Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Lectures

The people of this age, they are very slow. They . . . practically, they have no intention for utilizing this human form of life. Generally, people, especially in the Western countries, they are simply interested like animal—eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That's all. We are also imitating in India. We have also made our business . . . this is animal business. So therefore mandāḥ, they are not at all interested.

Kṛṣṇa is so kind that He has appeared as a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, Lord Caitanya, and He is giving you the mercy, causeless mercy, so that you can understand Kṛṣṇa very easily.

Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī, he has taught us how to canvass door to door for accepting Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What is that? The process is, dānte nidhāya tṛṇakaṁ padayor nipātya kāku-śataṁ kṛtvā cāhaṁ bravīmi (Caitanya-candrāmṛta 8.90).
