- By penances, austerities, & meditations they (the jnanis & yogis) can rise up to the platform of the Supreme Absolute, but as has been explained, they again fall down to the material world, because they have not taken Krsna's personal features seriously
D

I

- If you satisfy a pure devotee of Krsna, he can give you Krsna like this, "Take it." Vedesu durlabham adurlabham atma-bhaktau. Bhakta can do that. Bhaktya mam abhijanati. You come through bhakta or come through bhakti
- If you want to be happy, you have to take Krsna. Then you'll be happy. Otherwise not

- Our only request is that "Take Krsna as the original father, original father"

- Putana Raksasi - she also offered Krsna poison. But Krsna is so nice that He thought, "She took Me as My mother," so He took the poison & delivered her. Krsna does not take the bad side. A good man does not take the bad side - he takes only the good side

- The aim of life is God realization, God realization, that "There is God, His name is Krsna, His address is Vaikuntha, His number is this, He has got so many friends, He has got so many lovers." Everything we are giving. But still, the rascal will not take
- The first-class yogi takes Krsna as everything - priya, suta, sakha, guru, everything. This is real bhakti
- The fish took the moon to be one of them or maybe something illuminating, but nothing more. The unfortunate persons who do not recognize Krsna are like such fish. They take Him to be one of them, although a little extraordinary in opulence, strength, etc

- They (the hippies) have no leader. Now, if they come to us seriously, they get the right thing. But that is also their defect. When we propose, "Come and take this Krsna," they don't want. They want that marijuana
- 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
- To understand Krsna is not very easy job. But by the grace of Krsna you can understand Krsna. Krsna is explaining Himself. That is Krsna, great. You take

U

- We take God as He is. It is not image of God, but God Himself. He has come here in the form which you can see. God is everywhere, but unfortunately we haven't got eyes to see Him

- We take Krsna prasada, but while touring, sometimes we have to take some food in a hotel. Because one is a devotee, should he think, "I will not take any foodstuffs from the hotel. I shall starve"? If I starve, then I will be weak & not be able to preach

- You can take Krsna's mercy also, provided it is delivered as it is. Just as we are teaching Bhagavad-gita
- You cannot find out Krsna by simply academic education. Adurlabha atma-bhaktau. But He is available from His devotee. If you approach a devotee of Krsna, he can deliver you Krsna like anything - Here is Krsna. Take
- 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
