- Every person engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord is prone to so many material activities, and if one is not strong enough to protect himself against the onslaught of material affection, he may be diverted from the spiritual energy
G
- God does not die, so I also shall not die. That is my position. That is explained in Bhagavad-gita (2.20): na jayate mriyate va kadacit. Describing the soul, Krsna says that the soul is never born (na jayate), and if one is not born how can he die
- Guru means sadhu. A sadhu means the devotee of the Lord. If one is not sadhu, then he cannot become guru
I

- If one is not a devotee, even if he has some materially good qualities, they have no value. That is the verdict of the Vedas

- If one is not fortunate to be learning how to love God, then his religious principles are simply fanaticism, without any value
- If one is not free and wrongly thinks that he is free, then what is that mentality? A doggish mentality

- If one is not interested in satisfying Lord Visnu, Vasudeva, all his so-called auspicious activities are fruitless

- It is said, vrddhatvam vayasa vina: one may be senior without being advanced in age. Even if one is not old, one gains seniority if he is senior in knowledge
M
- Man can go on speculating for several millions of years, and if he is not devoted, if he is not a lover of the Supreme Truth, he will never understand Krsna or the Supreme Truth. BG 1972 purports
- Moghasa mogha-karmano mogha jnana vicetasah: (BG 9.12) if one is not a devotee, his hopes, his activities and his knowledge are all baffled
- Moghasa mogha-karmano mogha-jnana vicetasah: (BG 9.12) because he is bewildered (if one is not interested in satisfying Lord Visnu), he is baffled in his hopes, baffled in his activities, and baffled in his knowledge
O
- One has taken to this Krsna consciousness cult and is chanting as far as possible, but there is possibility, because one is not mature, there are so many attraction of maya, he may fall down
- One is not happy, but he's thinking, "I am happy." And they are trying to become happy in so many other ways. But that is not the way of seeking happiness
- One should always keep this understanding in mind (even if one is promoted to Brahmaloka, if one is not freed from material bondage one must return to this planet earth) so as not to be allured by any kind of sense enjoyment, in this life or in the next
- One should approach a sadhu or great sage not to see but to hear him. If one is not prepared to hear the words of a sadhu, there is no profit
- One should be very careful as far as these items are concerned. If one is not careful, one will be negligent in executing devotional service
R
- Religion means abiding by the orders of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If one is not qualified to talk with Him and take lessons from Him, how can one understand the principles of religion
- Religious means that is the beginning of human life. If one is not religious, then he is animal. Dharmena hinah pasubhih samanah
S
- So in this way Kali-yuga is polluted. Everything is contaminated, polluted. So it is called the ocean of faults. Because the life is meant for liberation. If one is not interested in liberation, simply for sense gratification, that is conditional life
- Species lower than human beings are not responsible for their actions because they are made to act in a certain way, but in the developed life of human consciousness, if one is not responsible for his activities, then he is sure to get a hellish life
T

- The association of a great saintly person (sadhu-sanga) is very important, because even if one is not advanced in knowledge, simply by association with a great saintly person one can immediately make considerable advancement in spiritual life
- The necessity of a spiritual master is for him who is conscious of his material suffering. If one is not conscious of his material suffering, then he is not even on the human being status. He's still in the animal status
- The soul is always the same. The soul is the same but always individual, even if one is not Krsna conscious
- There are many who like to chant the Hare Krsna mantra in a silent, solitary place, but if one is not interested in preaching, talking constantly to the nondevotees, the influence of the modes of nature is very difficult to surpass
- There is always a reaction to every kind of action, but if actions are performed for Yajna, there is no reaction. Thus if one acts for Yajna, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one is not entangled in the material condition
- This is the position of a mahatma. If one is not a mahatma, he is a duratma, or a cripple-minded person. Such mentally crippled duratmas are put under the control of the Lord's external potency, mahamaya
- This Krsna consciousness movement, sankirtana movement, is so attractive, every simple, unsophisticated person shall be attracted. But if one is not attracted it is to be understood that he is being punished by the laws of the superintendent of death
- This understanding (even if one is promoted to Brahmaloka, if one is not freed from material bondage one must return to this planet earth) is one of true intelligence, and anything contrary to this is but a cause of unhappiness
- Those who are properly trained can be considered human beings; if one is not trained socially and spiritually - that is, if one is uneducated and unregulated - his life is on the animal platform
- To instruct to a person who has no interest in hari-kirtana, that is also aparadha. So we should not be very much interested to preach Krsna consciousness if one is not very much interested
W
- We are trying to give protection to the cows, to the animals, to the trees. This is sarva-bhuta-hite ratah. If one is not devoted to Krsna, he cannot become sarva-bhuta-hite ratah. Kleso 'dhikataras tesam (BG 12.5). Simply they will suffer, that's all
- When one comes to understand that he is not the body and therefore is neither fat nor skinny, one attains the topmost form of spiritual realization. When one is not spiritually realized, the bodily conception entangles one in the material world
- Whenever one is not able to bathe in water, he can bathe by chanting the Hare Krsna mantra. One also has to perform his sandhyadi-vandana - that is, one has to chant his Gayatri mantra three times daily - morning, noon and evening
- Without this sampradaya, evam parampara, kick out on their face. All rogues and thieves. I don't care for them. Immediately kick out. If he is not coming by this parampara system, whatever he says, all nonsense
