- Modern householders are practiced to different modes of life, namely to rise late and then take bed tea without any sort of cleanliness and without any purificatory practices as mentioned above

- This sort of preaching (worshipping demigods gives the same result as worshipping God) is not only against the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita, or those of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, but is also foolish
- This sort of punishment (dunk someone and thrusting him completely underwater, and when he is almost suffocated take him out of the water and allow him to breathe and then again dunk him to suffocate) inflicted upon the forgotten soul by Yamaraja
- This sort of service or mercy (people are anxious to give service to other living entities but they are expert in killing the poor living entities) is not recommended in the Vedic wisdom
- This sort of thinking is also a type of meditation on the Absolute Truth, and as soon as such meditation begins, one develops one's godly qualities, and the whole world appears to be a happy and peaceful residence for all the people of the world
- Those who are too much sinful, those who are causing these abortions, they will get this sort of life. They will never see light
- Those who play the role of helping this sort of civilization in the name of educational advancement are actually doing more harm than those who are on the platform of gross sense gratification
- Thus there was a sort of competition between Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Jagannatha in seeing who would lead, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu was so strong that He made Lord Jagannatha wait in His car

- We are engaged in various activities undoubtedly, but we do not know what sort of activities we shall adopt that will give us relief from the actions and reactions of all activities. That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gita
- We are engaged in various activities. Undoubtedly we do not know what sort of activities we should adopt to gain relief from the actions and reactions of all these activities, but this is also explained in the Bhagavad-gita. BG 1972 Introduction
- We can just imagine what sort of protection is given by the Personality of Godhead to the person who surrenders unto Him, not as an enemy but as a devoted servitor
- We require to undergo some sort of penances. That penance is that engage our senses not in the process of sense gratification but in the process of serving the Supreme Lord, dovetailing, dovetailing our independence
- We should recruit any sort of men out of the four classes; brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra. For our members we do not make any discrimination
- We shudder because we have no idea that what sort of servant is in the transcendental world. In the transcendental world, there is no distinction between the servant and the master
- We, losing sight of our spiritual identity, become crazy and are put into this material world. Thus the material world is a sort of lunatic asylum, and we can easily notice that nothing is done very sanely here
- We, those who are materialistic persons, we are mad after sense gratification. Exactly like a person who is ghostly haunted, he speaks all sorts of nonsense, similarly, in our material condition we speak simply all nonsense
- Whatever we do here, within this material world, is some sort of sinful activity, even if we do not know it
- When a disciple is serious about making, about making a solution of the suffering, then he requires a spiritual master. And what sort of spiritual master? Krsna, the most perfect man, the most perfect man. So a spiritual master is representative of Krsna
- When a friend or relative dies, especially among lower class men, the dead body is decorated. Dressed and ornamented, the body is taken in procession. That sort of decoration of the dead body has no actual value because the life force is already gone
- When Dhruva Maharaja refused to accept the brahminical instruction of Narada Muni, naturally the next question would be what sort of instruction he wanted. So even before Narada Muni asked, Dhruva Maharaja expressed his heartfelt desire
- When Narada saw that the hunter was trying to save the lives of the ants in this way, he was reminded of a verse from the Skanda Purana: Is it not wonderful that a devotee of the Lord is not inclined to give any sort of pain to anyone, not even to an ant
- When one begins to render some sort of transcendental loving service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the neutral relationship known as santa-rasa is transformed into dasya-rasa, servitorship
- When the girls live together they will pick up quarrels. Anyway, that sort of quarreling will continue whenever there is a little bit individuality. Even such quarreling is visible in the spiritual world also
- When the living being directs his eternal service attitude toward the eternal Supreme Being, such service can never be hampered by any sort of material hindrance
- When the living being is in the mode of goodness, in sanity, and understands what sort of activities he should adopt, the actions and reactions of his past activities can be changed. BG 1972 Introduction
- Why have people accepted this sort of civilization? Because they are led by blind leaders
- With these requisites (what sort of house and decorations there should be, what sort of dress the wife should have, etc) fulfilled, the husband will be attracted by her (the wife's) beauty, and a favorable mental situation will be created
- Without hearing such literatures, one cannot make actual progress. And without hearing and following the instructions, the show of devotional service becomes worthless and therefore a sort of disturbance in the path of devotional service
- Without relishing some sort of mellow or loving mood in one's activities, no one can continue to perform such activities
- Worshiping the multidemigods for material gain is practically a perversity of religion. This sort of religious activity has been condemned in the very beginning of the Bhagavatam as kaitava-dharma
Y
- You cannot make any progress by this sort of karmi's life. We have to work for organization, but not that whole day and night engaged and no sat-sanga. That is a misguided policy, and it will spoil the whole structure
- You have to know what sort of life we should accept, pravrtti - this is called pravrtti - and what sort of life we should reject. This is required. This is the distinction between sura and asura
