- There is no independence, either materially or spiritually. But we're falsely thinking to become independent. That is called illusion, maya
- There is no need of bothering Krsna, "God give us our daily bread." He will give you. Don't bother. Try to become very faithful servant of God. "Oh, God has given me so many things. So let me give my energy to serve Krsna." This is required
- There is no scope for an imposter to become an incarnation, for an incarnation must be mentioned in the sastras
- There was a quarrel between him (Visvamitra Muni) and a rsi. So he saw the extraordinary power of the rsi, and he wanted to become a brahmin. So he began austerity
- These books are so potent that anyone who reads them is sure to become Krishna Conscious. So it is a very valuable service to distribute our books
- These boys and girls, American boys and girls, they're being taught, instructed to become first-class, intelligent man. This is the movement
- These sages (advanced sages who were captivated by the beauty of Lord Ramacandra and who desired to become women in order to embrace the Lord) appeared in Gokula Vrndavana when Krsna advented Himself there, and they were born as gopis, or girl friends
- These sons, who were named the Savalasvas, also (like the Haryasvas) engaged in worshiping Lord Visnu to beget children, but Narada Muni convinced them to become mendicants and not beget children
- 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 are making scientific researches to become happy, but these rascals, they do not know how to stop death. So what is the nice? But they have no brain to understand
- 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 cannot understand that by serving Krsna, we become healthy or in our normal position. This is called ignorance. Somebody is trying to forget Him, somebody is trying to become equal with Him. This business is going on
- 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 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 no brain to become brahmana or to become ksatriya or vaisya, they are called sudras. And sudra's business is to serve the other upper three classes, laborer, worker classes, and satisfied with some service
- 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 may defy leadership, they may defy authority, but one who defies authority, he wants to become authority. So this is natural. Without leader nothing can be done
- They must have done pious activities in their previous life, all Americans. But they should know that this is their advantage to become Krsna conscious
- They think to become rich is more than understanding Krsna. That is the position. Therefore they are not interested. They say frankly that "We are not interested. Why do you bother us?" Just see
- They worshiped Him to become free from material conditions and thus derive the ultimate benefit. Whoever follows such great authorities is also eligible for liberation from the material world

- 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 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 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 is also very difficult to become brahma-bhutah. We are now jiva-bhutah, but people are not interested to become brahma-bhutah or devotee of Krsna. They are interested to continue this material way of life, changing the body. They do not know
- This is the idea, to become servant and to become maidservant. This is ideal of human civilization
- This is the ideal of life, to become sa-natha-jivitam, living with hope that "I have got my master who will give me protection." That is ideal life. Others, they are living independently - anatha, no master
- This is the material world. Everyone is trying to become master through various devices, although everyone is servant of his senses

- This Krsna consciousness movement means to become trained up sufficiently how to enter Krsna's great family. In Krsna's family there is no sannyasi. Have you seen, anyone, a sannyasi in Vrndavana? At least in the books?
- This Krsna consciousness movement means to train people to become the topmost yogi. Topmost yogi. Because they have controlled their senses. No meat eating, no intoxication, not even smoking or drinking tea. This is yoga

- This Krsna consciousness, is required. It is a mistake to understand that we are trying to push on Hindu culture. Where is the Hindu culture? To become a gentleman is Hindu culture? It is for everyone

- This material world means we have got a seed of ambition that I want to become greater than everyone
- This wrong caste system should be abolished, and training centers should be opened how to train a person to become brahmana or to become ksatriya
- Those who act piously have a better chance to become devotees. As Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 7.16), catur-vidha bhajante mam janah sukrtino 'rjuna: O Arjuna, four kinds of pious men render devotional service unto Me
- Those who are sinful, they do not take immediately birth. They first of all trained up in the hellish planet how to suffer to become accustomed and then they are taken birth, then suffer

- To become ideal householders we should follow in the footsteps of Lord Krsna as He displayed His daily activities, but we cannot imitate Him at any stage of our life

- To become Krsna conscious is not very difficult job. Simply you have to follow the direction. That's all. But if you manufacture your own meaning, commentation on Bhagavad-gita, then you are deviated. You are lost
- To become Krsna conscious is to become religious, is to remain in goodness, and is to make progress and advancement in self-realization. Everything is complete. There is no comparison of any religion with Krsna consciousness

- To become very good man in this world, that does not mean that he is freed from this material contamination
