- We are restricting, that "Don't work hard like hog and dog or animals. Just satisfy your minimal necessities of life, save time and advance in spiritual understanding." This is our mission
- We are trying to enlighten humanity so that people may come to the understanding that they should work hard in tapasya for self-realization and freedom from the continuous bondage of birth, death, old age and disease in one body after another
- We are working so hard for sense gratification, we are never satisfied. But if one-hundredth part of this labor, if we devote for understanding Krsna consciousness, our life will be successful. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings. Try to understand
- We are working very hard in this material world, but we are not preparing ourself for death, which is a "must" fact. Everyone must die. The modern civilization, they are afraid of death, but they do not know how to counteract death
- We have created a civilization simply working hard day and night, and the purpose is sense gratification. That's all. That is prohibited. Make your life simplified. Save your time for Krsna consciousness
- We have created a civilization that one must earn thousands of dollars, then he can live like a gentleman. Is that successful life? And for earning that thousands of dollars he has to work so hard, just like animal, beast. No. That is not successful life
- We have created unnecessary problems simply by forgetting Krsna. This is the material nature. Bhave 'smin klisyamananam. Therefore you have to work so hard
- We have to live. The same thing: we are also working, we are also eating, we are sleeping, we are also marrying - but according to Krsna's direction. Then it is Krsna conscious life and perfect life
- We require a place to live together, "Home, sweet home." Yes, very sweet. The whole day and night, work. And this is moha. He is working hard day and night. There is not a single moment leisure, and still, he's: "Sweet home." This is illusion
- We work so hard, accumulate money for showing to our relatives, to our friends: "Now, just see how I have become rich"
- What are you eating? "Four capatis. That's all." Why four capatis you are working so hard? "No, for my next generation," or "For my son, for my grandson, for my this, for my that, and . . ." This is called mudha
- What do you mean by "successfully living"? Successfully living does not mean that you work hard just like cats and dogs, and eat something and have sex life at night. That is not successful life
- What is this life, working so hard day and night, no, and discovering so many things, and as soon as the water supply is stopped, everything stops? The electricity will stopped, the electric train will stop, the lift will stop, the light will stop
- When one is relieved (from fruitive activity through the arousal of Krsna consciousness), he is no longer interested in working hard for sense gratification
- Why do you think, why you are so much pessimistic of this life? Just work hard and enjoy life. That's all
- Why they are working so hard? The answer is maithuna, sex indulgence, that's all. They have no other happiness except that sex intercourse at night he will enjoy. Therefore he is working so hard. Otherwise there is no other happiness. Everything is zero
- Why you are working so hard, sir? - "I will enjoy sex at night. This is my ambition." - Oh, very good ambition. This ambition the dogs also have got. So why you are working so hard?
- Why you should be so much working hard to make them Krsna conscious, unless you love Krsna? This is the sign of love. "I love Krsna, but I do nothing for Krsna," that is nonsense
- Women especially dress themselves up in the evening because the husband comes home in the evening after working hard all day
- Working hard all day and night, then having some sex life - we think that in this way we are very happy. But this is not happiness. This has been described in the Bhagavatam as a hog's happiness
- Working hard, day and night, how to lord it over the material world. This is one dharma. Another dharma, when the karmi's frustrated, because he cannot enjoy . . . because he is not enjoyer
Y
- You are working so hard, day and night, very busy, going this side, that side, this side, that side, and getting money, and leading a life like hog. What is this civilization? This is not civilization
- You ask these asuras that, "If you do not believe in the next life, then why you are working so hard?" They reply, "For the next generation." Next generation. And if you do not believe in the next life, what is the meaning of next generation
- You cannot change your destiny simply by working hard like asses and dogs. No. But you can utilize your special human energy for improving your Krsna consciousness. That's a fact
- You don't require any education for this karma. They are making big, big plans to educate people how to work hard. This is waste of time. Educational institution should be for teaching people how to become Krsna conscious, not to become this or that
- You have done the work of a laborer, that's all. You have taken ingredients from God and worked hard and transformed into a step. That's all. Your creation means just like carpenter creates a furniture. That's all. That is his creation
- You have seen sometimes the horse. They are having foams in the mouth. So we have to work so hard in this material world that sometimes foam comes. Yes. We become thirsty
- You might open many hospitals, but where is the solution of the disease, that there should be no more disease? That you cannot do. Therefore your so-called scientific research, working hard day and night, is all monkeys' business. Useless
- You will see in big, big cities, how they are going by the daily, passengers how they are hanging in the buses, going. Why? Why they are working so hard?
- You work hard, but what is your aim of life? Simply sense gratification. It is falling life. Jivasya tattva-jijnasa
- You work hard, keep yourself fit, but live for tattva-jijnasa. That is life, tattva-jijnasa: What I am? What is God? What is this material world? Why I have come here? Why I am put into so much trouble? These are the inquiries
- Your knowledge has not benefited you. Our taking your so-called science has benefited you because you are using it for Krsna. You have worked so hard, so result is going to Krsna
