller. Then He becomes controlled. We are controlled. Krsna is never controlled
- When He comes, all these miscreants, they are killed. They are annihilated. Vinasaya ca duskrtam. Dharma-samsthapanarthaya, and reestablishing the principle of religion. Yuge yuge sambhavami. The Lord says, - I come in different millenniums
- When He does something, He desires only. By His desires, the energies are there. Immediately the energy works. Just like you have got some energy. If you desire, immediately it begins to work. You have got experience
- When he fails to lord it over the material world, he says: "Oh, this material world is false. Now I shall become one with the Supreme." Brahma satyam jagan mithya

- With so many imperfectness (commiting mistake, illusioned, cheat & imperfect senses), if we try to become a teacher, then I am a cheater. I am not a teacher. We must know first of all
- With such great difficulty we make one Vaisnava. And again, if he (Abhirama) goes like Syamasundara, then it is great loss
- With the tongue begins spiritual life. If we restrict our tongue not to talk uselessly, simply talk of Krsna or chant Hare Krsna, read Krsna books, and when you are hungry, take krsna-prasadam, then it will be possible, you can control the tongue
- With this false responsibility, they (children, father and mother) are packed up in a home. But when death comes, nobody can help. Nobody. This is happening every day, every moment, and still we are falsely thinking, - I am responsible

- Without devotional service, without being Krsna conscious, one is surely to become falsely puffed up. Why he (Sridhara Swami) says? - Because he has got his bodily concept of life
- Without discipline, without proper understanding of the four principles of life, dharma, artha, kama, moksa, nobody can become happy

- Without your rascal philosophy, everyone knows how to use sex life. But they are thinking this is advancement

- Women should be trained up to be very faithful and chaste. Then the life will be very happy. That is the only education for woman
- Women were advised to worship the Yamaraja, Savitri, Satyavan. Then there was samskaras, purificatory method, out of which the higher class will be sacred thread ceremony
- Women, by nature they should remain subordinate. It does not mean, "Because somebody is my subordinate, therefore I shall cut his throat or her throat." No
- Work is not prohibited. You cannot stop working, but the purpose of working, according to the purpose of working, the guna is detected
- Work is there for creation. The work is there, but it is actuated by the perfect potency of Krsna. That is real understanding. Don't think that it has come like mantra. No. The mantra is like that, but we cannot see how subtle work is going on

- Working on this body, we are getting different result. That is called karma. So according to different karma, we are getting different body
- Writing book is not a whimsical, whatever I like. No. You must be empowered by superior authority; then you can deliver the right things. So Vyasadeva was empowered by his guru, Narada
Y

- Yes, we die - to live forever. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). We die for that. This is the last death

- Yes. Becoming more interested. So let us go on fighting with Krsna consciousness. There is no disappointment. Yudhyasva mam anusmara (BG 8.7). We shall fight and chant Hare Krsna. Then everything is all right. We cannot stop fighting

- Yogi means spiritually advanced, and bhogi means materialistic, and rogi means diseased. It is a common saying. A yogi evacuates only once. That is yogi
- Yogi means those who are trying to focus all attention to the Supersoul which is within our heart. That is called yoga system
- Yogis, they are training the senses how to restrain them from sense gratification, but a devotee, on account of their senses being engaged in the service of the Lord, there is no poisonous effect of the senses
- You (judges) rascal, you are talking of my (Socrates') this body. So body is already material. You put it in the grave or in the hell, it doesn't matter. But I am eternal. You cannot capture me. - So this is knowledge. This abhayam
- You all kindly hear from the lips of the pure devotee. Don’t hear from those who are professionally engaged in reciting the glories of Krsna for maintaining their livelihood
- You are admitting that you are blindly believing. So you are blind. You remain blind if you don't accept knowledge. Why you are trying to lead other blind men? Let them have knowledge

- You are all student of the university, but there is no science how you can increase the duration of life or how you can stop death. That is not possible
- You are already inauspicity. Why you are expecting more inauspicity by the presence of comet? We are already in inauspicity
- You are already known as the bright-faced. Is it not? Before coming to Krsna consciousness see the photograph of your face, and now see. Practical. But if you deviate, if you fall down again, that is your business
- You are authority, and if you recommend animal sacrifice, they will take it. They have got already natural tendency, and they will accept it, - This is the religious process
- You are claiming "God." Because you do not want to serve God, that is your mentality. So for these last, lowest class of men, there is external energy
- You are claiming more intelligence than the animals, so use your intelligence in this way. Don't spoil day and night for your economic development
- You are committing sinful activities, all right, confessing in the church before Lord Jesus Christ, he's representative, or his representative, or God. Your sinful activities all neutralized, excused. That's all right. But why you are committing again
- You are conscious of your bodily activities, I am conscious of my bodily activities but Krsna consciousness is conscious of all the bodies, that is the universal consciousness
- You are controller in your home, of your wife, children, servants. But you are also controlled. You are not the absolute controller. Therefore Bhagavan means the absolute controller
- You are cooking daily, and as soon as you cook something it becomes very hot. You cannot touch it. So by nature, everything is hot, or everything is spirit, because it is coming from the spirit, by nature
- You are criminal. You are punished. Again you are set free. That means you are given again independence. But again if you misuse, then again you are put into prison
- You are educated. You should try to understand our philosophy. There are so many things to be learned from our . . . we're not sentimentally dancers only. We have got logic, philosophy, science, everything
- 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

- You can prepare yourself to go to hell or heaven. That doesn't matter, because that is also temporary
- You can rise up to a very nice post, just like the President Kennedy. Oh, with great endeavor he rose up to that post, and all of a sudden he was shot down. So this material world is like that
- You can say any nonsense, but philosophy and science is different. If he's talking on dogmatic platform, then what is his value
- You can say to others, "My dear sir, please think of Krsna." It doesn't require very much education. Simply just like a peon carry the message: "Sir, you always think of Krsna." Man-mana. Then you become guru
- You can say, "All right, I'll offer these fruits and flowers to God, but it is the same. It is remaining. How He is eating?" But His eating is not like my eating, because He hasn't got a body like this. This body is material

- You can simply become joyful, without any anxiety. When? Brahma-bhutah: when you understand yourself, when you understand your spiritual existence
- You can take history of the past years. Your forefathers were living eighty years, ninety years, hundred years. Now, generally, they live sixty years, seventy years
- You can try to understand how powerful is this pure chanting of Hare Krsna mantra. Offenseless chanting of Hare Krsna mantra means you remain liberated always
- You can understand God simply by service. There is no other way. And the faith begins from the tongue. You see? Therefore it is advised that you chant and take prasada. Then faith will come
- You can understand whether a man is in sattva-guna or a man is in rajo-guna or a man is in tamo-guna by the symptoms of his behavior
- You can understand your real father only by the certificate of your mother. That's all. Therefore our Vedic mantra says that religion and God cannot be manufactured by speculation
- You cannot argue that, - One place you say that this stool is impure, and another place you say this (cow dung) is pure. This is contradiction
- You cannot argue, - It is stool of an animal. In one place you have condemned that if you touch the stool of an animal, you have to take bath thrice, and now you say cow dung, which is also stool of an animal, it is pure. Where is your argument

- You cannot change. But you can change by one process. What is that? Mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te. If you surrender to Krsna, then you can get out of this control of maya
- You cannot completely eradicate war from the social life. Just like government maintains the law and order force. There is necessity
- You cannot deny the existence of God simply by a false argument. This is real argument. The mother is there, material nature, and we are children there. There must be father

- You cannot estimate when Krsna's body began. Anadi. Adi, again adi. He is the beginning of everyone. Anadi. He Himself is anadi; nobody can find out what is the date of His appearance. He is beyond history

- You cannot expect that prison house will be very comfortable and you live forever

- You cannot get rid of the four principles of material life, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9), by these soldiers. That is not possible. They will die, you will die, your . . . formerly, your father died, your father's father died. Everyone will die
- You cannot go beyond this wall. But that does not mean there is nothing beyond this wall. So if you want to know what is beyond this wall, you have to know from a person who knows it

- You cannot know by your imperfect senses. Our senses are imperfect. Several times we have described in this meeting that our senses cannot realize the Supreme Truth
- You cannot know father in any other way. There is no other way. This is practical. You cannot know your father without the authoritative statement of your mother

- You cannot make any compromise that, "Never mind it is very much miserable. I shall enjoy." So that also will not be allowed. Asasvatam. Your tendency is to live forever. So that will not be allowed
- You cannot make everyone of the same class. No. That is not possible. You have to use your intelligence in such a way that these four division can work cooperatively and become perfect
- You cannot prepare the seed in your so-called rascals' laboratory. Is it possible? Hmm? So why they are so much proud with their scientific knowledge? Our Svarupa Damodara is convinced this so-called scientific knowledge is bogus
- You cannot realize the Absolute Truth simply by your mundane arguments and by your logical strength, neither you can catch up the right thing by reading different scriptures
- You cannot say that "I have killed one uncivilized man." No. That you cannot do. Similarly, you cannot kill even plant. But we have to live. Therefore we can kill plant under the order of the Supreme
- You cannot say: "No. Why keep to the left . . . keep to the right? Let me keep to the left. I give this law." Your law will not be accepted. The state laws will be accepted. Similarly, nobody can manufacture a religious process. That is nonsense

- You cannot see even the original top of the hair. So everything is there. We must have eyes. So Krsna is also there
- You cannot see now God. So Krsna has come in Deity form to accept your service. And we have to render service. Not that it is a doll or stone. No. He is Krsna
- You cannot stay. Even if you make a compromise that - Never mind it is place of misery. I shall make adjustment and I shall stay here
- You cannot stop fighting between the dogs and cats. Why there is fighting? Because the dog is thinking, "I am dog"; the cat is thinking, "I am cat." Similarly, if I think, "I am Irishman," "I am Englishman," it is the same thing
- You cannot stop the activities of the senses, but you have to purify. That is recommended. That purification of the senses begins from the tongue
- You cannot stop the senses to work. That is the negative process. Because the senses are meant for working. Therefore you have to give better engagement to the senses
- You cannot stop the varieties. You have to change the quality of the varieties. Just like we are eating. It is not possible to stop eating. Why shall I stop eating? But the quality is changed. It is prasadam
- You cannot stop this fighting. It will automatically come out. Just like the forest blazing fire: nobody goes to set fire there, but it takes place. So this world, nature of this world, is like that

- You cannot understand even what is in your presence, the material world, and spiritual is beyond the sky. Paras tasmat tu bhavah anyah (BG 8.20). That is another sky
- You cannot understand God by your present senses, kingdom of God. "But if you engage your service, beginning with the tongue, then God reveals." "God reveals" means He reveals His kingdom, He Himself
- You cannot understand the supreme pure, Absolute Truth, keeping yourself impure. It is not possible. You can understand God when you are pure
- You cannot understand what is Absolute Truth who is not tattva-vit. Tattva-vit means one who knows the Supreme Personality, he is actually vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyo

- You don't have to bother yourself, that without you, everything will be topsy-turvied. No. You cannot do anything. You are falsely thinking that your leadership is very much needed. No
- You fix up your mind at the lotus feet of Krsna, then non-Krsna desires will be finished. Sa vai manah krsna
- You follow one acarya, like Christians, they follow Christ, acarya. The Muhammadans, they follow acarya, Muhammad. That is good. You must follow some acarya. But don't give your opinion. That is our process
- You get all advantage by Krsna. If you want to become a demon, Krsna will supply you: "All right, you become a demon. You take whatever you want from Me." He will give you
- You get some thousand miles away in the radio: this sound and the person who is transmitting the sound is identical, although materially we cannot derive the same benefit. That is the difference between material sound and spiritual sound
- You get the enunciation, definition (from Vedic knowledge), "This is Bhagavan," not that so-called Bhagavan, incarnation, this Baba, this yogi. These are all nonsense. Bhagavan is different

- You have created these skyscraper buildings. That's very nice. Very good boy. Now, is there any guarantee that you shall be able to live here? Have you made any arrangement? Where is that arrangement?
- You have created this material civilization, very advancement. That is all right. But whether you have made any security arrangement that you'll be able to enjoy them? Is there any arrangement? This requires little brain
- You have dragged me to Your lotus feet, but I am inquiring from You that, 'What is my actual position? Why I am forced to suffer these three kinds of miserable life of material condition?' - Nobody's inquiring
- 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 got a duration of life, say, fifty years, sixty years, seventy years - a hundred years, utmost. You cannot increase it by paying money. What to speak of four years; you cannot increase four seconds

- You have got the desire for driving motorcar. Just drive motorcar for preaching Krsna consciousness. You see? Change the quality of the desire
- You have got the fighting spirit. How to utilize it? Yes. Narottama dasa Thakura recommends, krodha' bhakta-dvesi-jane (Prema-bhakti-candrika): - Those who are envious of God or God's devotee, you can utilize your anger upon them
- You have got the Gayatri, om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya. There are other higher planets also: Svargaloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, Maharloka, Satyaloka, Brahmaloka
- You have got the opportunity, because nowadays, democracy that, "Government for the people, by the people." Is not that? So if you are Krsna conscious, naturally the government will be
- You have got this mean mentality that "I am God." You cannot qualify yourself. You do not know what is God, what is the meaning of God
- You have got, all, experience. You stand up; you'll see a long shadow on your back side. So that is maya. The maya is the back side

- You have no knowledge or instrument how to see that minute particle of soul. But there is measurement. There is measurement it is in the sastra

- You have no right to kill even an ant without any purpose, without any sanction
- You have not got to stop your sensual activities, but now you are serving the senses by the dictation of the senses. Now, while you will serve the master of the senses, then your perfection will come
- You have published very nice picture. This is one picture and this is one picture. Bring it. Hare Krsna. Side by side. Hell and heaven, one has to select
- You have read Bhagavad-gita? So this is the duty, "You give up all other duties, you simply take to Me, surrender unto Me." This is duty. All other duties, they are temporary, and this is real duty, to surrender to God
- You have seen the picture of Durga. So material nature is devi-dhama. And above this, there is mahesa-dhama, the region of Lord Siva. Devi-mahesa-hari-dhamasu. Then the Vaikunthas. And the topmost is krsna-dhama
- You have to accept some authority. If you don't accept authority, you speculate. That is your business, but we don't do it. We accept the authority
- You have to accept that you do not know still what is the truth. You are expecting in future. That is the proof that your knowledge is imperfect. Why future
- You have to accept Vedic knowledge. What is stated in the Vedas, that you have to accept. That's all. Otherwise there is no possibility

- You have to hear from the pure source, give aural reception, and think of it, meditate upon it. Simply by doing this, you are liberated
- You have to stop his fever and keep him into his healthy life. That is treatment. Simply stoppage, simply negation, void, that is not treatment
- You have to study the subject matter very scientifically. Then you will understand that although Krsna comes as a human being, still, He maintains His position as God. That is real understanding

- You have to take license that, "You have to supply food like this or that. You cannot supply anything rubbish." Is it not? Control is there, but because it is controlled by another rascal group. So they allow everything to eat

- You have to understand, you have to gather your knowledge from authentic scripture, not by experimental knowledge

- You have to use your intelligence. God has given you intelligence, mind, senses, and you have to utilize them
- You have to work from the platform of spiritual consciousness. At the same time you have to work. The Lord never says that "You stop work," never says
- You haven't got to drive away darkness by some separate endeavor. You simply get the Krsna sun rise up, then your darkness will go out. This maya will go
- You haven't got to find out who is mahajana. The mahajana means who is following another mahajana, say follow Arjuna. He is mahajana
- You haven't got to follow blindly. Spiritual master will not place before you anything unreasonable. But the process is that you cannot change the order of spiritual master. You cannot argue
- You haven't got to learn from anywhere else but from God Himself. So that is explained very nicely in the Bhagavad-gita, sarva-dharman parityajya
- You infect some disease knowingly or unknowingly, it doesn't matter, but the disease will be manifest. Suppose you have infected smallpox infection, contamination. Then it will be manifest. So this education is lacking now
- You just give the aural reception of the words of realized soul. it doesn't require that you have to change your position. Simply you have to hear from the right source
- You just remain in your position. You simply hear. Kindly give your aural reception to this transcendental sound. Very simple process. No charges
- You just take the worm from the stool, put it here: "No, no, no, here is my enjoyment. I shall do it" This mastership mentality is there in Brahma, and the mastership mentality is there in the worm of the stool
- You know - most of you belong to Christian community - how Lord Jesus Christ, he said that for your sinful activities he has sacrificed himself. That is the determination of devotee of the Lord. They don't care for personal comforts
- You know that "I had a small body." I know. Everyone will know. But where is that body? That body is not existing. I was also young man like you, but now I am an old man. Old man means my body is different - old body. Your body is different
- You know, Draupadi's vastra-harana. She was tried to become naked, but these people could not make her naked
- You live happily, save time for developing Krsna consciousness so that next life you are no more in this material world; you are transferred to the spiritual world. This is the purpose of human life
- You make many scientific plans to overcome - it is not possible. Then how it is possible? Mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti. Unless you surrender to Krsna . . . that is your business
- You may be a medical practitioner. You may be engineer. You may be any other man, mercantile man. Whatever you may be, it doesn't . . . you may be a learned man. You may be a foolish man. It doesn't matter. But you hear

- You may be very advanced in scientific knowledge, but where is the possibility of stopping these four principle of miserable condition of life? Janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- You may become Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or brahmin, ksatriya . . . whatever you may be, it doesn't matter. But if you are a religious person, the test is how much you have developed love of Godhead. Then it is tested, - Yes, you are nice
- You may carry the message (Always think of Krsna, worship Krsna, offer flower to krsna and chant Hare Krsna). If he's fortunate, he'll do it. Even he does not do it, you are carrying the message, you become recognized by Krsna
- You may convey my many many thanks to Rayarama for his nice article, "Evolution - the God that's failing." We should write similar articles in Back To Godhead. It is very very instructive, and it has appealed not only to me, but to many others
- You may discover defensive weapons, nuclear weapons, and aeroplanes and bombs, and so many things, because they have got higher intelligence. But the ultimate conclusion: that the defensive propensity is there in you also
- You may dress yourself like anything, but you are simply maya's servant
- You may have some faith, but the law is different. So faith, a dogmatic faith, is not religion. To know the real law, this is definition of religion
- You may live for fifty years, or sixty years, or utmost hundred years; then you'll be kicked out. But they do not know that life is eternal
- You may live very honestly - you may do your duty very honestly - in spite of all these things, because you are not taking to Krsna consciousness, you are simply being defeated
- You may mean something. You may not like. The point is that you may follow. In the Vedas there are different ways, but you cannot decry the authority of the Vedas. That is the point
- You may not be king, but your son may be king. - Just see, this material calculation. Then at that time he said: "No, I shall not marry. That's all. I promise. I shall not marry." So he remained brahmacari. Therefore his name is Bhisma
- You may perform the religious, ritualistic ceremonies, but if your heart is not cleansed, simply by performing these ritualistic ceremonies you'll not be purified
- You may put him (one dog) on the throne; that's doesn't matter. But the doggish quality, you cannot change. Similarly this svabhava. Svabhava means the material nature
- You may remain in the same body, but if you are not under maya, bodily concept of life, that is called mukti, liberation
- You may send in a very decorated university, but the result will be hippies. That's all. You cannot expect anything more
- You must be detached. Vairagyam. Anabhisvangah. Putra-dara-grhadisu, family life. Putra means children. Dara means wife. Grha means home. In this way you have to be situated on the devotional service. Devotional service is not sentiment
- You must be drunkard, you must be woman-hunter, and you must be intoxicated, a meat-eater. That is the whole world, going on. Not only in this planet, in upper planets. I have discussed this point in Bhagavata

- You must be satisfied by the authoritative statement of the spiritual master. You cannot argue. That is the principle of authority
- You must be thoroughly conversant that there is a need of God, and everyone must trust in God. This is the standard of civilization. God is there. Without God, there cannot be anything existing. This is first point

- You must go to a bona fide spiritual master if you want to make your life perfect. - There is no question whether I shall go or not. You must! That is the beginning of human life

- You must have to follow these rules and regulation (no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no gambling, no intoxication) if you are serious. Then take initiation. Otherwise, don't make farce. That is my request. One has to be very determined
- You must hear the experienced professor and learn it and practically experiment it. Then you can learn. Not that by purchasing a book you become a medical practitioner or lawyer. That is not possible
- You must hear the medical book from a medical man in the college, medical college. Then you will be qualified. And if you say: "Sir, I have read all the medical books. Recognize me as a medical practitioner," no, that will be not
- You must know the particular work you are advised to act by the superintendent or the director, not that you can manufacture your duty. If you execute that duty, then you are dutiful. Otherwise, you are simply creating trouble, just like a monkey
- You must understand, happiness means sense gratification. You can understand it very easily. If I get some nice foodstuff, because I satisfy my taste, palate, I feel happiness, - Oh, very nice food I am eating
- You never try to invite calamities, but sometimes calamities come upon you unexpected. There is some great loss. There is some calamity, distress, but you do not want it. How do they come
- You practically make experiment. You take cow dung and apply anywhere, you'll find it is pure. Immediately purified
- You rascal, you cannot see your father. Why you are claiming that, "I want to see my real father." That is not possible. You have to simply hear from the mother. That is only source
- You read this book very carefully and try to understand Krsna. And as soon as you understand thoroughly Krsna, then tyaktva . . . you have to give up this body. That's a fact
- You read very carefully Bhagavad-gita. You have to meet so many opposing elements, so you have to argue and you convince them
- You remain in your position. It doesn't matter what you are. - Kindly give aural reception to the words, authoritative words, of Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, like that
- You remain whatever you are, that doesn't matter. If you simply hear, sthane sthitah sruti-gatam, if you simply give your aural reception to these transcendental words, the result will be that God, who can never be conquered, you'll conquer God
- You ride on a best airplane - there are so many disturbances: sound, moving, sometimes table is moving. But this planet also moving more speedily than the airplane, but you do not perceive. This is Krsna's manufacture, perfectly. Purnam idam
- You say Maharshi belongs to the Sankara sampradaya. Sankaracarya accepts Krsna. Not as authority . . . he says: "Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." He says this very word in his commentary
- You say that, - I accept you (Rukmini repeating) as my husband, and I shall serve you as your most obedient wife, to keep you in all comforts, in all distress and happiness, and we shall continue our life for Krsna consciousness
- You say what it is. Don't say "They say." You use your intelligence. If the foolish man says something, shall I have to accept it? You use your own intelligence
- You see so many planets twinkling at night, but there is no possibility of going there. You cannot go to the nearest planet, even the moon planet, by your mechanical arrangement
- You see the cranes. They have got big beaks. Why? Because they have to catch fish from within the water, so the beak must be very long. So there is facility
- You see these boys and girls and others, they are chanting Hare Krsna practically from early in the morning, five o'clock, till ten o'clock daily, but nobody is feeling any disgust. They like to chant. That is difference between material & spiritual sound
- You should always remember that this Bhagavatam is being spoken by Sukadeva Gosvami to King Pariksit
- You should avoid chanting, every one of you, ten kinds of offenses. The first offense is to decry the scriptures, Vedas. To accept authority of Vedas. Not to accept or decrying scriptures
- You should be egoistic in right way, as your position is. If you falsely think that, "I am this," so what is the use of such increasing that ego? It is psychologically wrong
- You should be very, very careful to avoid these Mayavadi rascals. There cannot be such thing as "Narayana has become daridra." It is impossible
- You should follow Ramanujacarya. Yes. Acaryopasanam. Even Sankaracarya. Yes. Those who have been accepted acaryas, then... Then you accept. But how one becomes acarya
- You should give up your philosophy and science. That, "Because my scripture does not allow me to become educated, I shall remain a fool." What is this
- You should keep them such nicely and friendly way, they will never think like that. They will think that you are giving him food and shelter, and we are taking care, giving them protection to their family. Then they will be happy
- You should keep yourself to the standard of brahminical culture. Then there is guarantee that you don't degrade yourself; you get higher status of life in the higher planetary system: Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka. Then you will get
- You should know that you are eternal part and parcel of God. God is eternal. Just like gold and a small particle of gold, both of them are gold. A small particle of gold is not equal to the gold mine. That is real understanding
- You should learn what is Krsna from jnaninah, tattva-darsinah, who has seen Krsna. So you can take. You can follow Arjuna
- You should not show your feet this is the etiquette. That is possible only in Krsna consciousness
