- It may be argued that whereas someone may receive a sadhu with great respect, someone else may not receive a sadhu with such respect. A sadhu, however, is always equipoised toward everyone

- Krsna consciousness may not be practical for all, but that does not mean it should not be preached
- Krsna consciousness means to understand these things (that if we contaminate sinful activities it may not be manifest immediately). It is not a bogus propaganda that, "You meditate fifteen minutes & you become God," nonsense. This is not such a movement
- Krsna does not say that there is such a thing as dreamless sleep. As soon as we go to sleep, we will have a dream, although we may not remember it. In the Gita Krsna cautions that one who dreams too much while sleeping cannot properly execute yoga
- Krsna said, "There is no second one beyond Me, so I shall become your son." So He became son. So He must play perfectly, that Yasodamayi may not understand "Here is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Then the feelings of mother and son will disappear

- New men may not always behave so nicely but we must be tolerant. To train a new man is like training a wild animal to be a pet

- One has to consider the particular time, country and conveniences. What is convenient in India may not be convenient in the Western countries
- One may be fortunate to have it, or one may not have it even after thousands of endeavors. Therefore, in all spheres of devotional service, freedom is the main pivot. Without freedom there is no execution of devotional service
- One may not be as fortunate as Maharaja Pariksit to have the opportunity to see the Lord in the womb of his mother, but even if he is not so fortunate, he can be made so if the parents of the child desire him to be so
- One may not be very advanced, but one should try at least to do something to understand God

- One person may be or may not be inclined to accept Krishna Consciousness, but that doesn't matter, but if we try our best to make one person Krishna Conscious, then our duty is carried nicely. That is recognized by Krishna
- One should attempt to write for self-purification. It may be published or it may not be published, but that does not matter
- One should give up all other duties and surrender unto the lotus feet of Krsna. That is the real religious principle everyone should follow. Even though one follows Vedic scriptures, one may not know this transcendental principle
- One should not be discouraged in the discharge of devotional service. Failures may not be detrimental; they may be the pillars of success
- One should touch the lotus feet of the Lord with one’s head. This may not be possible for everyone, but at least the pujari should do this. (57) The flowers offered on the previous day should touch one’s head
- One whose knowledge is deluded by the external energy - they do not take the shelter of Krsna. Although the opportunity is open for everyone. But we may not be like the miscreants, foolish and lowest of the mankind. Let us become intelligent
- Otherwise, he may adopt many artificial means to satisfy the demands of the genitals, and he may not use any restraint

S

- Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya informed his brother-in-law, Gopinatha Acarya, "The Supreme Personality of Godhead may not have shown mercy to me, but what is the proof of His having shown it to you? Kindly let us know about this"
- She (Rukmini-devi) is Laksmi-devi, and she was always afraid of Krsna that, "He may not leave me away." Always afraid

- Suris are great scholars, but they may not always be anagha, or spotless
T
- 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 (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 (to think it maybe nobody's and take it) is also stealing. Because it must belong to somebody. And you take it without his permission. You may not know exactly who is the proprietor, but you know, "It must belong to someone." That is knowledge

- The best thing is that they should be educated to become gentlemen. Keep guns, but they may not improperly use them

- The inductive process is that, "Why shall I accept man is mortal? I may not have seen a person who is immortal." So that argument can be given

- The spirit of the disciplic succession may not be changed, but there may be adjustments made to suit the special circumstances

- The word papa-yoni refers to those who are less than sudras, but even though a woman may not be papa-yoni, because of being less intelligent she sometimes forgets devotional instructions
- The word suprajatamah ("surrounded by many children") is very significant in this verse (SB 4.23.33), for one may have many children but may not have any qualified children
- The yogi who has withdrawn to a secluded place in order to meditate perfectly may not be as perfect as a devotee who is trying his best to turn every man toward Krsna consciousness. BG 1972 purports
- There are also others (maha-bhagavatas), who may not be liberated from birth but who develop a tendency for devotional service by association, and they are called sadhana-siddhas
- There are many stories and incidents in Srimad-Bhagavatam that are described figuratively. Such allegorical descriptions may not be understood by unintelligent men; therefore it is the duty of the student to approach a bona fide spiritual master
- There are other devotees, who may not have undergone all the required details of devotional service but who, by the special mercy of guru and Krsna - the spiritual master and the SPOG - have immediately attained the perfection of pure devotional service
- There are prescriptions for fasting on certain days of the month. One may not be inclined to practice such fasting, but because of his determination to make advancement in the science of KC, he should accept such bodily troubles. BG 1972 purports

- There must be now checking that all these rascals may not join and spoil the movement. You should not admit. They can come and go. So how it will be done unless you GBC members become very strong and with good brain?
