- Asuras, instead of accepting these instructions directly, make commentaries according to their own whimsical ways and mislead everyone, without profit even for themselves. One should therefore be very careful of demoniac, godless persons
- 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?
B
- Because such attachment in pure Krsna consciousness is very rare and not possible to achieve even for many liberated persons
- Beyond thinking are feeling and willing, so even thoughts of sex connection may come, that is difficult even for saintly persons to avoid still, in the further stages of feeling and willing we can easily conquer over this sex urge
- Bhagavad-gita is not meant for any particular party or nation but for everyone all over the world - even for the animals

F

- He (Uddhava) continued, "My dear gopis, the mentality you have developed in relationship with Krsna is very, very difficult to attain, even for great sages and saintly persons. You have attained the highest perfectional stage of life"
- He (Vasudeva) was therefore very difficult to see or approach through sensory perception. Indeed, he was unapproachable and unperceivable even for such formidable men as Kamsa, and not only for Kamsa but for all living entities - SB 10.2.17
- Her (Radharani) face is always wet now, and therefore there is no chance of Her sleeping even for a moment
- His (Krsna's) pastimes are wonderful even for other incarnations of the Lord, such as Sri Rama, Nrsimha & Varaha. His opulence was so superexcellent that His pastimes were adored even by the Lord of Vaikuntha, who is not different from Lord Krsna Himself

- If a man comes, follows the regulative principle even for some time and again he falls down, so so long he has followed, that asset is permanent. Anything, spiritual asset, that is never lost
- If endowment of powers and withdrawal of powers by the Lord are possible even for a great devotee like Arjuna, or even the demigods in heaven, then what to speak of the ordinary living beings who are but figs compared to such great souls

- If one comes to Krsna consciousness somehow or other, even for material gain, the result is that he will be liberated
- If one goes to Krsna even for material advantages, the day will come when he forgets material desires, just like Dhruva Maharaja
- If performed under proper guidance, that (different devotional activities of hearing and chanting) is the surest path of progress, even for the disturbed mind
- If the entities were equal to the Lord in potency-if they were omnipotent and omniscient - there would be no question of their begging from the Lord, even for so-called liberation. Real liberation means going back to Godhead
- If we neglect even for a moment our routine, work, if we allow the regular programme to become slack then everything else we may try will fail
- If we practice devotional service in this life, even for few days, still, it will be a permanent asset

- It (living on the banks of Radha-kunda) is a difficult position to attain, even for great sages and devotees like Narada. Thus there is no limit to the glory of Sri Radha-kunda
- It appears that mother Yasoda and Rohini could not be separated from Krsna and Balarama even for a moment. They used to pass their time either by taking care of Them or by chanting about Their pastimes. Thus mother Yasoda and Rohini looked very beautiful

- Maharaja Yudhisthira was fixed in the service of the Lord Mukunda (the Lord, who can award salvation), and he had no attraction even for such comforts of life as are available in the kingdom of heaven
- Materialism is based on sex, whether licit or illicit. Sex is full of dangers even for those who are addicted to household life. Whether one has a license for sex or not, there is great trouble

- Narada said: Simply by the influence of his spiritual advancement and powerful austerity, Dhruva Maharaja, the son of Suniti, who was devoted to her husband, acquired an exalted position not possible to attain even for the so-called Vedantists
- Not a single living entity can remain unengaged even for a moment. One must act by his natural tendency according to the three modes of material nature because this natural tendency forcibly makes him work in a particular way

- Srimad-Bhagavatam is a postgraduate study even for the atmaramas, who have surpassed all the studies of Vedic knowledge
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is auspicious even for the nondevotees because it explains that even the nondevotees hovering under the spell of material energy can be delivered from such clutches if they hear the narration with devotion and attention
- Such activity of life (glorifying the Lord), even for a moment, is never to be compared to a prolonged life of ignorance, like the lives of the tree and other living entities who may live for thousands of years without prosecuting spiritual advancement
T

- The chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra is recommended even for persons who commit offenses, because if they continue chanting they will gradually chant offenselessly
- The demigods cannot give any benediction without the sanction of the Supreme Lord. Narada Muni, therefore, advised that even for religiosity, economic development, sense gratification or liberation, one should approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead

- The yogi alone goes beyond this circle of Sisumara & attains the planet (Maharloka) where purified saints like Bhrgu enjoy a duration of life of 4,300,000,000 solar years. This planet is worshipable even for the saints who are transcendentally situated
- There are many instances of such falldowns (in sayujya-mukti), even for great sannyasis in the Mayavada school
- There are so many instances of falldown, even for great yogis like Visvamitra. A grhastha is saved, however, because of his faithful wife
- There is a similar struggle for existence even for the King of heaven, Indra

- This process (hearing the holy name of God) is recommended not only for the successful execution of devotional service, but also even for those who are materially attached
- This study of soil is now a greatly specialized science, but formerly it was common knowledge even for the ordinary man. They learned to study herbs and plants to discover how they would act as medicine for different ailments

- To deny an offering that has come of itself is not commendable even for one absolutely free from all attachment, much less one addicted to sensual pleasure

- To understand Krsna is very, very difficult, even for the siddhas, those who have attained perfection of life
W
- We shall not forget Visnu even for a moment. This is the basic principle of devotional life. Some way or other, we have to remember always Krsna. Then whatever condition we may be, we are pure
