- A devotee sometimes takes the risk of approaching nondevotee rascals even at the cost of life. The best example is your Christian religion's Lord Jesus Christ
- A Vaisnava should follow the examples of such Vaisnavas as Haridasa Thakura, Nityananda Prabhu and also Lord Jesus Christ. There is no need to kill anyone who has already been killed
- A Vaisnava, a devotee of the Lord, he always thinks of the fallen condition of general people. Just like in Christian philosophy they believe that Lord Jesus Christ suffered to be crucified by assimilating all the sinful activities of the people
- A Vaisnava, or devotee of Lord, his life is dedicated for the benefit of the people. You know - most of you belong to Christian community - how Lord Jesus Christ, he said that for your sinful activities he has sacrificed himself
- Actually we have no quarrel with them (Christian). We accept Lord Jesus Christ as the son of God and he was a great Vaishnava. Because he appeared in another country does not mean that we should not offer him respect
- Actually, one who is guided by Jesus Christ will certainly get liberation. But it is very hard to find a man who is actually being guided by Jesus Christ
- An example of a pure devotee is Lord Jesus Christ, who agreed to be mercilessly crucified rather than give up preaching on behalf of God. He was never prepared to compromise on the issue of believing in God
- Any devotee of Lord should not be blasphemed. It doesn't matter in any country. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he is a great devotee. And even Muhammad, he's also a devotee
- Anyone who is speaking about God with authority - take for example Jesus Christ; he is speaking in the western world - you accept him
- As followers of Bhagavad-gita, we admit this claim (Jesus Christ, son of God comes from the kingdom of God to reclaim conditioned souls) to be true. So basically there is no difference of opinion
F
- First qualification of sadhu is titiksavah. Titiksavah and karunikah: at the same time, kind. These two examples we find in the character of Lord Jesus Christ
- For example, Lord Jesus Christ wanted to preach amongst some persons who were practically against the principle of accepting God as the Supreme, and the result was that these people crucified him
- For example, the animal-killing. The Western people are mostly Christians. Now, Lord Jesus Christ said that "Thou shall not kill." But the result was that two thousand years passed, but the people of the Western countries, they are still killing
- For example, your Christian religion. Lord Jesus Christ says: "Thou shall not kill." But I think cent percent of the Christian people, they are very much engaged in killing. So they are, disobeying the laws of God. Don't you think
H
- He (Jesus Christ) cannot do that (kill). That is real faith in him - that he cannot do that. So why has he eaten meat? He knows, but he has asked me not to kill. I have to follow. That is the real system. You are not Jesus Christ; you cannot imitate him
- He (Jesus Christ) is so much compassionate that, "These rascals do not know what they are doing, rascals. Still, I request You to forgive them." This is Vaisnava. Personally he is suffering, but he is still compassionate
- He (Jesus) has sacrificed his life for God. Can you do that? So why shall you imitate Jesus Christ? You are imitating Jesus Christ by eating meat. Why not imitate Jesus Christ and sacrifice your life for spreading God consciousness? What do you think
- He (Jesus) is himself eating meat, but he is advising others not to kill. Do you think that Jesus Christ was contradicting himself
- He (Jesus) may eat anything. He is powerful. But he has ordered, "Thou shalt not kill. You must stop killing." He is powerful. He can eat the whole world. But you cannot compare to Jesus Christ
- He (Lord Jesus Christ) preached to the people that "There is kingdom of God. You love God, and go to the kingdom of God." Simple truth. That is the actual business of human life
- He (Lord Jesus Christ) told everyone, "Thou shalt not kill," but they are indulging in killing, thinking, "Lord Jesus Christ will excuse us and take all the sinful reactions." This is going on
- He (Lord Jesus Christ) was crucified by the nondevotees, but He sacrificed His life for spreading God consciousness. Of course, it would be superficial to understand that He was killed. BG 1972 purports
- He (Lord Jesus Christ) was threatened with death punishment. He was crucified. Still, he was convinced his relationship with God. Here is a devotee, example of devotee
- He (the spiritual master) takes responsibility for all the fallen souls. That idea is also in the Bible. Jesus Christ took all the sinful reactions of the people and sacrificed his life. That is the responsibility of a spiritual master
I
- If one is devotee, he cannot sit down silently. He wants to preach God's glories to others, even at the risk of life, like Lord Jesus Christ did it. Even at the risk of life, he preached God consciousness. That is the duty of a devotee
- If you disobey the orders of Lord Christ, how you become a Christian, first of all? Where is your Christianity? Simply by rubber-stamping "I'm Christian" you become a Christian, without following the tenets
- If you take it otherwise - "Ah, we shall go on committing all sins, & Jesus Christ will make a contract to nullify all my sins; I'll simply go to the church & confess & come back & again do all nonsense" - do you think that shows very good intelligence
- If you take the advice of great acaryas, just like Ramanujacarya, Sankaracarya and Lord Jesus Christ, everything, every man will say - Oh, there is God. There is God
- If you want to understand the Absolute Truth, then you have to follow great personalities, great devotees. Just like in the Western world, Lord Jesus Christ, you have to follow his principles
- In Bhagwatam also there is another example like Lord Jesus. He is Prahlad Maharaj a boy of five years old but because he was a great devotee of God and preaching the message of God among his little class mates, his atheist father tried to kill him
- In Christian philosophy they believe that Lord Jesus Christ suffered to be crucified by assimilating all the sinful activities of the people. Yes. A devotee of Lord thinks like that
- In India there are examples like Haridasa Thakura, Prahlada Maharaja. And the Western countries also, Lord Jesus Christ, he is saktyavesa-avatara, God's son. And he tolerated so much. These are the examples of mahatma
- In the Christian Bible also, Lord Jesus Christ was tortured, but he was not affected. This is the difference between ordinary man and the devotees, or transcendentalists
- In the Christian religion, Jesus Christ claimed to be the son of God and to be coming from the kingdom of God to reclaim conditioned souls
- In the Western country Lord Jesus Christ, he was unhappy for others. So that is the business of devotee, God's son or God's devotee
- In your country there is Lord Jesus Christ. When he was being crucified, still he was saying, "My Lord, excuse them. They do not know what they are doing." This is Vaisnava
- In your Western countries, Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed his life for God's. He was charged that he was preaching something blasphemous. But he was a devotee of God
- It is a fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is present by His words. Krsna is also present by His words
- It is not that because we are devotee and they (Lord Jesus Christ and Muhammad) are not devotee. Don't think like that. Anyone who is preaching the glories of God, he is a devotee. He should not be blasphemed. You should be careful
- It is the nature of demons to give devotees trouble, just as in the West, Lord Jesus Christ was crucified because he was preaching God consciousness
J
- Jesus Christ also preached, "Thou shall not kill," but these rascals, all violating. And still, they are proclaiming as Christian and Buddhist. No real religion will allow this kind of violence. No religion. It is cheating religion
- Jesus Christ also was killed by the sura-dvisam, those who were envious of him. What was his fault? His only fault was that he was preaching about God. Yet he had so many enemies, who cruelly crucified him. Therefore Krsna comes to kill such sura-dvisam
- Jesus Christ and Muhammad, two powerful devotees of the Lord, have done tremendous service on behalf of the Lord on the surface of the globe
- Jesus Christ is powerful; he can do everything. But we cannot imitate; we have to simply abide by his order. That is real Christianity. We cannot imitate a powerful man. That is wrong
- Jesus Christ relieved only his followers from all sinful reactions, but Vasudeva Datta is prepared to accept the sins of everyone in the universe. So the comparative position of Vasudeva Datta is millions of times better than that of Lord Jesus Christ
- Jesus Christ was perfect, but because you are rascals, you could not understand even his one word: Thou shall not kill. He had to deal with rascals like you. Even the ordinary moral principles you could not, what to speak of other things
- Jesus Christ was so badly treated, and still he was thinking, "Father, they do not know what they are doing. Please excuse." This is suhrdah. He is praying to God. This is sadhu, mahatma
- Jesus Christ, what fault he had? He was preaching about God, and he was crucified. That is in your country a very good example
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ, Vaisnava. For others' suffering he agreed to be crucified. But the followers are so unfaithful, they have settled up that "Let Christ suffer for us, and let us go on committing sin." Very good conclusion
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ. He was so badly treated, and still he was thinking, "Father, they do not know what they are doing. Please excuse." This is suhrdah. He is praying to God. This is sadhu, mahatma
- Just like Nityananda Prabhu took all risk, Lord Jesus Christ took all risk. Therefore a devotee is more kind than God. A devotee is more merciful than God Himself. We should always remember this
L
- Lord Jesus Christ also advised, "Those who are meek, the kingdom of God is for them." Is it not? So that's very nice qualification, to become humble and meek. Don't try to imitate falsely, "I am God." That is simply rascaldom
- Lord Jesus Christ also, he taught like that - "The humble and meek will attain the kingdom of God." Is it not said like that
- Lord Jesus Christ certainly finished the sinful reactions of his followers by his mercy, but that does not mean he completely delivered them from the pangs of material existence
- Lord Jesus Christ had some enemies, and Mahatma Gandhi had also some enemies so who killed him. So the world is such treacherous, even a sadhu, he has some enemies. You see
- Lord Jesus Christ is a saktyavesa Avatara, an empowered living entity or jiva. In order to attain such a position one must be pure, so in this sense Lord Jesus Christ was a pure devotee
- Lord Jesus Christ is so tolerant that he was crucified; still, he did not curse anybody. This is sadhu: titiksavah, tolerant. The very great example of tolerance, Christ, Jesus Christ
- Lord Jesus Christ is so tolerant that he was crucified; still, he did not curse anybody. This is sadhu: titiksavah, tolerant. The very great example of tolerance, Jesus Christ
- Lord Jesus Christ said that for your (people of Christian community) sinful activities he has sacrificed himself. That is the determination of devotee of the Lord. They don't care for personal comforts
- Lord Jesus Christ taught like that: If you lose your soul and gain the whole world, what do you gain? People do not know what they are, and yet they work just like madmen
- Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, Haridasa Thakura was caned in twenty-two marketplaces
- Lord Jesus Christ, he also preached the sense of God, or Krsna consciousness. It is the duty of devotee. It is the duty of good son of God, but those who are in the lower status, they have not developed such consciousness
- Lord Jesus Christ, he's also devotee of Lord. Muhammad, he's also devotee of Lord. So it is not that because we are Krsna conscious, we shall unnecessarily decry any other parts, any other devotee
- Lord Jesus Christ, when he was being crucified, he was requesting God, "My Lord, please excuse them. They do not know what they are doing." This is the position of the devotee. Yes
- Lord Jesus Christ, when twelve years old, was shocked to see the Jews sacrificing birds and animals in the synagogues and that he therefore rejected the Jewish system of religion
N
- Never be disappointed because people are not responding. You see? There are many good examples. When Lord Jesus Christ also preached God consciousness, only a few followers were there, & still, he had to sacrifice his life. But he was never disappointed
- Nobody is being guided by Jesus Christ. Their claim is false. It is very hard to find a man who is actually being guided by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's guidance is available, but nobody is caring for him
O
- One must be very merciful. Vaisnavas, they are merciful. All devotees of God, Vaisnava, they are merciful. You know Lord Jesus Christ, how he was merciful
- One who has got unflinching faith in God, he has got all the good qualification of the demigods. There are many examples. Just see. You are mostly Christian; you know Lord Jesus Christ
S
- Several times I have given you this example: especially Lord Jesus Christ, he was not fearful. When he was punished to be crucified, he never cared for it
- Srila Vasudeva Datta wanted to completely relieve the conditioned souls from material existence so that they would no longer have an opportunity to commit sinful acts. This is the significant difference between Srila Vasudeva Datta and Lord Jesus Christ
T
- That is devotee's qualification. He prays for everyone, even of his enemy. And he could not be killed. That he knew. But those rascals, they thought they were killing Jesus Christ. That's all
- The example is given that the sunshine is soaking urine. Can you imitate that, you drink urine? If Christ has done something, he is Lord Jesus Christ, he might have done it for some purpose, but we cannot follow that. We have to follow what he has ordered
- The first-class example of toleration in the Western country: Lord Jesus Christ. He was being crucified; still, he did not take any steps
- There are many examples in history of devotees of the Lord risking their lives for the spreading of God consciousness. The favorite example is Lord Jesus Christ. BG 1972 purports
- There are many passages in the Gospel which are later on set up to be spoken by Lord Jesus Christ, but actually they were manufactured by different devotees. So far as our Bhagavad Gita is concerned, we do not find any such thing
- There is a book called Aquarian Gospel in which it is stated that Lord Jesus Christ lived in the temple of Jagannath. Without being His devotee, how could he live there and how the authorities could allow a non-devotee to live there
- These (Lord Jesus Christ, Thakura Haridasa and Prahlada Maharaja) are some examples of renowned devotees of the Lord, and we should simply try to understand how dear such devotees are to Him
- These personalities (Krsna and Jesus Christ), either God or the son of God, who come from the transcendental world, keep their transcendental identities without being contaminated by the material world. That is their omnipotence
- They give some false argument, "Lord Christ says, 'Thou shall not kill' and if I kill, Christ has taken the contract that whatever sinful activities we do, he will excuse." This is Christian dogma
- They have let Jesus Christ make a contract for taking all their sinful reactions so they can go on with all nonsense. That is their religion
- They have no sympathy for Jesus Christ. He died for our sins. Why should we commit sins again? Such a great life has been sacrificed for our sins, so we should be guided by Jesus Christ
- They have taken Jesus Christ as contractor to take up their sins. That is their philosophy. They commit all kinds of sins, and poor Jesus Christ will be responsible. That is their religion
- They say, "We have a very good religion. For all our sinful activities, Jesus Christ will die." So is that good religion
- They should have been ashamed: - Lord Jesus Christ suffered for us, but we are continuing the sinful activities
- They were not intelligent to understand how the creation took place. Had they been intelligent, they would not have crucified such a great personality like Jesus Christ
- This (meeting difficulties while engaged in preaching) was exhibited by Lord Nityananda when He delivered the two fallen souls Jagai and Madhai, and similarly Lord Jesus Christ was crucified by the nonbelievers
- This is Vaisnava's qualification. He is very kind. Titiksavah karunikah. (SB 3.25.21). Just like Lord Jesus Christ. He was being crucified. Still, he was saying, "My father, they do not know what they are doing." Is it not
- This is Vaisnava: "So for all their sins, I shall suffer. You take them." This philosophy is also expressed in Bible, Lord Jesus Christ, that he agreed to suffer himself for the sins of all the people
- This material world is so nuisance place that . . . just you have got a very nice example: just like Lord Jesus Christ. So what was his fault? But the sura-dvisam, the envious person, killed him
- This temple worship or accepting some authority, either you accept Krsna or you accept Lord Jesus Christ or Jehovah or Lord Buddha or Guru Nanak, that is a different, I mean to say, kinds of faith, but this acceptance of authority is there in everywhere
V
- Vaisnava - para-duhkha-duhkhi. They're very much afflicted with others', miserable life. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he presented himself as very much afflicted with others' miserable condition of life
- Vaisnava is meant for delivering all the fallen souls. Just like a very good example: Lord Jesus Christ. According to the Christian idea, he took all the sins of all people and he sacrificed his life

W
- We accept Lord Jesus Christ as the son of God and he was a great Vaisnava
- We find Sri Vasudeva Datta Thakura and Srila Haridasa Thakura to be many millions of times more advanced even when compared with Lord Jesus Christ
- When the Bible has said that after death one goes to hell or heaven, if Jesus Christ has taken a contract, then where is the question of going to hell
- Why Lord Jesus Christ was able to forgive them? Because he was engaged in God's service. Therefore he was able. So it is such a thing
- Without being devotee a man will become cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel, in this way go to hell. And devotee cannot tolerate. We have studied in the life of Lord Jesus Christ
Y
- Yes (Lord Jesus was in pure KC). He also taught about God. KC means God consciousness. So why Jesus? Anyone speaks . . . but one must know. There are degrees. Somebody knows to some extent, other knows to some extent
- You are mostly Christian, you know. Lord Jesus Christ, when he was being crucified, he was begging, "My Lord, these fools do not know what they are doing. Please excuse." Just see how much qualified. Because he is devotee of God
- You cannot imitate Jesus Christ; you have to abide by his order. Then you are guided by Jesus Christ. That is actually obedience. That is explained in the Bhagavata. One who is isvara, who is empowered, can do anything, but we cannot imitate
- You have got ideal, Lord Jesus Christ. Susilah sadhavah narayana . . . Why? Narayana-parayanah: because they are devotee of Narayana
- You have such a poor brain that you could not follow even ordinary moral instruction of Jesus Christ
- You know - most of you belong to Christian community - how Lord Jesus Christ, he said that for your sinful activities he has sacrificed himself. That is the determination of devotee of the Lord. They don't care for personal comforts
- You try to trace out the history of the world, you'll find always persons who are for Krsna or God, they have been persecuted. Jesus Christ was crucified; Haridasa Thakura was caned in twenty-two marketplaces; Prahlada Maharaja was tortured by his father
