- A big body, lump body, which is some million times greater than this earth, we can see it is floating in the sky. So how it is floating? Here it is explained, sarvasraya. It is floating on Krsna's energy. Everything is Krsna's energy
- A big lawyer means who is quite aware of the laws of the state. Similarly, a religious person means who knows completely, at least - partially also - the laws of God. That is dharmic. That is dharma
- A big scientist or a big medical practitioner, he reads scientific magazines, a scientist. A medical man, a doctor, physician, he reads medical journals. He does not waste his time in big, big chat-chat in the newspaper. He has no time
- A boy here, because he is Australian, you are thinking more intimate relationship with him, and because I am Indian, you may not think more . . . in such intimacy. Because bodily connection is there. But Krsna said - This is not very intelligent knowledge
- A boy is born in a brahmin family, but unless he's educated, unless he's purified, he cannot be allowed to perform the sacrificial rites. That means he's dependent on these other processes
- A boy is born of a medical practitioner, he has got greater chance of becoming, becoming a medical student, medical practitioners. But simply by getting birth as a son of medical practitioner is not sufficient. He has to take education
- A boy is given to a carpenter. He learns very easily. A weaver, he learns very easily. A shopkeeper, grocer, he learns very easily. That is education. Why he should waste time for academic education and create unemployment

- A brahmacari should dress like that. And that is very economical. Our dress is saffron dress. It does not become dirty very quickly
- A brahmacari should live in the gurukula for the following purposes. The first is that he should be trained up how to control the senses. So that, if you teach any child from the childhood, he'll be trained up
- A brahmacari should not eat anything except prasadam, that also when he is called by the spiritual master, - You can come and eat
- A brahmin is brahmin. A ksatriya is ksatriya. Vaisya is vaisya. That is real understanding. If you say: "Everyone is brahmana," that's not good
- A brahmin is truthful, and he's controlling the mind, he's controlling the senses. Samo dama titiksa: he's tolerant, and arjavam, he's very simple. Life is very simple
- A businessman, he cannot become strictly truthful. That is not possible. A politician, he cannot become actually truthful. Then the whole business will be spoiled
- A child can see also the sunshine, but that does not mean he knows what is the sun, although the sunshine is coming from the sun. So unless you understand what is the actual sun, what is the person within the sun globe, our knowledge is imperfect
- A child goes to capture a fire because his consciousness is not developed. But that does not mean the child has no consciousness or the child has no soul. Just like some rascal says - The animals, they have no soul
- A child or a boy wants to know who is his father. So what is the evidence? That evidence is sruti, hearing, from the mother. Mother says, "He is your father." So he hears; he does not see how he became his father
- A child or a man, you weigh him. When he's alive you will find one weight, and when he's dead you will find another weight. That is practical. It will be heavier. Why heavier? Because there is no more spirit soul

- A code word requires explanation. Just like in business circle there is Bentley's code. So for business facility, for saving expenditure, the telegraphic codes are there. So one who does not know what is this code, but he can refer to the book
- A crazy fellow goes to the psychiatrist and he talks with him; gradually, he cures him - similarly, these living entity, if they associate with devotees and they constantly talk and hear about God, then again he revives his God consciousness
- A devotee does not enjoy anything or suffer anything, because a devotee does everything for Krsna. So therefore for his personal self, there is no question of karma-phala
- A devotee does not live either in hell or heaven, he lives in Vaikuntha always. He doesn't care for hell and heaven
- A devotee does not want even salvation. Why Lord Caitanya says: "birth after birth"? The salvationists, they want to stop; the voidists, they want to stop this material way of life
- A devotee has no distinction whether it is heaven or hell, because Krsna is with him either in heaven or hell. So where there is Krsna, there is no question of hell; it is Vaikuntha
- A devotee is akama, there is no kama. He has no personal desires. His desire is only to remain eternal servant of God. That's all. That is his position. That is not desire. That is his actual position
- A devotee is always anxious to see God, but He (Caitanya) said that - I am not qualified. So even I become broken-hearted not seeing God, still Krsna is My Lord. I may see, or may not see. That is His mercy
- A devotee is naturally very good man, but when he acts just like a bad man on behalf of Krsna, he does not fall down. He still remains a pure devotee
- A devotee is neither ksatriya, neither brahmana; he's servant of Krsna, that's all. These "brahmana," "ksatriya," "vaisya," "sudra," they are on the material platform
- A devotee is not allured by any of the opulences of this material world. They are not interested. They are interested to transfer themselves in the spiritual world where, it is stated in the BG, yad gatva na nivartante tad dhama paramam mama - BG 15.6
- A devotee knows that all these wonderful things which are happening, behind this thing there is Krsna. And Krsna says - we believe that
- A devotee means one who has dedicated his body, mind and words for Krsna. That is the test of devotee, whether he has engaged these three things to the service of the Lord
- A devotee understands what is what, and he does according to the direction of God. Therefore he is demigod. And the demons will never agree. That is the difference
- A devotee's always servant of God. Whatever service is required, as a brahmin, as a ksatriya, as a vaisya, it doesn't matter. We are ready
- A devotee, either you live or die, the same thing. - Why? "You are living, you are serving Krsna. When you die, you go to serve Krsna. That's all." Jivo va maro va. Therefore they are called jivan-mukta
- A devotee, even if he falls down by chance . . . there is every possibility of falling down, because maya is very strong. And it is a fight against maya
- A dhira knows that he is changing his body; he is not dying. He will get another body. Dhira, sober. And one who is not sober, he says: "No, life is finished." Or he can imagine he is going to heaven or hell
- A diseased man, he cannot imitate the healthy man. A healthy man eats as he likes, but a diseased man, if he eats as he likes, he'll die. Death is sure. So he has to be restricted, not the healthy man
- A diseased man, he cannot say, "I am perfect in health." That is not possible. Similarly, if we are defective in so many ways, and if I want to become teacher or preacher to give you the truth, then how can I give? This is not possible
- A diseased man, he is also eating, and the healthy man is eating. But he is having bitter taste. A man with jaundice, if you give him sugar candy, he will taste as bitter
- A diseased man, if you give a nice foodstuff, he cannot eat much. After tasting, "All right, that's all." Finished. Because he is diseased. And give to a healthy man, oh, he will take so much. This is a crude example
- A diseased man, when he gets back his healthy life, he becomes very happy. Similarly, as soon as we become freed from this designation life, we come to the real life of spiritual life
- A diseased man: he is also eating, he is also sleeping, he is also having other duties; but that he is eating, sleeping, and the healthy man's eating, sleeping is not the same thing
- A diseased person, he has to be brought into the healthy condition of life, to cure the disease. So just a man, when he's diseased and when he's healthy, from external feature, the same
- A doctor, medical man. He diagnoses according to the symptom. He finds out the cause. So symptom is required, not that a man has become diseased or healthy by birth. No
- A dog cannot live independently. He must have a master. Then he is happy. Is it not? Otherwise it is street dog
- A dog is afraid whether another dog is coming, so the so-called civilized men, they are also afraid - "Whether Englishmen are coming to attack? Whether Germany . . .? Therefore there must be atomic bomb. I shall throw. Therefore you must give me tax."
- A dog is also becoming a father. The such kind of father-becoming is not recommended in the Vedic civilization. Just become a real father to give the real benefit to the son. Then you become a father. This is called varnasrama-dharma
- A dog is never happy without a master. Then it is a street dog. That is the difference between household dog and a street dog
- A dog is running from this side to that side. So he's feeling some pleasure. Similarly, we also, so-called civilized man, we are also running on a car, this side and this side. You see? So the same thing - the dog's race
- A dog is thinking, "I am very strong dog. I am this." And another man - "I am Englishman. I am . . ." So what is the difference? Mentality is the same
- A dog must find out a nice master. Otherwise it is a street dog; its condition is not very good. Similarly, a sudra means he must have a nice paying master. Otherwise his life is at risk
- A dog or a cat or a cow, if he crosses the road right or left, it is not subject to the law. Therefore all laws, all scriptures, all regulation - everything - is meant for the human being, not for the cats and dogs
- A dog thinks that he is the body. He cannot think that he is not the body, he is the soul. That is not possible. Because he is born, he is entrapped in such a body, they cannot think that the animal, the cat and dog, is different from the body
- A dog, unless it has got a nice master, it is street dog. A street dog. It has no value. Anyone can kill, and it has no shelter, loitering in the street
- A drop of seawater is as good as the seawater in quality - the whole seawater is also salty, the drop of seawater is also salty - similarly, we have got all the chemical composition, or qualities, of God. Now, God is eternal; therefore we must be eternal
- A family man is responsible. Because he has got responsibility to maintain the wife, children, therefore he works hard. That is impetus. So love is there. Unless there is love, you cannot work
- A father is generally, even though he's personally a bad man, he's still, he's kind, merciful to the son. That he is, actually
- A female child - by evolution, means when she gets another body, youthful body, her consciousness is different. If you get the body of a pig, your consciousness is different from the consciousness of a man
- A fighting soldier is honored by the government. He maybe dies, he is recognized by the government, "Here is a soldier, laid down his life by fighting." So we prefer that life. We shall die fighting with maya

- A frog lives in a well, three feet, that's all. So if he's informed that there is Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, he becomes surprised - "How is that? What is that Pacific Ocean?" he will ask. He will try to measure Pacific Ocean from the well
- A God conscious person cannot be neglectful or envious to anyone. That is the test. Sarvair gunais tatra samasate surah - SB 5.18.12
- A God conscious person has no discrimination between human being and animal or trees or plants, because they are also living entities
- A great commander can also become bhagavata, a great merchant can become also bhagavata, and a great Brahmin, learned scholar, he can also become bhagavata. There is no restriction
- A great man, if you give him little service, he rewards you more than you expect. And what to speak of Krsna? He is the greatest of all. If you give Him little service, He gives you more than you expect. That is a fact
- A guru does not mean that he has taken shelter of somebody else and he has become guru
- A guru should not become a guru, a father should not become a father, a mother should not become a mother, nobody should become relatives, kinsmen, if one cannot save his son, his disciple, his friend from the imminent danger of birth and death
- A healthy man is engaged in healthy activities, and the diseased man is engaged in diseased activities. The diseased man is also lying down, and the healthy man is also lying down. There is vast of difference
- A healthy man, he thinks, "I am enjoying," but he does not see that even he is now healthy, he will be an old man, he will be attacked with disease, he will die, and still he thinks, - I am healthy
- A healthy man, if he is in the society of contamination, is it not his life is very risky? He may be contaminated and infected by disease any moment
- A hog is eating stool. He's enjoying the pleasure of eating. And a human being eating very nice palatable food, he's also enjoying the same pleasure. There is no difference
- A human being is distinguished from the animal when he enquires about transcendence. And that is explained in the great literature Brahma-sutra, or the philosophy of Vedanta-sutra, athato brahma jijnasa
- A human being, if he does not come on the spiritual platform, he remains animal. That is the difference. Therefore Bhagavad-gita, you will find the first beginning of teaching - dehino 'smin yatha dehe
- A Krsna conscious person doesn't imagine anything. Krsna says that He is the greater than the greatest, we accept it; we don't imagine

- A little scratching of nail again means three, four days so much suffering. So you cannot violate. That is breaking the laws of nature, breaking the laws of God. That is sinful. Either you take it as disease or sinful activities or whatever you call
- A living entity is never born or never dies. What is this birth and death? This is the change of the body
- A mad man, he's not so harmful. Sometimes he becomes naked and goes to the street and talks nonsense. That much
- A man cannot do that (immediately pounce upon any animal and kills and eat); but his teeth is different, he has no nails; therefore he has to kill animal in different way, by slaughterhouse. So he is worse than animal
- A man has fallen in the blind well, and he's crying, "Save me! Save me!" and when somebody comes and gives him a rope - "You catch it. I shall lift you" - but he'll not touch it, then who can save him
- A man has fallen in the dark well, crying. You give him one rope: "Catch it." But he'll not catch. Then how you can deliver? Let him suffer
- A man in his healthy condition, he is happy, but in his diseased condition he is not happy, similarly, we, being part and parcel of the Supreme, we are naturally jubilant, but on account of being contacted in material nature, we are morose
- A man is born out of his father and mother, so He has to take His birth from a father and mother. So these fathers and mothers are first sent. I think in the Bible they call messiahs, or what you have?

- A man may be director of this company and trust of that company and so many where he is working. But his wife is seeing that he is her husband, that's all. He does not see anything, although he is working in aneka-rupam
- A man may have very good brain power, organization, but if he has no money - useless. So four things required: land, labor, capital, organization
- A man may question, "How it has become prasadam? It is bhata, rice." No. Because it is offered to Krsna, therefore it has changed its quality from inferior to superior

- A man, he becomes irresponsible. He says: "I don't care for government or law. I can do whatever I like." That means he's risking his life
- A man, sleeping, but he is not sleeping. He's awakened. But a man is calling, "Mr. Such-and-such, wake up, wake up." But he's as if sleeping. So people who do not want to realize, there is no realization. Otherwise, it is very simple

- A simple truth, Krsna is explaining to Arjuna. It is authoritative statement because Krsna says
- A small child can become maha-bhagavata, and a very learned scholar may become a demon. Bhakti is so exalted that these are contradictory

- A soldier, he's also patriot, and another man is patriot. But the soldier who goes to fight forward for the state, his service is greater than this man, because he has to face so many dangers for the country

- A spiritual master is honored. Not only honored - in the sastra it is said, navamanyeta karhicit. The spiritual master should not be, taken as ordinary human being
- A spiritual master should not be accepted as a matter of fashion. Somebody thinks that, "Everyone gets a spiritual master, so I may also have some spiritual master." Or - I may keep some spiritual master as my pet

- Anyone who is speaking about God with authority - take for example Jesus Christ; he is speaking in the western world - you accept him
- Anyone who is thinking, "I am this body," he's a rascal. He's an animal. Sa eva go-kharah. This is Bhagavata, practical analysis
- Anyone who is trying to divert people's attention from Krsna to non-Krsna . . . that is the business of the modern so-called philosophers and educationists or religionists
- Anyone who is trying to study religion and God, they should try to understand our philosophy, this Krsna consciousness
- Anyone who is trying to understand the Absolute Truth by direct perception, he can rise up to the impersonal Brahman understanding, not more than that
- Anyone who is very much sensuous, very much attached to sense gratification, they are called demon
- Anyone who offers Me (Krsna) a little fruit, a little water, and little leaf, oh, I accept." Tad aham asnami, bhakty-upahrtam - Because he has brought with the devotional love, I accept it
- Anyone who thinks like that (to be on equal level with God), they are imperfect knowledge. That is not perfect knowledge. They have been described as avisuddha-buddhayah, imperfect knowledge. Buddhi means intelligence. They have no intelligence
- Anyone who thinks that, "I am chanting Hare Krsna mantra, so I am becoming free from contamination of sinful life; therefore let me commit sinful life and counteract it by chanting Hare Krsna," this is the greatest offense
- Anyone who understands Krsna factually, the result is tyaktva deham, giving up this body, he never accepts again material body. He goes back to home, back to Godhead
- Anyone who understands this philosophy that, "I am servant's servant's servant's servant, hundred times, million times lower servant," he is a liberated person
- Anyone who was killed, who died in the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, in the presence of Krsna, they all attained their original, constitutional position, spiritual form. They all went back to home, back to Godhead, everyone
- Anyone who will give aural reception to this message - first of all Bhagavad-gita, entrance, then Bhagavatam, then Caitanya-caritamrta, like books - then gradually he'll be self-realized, fully cognizant what is God
- Anyone who will stop chanting, he will be a victim of maya. Always remember it. Therefore we insist, "Please do not forget to chant at least sixteen rounds." That is minimum. The maximum is 300,000
- Anyone, any politician, any gentleman knows what was the cause (of two great wars). The cause was Germany is always envious of England
- Anyone, even up to date, who is trying to help the propagation of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission, preach this sankirtana movement all over the world, he is also associate of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. They are not ordinary human being
- Anyone, if he goes to hell or heaven, then why do you say "one life"? Then another life. Otherwise what is the meaning of going to heaven or hell
- Anyone, newcomer, give him very nice place, nice food. Food and shelter is the first consideration
- Anyone, you will find somebody lower than him and higher than him. But nobody can say that, "I am the supreme." That is not possible
- Anything spiritual, spiritual identity, spiritual God, spiritual kingdom, you have to learn simply by hearing from authorities. There is no other process. There is no other, second process. Simply you have to hear
- Anything which does not help me in serving Krsna, if we give it up, and anything which helps me to serve Krsna, if we accept, in that way if we live, then gradually we become situated in our original constitutional position, eternal servant of God
- Anything which does not speak in terms of the Vedic formula, we do not accept such knowledge as valid
- Anything which is accepted by leading men, that is accepted by others. - So you are one of the leading men in the society, lawyer. If you understand our philosophy, then many others will follow
- Anywhere we are going, beginning from old man to child, everyone chants Hare Krsna. Therefore it is recommended. Our intelligence should be applied there, that what is recommended in the Vedas, that is perfect
- Anywhere you go in the material planet, either by Sputniks or by your tapasya or by meditation, a-brahma-bhuvanal lokah (BG 8.16), even if you go to the highest planet, there the four principles of material miseries are there
- Anywhere you go within this material world, either the moon planet or sun planet or Brahmaloka, Krsna says, abrahma-bhuvanal lokah punar avartino 'rjuna (BG 8.16). Even if you go to the Brahmaloka, that is also not permanent settlement
- Anywhere you go, all over the world, the division is already, because there are three qualities of nature, and any man you find, he must be under one quality. So according to that quality, he is divided as a brahmin, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra
- Anywhere, hell or heaven, it doesn't matter. You induce people to chant. This is the sum and substance of devotee
- Apani acari' prabhu jive sikhaila. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He did so. The whole human civilization is on a risky platform
- Apart from other laws of nature, I become hungry; I require to eat something. I require to sleep. I require to have some sense gratification. So these are laws of nature
- Apart from spiritual division - brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa - the social division must be observed. The brain must be there, brahmana
- Apart from sun planet, if we take this teeny earthly planet, on which we are living, there are so many oceans, so many mountains, skyscraper building and if you go above this planet a few thousand miles, oh, you will see just like a spot, this big planet
- Are the whole situation is not full of rascals? They do not know. They are accepting unhappiness as happiness. This is called maya. Maya-mohita-jiva. And you cannot get out of this illusion and mistakes unless you surrender to Krsna
- Are we wasting our time by decorating a doll, a statue, and we are struggling so hard to establish a temple of Krsna? No
- Are you independent, anyone? Everyone is servant. He's serving his senses. That's all. He's servant. He's never master. But he has become the servant of maya or senses. That's all
- Arjuna accepted Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, param brahma param dhama (BG 10.12). So if we follow Arjuna then we can understand Bhagavad-gita very easily. So we should not waste
- Arjuna and his brother. His brother . . . eldest brother Maharaja Yudhisthira, he was very moralist, Dharmaraja. His name was "The king of religious principles," Dharmaraja
- Arjuna and Krsna was talking. That is another thing. But when Arjuna submitted and Krsna instructed him, that is serious
- Arjuna did not accept Krsna blindly. He knew, but for our sake he gave so many arguments. At last, he accepted. So we have to follow Arjuna
- Arjuna did not ask him (Dronacarya). Arjuna was satisfied with Krsna. That's all. Krsna also divided Himself, because it is family quarrel
- Arjuna did not like to kill his brothers, but Krsna said that "This is My desire." "All right, I shall kill." This is krsna-bhakti. When Krsna says, we can do everything, not for our personal self
- Arjuna directly listened to Krsna, and he says, "This is my practical experience, that when I. . ." He was a politician, I mean to say, a fighter. He had so many anxieties. So he used to remember the instruction given by Krsna directly to him
- Arjuna heard from Krsna about Himself, and he agreed. So He is accepted by the direct disciple, Arjuna; He is accepted by Vyasadeva; He is accepted by Narada Muni
- Arjuna is a great warrior. He could fight all the soldiers, all the fighting men, yuyutsu. The other party, they were also, they were assembled, yuyutsu, with fighting spirit
- Arjuna is encouraged, because Arjuna was thinking in the terms of material calculation. Just like Gandhi introduced this nonviolence. That is material calculation
- Arjuna is fighting. That is also Krsna consciousness. Yudhyasva mam anusmara (BG 8.7). Krsna said that - You chant. You remember Me. At the same time, fight
- Arjuna is not a fool. He said: "Whatever You have said, I accept them as truth." That is real understanding
- Arjuna is now perplexed, "Whether I shall fight or not fight?" That is also everywhere. When there is declaration of war between the modern politicians, they consider . . . just like in the last, Second World War, when Hitler was preparing for war
- Arjuna is surrendered soul. When he felt that temperature of brahmastra or radiation of the atomic weapon, nuclear weapon . . . So devotee has no other . . . Krsna krsna maha-baho bhaktanam abhayankara (SB 1.7.22) - Our only shelter is Your lotus feet
- Arjuna never requested Krsna that "My dear Krsna, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and we are in so much difficulties. You cannot give us relief?" No, you will never find
- Arjuna thought, "Now this is the opportunity. I shall go and ask Duryodhana to give me those arrows." So Arjuna went to the other camp, and immediately Duryodhana received him as his brother
- Arjuna took compassion that, "I don't want victory. Better not to fight." So that is the cause of describing the science of Bhagavad-gita before Arjuna, just to induce him to act as a dutiful soldier. This is the background of Bhagavad-gita
- Arjuna wanted, "Don't induce me." And Krsna did not like that. "You are speaking like non-Aryan." Kutas te kasmalam idam (BG 2.2). Anarya-justam. "This kind of words are spoken by the non-Aryans." He was accused of being non-Aryan. Anarya
- Arjuna was a family man, grhastha, a politician. He was not a Vedanti. He was not a big scholar in Vedanta. Ksatriya. He knew how to fight, how to fight with enemies. This much qualification he had
- Arjuna was a grhastha, householder, and a politician and a soldier. Why Bhagavad-gita was instructed to him? That is natural. He was not a vedanti. He was not a brahmin. He was not a sannyasi
- Arjuna was hesitating to fight in bodily relationship. He was thinking that he is this body; his other side, the relatives, brothers or nephews or grandfather, the other side, they are also the bodies
- Arjuna was hesitating to fight, "How can I kill my nephew, my brother, my grandfather," and so on, so on. So Krsna was instructing him that, - It is your duty. As a ksatriya, when there is battle, you should fight. You should not deviate from your duty
- Arjuna was little flickering, he showed his little weakness, and he was at once condemned as non-Aryan, "Oh, you are just showing your symptom of a non-Aryan." You see. And by Krsna
- Arjuna was not willing to fight to satisfy his senses. He thought that - If I do not kill my brother or nephews or my grandfather or my teacher, the other side, that will make me happy. If they are killed, then where is my happiness?
- Arjuna was reputed as a great warrior. So he should remain a great warrior. A warrior's business is not to stop fighting on the plea of becoming kind
- Arjuna was speaking like ordinary gentleman on the material field, but Krsna, when He took up his charge, He said that - You are hovering over the material plane. That is not your learning. The learning is when you understand from the spiritual platform
- Arjuna was sympathetic with his brothers and relatives, and he was practically crying, with tears in his eyes, and Krsna said that it is non-Aryan. It is not befitting for an Aryan
- Arjuna was thinking only in terms of this body. "He is my grandfather. He is my brother. He is my countryman. He is my this." Why? Because they have got some bodily relation
- Arjuna went to the camp of Duryodhana, and he was well received. - Well, Arjuna, come on. What do you want? Come on. Sit down. Do you want anything from me? If you want, I can stop this fight
- Arjuna's desire was not to fight, but Krsna's desire was to fight - just the opposite. Arjuna ultimately agreed to Krsna's desire: "Yes," karisye vacanam tava (BG 18.73): "Yes, I will act according to Your desire." That is bhakti
- Arjuna's mother name was Prtha, therefore Arjuna is addressed sometimes as Partha. Partha means "son of Kunti," in relationship with his mother's name
- Arjuna, a personal friend of Krsna, he was in difficulty - there was a fight between him and his brothers. So this world is full of difficulties. But the devotee, when he's in difficulty, he does not express it
- Arjuna, five thousand years ago, he was given lesson about this, that "You are not this body, you are soul." The same problem is now also for the foolish person, because he will always remain in the world, and the intelligent man is to teach him
- Arjuna, when he understood BG, he declared that "to understand Your personality. It is very, very difficult." And he has accepted Him as person, purusam sasvatam, "You are eternally person." These things are there. The real understanding is there
- Arjuna, you are being carried away by your material affection, and you are hesitating to execute your duty. This is not good. - Anarya-justam - This is befitting for the anarya, non-Aryan
- Arrangement is there. If you remain in sattva-guna, then you get higher form of life. Nature's law is so perfect that it hasn't got to create; it is automatically
- Artificial intoxication, forgetting his present. Just like sleeping, one forgets, and he becomes a God. Oh, it is very dangerous theory. And this is going on
- Artificially do not try to become equal with men. That is not allowed in the Vedic sastra. Na striyam svatantratam arhati (Manu-samhita). That is called sastra
- Arya means the person who has got godly qualification. This is the meaning of Aryan. Aryan, advanced. Aryan does not mean godless society. They are non-Aryans
- Arya-samaj means one who knows his duty, how to do it in proper time. So ksatriya, his duty is to fight, to defend from the hands of the enemy. So he was declining to fight, so He chastised him, - Non-Aryans. You are not Aryan
- Arya-samajis are strictly forbidden to go to the temple
- Aryan civilization means this Vedic civilization. Just like Arjuna, a ksatriya, belonged to the Aryan civilization, and because he was denying to fight, Krsna accused him, "Oh, this is just like non-Aryans." Anarya-justam, non-Aryans
- Aryan means advanced in knowledge. He's called Aryan. And anarya means uncivilized. So immediately He (Krsna) rebukes him, anarya-justam - You are talking just like non-Aryan, uncivilized person
- Aryans means those who are advanced. Non-Aryans means those who are not, this is the Sanskrit meaning, arya. Aryans are divided into four castes
- As a human being if he lives like cats and dogs, he'll never be happy. Because there is no happiness, therefore he takes these drugs, to forget. This is the drug philosophy
- As a medical practitioner, so why you take this disease as bad or that disease as good? Your business is to see that there should be no disease
- As a medical practitioner, you should not say that this disease is horrible; that disease is very nice. You cannot say that. - That was between them - Colonel Megar and Dr. Ghosh
- As all our Godbrothers are doing. They have got a little temple, and a few devotees go and beg rice and cook it, and eat and sleep, that's all. No fighting spirit
- As Australian, you have one interest. So individuality cannot be killed. That is not possible. You are all individual. But when you make your interest one, then you merge into that thing
- As Caitanya Mahaprabhu did (organized Sankirtana Movement), we can follow. We are not doing anything harm to the people; we are actually giving the highest benediction to the human life
- As for the diseased person, there is a hospital, there is operation is going on, so many severe things are going on, similarly, for the criminal there is prison department
- As friend, He (God) is living with the soul as Supersoul. That is stated in the Vedas, that two birds are sitting on the same tree
- As God is full of joy, similarly, we are also part and parcel of God; we are also full of joy. So we have to treat ourself how to go that platform of joyfulness
- As he is changing different types of body during this duration of life, similarly, after this annihilation of this body, just like old garment or old shirt cannot be used - it is thrown away; another new shirt is taken - the soul accepts another body
- As I advance in my spiritual life, I'll see, "Here is Krsna." It is not the doll Krsna. Doll Krsna is for the kanistha-adhikari. But one who is advanced, he sees Krsna
- As I am getting one body after another, baby's body, then another body, child's body, then another body, boy's body, you may say: "It is growing." Growing or not growing, it is another body
- As I and you enter in our body, similarly, vistabhya aham, Krsna says He enters within this material world. Therefore the creation takes place, it grows, it gives off so many by-products, and then again there will be destruction
- As I described the other day that there are twelve authorities. Out of them, Sukadeva Gosvami himself is one of the authorities. But still, he is citing the authority of Krsna. That is the way of presenting things
- As I have read the literature of this Unitarian Church, in one place he has denied authority, and in another place he has quoted so many authorities. Why? If you deny authority, then why you quote other authority? So you cannot defy authority
- As in government offices or state, there are so many departmental management, similarly, in God's government there must be so many directors, so many officers. They are called demigods. Devarsi-bhutapta-nrnam pitṟnam - SB 11.5.41
- As in the family - the father is one, the children are many, say ten - if the children are very obedient to the father, then that family is very nice
- As in the material world there are varieties, similarly in the spiritual world also there are varieties; but those varieties are of the same quality, spiritual quality. That is called one. That is oneness
- As in the, within our memory, there are two great wars, world war number one, world war number two. We have experienced
- As in your body so much subtle energies are working, just imagine this universal body of Krsna, virat-rupa, how much subtle energies are working and there. So that we do not know. That is our ignorance
- As it is materially possible, that a man of this world can work so wonderfully simply by pushing some button, so how much great is God, or Krsna, simply by His desire, "Let there be creation," immediately everything is there
- As it is said that in the beginning was the word, that means before the creation there was the transcendental sound. So that word, or transcendental sound, is not like the material sound
- As many times he has killed children, he will have to live within the womb and be killed. Bahu-duhkha-bhajah. It will be followed by so many miserable condition of life
- As one goes to the physician, for treatment of his disease - otherwise it may prove fatal - similarly, one should atone the sinful activities as they are prescribed in different scriptures. That is the prescription
- As our consciousness is now for my sense gratification, my society's sense gratification, my nation's sense gratification, similarly, if we change it to Krsna's sense gratification, then we become perfect. This is Krsna consciousness movement
- As soon as Bhagavad-gita is interpreted in the ways of a particular scholar or particular man, oh, then the purpose of Bhagavad-gita is lost
- As soon as he becomes Krsna conscious, then he becomes joyful, because he has no more enemy. "Everyone is my brother." Therefore he has no fear
- As soon as he comes to the understanding of spiritual platform, then he becomes joyful, immediately - freed from all anxieties
- As soon as he is on the lap of his mother, immediately stops, crying. Why? He can understand, "Now I have got the real thing." Other woman taking, he still continues crying. You have seen it?
- As soon as he's requested that, "You become servant of Krsna," "Oh, this is nonsense. They are old-type people." - We have invented something new, to become servant of sex and intoxication
- As soon as I am engaged in Krsna's service, then I will be satisfied, Krsna will be satisfied, and the whole world will be satisfied. So nobody should interpret any other way. This is direct meaning
- As soon as I have got a particular type of body, my pains and pleasures are already settled up. You cannot make any improvement or degradation
- As soon as I rise up in the morning, I remember, "Oh, I am such and such officer. I am such and such father, such and such husband, and I have got to do such and such things." Everything remembered. But during your sleep, you forget everything
- As soon as in India they took it that by birth one becomes brahmana, the whole Vedic civilization has been spoiled. Brahmana means this quality - Satya, sama, dama
- As soon as it (material contamination) begins to diminish, then it will diminish finally, and then you will be situated in your pure, original constitutional position, Krsna consciousness
- As soon as it (water) becomes solid, again it liquefies; again it becomes liquid. Because that is his dharma. That is called dharma - liquidity. Similarly, dharma means which you cannot change
- As soon as one accepts that God is there and I am subordinate, and my business is to surrender unto Him, then immediately he becomes Krsna conscious
- As soon as one becomes free from all sinful activities, he becomes firmly convinced of God consciousness. That is called nistha. Tato nistha tato ruci. Then you taste, - Oh, it is so nice, Krsna consciousness
- As soon as one chants Hare Krsna, immediately he remembers Krsna, Krsna's activities, Krsna's pastimes, Krsna's form, Krsna's quality, Krsna's attributes - everything. That is called to absorb the mind in Krsna. You become immediately the first-class yogi
- As soon as one comes to this platform of knowledge, then he becomes prasannatma. - Oh, why I am serving these nonsense? I forgot that I am a spirit soul, minute particle of Krsna. My business is to serve Krsna

- As soon as one has his mastership on the grammar, he can study all other books
- As soon as one is convinced that "I am not this material body," then immediately he becomes joyful
- As soon as one is highly qualified medical man, he comes to Australia. So who will take care of them? So therefore they imported some brain from India. Anyway, our time should be saved for self-realization
- As soon as one is said that "You become God's servant," "Oh, again servant?" But he's actually servant of intoxication. That will continue
- As soon as our heart is cleansed, we can understand that - I am not this material body. I am spirit soul. I have got different business. So long I am working for the maintenance of this body. Now I understand that body is superficial shirt and coat dress
- As soon as speak of laws of nature, we must accept that there is a law maker. Laws of nature cannot develop automatically. There must be some authority on the background
- As soon as the consciousness is developed at the age of seven months, the child wants to come out. Therefore it moves
- As soon as the mind is purified, then all this expansion into thousands and millions of ideas will be controlled, and the only idea will be Krsna. This is called yoga system, concentrating
- As soon as the problem is finished, they forget God: no more church, no more temple. You see? That is not devotion. Devotion is that, "No problem. I am ready to serve You, my Lord." That is life
- As soon as the soul is away from this body, it is a lump of matter. So when the soul is off from the body, if somebody decorates that dead body, what is use? It is simply concoction. That's all
- As soon as the spirit soul is off, you do not care for the son's body or daughter's body or your wife's body. Then who is the lovable object? The soul. It is very natural to understand

- As soon as there is disobedience of law and order, immediately police department must go and punish and arrest. We can experience these things. Similarly, by God's side there is such department, police department. That is maya, Durgadevi
- As soon as there is experiment, there is no truth. And if there is truth, there is no experiment
- As soon as there is little light, immediately they (birds & beasts) will rise up & will talk amongst themselves & go, one tree to another, & he will eat one or two fruits, little fruits, ample fruit. They have no scarcity of food & live very pleasantly
- As soon as there is misunderstanding between husband, wife, it will be hell. So the principle is the husband honestly tries to earn livelihood, and at home the wife should be so intelligent that whatever money the husband has earned, she'll manage
- As soon as there is some motive, that is cheating religion. But bhakti, there is no such thing, dharma, artha, kama, moksa. It is above, transcendental
- As soon as there is soul, there must be consciousness. These things are described in the Bhagavad-gita, and you can perceive also. I am existing in this body; you are existing in your body
- As soon as they (the aborigines) see a big sea, ocean, they offer obeisances. So that is inherent. But due to the material association, it is covered
- As soon as this blazing fire of material existence is extinguished, immediately you come to the platform of blissfulness. Then that blissfulness will increase one after another, one after another. Just like the comparison has been given just like the moon

- As soon as we see somebody is engaged in Krsna's regulative service, you should know that he is above all kinds of reaction of sinful life. This is the proof
- As soon as we work on the platform of bodily consciousness, we become bound up by the reaction of my work
- As soon as you . . . you have to introduce this metal coins, value. The whole cheating scheme will fail
- As soon as you are initiated and you execute the regulative principles as they are prescribed, you become eligible (for going back to home, back to Godhead); there is no doubt. So the only thing remains that you become trained up

- As soon as you get - klesada asa dehah - this body, full of miserable condition, then you again put into miserable condition of life
- As soon as you get a material body, you have to undergo the pains of pleasures of this. No pleasure; all pains. You have to undergo. This is subjected
- As soon as you get another material body, it is suffering. So try to realize these things. Therefore, punar-janma-jayaya. The whole aim should be how to conquer over again material . . . this is intelligence
- As soon as you get the most valuable body, spiritual body, there will be no more change. Why don't you understand like that? So that you have to get. That is very simple

- As soon as you see one man is sitting on the bench of the high court, you must know he is very learned man and learned lawyer - he has passed already. That is the test
- As soon as you take birth, brahmana is your guru. So where is brahmana? Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Where is that guru? Therefore the society is chaotic condition
- As soon as you take birth, the all the material conditions, tri-tapa-yatana - adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika - you have to accept. There is no rescue
- As soon as you take birth, your body also becomes older, and you must suffer from disease. This is called imperfection. But they have become so dull that they cannot understand. They cannot imagine that one can be perfect against this imperfection
- As soon as you take your birth, the food is there. For example, a young girl gives birth, just a moment before the birth of the child, there is no milk in the breast, but as soon as the child take birth, immediately immense supply of milk
- As soon as you understand that you are not this body, you are not matter, that you are spirit soul, then immediately you become joyful
- As soon as you understand, "All this material condition of life we are simply dreaming; I am actually servant of Krsna," then you are liberated. That is Krsna conscious
- As soon as you work for your personal benefit, that is material. And as soon as you work for Krsna's benefit, that is spiritual. That's all. This is the distinction between material and spiritual

- As strong as you think, because in every village, every town, every home, there is Hare Krsna, still
- As the cats & dogs, do not understand what is the future of life, similarly, if human beings, getting this opportunity of very intelligent, developed consciousness, do not understand what is the goal of life, future of life, then he remains a cat & dog
- As the devotee is only searching the opportunity how to serve Krsna, similarly, Krsna is also very eager to serve the devotee. That is a reciprocation of devotional service
- As the devotees think, so I also in that way thought. - "I thought it a special grace of the SPG." "And I at once took leave of my so-called home and went away." So that is the difference between the devotees of the Lord and materialistic person
- As the lusty man finds pleasure in the vagina, similarly, this sort of literature, nonsense literature, are enjoyed by persons who are just like crows, not, what is called, swan. Swan will not go to that place
- As the materialist has centered round the sex, this way, that way, similarly the transcendentalist, their center is Krsna. That is the difference. So if you want to enjoy life making Krsna as the center, that is eternal happiness
- As the mechanical arrangement of the watch is made by some brain, similarly, your brain or Professor Einstein's brain, that is also made by another scientist. And who is that scientist
- As the spiritual master is the representative of Krsna, similarly a student must be also the representative of Arjuna. Then Bhagavad-gita discussion will be nice
- As the state is protected by the department of law and order, similarly, this whole universe is protected by the stringent laws of nature. If we violate, the stringent laws of nature will not excuse me
- As the sun and the sunshine, they are together shining, there is light, similarly, when we are again posted in our own constitutional position, and Krsna is like the sun and we are shining particles, then our life is successful
- As the water dries up, then they (fish) come out as grass, as vegetables. Then grow, different types of trees, plants, creepers. Then gradually develops to become insects, flies. Then develops to serpents. In this way, this is evolution
- As there is death, birth, old age and disease, so you go in any planet within this universe - there are millions of planets - the same thing will follow
- As there is difference between gold and iron, similarly there is difference between the loving affairs of gopis with Krsna and these mundane, so-called lusty affairs between man and women or boys and girls. It is never equal
- As there is no mistake in the judgment of the high court, similarly, what to speak of Krsna, the Supreme Lord. There is necessity. The government, in order to keep law and order, there is violence also
- As there is summer season; after summer season, there is rainy season; after rainy season there is winter season. Similarly, there are four yugas, namely Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga, Dvapara-yuga and Kali-yuga
- As this father injects the seed of living being within the womb of the mother, similarly, God injects the living being within this material world, and they come out under different forms with the material body
- As we act under the leadership of a supreme person, similarly, if we live under the leadership of God, that is our perfection of life. This is called yogam yunjan mad-asrayah. Mad-asrayah means - under My direction
- As we are above these lower animals - aquatics, birds, bees, trees, plants, insects, cats, dogs, so many - we are nara, human being, similarly, there is another group: they are called demigods
- As we are chanting, if you kindly chant for one week, and you see how much you progress in spiritual knowledge
- As we are getting life here according to the father's semina and mother's secretion, the body and situation . . . somebody is very highly intelligent; somebody is not so intelligent. Somebody is very rich, somebody is poor. Somebody is middle class
- As we are representative of God, we are canvassing door to door, "Please become Krsna conscious and make your life successful." That's all. Now it is up to you to take it or reject it. That is your business
- As we are teaching this bhagavat-dharma, the Srimad-Bhagavatam, we are following the footsteps of Vyasadeva
- As we are training a medical practitioner and an engineer or any particular type of line, similarly, there must be training school and college where a person or a boy may be educated as a brahmana or as a ksatriya
- As we are, in our own original, constitutional position, we are not subjected to birth, death, old age and disease
- As we cannot stop the fighting between dogs, similarly, so long people will remain in bodily concept of life, the fighting cannot be stopped
- As we create sinful reaction of life by our body, by our words, by our intelligence, similarly, by our body, by our intelligence, by our work we can be elevated also. Just like we have engaged our body in cleansing this temple
- As we go to the physician, we have to go to consult an expert learned brahmana, that - I have committed sin
- As we have got experience, the nuclear weapon is very, very dangerous. Similarly, the brahmastra is also very, very dangerous. And another weapon, they knew this art, sabda-bhedhi
- As we make progress in the matter of Krsna consciousness, then our original, constitutional position becomes revealed. And as soon it is fully revealed, I am free from all these material obligations. Oh, my place is reserved there
- As yogi he satisfied her (Devahuti) in every respect. And then she wanted children. So Kardama Muni begot in her nine daughters and one son, with the promise that - As soon as you get your children, I will go away. I am not going to live forever with you
- As you are elevated to the human form of life, if you do not utilize this human form of life, if we behave like animals, then we shall be converted again into animals
- As you are experiencing this change of body, similarly, you take it that this body also will change. An old man like me, the next body is there. Either farther old man or, after death, another body. This is to be understood
- As you are understanding about the sun by authoritative statement of the geometry, that this sun globe is so great, but you are seeing just like a disk. So how to get the knowledge of the sun? By receiving through the ear. That's all
- As you generally understand in the Western country, the word religion is used as "a kind of faith." Faith you can change. Today you are Christian; tomorrow you can become Hindu. But religion cannot be changed
- As you get different types of body, your atmosphere, your activity, your knowledge - everything - becomes relative. So for a higher relative standard, better standard of life, you can go to the higher planets. Similarly, you can lower down also
- As you get miserable condition of life - you don't like it, but it comes - similarly, happy condition will also come according to your destiny. Why you are wasting time for this? This is the decision of the sastra
- As you go to the moon planet but if you cannot stay there, you must have to come down again to this planet, similarly, one may rise up to the Brahman platform, which is called param-pada, but if you cannot stay there, then again you fall down
- As you have got a president here, similarly the sun planet there is president. His name is Vivasvan. So we have got such knowledge
- As you inquire what is svami, svami means master. And master, what does it mean? Master of the senses. Generally people are driven by the dictation of the senses. So if you can control your senses, then you become a svami
- As you say that his presence is required, therefore I say he may remain here. Otherwise, to remain here is not his duty as a sannyasi. That is actually your duty, to organize the local management and everything
- Asad-dharma means referring to the body, karma-kandiya. Karmis, they are engaged in asad-dharma, not sad-dharma. Because the body is asat
- Asakti is also not attained very easily, but there is a process. If we follow the process, as recommended by the authorities, then there is way. And one who is serious to understand God, or Krsna, they must follow the methods prescribed by the mahajanas
- Asat-karma means you become poor, ugly, without any education, no riches, always hungry. These are the results of asat-karma. So this is called karma-kanda
- Asat: they will not stay. I have got experience. Everyone has got. I was children, you were children. Now, I had father to take protection or other relative, friend. But now they are gone. Asatsu. Everything is finished
- Ask big, big scientists, philosopher, "What is the goal of life?" They do not know. They simply theorize, that's all. The real goal of life is to understand God. So that can be done, as it is said here, that you make association
- Ask your any family member, your wife or your children or any friend, so "I have given you so much service. Are you satisfied?" "Oh, what you have given?" You have to do so many things. You have got so much things
- Asraddadhanah purusah (BG 9.3). Purusa means any man, any human being, living being, but a human being, because otherwise who will hear Krsna? The cats and dogs will not hear
- Ass cannot understand that he's suffering, loading so much cloth upon his back. That is ass, one who cannot understand the suffering. And we are taking it, - This is not suffering, this is pleasure. I am working so hard
- Associate with God means you gradually become godly. This is the meaning of chanting the holy name of God
- Association of material world means accepting one type of body and enjoy or suffer for some time; then you get another body. Now we have to make our choice, whether you want to stop this material way of life and attain the eternal spiritual life
- Asura thinks that he will live forever, and let him prepare big, big plans for material comforts. This is asuric civilization. He'll not be allowed to stay here. Duhkhalayam asasvatam - BG 8.15
- Asuri sampad means more and more entanglement and bondage within this material world. And daivi sampad means your freedom from material world
- At any moment death can take place. How you'll protect yourself? Therefore we take protection of God. That "God, You can kill me at any moment. You can save me also." Therefore we are intelligent
- At heart he (Dr. Radhakrishnan) was (afraid of God). But because he is impersonalist and mundane scholar, he was writing all nonsense
- At heart, they were, "After demise of Guru, I shall become acarya," "I shall become acarya." So all the acaryas began fight
- At home they (Gosvamis) had more time to sleep, but when they went to Vrndavana they were sleeping only one half-hour to two hours only. At the present moment, when a man becomes old, he requires more rest but according to Vedic civilization, no more rest
- At least for the time being, they (warriors on the battlefield) knew that Krsna has come. Suppose a prominent man comes in a big meeting. Is not everyone conscious of that person?
- At least our young men in India, at least still inquiring. That is the culture. "What is God?"this is the beginning of human life, when one inquires about Brahman
- At least the brahmanas, the priestly heads of religion, the king and the public leader, they should stop these four sinful activities. The leaders of the society, they must be sinless. Then the human society will make nice progress
- At least those who are Vedic followers, they take cow dung as pure. Anywhere impure, they smear with cow dung. And that is fact also. Cow dung is full of antiseptic properties. It has been analyzed
- At least to have a guarantee that our next life is going to be human life, everyone should take to Krsna consciousness. From mundane profit point of view. There is a story, Savitri-Satyavan. It is not a story. It is historical fact
- At least, in the lower grades of forms, there are eighty-one lakhs, or 8,100,000, and above that, about 400,000 forms of human being
- At night I am forgetting this body, and daytime I am forgetting my night body. So forgetfulness is not the basic principle of knowledge. The things as they are we have to study
- At night the gross body does not work. We are thinking, "I am sleeping." Sleeping means the body is so much tired, it is no more working
- At night, let me do all sinful activities; in the morning I shall chant Hare Krsna, and everything will be nullified. - This is the greatest offense
- At night, we cannot see even four yards. So what is the value of these eyes? It is conditional. If there is sunrise, then we can see. That condition is made by God
- At that (Brahman realization) time, he realizes that all living entities, they are spirit soul, panditah sama-darsinah (BG 5.18). That is equal vision - not the bodily vision
- At that time this Vrndavana, which you have seen, now it is nice city, but during the time of Caitanya Mahaprabhu it was a big field only, that's all, nothing more than that
- At the age of seven months only, the child becomes active. So spirit soul is always active. So all these activities should be dovetailed in Krsna consciousness, yat karosi, whatever you do
- At the full youthful age He gave up His family life, beautiful wife, most obedient, perfect wife, beautiful wife, mother, affectionate mother, very good prestige, social prestige
- At the maximum enough food for two people, for man as well as for the cow. That person will be healthy and nourished other times he will chant Harinama. The cow will produce milk and after drinking it, the man will be healthy and nourished
- At the modern age the people are simply kept into ignorance so that they can work like ass and cow and be satisfied. This is the present civilization. And this Krsna consciousness movement is a fight against this civilization, this wrong civilization
- At the present age, mostly the scientists, they cannot give us perfect knowledge, because there are so many "if's." They say, "It may be," "Perhaps," like that. But this is not perfect knowledge
- At the present moment . . . that is sudra. Kalau sudra-sambhavah. In this age of Kali, everyone is in the modes of ignorance. Sudra
- At the present moment almost everyone, 99.9 percent people, they do not know what is our problem and how to get out of it. They do not know. Ignorance, stupidity, mudha
- At the present moment in Kali-yuga, it is said (in SB), svikaram eva hy udvahe. Boys and girls will loiter in the street and two of them, as they agree, "Yes, we will live together." That's all
- At the present moment in this age, Kali-yuga, everyone is sudra, nobody is brahmana, by the caste system or by birthright. Sudra. Kalau sudra sambhavah
- At the present moment Krsna, in the BG, wanted: sarva-dharman parityajya. Krsna wanted Arjuna - Arjuna means everyone - that they should surrender to Krsna and be engaged in the service of Krsna. So when we speak of Krsna, means God, the SPG
- At the present moment modern educated persons, they do not know that there is something like moksa and it can be achieved, and there is process, and the whole Vedic sastra is trying to educate us for getting moksa
- At the present moment people are very, very much addicted to sinful life. Because they are less intelligent
- At the present moment the education department does not distinguish who is a brahmana, who is a ksatriya, who is a vaisya or a sudra. And because the things have topsy-turvied, there is chaos all over the world
- At the present moment the population is not being produced very nicely; therefore there is disturbance of peace all over the world. But if there are Krsna conscious children, they will grow up and they will possess all good qualities
- At the present moment the so-called human society, civilized human society, is giving up the conception of God, understanding God, especially the Communist party
- At the present moment there is a movement amongst the younger section to commit suicide. Why? Why younger section are feeling such frustration and confused in spite of so much educational institution?
- At the present moment there is no brahmana, qualified. Therefore the society is in chaos. In chaotic condition, all are searching after something substantial. That is the position of the Western countries
- At the present moment there is no fixture even for the physical necessities. No hope. When I first came to America, when I saw in the Bowery Street, they're lying on the street, - And how is that?
- At the present moment there is scarcity of brahmana. Brahmana means who has got very nice intellectual brain, who can understand the Absolute Truth
- At the present moment they do not know what is papa and how to get out of it; what is next birth. Everything is unknown at the present moment. This is the modern civilization
- At the present moment we are covered by two kinds of dresses - the subtle dress: mind, intelligence and ego; and the gross covering. Subtle means we know there is this thing, but we cannot see it
- At the present moment we have got this human form of body. We can hear the instruction of God, and we can again elevate. That is possible. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita - janma karma me divyam
- At the present moment, "In the Kali-yuga, everyone is sudra." It is hardly to be found a qualified brahmana. Of course, there are, but very rare. Practically brahmana is not a single there, especially in this age
- At the present moment, 99.9%, they are sudras. Therefore the society is chaotic condition
- At the present moment, all over the world, Kali's influence is going on, everyone, almost everyone, 99.9 percent. You cannot say cent percent, because there are some saintly persons
- At the present moment, as you say, in the Kali-yuga, it is accepted that almost everyone is a sudra. Otherwise, do you mean to say because everyone has become sudra, the science of Krsna, or Krsna consciousness, should be stopped? No
- At the present moment, because the leaders are foolish, blind, they have no spiritual knowledge, all the population of the world becomes godless
- At the present moment, by the principle of vox populi, a butcher goes to the legislature. So everything depends on training. In our Krsna consciousness society we are actually doing that. But in the case of politics they forget it
- At the present moment, even in the civilized world, so-called civilized, if one man is being killed on the open street, nobody will go and help him because the tendency for showing mercy to others, that is diminishing
- At the present moment, how the whole world, whole atmosphere, is condemned is described in the next verse (SB 1.1.10) The first qualification is short span of life. In India the average age, span of life, is thirty years. The vitality is so reduced
- At the present moment, in our material conditional life, we have no attachment for Krsna. We have got attachment for non-Krsna. So you have to transfer that attachment to Krsna
- At the present moment, in the materialistic concept of life, everyone is servant of the senses. Everyone acts by the dictation of the senses; therefore they can be called, in other words, as godasa, servant of the senses
- At the present moment, Kali-yuga, kalau sudra-sambhavah. In Kali-yuga there is no first class, second class or even third class. All fourth-class men, sudra-sambhavah
- At the present moment, most people - they are in the lower grades of the material quality, ignorance and passion. Therefore you see all over the world, rajas-tamo-bhavah kama-lobha (SB 1.2.19). Every man is greedy and lusty. Every man
- At the present moment, people are captivated for human welfare activities. Oh, what human welfare activities they will do? It is not in your power
- At the present moment, so many big, big scholars and professors and educationists, they are also the same category as the dog. As the dog is thinking, "I am this body," he is also thinking, - I am this body
- At the present moment, the human society has been educated to love his country or family or one's personal self, but they have no information where to repose the loving propensity so that everyone can become happy
- At the present moment, the Kali-yuga, the sastra says, almost everyone is a sudra because nobody can live independently
- At the present moment, the motorcar civilization, he's anxious how to get a Rolls-Royce motorcar, that's all. That is his business
- At the present moment, why the society is chaotic condition? Because there is no brahmana. That is the defect
- At the time of Bhisma's death he was thinking of Krsna: in His fighting spirit He was coming to kill him. That is in Bhisma's prayer. There is in the Bhagavata
- At the time of death he understands that, "My real father, the soul, which was within this body, he has now gone." Therefore our vision is always imperfect
- At the time of death we suffer very much. Just imagine, when we give up our life, how much difficult position at that time. So we forget birth and death
- At the time of death, by superior authority, what body I'm going to take next, that has to be decided
- At the time of death, if our consciousness is pure, then it is sure that next life is not material. Next life is pure spiritual life
- At the time of death, the condition of my mind will carry me to a particular type of body. And there are 8,400,000's of bodies. That will be given by superior authority
- At the time of death, we have got some bhavam, some situation. So that is situation in the mind, intelligence. Because this gross body, at that time, stops working, but the mind, intelligence, ego, works
- At the time of death, when one very sinful man is dying, he sees the Yamaraja or the order carriers of Yamaraja. They are very fierce-looking. Sometimes the man on the deathbed becomes very much fearful, cries, - Save me, save me
- At the time of delivery the woman is in danger. There may be so many dangers. Therefore twice sada-bhaksana, at the period of seven months and perhaps in nine months
- At the time of his death, because there were seven days only, so he (Pariksit Maharaja) wanted to do something which may emancipate him. So Sukadeva Gosvami, he arrived in the meeting and he advised him to hear about Krsna
- At Vrndavana in India there are temples still, they are spending thousands and thousands of rupees for palatable foodstuff, offering to the Deity. And those foodstuff are distributed to the, I mean to say, the devotees
- Atha means now. Atha, hereafter. That means after passing through all animalistic way of life, when a man comes to the stage of civilized life, perfect civilized life, at that time his business is to inquire what is the Absolute Truth
- Atha means those who have become experienced of this miserable life of this material world. They can enquire. They can enquire what is Absolute Truth, what is spiritual life. Athato brahma jijnasa
- Athato brahma jijnasa. Then the question will be that "Why I am not free? What is the reason?" Then that is, real human life begins. Otherwise he's a dog
- Atheistic theory, is aparaspara-sambhutam. It has taken by mechanical arrangement. Mechanical. . . Kim anyat kama-haitukam (BG 16.8). Kama. Just like kama - a man, a woman becomes lusty, and there is sex, and there is production. So they say like that
- Ati-buddhi galaya dekhe. If one is unnecessarily over intelligent, just hang him with a rope in the neck. So he is ati-buddhi. Anyway, he was intelligent to purchase
- Atmanam ajitendriyah, the whole training is to control the senses, and the most powerful sense is the tongue. Sense control begins from the tongue
- Atomic bomb, the nuclear weapon, is not used when there is fight between two dogs. It is not so insignificant. When the fight is very severe
- Atomic energy, big energy, it is done by a scientist, not that the ingredients automatically mix together and become an atomic . . . no. That is not possible
- Atonement is prescribed in every scripture. Even in Christian Bible there is atonement. So in other scriptures also there is atonement. Just like a man who has committed murder, he, he must die. "Life for life." This is atonement
- Attachment comes after passing over so many different stages of devotional service. So Krsna's recommending mayy asaktah: you have to increase your attachment for Krsna and God
- Author has given you some knowledge, so he has got some particular aim and objective. So why should you change that? You have no right to change that
- Authorized person in the line of disciplic succession, he does not speak by his own authority. Immediately he'll quote from the Vedic literature to support his proposition
- Avaisnava sees another person is suffering; he doesn't care: "Let him suffer." We have come to that state. I heard from one of my disciples that here, in New York, if somebody is killed on the road, nobody will care. Is it a fact?
- Avatara means one who comes directly from the spiritual world. And incarnation . . . of course, this avatara is translated with the word incarnation, but I think real meaning of incarnation means "who accepts a body." Is it not
- Avatarana means "coming from up to down." That is called avatarana. And avatara is understood that when God or His bona fide representative comes from that sky to this material plane, that is called avatara
- Avyayam means whatever little service you render, that is permanent settlement. If you come here and dance and chant or ring the bell or anything about the aratrika, if you see, drsta - anything you do, that is your permanent credit
- Awaken their Krsna consciousness. - That is Krsna consciousness movement. It is the best welfare activities to the human society
- Awakening of love cannot be possible in other living condition than the human being. The human form of life, is therefore the perfectional stage how to develop our love for God, or how we can love God
B
- Back to home, back to Godhead. You are going this side, opposite side, toward the side of hell. That is not your destination. You go this side, back to Godhead. - That is our propaganda. So we have not manufactured this; this is the standard
- Bad men also will get peace? This is nonsense. Just see how nonsense philosophers they are
- Bahyabhyantara-sucih: inside and outside. Outside by taking bath, washing with soda, soap, or if soda, soap is not available, with earth or oil. That is external cleanliness
- Bali Maharaja is the grandson of Prahlada Maharaja. They are demonic family. So amongst the demons, many devotees came out. So to become devotee does not depend on particular family, this or that. No. Anyone can become devotee
- Bali Maharaja rejected his spiritual master. That's a great sin. But he rejected on shastric ground, because he objected for Visnu worship. Therefore such spiritual master should be rejected. Therefore he became mahajana, authority
- Bank balance also will not stay, the wife also will not stay, and good position, that will not stay. As soon as the body is finished, everything is finished. Therefore they are called asat
- Bank gives you interest, you have to pay. But we cheat so many people. We are thinking that we are very clever: "I can cheat so many persons and take money and enjoy." That is atheistic
- Because "I want sense gratification, so let me have complete freedom for sense gratification. That is the idea now, life." No, that is not ideal
- Because a sadhu is friend of everyone, there cannot be any conceivable enemy. But still, there are enemies. That is the nature of the world
- Because all the six Gosvamins happened to be direct disciples of Lord Caitanya, so Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, although very young, he was treated as younger brother of Sanatana Gosvami
- Because Arjuna was illusioned and he was not prepared to fight, so this instruction was given, this Bhagavad-gita instruction was given to Arjuna
- Because Bhisma would not die unless he desires, "Now let me die." Then he would die; otherwise not. So he was lying down on the deathbed, but was expecting to see Krsna at the last stage
- Because by the influence of Kali-yuga everyone is Sudra, so he does not know what is the actually Brahminical qualification. Therefore there is, I mean to say, competition
- Because cloth are very costly. And there are rats. If one cloth is cut by the rat, then it is great loss. So to save from this loss, he (Prabhupada's uncle) will put in a basin rice
- Because doctor says you have to starve, if you want to cure a disease, then I have to voluntarily accept, accept starving. This is called tapasya: voluntarily accept some miserable condition of life
- Because everyone is dying, but the man who is not yet dead, he thinks that he'll live forever. This is the most wonderful thing
- Because God has given you the seas and oceans of salt, you cannot make it use more than is necessary. If you think that, "There is so much salt, let me eat it," no, you cannot do. Any action
- Because God is absolute, there is no difference between His name and He Himself. In this material calculation, if you want water, simply by chanting "water, water," you won't get water. The water substance is different from the name - water
- Because he (a big scholar) has committed so many offenses, now he is living, but lost his memory. So all his intelligence is finished. So you can malinterpret, but nature is so strong that one day he will make you forget everything, brain paralysis
- Because he (a disciple) is not submissive, it is useless waste of time. Guru should not speak to anyone
- Because he (Sri Yamunacarya) has experienced. He was a family man, he was a king. He said that - Whenever I think of, not to act, but whenever I think of sex life, oh, I say, now, - tuh
- Because he (such and such scientist) has posed himself as a very big man, people follow him blindly and they're misled
- Because he carries the message of Krsna. Krsna is friend, and he is carrying the friendly message. Therefore he is friend
- Because he has got already natural tendency. And if he is . . . there is sanction by religiosity, ritualistic, religious process, then he will stick to it. So you have not done very nice work
- Because he is godless, he did not say, "Even God cannot kill me." That he forgot. In this way he took benediction that "I shall not die on the land." "Yes." "I shall not die on the water." - Yes
- Because he is ignorant, he is making plan to be happy, and one day it comes, "Kick out! Go out!" That is ignorance. Therefore sudra
- Because he is seeing always Krsna there, so he has no fear. He is enjoying life there. There are many instances. In our line, Rupa Gosvami
- Because He is sitting there (in the heart), therefore all kinds of remembrance, smrti, knowledge and forgetfulness. These things are functions of the mind
- Because He is the father of all living beings, therefore there is response from Europe and America. Otherwise, what connection they have got? They have got their Jesus Christ or something else. But why they are attracted to Krsna
- Because He is unlimited, He has got unlimited business also. So He can be called according to that name, according to that business. But this name, Krsna, is the best, because "Krsna" means all-attractive
- Because I am accustomed to think like that (my son or my grandfather is dying). So there must be grief. - So Krsna replied, "Yes, that's a fact. So that you must have to tolerate, that's all. There is no other remedy." Tams titiksasva bharata - BG 2.14
- Because I am born of a brahmin father, even though I am a carpenter or shoemaker, I am still a brahmana. - This has spoiled the Vedic culture
- Because I am chanting Hare Krsna mantra I can go on committing all kinds of sinful activities. It will be neutralized by my chanting. - This is offense
- Because I am chanting, therefore I can do anything sinful. It will be counteracted. - This is the greatest rascaldom, sinful activities. Yes
- Because I am eternal, I do not want my body be annihilated. But it will be. Therefore I am always fearful, "When it will be annihilated? When it will be annihilated? Is the time come? Is the time come?" This is called bhayam
- Because I am eternal, you are eternal, so I want to live forever. But we are put under certain condition of this material world that we have to die
- Because I am in ignorance, therefore I am thinking, "I am this body": "I am this white body," "I am this black body," "I am this American body," "I am this Indian body," "I am this cat's body" and - dog's body
- Because I am in ignorance, therefore I am thinking, "I am this body." So it requires a little jnana, knowledge. Then we will understand that - I am not this body; I am different from this body
- Because I am not supreme controller, because I am in diseased condition, therefore my business is to cure the disease. Cure the disease - that is sane man's business
- Because I am thinking American, the American government claims, "Yes, you come and fight, give your life," draft board. Why? This body. Therefore the intelligent person should know that - I am suffering all miserable condition of my life due to this body
- Because I cannot see what is happening beyond this wall, oh, that does not mean there is nothing beyond this wall. So everyone wants to see God immediately. God you can see when you are perfectly qualified
- Because I have accepted material nature's protection, I am getting different types of body. This life I have got this body; next life I may get another body
- Because it is fight against maya, why we shall be afraid of being killed? Where there is fight, one must know that "Either I am going to be killed or gain victory." Jivo va maro va
- Because Krsna says: "If somebody offers Me fruits, flowers, grains, milk with devotion and love, I eat," so we are pledged to Krsna, I offer these things to Krsna, and we eat. That is our process
- Because my (Prahlada) spiritual master gave me blessing, therefore I see You. So my first business is to serve him. - This is Vaisnava conclusion
- Because Nrsimhadeva was groaning in anger, and the demigods are afraid to approach Him, so Prahlada Maharaja first appeals to Him, - My dear Lord, there is no need of any more groaning
- Because one has concentrated himself simply in Krsna consciousness and devotional service, even though sometimes there are some discrepancies in the matter of his work, still he should be accepted as sadhu, as purified soul
- Because one has got the Russian body by some way or other, another has got American body, I am making distinction. So this distinction is on the material platform
- Because one living entity is food for another living entity, you cannot eat your father, mother or children. Why? Because you are human being, you have got discrimination
- Because originally it (the world) belongs to God. Originally it is spiritual. Therefore in the higher sense there is nothing material. Everything is spiritual because everything is emanating from the Supreme Spirit
- Because people are becoming religious for moksa, liberation. So Sridhara Svami says that up to the end of moksa-vancha, desire for liberation, that is also rejected. Because moksa is also not our ultimate goal of life
- Because she is married, and if she serves faithfully her husband, her husband is pleased and there is love, in due course of time, there will be child
- Because snakes are always envious, so they are first up to be burned into that forest fire. They cannot go very swiftly. Others, tigers and other beasts, they go away. But the snake, they crawl. They cannot get out. Mostly they burn
- Because spiritual master has to be accepted saksad-dhari, directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead, therefore the so-called spiritual master should not be puffed up, that "Now I have become God." This is Mayavada
- Because that minute spirit soul is there, you are moving, you are acting, your brain is working, you are denying the existence of God, you are doing all these things
- Because the child offers to the father in love, father takes it very seriously, "Oh, you are so nice. Yes, yes. Give me." "A leaf, a fruit, a little water." What is the value of these? But - Because he is giving Me in faith and devotion, I accept it
- Because the living entity has got his karma, therefore one is born as Mr. Ford, and one is born something else. Otherwise, why he's born one rich and poor? There must be some consideration
- Because the love is misplaced, therefore we are frustrated. The example is given in the sastra: Just like the tree has to be watered, but if you do not know the purpose of watering, where to water, then our business of watering will be misused
- Because the maya, this wonderful material energy, is acting in such a big curtain, they cannot understand that beyond this there is something else. They are thinking this material energy working, that is everything - nothing beyond this
- Because the soul is there, therefore the body has developed, according to the desire of the soul. But it is very, very minute
- Because the Supreme Spirit is within, therefore it is floating. Not that weightlessness. Weight is there, very heavy weight. Just like you can test: This body will float in the water so long you are living
- Because the train is going, either you place yourself in the first-class compartment or second class, you will go. It is not that because you are situated in the third-class compartment the, your train is not going
- Because the Vaisnava-sampradaya does not give very much importance to Vedanta-sutra - because the explanation is there, they are reading actually Vedanta-sutra - people misunderstand that the Vedantist, followers of Vedanta, is the Sankara-sampradaya
- Because the whole aim was to get away the existence of God, therefore all the Vedic literature was . . . were interpreted by Sankaracarya in his own way. Still it is going on
- Because the whole world is running on under the false impression of sense enjoyment, therefore He (Krsna) comes and advises, sarva-dharman parityajya - BG 18.66
- Because the woman does not agree to be subordinate - she wants equal freedom - so the husband goes away and the woman is embarrassed with the children. And it becomes a burden to the government
- Because the youngest son had the name Narayana, the original Narayana took notice of him, and he (Ajamila) was saved, and he was immediately taken to the kingdom of God because he chanted the name of Narayana
- Because their life has been so modeled, it is no better than animal life. So they do not see any difference between animal life and human life. Therefore to become animal or human being, they do not mind. This is the position
- Because there is no such division, people are not trained from the very beginning. Therefore a Sudra is called by the draft board, "Come on," to fight. Now, how he can fight? He is not a Ksatriya
- Because they (many learned scholars and sannyasis) have no information of the spiritual varieties in the Vaikuntha planet, in the Goloka Vrndavana planet, they come down, because there is no bhakti
- Because they are busy for eating, sleeping and mating, by the laws of nature, that is also being minimized. I have already explained. Because the nature wants to help us, because we are now forgotten soul. We have forgotten God
- Because they are dependent and there are so many sufferings awaiting them for their so-called independent life, they do not believe in the next life. This is the special feature of the modern civilization
- Because they are on the spiritual platform, they forget the material designation. Young people, they have got brain, receptive
- Because they are rascals, they are falsely claiming, "This is my country. This is my property. Nobody can come here." This is a dog's philosophy
- Because they could not engage their service to the lotus feet of Krsna, therefore, these so-called sannyasis again come down to this material platform and engage their service to the mithya
- Because they do not know (what is the self-interest), therefore, out of ulterior motive, they are thinking that, - Satisfaction in the material way of life will give me ultimate pleasure or ultimate satisfaction. That is my ultimate goal
- Because they do not know, rascal, what I am, what I can do, - avajananti, - they think, - Krsna is like me
- Because they have been taught like that (to watch television). What is their fault? They do not know the importance of human life. "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy." That's all. And then become a dog. That's all
- Because they have no taste for Krsna, they have to. They will come again for opening hospitals and so on, so many activities, material activities. This is fall down
- Because this human form of life is meant for developing love for God. Because in all other life we have loved our children, we have loved our wife, we have loved our nest in the bird's life, in the beast's life. There is love
- Because this material world is a chaotic condition, therefore there is necessity of law and order. In the spiritual world there is no such thing
- Because we accepted this material body, we must be always afraid. Not only we, even a small ant or birds and beasts, everyone
- Because we are adhyama purusa, therefore there is chance of our brightness being sometimes covered. But we can again revive our brightness and shine with the Supreme Person
- Because we are all occupying this room just now, it does not mean the room and we are identical. Try to understand this point. The room is matter, but we are living entities
- Because we are distributing this, the most valuable asset of the world, so cheaply, don't neglect it. Take it. Don't minimize the value because we are distributing free
- Because we are flying one teeny rocket or sputnik in the air, we are taking so much credit: "Oh, we are so much advanced." What advance you have made in comparison to God?
- Because we are foolish, we cannot understand properly. Tad vijnartham sa gurum evabhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Therefore, one has to go to guru and understand the meaning by parampara system. You cannot make your own meaning
- Because we are misled by foolish leaders, we are confused. Otherwise everything's clear
- Because we are missing God, we are loving this thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, that thing, and frustration. That very love which is reserved for God, we are applying it in this material world, - I love my country. I love my society
- Because we are part and parcel of God - God is fully independent - so we have got also little particle of independence. As soon as we misuse that independence, disobey the words of God, we become sinful
- Because we are part and parcel of God, we can study God's personality from our personality. Just like we can study the father by the symptoms of the son
- Because we are part and parcel of God, we may be called as sample God. Just like in Christian Bible also it is said that man is made after the form of the God
- Because we are part and parcel of Krsna, all the qualities of Krsna in minute quantity, they are within us. We are sample of Krsna, but wherefrom we get this fighting spirit? The fighting spirit is there in Krsna
- Because we are personalist. We are not impersonal. This (chanting Hare Krsna, the pictures, the clothes, the instruments, the altar and Lord Jagannatha) is spiritual varieties. You are talking of no variety. Is it not?
- Because we are sample God, therefore we have got God's qualities in minute quantity. Very minute quantity. We have got creative power also
- Because we are so-called civilized, we have created the problems for eating, sleeping, mating. Otherwise there is already arrangement for everyone, by God. Eko bahunam vidadhati kaman
- Because we are spiritual entities, our natural tendency is to enjoy life. Spiritual entities means by nature, anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12); by nature, they want to enjoy life
- Because we are surrendered to Krsna we are confident about eating, sleeping. We don't bother about that. That is not our problem. Our problem is how to serve Krsna honestly
- Because we are trying to understand Krsna through Caitanya Mahaprabhu, therefore it has become easy. Otherwise it is very difficult subject
- Because we are unfortunate, we go to rascal, and they interpret Bhagavad-gita in a rascaldom way, and you are missing. So you should be very careful not to go to a rascal. Then your mission will be successful
- Because we have all forgotten Krsna. That is our miserable condition of life
- Because we have become mad, whole human civilization is meant for these four things: illicit sex, meat-eating and intoxication and gambling
- Because we have forgotten Krsna, we do not know the source of happiness. Anandamayo 'bhyasat - Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12
- Because we have got senses, they want satisfaction. So we must give food them also, senses. But ultimate goal is how to get out of this material existence
- Because we want something, there is demand. So long there is demand, we will never be satisfied. When there is no demand, fully satisfied, that is God realization
- Because You (Krsna) know yourself, what You are. Nobody knows. - Therefore to understand Krsna, or God, is to accept whatever is spoken in the Bhagavad-gita. That is real understanding
- Because you are devotees, you want to serve Krsna, Krsna has come in your temple in a form which you can very easily serve. Krsna does not require your service, but He is so kind that He is accepting your service
- Because you are foolish, you do not know that, "I am working under the dictation of my senses. My masters are the senses." So, "Why not accept Krsna as my master?" This is intelligence
- Because you are human being, you are together here to get this knowledge. The cats and dogs, they cannot come. They cannot take this knowledge
- Because you are limited, therefore you are under the control of material nature. If he keeps his limited existence, that is nice. But unnecessarily if he wants to become unlimited, that is artificial
- Because you are not able to offer such gigantic food to Krsna, Krsna says: "All right, give Me a little flower, give Me a little fruit, give Me a little water, I shall accept it." This is called arcana-viddhi
- Because you are part and parcel of God and God is the complete enjoyer. So you have also that spirit to enjoy
- Because you are part and parcel of God, you are as pure as God, but now you are put into this material condition. You are being contaminated in so many ways; therefore you are suffering, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- Because you are rich man, because you are beautiful man, because you are educated man, because you are born in a aristocratic family, that does not mean that you have avoided death, old age and disease
- Because you are son of God - God has got full independence, almighty - therefore you have acquired the quality of your father. You have got little independence. So God does not interfere with your little independence
- Because you are soul, spirit soul, part and parcel of God, you have got a particular duty. That is eternal duty
- Because you are woman, you have to be pregnant. How you can avoid it?
- Because you cannot say what is beyond this wall, that does not mean that there is nothing beyond this wall. Your knowledge is insufficient
- Because you cannot see at the present moment Krsna in spiritual identity, therefore Krsna comes before you as stone, as wood. But He is not stone; He is not wood
- Because you have committed, executed vikarma, therefore you have got this body. It doesn't matter whether it is rich body or poor body, everyone has to undergo the threefold miserable condition of life
- Because you have got one interest, therefore you one. Just like we. We are so many individuals. But our interest is Krsna. Therefore we are one
- Because you have got the God qualities, you are not the Supreme. That is not possible. Supreme is Supreme. Nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13). That is the Vedic injunction, that He is the chief of the eternals
- Because you have no direct touch of Krsna, therefore you take shelter of Krsna's representative. Then this yunjan begins. He will teach you how to practice the bhakti-yoga
- Because you say: "I have been cheated. I could not get the right information. I stop this business," that is not allowed. You must. Therefore, according to Vedic order it is said, tad vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet - MU 1.2.12
- Because your mind is absorbed in the thought of dog, therefore you must take the dog's body. This is nature's law. Therefore we have to train up our mind. Instead of dog, you must train up your mind to think of God. Then you will be saved
- Become religious. If you are really Christian, that is all right. But you are not Christian, because you are violating the orders of Lord Jesus Christ
- Becomes a renounced order, sannyasi, and highest order, and then, after some time, he becomes engaged in opening hospitals and philanthropic work and in politics. We have seen it. Oh, why?
- Before accepting the spiritual master, you must find out whether Krsna or Krsna's representative is there. Arjuna surrendered to Krsna. Sisyas te 'ham: "I am Your disciple." Similarly, everyone should surrender to Krsna or Krsna's representative
- Before breakfast I used to ask him (my second son), "Show me your teeth." So he'll. "Yes." "All right, you have washed your teeth. That's all right. Then you are allowed to take breakfast." Yes. So this training there are
- Before his body was constructed the father was there, now how could he see? So by seeing, you cannot ascertain who is your father. You have to hear from the authority. The mother is the authority. Therefore sruti-pramana: the evidence is hearing
- Before Krsna, he (Arjuna) was speaking that, - If I kill my family members, then such-and-such thing will happen. Then the women will become polluted and there will be unwanted children, varna-sankara
- Before making guru, the system is, for one year the prospective disciple should hear from the person and then decide. And similarly, the guru also see a person who is actually submissive or not. That is Vaisnava injunction, Hari-bhakti-vilasa
- Before us there were so many exalted acaryas - Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, Nimbarka and, in our line, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So our process is to follow the predecessor acarya
- Beg, borrow, steal - eat ghee. - Eat ghee, because so long you live, you'll live very sumptuously eating ghee and become fatty. That's all
- Beginning from Lord Brahma down to the worms in the stool, gradually, according to your work, according to your desire, you manufacture your different types of body and enjoy and suffer. That's all
- Beginning from that indra (one worm called indra-gopa) up to this Indra (king of heaven), everyone is bound up by the fruitive resultant action of his karma. This is called karma-phala
- Beginning is faith, but faith should not be blind. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). You have to take faith from great personalities. That is faith
- Beginning is hearing. If you patiently hears, then that dormant God consciousness again becomes revived. Yes. Then his life is successful
- Behind this big, gigantic machine, physical world, there is a living entity, a big, powerful living entity. He is God. We are simply sample of God, a small particle. Mamaivamso jiva-bhutah jiva-loke sanatanah
- Behind this material combination there is an active principle, which is soul. That is the important thing. But in the modern age they are giving more stress on the unimportant thing
- Being afraid of death, we should not deviate from our duties, real duty. That is Vedic civilization
- Being bewildered by this maya, this soul, who is part and parcel of Krsna, or God, he's thinking that 'I am a material product. I am made of these material things
- Being completely aware of Brahman, the Supreme Absolute Truth, not a bogus. If you want to receive knowledge, then you must approach a guru who is brahma-nistham. That is the qualification of guru
- Being situated on the spiritual platform, automatically you achieve your original status, constitutional position, brahma-bhutah prasannatma (BG 18.54). Then you are able to enter into the kingdom of God, or the spiritual world
- Besides cooking for the family, she (my mother) was being assisted by my sisters. Always palatable foodstuff. So many guests were there, and if son-in-law would come, they would specially prepare food for him
- Best achievement of life is the how to stop this getting material body again. Spiritual body, that is happiness. Then you will get eternal happiness, blissful life
- Best quality of association is devotional service, the devotees, because they're transcendental, above goodness
- Best thing is take to this Krsna consciousness, kevalaya bhaktya, simply this understanding, that - Krsna is my eternal master; I am Krsna's eternal servant. So let us exchange our feelings of master and servant. Then I shall be perfect
- Best thing would have been to live with us and work, give contribution as much as possible for running on this missionary work. But the thing is, we have no place
- Beyond the sky there is another sky and we are trying to go there according to the perfect knowledge
- Beyond the sky there is another sky, which is called paravyoma, or sanatana, eternal sky. And in that sky there are innumerable Vaikuntha planets. Vaikuntha means vigata-kuntha hy asmat: there is no anxiety
- Beyond this covering there is another nature. That is spiritual nature. We get this information from the Vedic literature. Paras tasmat tu bhavo 'nyo 'vyakto 'vyaktat sanatanah - BG 8.20
- Beyond this inferior quality energy, I have got another, superior quality of energy." What is that? Jiva-bhuta. You can understand that jiva-bhuta, the living entity. Yayedam dharyate jagat - BG 7.5
- Bhagavad-duta, those who are strictly following the dictation of Krsna under strict disciplinary chain of disciplic succession, he is Krsna's representative, and he should be given all the respect
- Bhagavad-gita cannot be understood by so-called scholars by academic degrees. One has to become a devotee of Krsna
- Bhagavad-gita gives you full information so that you can accept God with your reason, with your argument, with your knowledge. It is not blind following
- Bhagavad-gita has taught that one can go back to home, back to Godhead, in any position, provided he knows how to tackle the situation
- Bhagavad-gita is a well-read book all over the world. In any country you will find edition of Bhagavad-gita by the language of the country. So in this Bhagavad-gita we find that Krsna is giving instruction about what is dharma, religion
- Bhagavad-gita is based on philosophy, this system, krsna-bhakti. Bhagavad-gita means krsna-bhakti, devotion to Krsna, Krsna consciousness. That is Bhagavad-gita
- Bhagavad-gita is eternal because it teaches what is your relationship with God, what is your eternal duty to God, and what is the ultimate end of life. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita
- Bhagavad-gita is real Vedanta. And if one understands Bhagavad-gita as it is, he is really Vedantist. Veda means knowledge, and anta means the last word. So last word of knowledge is Krsna
- Bhagavad-gita means the knowledge given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. Not secondary knowledge; first-hand knowledge
- Bhagavad-gita points out that you should always keep these four principles (birth, death, old age and disease) of misery in front. Then you'll be able to advance in spiritual path
- Bhagavad-gita says that - You may think of yourself as very happy within this material condition. That is called maya. Actually, it is not happiness
- Bhagavad-gita teaches us that anyone, if he worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead by sva-dharma, by his occupational duty, he also becomes perfect. For example, just like Arjuna
- Bhagavad-gita was instructed to Arjuna for his only qualification, that he was a devotee of Krsna. Bhakto 'si me sakha ceti
- Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, all these books should be studied from the direct meaning. Don't try to interpret
- Bhagavan is the first nominative case from the word bhagavata, and from bhagavata, Bhagavatam. Bhagavatam means in relationship with God and in relationship with the devotees of God
- Bhagavat-tattva, the science of God, is a vijnana. It is a science; it is not sentiment. Sentiment: I close my eyes and shed some tears, and then I go for smoking cigarette. That sentiment will not help us
- Bhagavata is natural commentary on Vedanta-sutra, and Lord Caitanya therefore gives evidence from the Bhagavata generally, and Puranas also, Mahabharata and Upanisad. They are all authorities
- Bhagavata is the natural commentary on the Vedanta-sutra. Therefore one who has sufficient knowledge in Bhagavata, he has automatically sufficient knowledge in Vedanta-sutra
- Bhagavata said that tarko 'pratisthah srutayo vibhinna - Simply by argument you cannot establish what is Absolute Truth, and if you consult different scriptures, you will find difference of opinion, or difference of procedures, rituals
- Bhagavata says that one should not become a father, a mother, one should not become a teacher, one should not become a king unless they are able to elevate their dependents to this spiritual knowledge, which can save him from repeated birth and death
- Bhagavata says that, "If you cannot develop the spiritual life of your dependent, then don't become a spiritual master, don't become a teacher, don't become a father, don't become a husband." These things are restricted
- Bhagavata says, dharmah projjhita-kaitavah (SB 1.1.2): "Except surrendering to Krsna, anything, that is simply cheating," cheating, kaitavah, cheating religion. This is challenged by God, cheating religion
- Bhagavatam is accepted as the real commentary on the Vedanta-sutra. Real commentary. Bhasyam brahma-sutranam. Vedartha paribrmhitam. These are the statements. This is accepted by the acaryas
- Bhagavatam is the eighteenth Purana. So there are seventeen Puranas still more, not yet touched. Beside that, there are 108 Upanisads. Then there is big Mahabharata, the great history of India. Then Ramayana
- Bhagavaty uttama-sloke bhaktir bhavati naisthiki, then your firm, steady, steadiness in devotional service will be fixed up
- Bhaj-dhatu means offering service, rendering service. So bhakti, bhajana, bhakta, bhagavata - they are coming from the same root, bhaja-dhatu, Sanskrit
- Bhaja vasudevam, this is not very much appealing. But this is the only way to become out of entanglement. Otherwise, we shall always remain in this false ego that "I am this body. I am of this material world," no information of the spiritual world
- Bhakti is not that it is something sentiment, without any basic principle of knowledge. No. It is fully based on Vedic knowledge
- Bhakti is nothing artificial. It is the activity of healthy stage. Just like a man, when he is diseased, his activities are differing from the man who is cured and healthy
- Bhakti means purificatory process. We are impure. Because we are impure, therefore we are undergoing so many tribulations, so many miserable condition of life
- Bhakti, devotional service, is not easy, but at the same time very easy, one moment's business, one moment's. But I must be willing
- Bhakti-marga cannot be checked by any material impediments. Simply we have to become very serious and sincere. So I am very glad to see that you are doing nice
- Bhakti-yoga process, if you can execute one percent, oh, it becomes asset, and next life you are guaranteed, because you will be given the facility of executing bhakti-yoga further. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, in every sastra
- Bhakti-yoga therefore requires little tapasya, not playthings. Tapasya, that, "We are addicted to so many sinful activities. We must give it up." That is tapasya
- Bhakti-yoga, karma-yoga, jnana-yoga - there are different names of yogas - but actual fact is how to link up our lost relationship with the Supreme Lord. That is called yoga. Yoga indriya-samyamah
- Bhaktivedanta has no difficulty. The things are already there. Simply you have to present them as it is. That's all. You become Vaisnava. Where is the difficulty? And as soon as you change, become over-intelligent, everything spoiled
- Bhaktivinoda Thakura is warning, "My dear friends, why you are being carried away by the waves of this material ocean?" Mayar bose, jaccho bhese', khaccho habudubu bhai. This is Vaisnava's desire
- Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, "It is very, very difficult to control the tongue." Therefore the tongue should be engaged in service of the Lord, beginning from the tongue
- Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, jada-vidya sab, mayara vaibhava, jibake koroye gadha (Kalyana-kalpa-taru). He has said like that, that so far advancement of material education means that so-called educated man is becoming more, more, more an ass
- Bhaktivinoda Thakura sings, "On account of my fruitive result before the beginning of the creation, I am now in this material ocean." "I do not find any means how to get out of it." This is knowledge
- Bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55): by devotional service. Neither by jnana, yoga, karma, no, that will not touch. You cannot become mad after Krsna by any means except by this devotional service. Therefore, we are so much conservative
- Bhaktya tutosa bhagavan gaja-yutha-paya (SB 7.9.9): "The God can be pleased only by the feelings of your love." That is required. But anyone can do that, provided he feels the gratitude that, - God is so kind
- Bharata-bhumite haila manusya-janma yara (CC Adi 9.41). The Indians' duty is to carry the message and give it to the other people, and then they'll do
- Bhaumasura, by the grace of Lord Siva, he got one thousand hands. And he wanted to fight, but he was so powerful that nobody would dare to come before him to fight
- Bhava means assimilation - "Oh, Krsna is so great." This is called bhava. That is real understanding, when you understand really this bhava stage. Bhava-bhakti
- Bhava means love, feelings, feelings of love, - Oh, Krsna is so great
- Bhaya means "to become afraid of." That is material nature. We are always afraid of. Therefore we have military strength. Your country is very busy in that way, how to protect. Everyone should be, protection
- Bhinna means the quality different; not of the same quality. Apareyam - This is inferior quality, but there is another, superior quality, jiva bhuta, and that is living entity
- Bhisma is accepted as mahajana, as authority. And what was his business? He wanted to kill Krsna and Arjuna. Just try to understand. Therefore, we have to follow only the instruction of mahajana; otherwise, we'll be bewildered
- Bhisma is stated as one of the authority, mahajana. But what did he do? He fought against Krsna and pierced with his arrows. You know, we have stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Bhisma understood later on that the five arrows were taken by Arjuna by trick. So still, he promised that, - Even without those five weapons, today I shall kill Arjuna
- Bhisma, everyone knows. Bhisma is one of the authorities, authorities of religious principle. There are twelve authorities
- Bhisma, he's authority. Next to Krsna, Bhisma is one of the authorities. There are twelve authorities: svayambhur naradah sambhuh kapilah kumaro manuh, prahlada bhisma janakah (SB 6.3.20). They are the authorities of piety, religion
- Bhisma, the Grandfather Bhisma, he is also mahajana. Therefore Bhisma's instruction in the Bhagavata should be taken seriously. And on his deathbed he instructed Maharaja Yudhisthira, and Krsna also heard
- Bhismadeva, while he was dying . . . he was grandfather of the Pandavas. So when the Pandavas came to see him on his deathbed, so he cried that, "These boys, my grandsons, they're all very pious
- Bhogi, because he eats more, so he evacuates twice. And one who evacuates more than twice, he's rogi, diseased. Yogi, bhogi, rogi. So everything has got routine work. Saucam. So you'll feel healthy
- Bhrasta means one, yoga-bhrasta, one who is prosecuting the yoga system. Yoga system means the transcendental process by which we realize ourself, we link up our life with self-realization. That is called yoga
- Bhuri means this abdomen, and muri means this head. If you keep your head and the belly very clear, then you are free from all disease
- Big bellows in blacksmith shop - that is also made of skin, like our body is made of skin. It has got a big nose, & breathing is coming, "bhas-ghans, ghans-bhas." if you want to increase your life, there are many living entities, living more than you
- Big mudhas who simply falsely thinking that, "I have become now liberated by meditation or by some jugglery of powers," so they have been described in the Bhagavata as vimukta-maninah
- Big scholar, Dr. Radhakrishnan, while commenting on the verse man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65), he says that it is not to Krsna the person. Just see
- Big two wars of the world happened only on account of this industry. Do you know that? The cause is the big, big industry
- Big, big brain, scientist, they are dealing (atomic energy). Similarly, this big energy - creation, maintenance and destruction of nature - that nature is called Durga. Durga. Duh. Duh means difficult, and ga means going, or to understand
- Big, big politician, when they enjoy, they bring naked girls and drinking, and this is their standard of enjoyment. So how you can expect good government? It is not possible
- Big, big rsis and yogis, those who are interested in brahma-sukha, or to merge in the Brahman effulgence - the source of Brahman effulgence is here playing: Krsna. - Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda - Bs. 5.40
- Big, big scientists talking all nonsense. No. There is no remedy. They are trying to control birth, so many contraceptive method, even killing their own children, abortion - but still the population increases
- Big, big skyscraper buildings have been constructed, and people are making plans, designs, working very, very hard, lifting so many heavy things. These are very heavy tasks, but they are thinking, - It is very happiness
- Birth control, there are so many medicines. But where is the stoppage of birth? The population is increasing. Neither you can stop death, neither you can stop birth, neither you can stop old age
- Blind faith is never required, neither questions should be in a mood of challenge. Questions or answers should be just to understand. And that should be accompanied with service. This is the mood
- Blind following and absurd inquiries. These things are condemned in this verse. Blind following means, "Oh, there is a svami. So many thousands of people are following. Let me become his disciple." This is called blind following
- Bodies means we have manufactured according to our different mentality. Krsna says that, - You stop all this business. Simply you are migrating, or transmigrating, from one body to another or one planet to another. That will not make you happy
- Bodily comforts means to eat, sleep, to have sense gratification and to defend. So that is being done by the animals also, in their own way. So if we simply devote our time for these animal necessities of our life, then we are no better than animals
- Bodily, you cannot make a man dog or a dog man. That is not possible. But spiritually you can do. Spiritually, a bad man or bad dog even can be elevated to the highest perfection

- Brahma is first born from Visnu. He has got four heads, four hands, two legs, he can speak. It is human form
- Brahma is in charge of something. Indra is in charge of something. The demigods, they're officers. They (Americans) have no information. They say, "It is nature, nature, nature, nature." No nature. They are department
- Brahma is one of the authorities. He's also mentioned in the list of authorities, dvadasa-mahajana. Twelve authorities
- Brahma stolen all the cows and calves and cowherd boys. Stolen, and Krsna immediately created another set. Then Brahma understood that "Here is the Supreme Lord, my master." So these Krsna's associates, they are all also expansion of Krsna
- Brahma visiting Krsna as four-headed Brahma. He was little proud that, "I am the original, first creature of this universe. I have got four heads, four hands." The material nature, the influence of material nature, is like that

- Brahman means the greatest, so as the sky, to our experience, the sky is the greatest. What is the sky? The sky is a combination of small atoms. Do you know that?
- Brahman realization is not complete realization of the Absolute Truth. Neither Paramatma realization is absolute, or the complete understanding. When you realize Bhagavan, then you understand what is Paramatma, what is Brahman, and what is Absolute Truth
- Brahman realization means Krsna's partial realization. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, brahmano 'ham pratistha: "The Brahman, the all-pervading Brahman, impersonal Brahman, is situated in Me." That's a fact
- Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan. The ultimate issue is Bhagavan. So ye yatha mam prapadyante (BG 4.11). Now He's equal to everyone. It is up to the devotees or persons who are trying to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth

- Brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, the division is there, but the whole aim is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Brahmanas, they are interested for spiritual advancement of life. Ksatriyas are not so much interested, neither the vaisyas, and what to speak of the sudras. And in the Kali-yuga almost everyone is a sudra. So how they can be interested
- Brahmanas, they would give advice to the ksatriyas, and ksatriyas, according to their advice, would rule over the citizens. This was the system
- Brahmeti paramatmeti. Some of them are brahma-parayana; some of them paramatma-parayana; some of them are bhakta. It doesn't matter. But they're all spiritual. They have no interest in this material world. Tattva-vit. They know what is truth
- Brahmin could not accept any service, and they (Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami) accepted service of Muhammadan government. So immediately they were ostracized from the brahmin society
- Brahmin is not by birth. So anyone who can understand what is God, he becomes brahmin. The same example: anyone who is highly learned scholar and lawyer, he becomes a high court judge
- Brahmin is so liberal that he wants to make others also scholar. Pathana pathana, yajana yajana. Yajan means worshiping the Lord, and yajan means helping others

- Buddhi means intelligence. One who is very intelligent, he can take to Krsna consciousness. Therefore bhakti-yoga´s another name is buddhi-yoga

- By counteracting with pious activities, when one is completely freed from the resultant action of sinful life, such persons without any doubt, without any hesitation become fixed up in KC and takes Krsna as the life and soul. So this is very difficult
- By cultivation of this Krsna culture, devotional service, you can go back to home, back to Godhead, and you get exactly the same body as Krsna has got. And what kind of body Krsna has got? He has got a body, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha

- By hearing from the lips of such devotees (who have renounced everything for the Supreme Lord), one very quickly develops devotional service provided one practices good conduct of life

- By Kuruksetra, Krsna smashed all Duryodhana and company, and He posted Yudhisthira Maharaja. That is the Krsna's politics. He wanted to smash all these demons and have His own men posted on the royal throne
- By long association with this material nature, we are thinking that "There is no God," "I have nothing to do with God. I am independent of God." We are thinking like that. But actually this is not a fact. The gross material nature is very strong

- By your force, you cannot see Him. But He is pleased, sevonmukhe hi jihvadau, when you accept to serve Him by your tongue, beginning with tongue, kirtanam
- By your ideal life, ideal teaching, you'll get. This Christian or any religion, what is the use of that? It's not at all religion. It's simply rubber-stamp
- By your mental speculation He is indefinable, but if you define God by the definition given by God, then you can define. That is not your definition. You can repeat the definition

- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, taking consideration of the fallen condition of this age, He has recommended this medicine (Hare Krsna), "It is this for you." Not that it is newly invented. We don't invent anything. This is called parampara system
- Caitanya means living force. He says vicara. "Just try to understand by logic, by philosophy, by argument." That is vicara. We are not following Caitanya Mahaprabhu blindly. That is not our position
- Camaras and bhangis can be elevated to hari-jana, but not by rubber-stamp, "Visnu-jana." Visnu-jana and hari-jana, the same thing
- Can you answer why the rainy season is there? Why it is raining? These are periodical changes. Just like there is summer season, winter season, rainy season. Similarly, this material world is subjected to the seasons, or changes. It is called jagat
- Can you say, anyone, that "Here is mind"? No, because it is finer. Then everyone has got some intelligence, but can you see intelligence? No. It is still finer. Similarly, there is soul, which is still finer than the intelligence. So how you can see soul?
- Canakya Pandita also said that those who are advancing in spiritual life, they should place before him that, "Here is death," just before him. And those who are karmis, like ass, they'll always think that, - I'll never die
- Canakya Pandita has says, tyaja durjana-samsargam: "Avoid bad men's company." Bhaja sadhu-samagamam - Always try to associate with learned, what is, sadhu, with devotees
- Canakya Pandita says, if there is no mother at home and the wife is not very suitable, does not speak very nicely with husband, disrespectful, then he is recommended to leave home and go to the forest
- Canakya Pandita says, or somebody, some authority says, that - In a place whether, where there is no friend, no temple and no river, don't go there
- Canakya says - Fighting of the goats, a sraddha ceremony performed by the sages in the forest, sounding in the sky, vibration of cloud, rumbling of the cloud early in the morning, and similarly, fight between husband and wife - don't take it seriously
- Cats and dogs dying, nobody cares. But a human being dying, there are so many ceremonies, mourning, because human life is important
- Cats and dogs have sexual desire in certain period of the year. But a man, although he is trying to be animal, but he has no restriction. He has sexual desire anytime. Therefore he is worse than animal
- Changes (of material body), you can understand, that you had a body like a baby; a body like a child; you had a body like a boy. Now you have got youthful body. Some days after, you will get a body like me. So the body is changing, and I am the same
- Chant Hare Krsna and you will feel. Because this method will cleanse your heart. The more you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra, the more you become fit to understand the philosophy of Krsna consciousness. That is the process
- Chanting Hare Krsna mantra, not for any profit. But go on serving Him. That's all. Material calculation, - Now, this much I have profited
- Chanting is eternal. After you become perfect, you will also chant more loudly
- Chanting is so effective that it benefits even the animals, beasts, birds, insects, everyone. Hm. Go on. This is the best welfare activity
- Chanting of Hare Krsna mantra means to come in contact with the Supreme Lord and increase my love for Him. That is the point
- Chanting of Hare Krsna mantra, should not be taken like that, that "I am chanting Hare Krsna mantra so that my material condition will improve." Not like that
- Chanting of Hare Krsna with 108 beads means that we are surpassing the study of 108 Upanisads. Another meaning is that there are 108 damsels who served Krsna with all respect at Vrndavana. So that is also another explanation, 108
- Chanting of holy name is so powerful that he does not require even dependence on those ceremonies. Immediately he becomes - purified
- Cheating Krsna is no business. That is to be punished. You cannot cheat Krsna. But if by accident, knowingly or unknowingly, you have done something which is not good, that is excused
- Cheating religions, they are teaching that "We can create God. As we can create television, similarly, we can create God." They are teaching, "This is dharma." Just see how degraded they have been. And these things are going on as dharma
- Child will think the motorcar is running automatically. But a sane man will understand that there is a driver. So persons who deny the existence of God are like that
- Children, they're allowed to play, but under certain condition. So we all, we are all children of God, Krsna. So we have come here to enjoy, to lord it over the material nature. That is the tendency. So Krsna has given us the facility
- Christ is very ideal character, but these Christians, they . . . Not dignified him - degraded
- Christ says that, "One should be meek and humble to go to back to home" It is not? So this is for everyone It is not limited within the Christian community
- Christ says, "Thou shall not kill." They decided, "Let us kill on and on, and open scientific slaughterhouse. And if there is any sin, then Christ will suffer. That's all. He has taken the agency on suffering." Very good conclusion. No
- Christ says: "Thou shall not kill." This is applicable to every man, not only that the Christians should follow. Unfortunately, even the Christians, they do not follow. They are killing. So how there can be religious life?
- Christ, he's speaking of kingdom of God. So if you follow Christ, there is hope that you go to kingdom of God. But if you don't follow, you simply rubberstamp, "I am Christian," then it is useless
- Christianity or this "nity" we are not concerned. We are concerned with the philosophy. We are not concerned with a particular type of faith
- Circumstantially the water becomes solid, ice, but immediately it melts, similarly, our dharma is to serve, because we are part and parcel
- Civilized means to raise oneself from the animal status of life to the human status life. That means rules and regulations
- Cleanliness, always clean, taking thrice bath. Cloth clean, mind clean, body clean, activities clean, desire clean, thinking clean - everything clean. No contamination. This is the test
- Cleverly they are inventing so many things. What is the idea? The idea is, "We shall live forever and enjoy sense gratification more and more." This is called atheistic advancement of civilization
- Combination of material thing, a big, nice airship, is moving. There are iron, aluminium, wood and petrol, so many other things. But this combination of material things, if it is kept in one place, in many thousands of years it will not fly
- Comfortable life means thousands and thousands of better conditions of life than on this planet. You go to the moon planet, sun planet, Mahar-loka, Jana-loka, Tapa-loka, Siddha loka, Brahma-loka - there is so many. So you can elevate there also
- Comfortable or uncomfortable, it doesn't matter. If Krsna wants it, I must do it. - That is wanted. As soon as I discriminate, "This is comfortable, this is uncomfortable," that is material
- Comfortable situation is also sense gratification. Any situation, we have to serve Krsna. That is Krsna consciousness. Not that, "If it is comfortable to me, I shall do it." That is sense gratification
- Common people have joined. Everyone. We are opening centers so that any common man from any caste, any creed, any nation, they can come and join
- Common platform is not very difficult to understand, because religion means to know God and abide by the orders of God. That is religion
- Communism, the idea is nice. But they are imperfect. Their philosophy is that everything belongs to the state
- Communist Party is always disturbing to the government, similarly the demons, the atheist class of men, they're always disturbing to God. How they can gain the benediction from God?
- Communist say that, "We shall give you bread. Why you waste your time with so-called religion?" The politician says that "You want to be happy, there is technology. Why you are going to pray to God? This is all nonsense." They are thinking that
- Computer. That is mechanical, the calculating. The calculating process is there, but by nice machine, it has shortened. That process is Krsna's energy. He is so expert that it is just like computers - immediately comes. Not that the process is not there
- Conditioned soul means they have forgotten Krsna, they are suffering. That's a fact. Tri-tapa yantana, adhibhautika. But because they are illusioned, they are thinking, "We are enjoying." This is called illusion
- Confirmed by Lord Caitanya, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa: that real constitutional position of the living entity, especially of the human being, is to accept servitorship of Krsna
- Consciousness is individual. You can feel the pains and pleasure of your body, and your friend also can feel the pains and pleasure of his body. I can feel pains and pleasure of my body. So this feeling of pains and pleasure is consciousness
- Consciousness is spread all over the body. Suppose I pinch in any part of your body - you feel some pain, and that is consciousness, any part of your body
- Considering the present status, everything has topsy-turvy - therefore to bring everything on the equal level of high standard and perfectional standard is Krsna consciousness
- Constitution may be little different, but obedience to the state is absolute necessity. Similarly, religion may be different according to time, country, position, understanding, but obedience to God must be there. Otherwise it is not human civilization
- Contaminated, conditioned soul, their senses are imperfect. They cannot see things as they are. Simply they theorize: "It may be like that." So much they can say. So "It may be like that," that is not knowledge. Knowledge, definite. There is no mistake
- Control is there, but they do not know what kind of control should be there. The control should be, as we are prescribing, "You cannot take anything without Krsna's prasada." That is real control. Then you'll be happy
- Control the breathing, it requires celibacy, no sex life. Yoga-indriya-samyamah. That is called yoga, not that showing some gymnastic and smoking and yoga system. This is going on
- Cow dung - we have discussed this point many times - where it is impure, that it makes pure
- Cow dung is pure. If there is any impure place, if you smear over it cow dung, then it is pure. - That is also injunction of the Vedas
- Cow dung is stool. In one place it is said stool is impure; in another place it is said cow dung is pure. Now, one may argue, "What is this, contradiction?" But you have to believe it. That is Veda
- Cow dung is the stool of an animal. Even if we touch my own stool, I take bath. But cow dung, it is said, it is pure. If there is anywhere impure, you smear the cow dung; it will be pure
- Cow dung is, according to Vedic injunction, is pure. In India it is actually used as antiseptic
- Cowherds boy, they were equally on the same level. Although not same level, but they were given the opportunity to speak, to stand, to talk, to eat on the same level with Krsna. Now our position is different
- Criminal means disobeying the Lord or His order. They are materially criminal. Therefore Krsna, the Supreme Lord, comes at times, at interval, when many, many millions of years have turned
- Cultivation of knowledge is also not easy for everyone. That is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita. - Out of many millions of persons, human being, one may be interested to know - What is the aim of life? Why I am suffering
- Cultivation of knowledge required. He must come to the senses, that "I am suffering. Every time I commit some criminality, I am punished. This is not very palatable. So why I cannot stop it?" This is the beginning of human life
D
- Daily if he stops breathing for three hours, that means daily he saves three hours time. So in hundred years so much time. So in this way, the yogi can live for three hundred years, four hundred years, six hundred years. This is called yogic success
- Daily or alternately, "Myaaah, myaah." And there is religious process that the head should be eastern side and the throat should be cut up. And when the animal dies, bifurcate, cleanse it and the skin and everything
- Daiva means generally visnu-bhakta. Visnu means the Supreme Lord who is all-pervasive. Everywhere He is present. Krsna, the Supreme Lord, He is Visnu also in His Paramatma feature
- Daiva-netrena means by superior examination. That is called the day of judgment in the Bible. Whether this soul is going to hell or heaven, that is the day of judgment
- Daivi sampat means the characteristics by which they can make very easy progress for liberation and spiritual realization
- Daksa means very expert. Any business you give to Vaisnava, he will be able to do it very nicely
- Daksa sraddadhanah: faithful. Faithful to whom? To the spiritual master. Whatever he says, the brahmacari should take it: "Yes, it is my life and soul." That is the explanation given by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura
- Dancing they have got - Krsna dancing, always. Painting they have got, singing they have got, arts, literature. We have got eighty books like this, four hundred pages. Pure life - no meat-eating, no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling. Finished
- Dark well means a very deep ditch, well, but it is covered with grass. You cannot know that there is a deep well, but while walking, you may fall down within it
- Darsi means who has got eyes to see what is the Absolute Truth. Don't go to a blind man, who has no knowledge about the Absolute Truth
- Darwin's theory of evolution, that is not perfectly explained. It is explained in the Vedic literature. So just a tree is standing for ten thousands of years, we had to pass through this life. But there is no perfect knowledge
- Darwin's theory: by evolution you come to the human form of life. Accepting that from monkey one becomes a human being, so what is after this form? That they have no information
- Daya means to become compassionate to the fallen, one who has fallen, one who is in distress. So actually, the whole population at the present moment, they're fallen
- Death is already there, and you are utilizing atomic energy for death, that's all. So what is your credit? You use atomic energy that you'll not die. Then it is control
- Death is already there. You might have atomic energy or no atomic energy - you have to die. By atomic energy you are accelerating the same problem of death, that's all
- Death is nothing but sleeping for seven months. That's all. Sleeping for seven months, that is called death
- Death is sleeping for seven months. That's all. For three months without any consciousness. Or, say, seven months. Death means forgetfulness
- Death means we shall sleep for seven months continually, and when we get up I see another body. That is birth and death
- Death means, according to Vedic literature, sleeping for seven months. Just as I give up this body, I have to enter into the womb of some kind of mother. These things are explained in the Vedic literatures. I am not manufacturing
- Dehe means in this body, and dehi means the person who is within this body, he is there, from that pealike form. Because my form, my measurement, is so small that we cannot see. It is not possible. It is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair
- Dehi, within the body, the living spirit, or living soul, is sitting there. And because we are under the control of maya, we wanted it, such a body, so Krsna has given
- Deity is installed by the authorized person and it is worshiped according to authorized methods. So it is not idol. Idol worship, you imagine something and you, some doll or idol, and do in your own way, that is idol worship
- Deity worship is open for everyone so that, knowingly or unknowingly, anyone who is coming here, he is becoming pious. Krta-punya-punjah (SB 10.12.11). Because Krsna worship, or God worship, is not possible for persons who are sinful
- Deity worship will help you in the path of bhagavat-marga, and the bhagavat-marga will help you in the pancaratrika-vidhi. So combine together; make progress
- Demigods means they have got very, very long duration of life. They are more intelligent; their standard of living is so much better. So these things we have got information. If they describe the moon planet like that, it is very difficult to follow
- Demons are generally very powerful. They are so-called educated. So many things they have got. But the test is: if he has no Krsna consciousness or God consciousness, he is demon. That's all. That is the study of demon
- Demons means flesh-eaters. They are doing even, I mean to say drunkards, gamblers, women-hunters. These are the qualifications of the demons. Because demons means materialistic. That's all
- Demons say, jagad ahur anisvaram: "There is no controller." The scientist thinking, he's practically doing in the laboratory, that he is a spiritual soul
- Desire means you have to accept different types of body. It is . . . you cannot make any permanent settlement. That is not possible. And that is also your fault
- Desire there must be. But when it is desired for Krsna, it is purified desire, and when it is desired for non-Krsna, then it is impurified
- Detroit temple, that building was constructed at a cost of two million dollars, say some fifty years, sixty years ago. And we purchased it at three hundred thousand dollars
- Deva means who are very highly advanced in knowledge. They are called God conscious, Krsna conscious, such men. There are different planets also for different kinds of living entities
- Devahuti proposed to her father, - My dear father, I wish to marry the Kardama Muni. He is practicing yoga in such and such place. If you will take me there, then I shall be very pleased
- Devahuti says, gataham saranam saranyam: - You are the only shelter. Therefore I am taking shelter. And You can cut my attachment for this material life. And why You shall do it? Because I am Your eternal servant
- Developed consciousness means to understand the Absolute Truth. That is the special function of the human being
- Devotee does not require anything. Why it shall be? Krsna gives him all protection
- Devotee means to hear about Krsna, to chant the glories of Krsna, to think of Krsna, to offer fruits and flowers to Krsna. In this way, this is called devotional service
- Devotee must rise early in the morning, by four o'clock. By five o'clock, he must finish his bathing and other things. Then he takes to chanting and so on. Twenty-four hours' business must be there. So sleeping is not good
- Devotee never asks to Krsna anything. He simply asks for the opportunity to serve His servant. Prahlada Maharaja says: "Give me opportunity to serve Your servant." He doesn't want to serve Him directly
- Devotee or not devotee, by eating krsna-prasadam, he'll gradually become devotee. As yesterday I explained that krsna-bhakti begins from the tongue, If you engage your tongue in the service of the Lord, then Lord manifests
- Devotee will have to meet so many enemies. Just like we have got this from the life of Lord Jesus Christ. When he was being killed by others, he said, to excuse them, "God, they do not know what they are doing." That is devotee's position
- Devotees who are fighting against maya, their facility is first concern. They're fighting, trying to save the people from the onslaught of material energy
- Devotees, they want to decrease the fever. Therefore the highest, ideal life, according to Vedic civilization: brahmanas, Vaisnavas. They decrease their demands of the body. Minimum demand
- Devotional service are discharged in nine different ways: To hear about the Lord from proper source; & kirtanam, to glorify the Lord; smaranam, meditating upon the Lord; pada-sevanam, to engage oneself in the service; arcanam, worshiping
- Devotional service begins from jihva, tongue. This tongue means can be utilized in devotional service in two ways, namely by chanting the holy name of God and by tasting prasadam
- Devotional service means submission, surrender. First of all surrender. Sarva-dharman parityajya: "You cannot understand Me by your so-called karma, jnana, yoga or dhyana. No, it is not possible." Bhaktya mam abhijanati. Bhaktya means to surrender
- Devotional service so nice, that even if you fall down, there is not very great loss. Great loss means you get human body, not an animal body
- Dhanyena dhanavan. If you have got grain, then you are rich. And if you have got cows, then you are rich. This is the standard of Vedic richness. Dhanyena dhanavan gavayo dhanavan
- Dharma and adharma . . . Our real dharma is to serve God. That is our real duty. And as soon as we neglect this permanent service or occupation, then we are liable to be punished
- Dharma artha kama moksa (SB 4.8.41, CC Adi 1.90). And at last, to become liberated, moksa. Moksa means to get out of the entanglement of material miserable condition of life
- Dharma does not mean a kind of faith, blind faith. Dharma means the real characteristic. For example, just like water is liquid. This is the characteristic of water. That is dharma. Stone is solid. That is the characteristic of stone. That is dharma
- Dharma does not mean I manufacture at my home some religion and it becomes dharma. No. That kind of religion is rejected. Dharmah projjhita kaivato 'tra - That kind of cheating religion is rejected
- Dharma is a permanent occupation of a certain thing. Just like sugar. Sugar is sweet. You cannot make sugar as salty. Or pepper is pungent, hot. You cannot make it sweet. So try to understand the word dharma, that it cannot be changed
- Dharma means constitutional. Dharma does not mean, as it is stated in some of the English dictionary, "a kind of faith." Faith may be blind. That is not dharma
- Dharma means fact. Dharma is not imagination, or religion does not mean something imagined - I imagine something; you imagine something
- Dharma means original, constitutional position. That is dharma. I have several times said. . . Just like water. Water is liquid. That is its dharma
- Dharma means the laws given by God. That is the simple description of dharma. If you do not know what are the laws of God, then that does not mean you'll not be punished. Innocence of law is no cause for excuse
- Dharma means to be situated in one's position. That is called dharma. dharma is not a kind of faith. Faith is sometimes blind. That is not dharma
- Dharma means to become servant of Krsna, and adharma means to become servant of maya. This is the distinction between dharma and adharma, religious and irreligious
- Dharma, religion, or the characteristic of human being, there are so many, but sa vai pumsam paro dharmo, that is superior quality of religion or characteristic
- Dharma, to become religious, the purpose is to go up to the point of mukti. Dharma artha kama moksa (SB 4.8.41, CC Adi 1.90), gradually. Gradually, step by step
- Dharma-ksetra everyone knows. Kuruksetra is still dharma-ksetra. Everyone goes there for religious performances. Where is the difficulty? Why you make it difficult
- Dharma-samsthapanarthaya. He has come. He came to establish real religious principle. Real religious principle means to accept the codes of Krsna. Dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam - SB 6.3.19
- Dharma-samsthapanarthaya: "I come to reestablish the religious principles." But again He says, sarva-dharman parityajya, parityajya that any religion which does not teach how to surrender to God, that is not religion
- Dharmajnah means to know, just like good citizen means he knows what are the laws of the state. That is good citizen. If you know the laws of the state, you do not drive your car against the order of the state - somewhere it is left, somewhere it is right
- Dharmasya hy apavargyasya. To become religious means how to counteract these five principles. That is dharma
- Dhira means "sober," one who thinks, "What is my condition? What I am? I am this body or I am something beyond this body? What I am meant for? Why I have come here? What is God? What I am?" So many things, they are a subject matter to think
- Dhrta-vrato mrduh, mild, gentleness. This is human life, not to live like cats and dogs. That is not human life. Real human life, the picture is here. One must be trained up to all these qualification
- Dhruva Maharaja - he was pious, born in a very pious family, and by family quarrel he went to worship the Supreme Lord Visnu in the forest, aspiring material opulence
- Dhruva Maharaja was thinking of becoming happy by getting a great kingdom, and ultimately when he met the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he found the object of love. He said, - No. I don't want anything. I have got now everything. I have seen You
- Diba-nisi hiya jwale: "Day and night, my heart is burning on account of this poisonous effect of material existence." And taribare na koinu upay. - But I did not seek any remedy for this
- Dictating means you voluntarily become subjected to the dictation of this material nature. She cannot dictate if you are strong
- Dictionary is not the standard. The standard is the book itself. That is our preaching
- Did you not say that we have got something; the pleasure derived from all these things, that is very inferior? We have got pleasure of superior quality. Therefore we have been able to give it up. That is the fact
- Difficulty is mind; otherwise there is no difficulty. I am foolish, otherwise Krsna is visible to everyone
- Diksa cannot be offered to a sudra. But in this age, Kali-yuga, it is the statement of the sastras that in the Kali-yuga most of the population are sudras. Kalau sudra sambhavah. How they can be initiated
- Direct perception is speculation. Dr. Frog is speculating what is Atlantic Ocean. He is in the well, three-feet well, and some friend inform him, "Oh, I have seen vast water." "What is that vast water?" - Atlantic Ocean
- Directions should be taken from scriptures. But there are many scriptures. So acarya means, just like Gosvamis, they would read all the scriptures and take the essence of it and give it to his disciple that, - You act like this
- Directly it is not possible to worship the Supreme Lord. One has to go through the acarya. Therefore Vyasadeva is the original acarya
- Disciple may understand that, "Here is a person whom I can accept as my guru," and the guru also can see that, "Here is a person who is fit for becoming my disciple." Then the business is nice
- Disciple should be intelligent enough to inquire from the spiritual master how to become advanced. So to become advanced means sadhu marganu-gamanam, to follow the acaryas
- Disciplic succession means the original lessons which was given by Krsna, that should be transmitted from the original person to his disciple
- Discuss this point. What is the difficulty? Why people are not Krsna conscious? But the process is very simple. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji - BG 18.65
- Diseased man, he cannot enjoy life. His enjoyment of life is a false enjoyment. When he's cured, when he's in healthy life, then his enjoyment is bona fide
- Distress and happiness, they're already destined, according to our body. We have discussed this point. Take, for example, you American boys and girls: you have got a body by your previous activities. So your standard of living is better than other country
- Divine nature has been explained in various ways from the very beginning (of BG). Now Krsna is explaining about the demonic nature. The first characteristic of demonic nature is they do not know what should be proper and improper action
- Do not consider that it is ordinary box. It is the whole post office. But for your convenience the postal department has come before you like a small box. Similarly everyone knows that this murti is made of stone or wood or metal. But it is not that
- Do not have intoxicants, do not eat meat, do not play gambling, speculate, you promise before Krsna and before the spiritual master, before the Vaisnavas, so many witnesses, and if you violate, then you can understand what you are doing
- Do not think that, "There was no work; automatically it comes." No. There was work, but it is so subtle and perfect. The same thing: so many things are working, going on within the machine, that simply I push it on and it acts
- Do something the people will be benefited, actual. And the whole instruction is there. Then it will be successful
- Do you think that I have to accept the astronomers blindly? If there are innumerable suns, why they are not present at night? Why you are suffering from want of one sun?
- Do you think that if you make zero, zero, zero, zero, million times, has it any value? How do they conclude from zero such a management, cosmic manifestation has come
- Do you think that you do not love anyone and you become peaceful? No. How it is possible? Therefore, if you love God, then you can love everyone. And if you don't love God, then you cannot love anyone. Because He's the center
- Do you think these people were coming to offer these 100,000 rupees daily to a stone? And the acaryas established this temple for bluffing these people?
- Doctor is also as good a scientist as you are. If you do not have faith in the doctor, why do you claim people to have faith on you? Where is the proof that you'll be able? Why you are asking us blindly to follow you
- Doctor says that "You don't have sex life. That will bring your death." Does it mean sex life is bad? The tuberculosis person, for him it is bad, not for the sane man, not for the healthy man
- Doctor, you have got very good patients. Your practice is very nice. - So his name was Suvahi. He's Muhammadan. So, - Sir, it is not my credit. If you want my practical experience, I'll say you with confidence I prescribe somebody some medicine, it fails
- Doctors, medical practitioners, they first of all ply their knife on the dead body and find out where are the nerves, not a living man. When they are fully practiced, then they are allowed to practice surgical operation
- Does Bhagavan comes under maya? No. Krsna says, mama maya. Maya is the maidservant of Krsna, and we are servant of maya. So how we can become Bhagavan? This is common sense
- Does he (a mahatma) follow this devotional service blindly? No. Jnatva. Jnatva means - knowing perfectly that I (Krsna) am the source of everything
- Does it mean that "I shall become submissive, and whatever my guru will say, I will have to accept?" No. Pariprasnena. Tad viddhi. Here is the pariprasna. Sri-raja uvaca. Ask him. That is intelligent. Intelligently serve
- Does it mean that we are offering our obeisances to a metal doll? We have become so fool? No. We take it, - Here is Krsna personally standing
- Does it require your lamp to show the sunlight? The sunlight is itself so illuminous that everyone can understand, "This is sunlight." If somebody brings some lamp, "I will show you the sun," sun is already visible. Why your lamp is required?
- Dog is also begetting children, man is also begetting. What is the difference? The difference is man should be responsible that, - This child who has come to me, this is his last birth. No more birth again
- Dog is your best friend. In India dog is untouchable. So "Man is known by his company." If your best friend is dog, then what you are?
- Dog's another business is that he is seeking always master. Unless he finds out a good master, it is a street dog and it has no place
- Dog, he does not know anything else. He simply knows that he is this body. But a human being, by cultivation of knowledge, by logic, by argument, he can understand that - I am not this body
- Dog, unless he finds out a very nice master, it is street dog, loitering in the street
- Dogs and cats, they have no idea that the dog is not this body. It is a soul also. It has taken a dog's body. Cat is also a soul, but by his karma, by his destiny, by his past work, he has to accept this body
- Doing it (tiny flyover) for unlimited years. When they will be finished, there is no guarantee. Here (Australia) in your country they do, they have contract, - Yes, within six months
- Don't associate with this material nature. If you associate with this material nature, then what will be the result? Now, karanam guna-sango 'sya sad-asad-yoni-janmasu
- Don't be carried away by the nonsense philosophy that "These people are worshiping idol." It is not idol. He is Krsna Himself. Always same. He has come to you just you can see Him. That's all
- Don't be cheaters. Krsna knows whether you are cheater or you are sincere. If you are sincere, then He will give you intelligence how you will make progress
- Don't be falsely puffed up. Follow the acarya's instruction and try to make yourself perfect, mature. Then it will be very easy to fight out maya. Yes
- Don't be very much happy when you are in happy condition of life; neither you become mad in miserable condition of life. Chant Hare Krsna and make your life success. That is required
- Don't bring in any religion. A type of religion is made, "Believe something blindly." So that is not our concern. We are talking of the science. If I say that stone is also Krsna, is not that the science?
- Don't disbelieve. It is in the sastra. So there are hellish planet, hellish birth, 8,400,000 species of birth. So we have to take information from the sastra. Don't be foolish
- Don't falsely claim that "Because I am qualitatively one with God, therefore I am God." No. You may be god. God means controller. But you are not the Supreme God. The Supreme God is Krsna
- Don't falsely claim that you are God, you are everything, you are moving this world. Why? Actually are you doing that? Then why do you falsely claim like that? What is your answer?
- Don't hear from any rascal. Hear from Bhagavan and take it and accept it. Then gradually your existence will be purified

- Don't make this life of fifty years, sixty years or seventy years or hundred years as all in all. You have got a continuous life of transmigration from one body to another. It is going on. You must know that
- Don't remain in the ignorant stage of life. That is called sudra. Try to become brahmana. That (Satyam param dhimahi) is the meaning
- Don't take it (Krsna consciousness movement) as a sectarian religious system. It is very scientific understanding for spiritual life
- Don't take it (Krsna consciousness movement) that it is a type of sectarian religion. No. It is a culture. It is meant for every human being
- Don't take it (Krsna consciousness) as a sectarian movement. Don't misunderstand this movement as a CIA movement. These are all foolishness
- Don't take this movement as something bogus. It is very scientific, authorized, and the process is very easy
- Don't think it (Krsna consciousness movement) is any sectarian religion. It is a science. It is a culture. You are trying to educate people how to become Brahmin
- Don't think it is a very hard job: "Oh, Krsna is so great personality, God, and how one can become His representative?" No. Anyone can become His representative, provided he follows the Krsna's instruction
- Don't think that "These boys are brought here. They're not giving any education, academic. They do not know what is history, what is geography." They know little, little; not very much
- Don't think that after the official ceremony of initiation your business and my business is finished. No. The business begins. It is not the finishing; it is the beginning
- Don't think that it (Krsna consciousness movement) is a sectarian religion. We are making people God conscious. It doesn't matter whichever religion you may belong, we want to see whether you are actually God conscious
- Don't think that we are after vegetarian, nonvegetarian. No. That is not our philosophy. Because either you take vegetable or you take meat, you are killing. And you have to kill, otherwise you cannot live. That is nature's way
- Don't think that, "I am very learned scholar. I can manufacture my own way how to find out God," or "I am God," and so on, so on. This practice should be given up
- Don't try to be predominator. Oh, then immediately fall down, because you are not predominator. It is a false claim that, "I want to predominate. I am God. I am predominator. I am this. I am that." These are all rascaldom
- Don't try to make economic development, dharmartha-kama-moksa (SB 4.8.41). Don't try to become a religious person also. Religious person means strictly following the rules and regulation of varnasrama-dharma. That is called religious
- Don't waste time for unnecessary questions and answers. But we have to do something sometimes. But that is not the way - unless one surrenders fully, pranipatena, and renders service
- Don't waste your time. Simply always pour in, give aural reception to the message of Urukrama. Don't waste a single moment. This should be your life's policy
- Don't you see physical planets? The sun is not a physical planet? What do you mean by physical? So don't you see existing so many planets, at night, innumerable? What they are?
- Don't you think there is need of artistic brain and scientific brain? If you simply say: "It is nature," that is not good explanation. But the Vedas gives us information, "No." - The Absolute Truth is He from whom everything is being generated
- Don’t accept Hare Krsna mantra as a counteracting agent. No. We have to come to the pure chanting. Of course, in the beginning, because we do not know, we may commit offenses
- Down, when you start your plane, it may be very dark, and then, when you go beyond the sky, seven miles above, then you see there is sunlight
- Dravidian culture. Dravida. They are non-Aryans. Just like these Africans, they are not Aryans. Now they are mixing up with European and American
- Due to our forgetfulness, we are struggling for existence to get happiness, but because we do not know what is the source of happiness, it is called struggle for existence. This is going on
- Due to some of his past misdeeds he has been born in that way. But that is not the prime responsibility. The prime responsibility is that everyone is open to accept Krsna consciousness
- Duhkha-gramad means volumes of miserable condition of life. One can avoid volumes of miserable condition of life simply by chanting
- Duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). It is stated by Krsna Himself that this is a place only for misery, but under the influence of maya, we are accepting all miserable conditions of life as happiness. This is called maya
- Duhkhalayam means the place of miseries. If the place is made for miseries, how you can make this place as full of pleasure, if God made like that
- Duhkhalayam means the place of miseries. We are thinking that we have made a paradise, but actually the place is miserable, because the threefold miseries, they are there
- Durga means this is like a fort. We are kept within this, and the superintendent is Durga. Therefore Durga's picture is ten hands, ten directions, with different kinds of weapon protecting
- During that seven months (while entering into the womb of mother and manufacturing another body), we do not know what is happening. That is death. Death means that. Otherwise, there is no death. The spirit soul is eternal
- During this period, I mean to say, quitting this body, entering into another body and to develop that body, come to the consciousness point of view, it takes seven months. So death means sleeping for seven months
- During time of war, the government takes care of the soldiers first, and the civilians, their eating, their supply is controlled. But the soldier's supply is never controlled, because he is giving good, better service to the state
- During your remaining balance of life, you just become trained up how to become a perfect, pure devotee. Then as soon as you give up this body, immediately you're transferred - tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam etikaunteya
- Duryodhana received him (Arjuna) as his brother - My dear brother, you have come? What do you want? You want the kingdom without fighting? Therefore you have come? I can give you. I can stop this fighting if you want without fighting
- Duryodhana thought that, "Krsna will not fight, and He's prepared to give me soldiers," he took the soldiers, and Arjuna said: "No, I want You." So this was the division
- Duryodhana, by the blessings of his mother, his whole body became iron-like, solid. So by beating by the Bhima, it was not easy
- Duskrtina means always engaged in sinful activities. They have got brain, but their brain is being utilized only for sinful activities. Krti means good brain, and duskrti means brain is being utilized for sinful act. Therefore they are mudha
- Duskrtina means very intelligent, but the intelligence is being misused in mischief-mongering. Krti means very nice brain, but duskrti - the brain is used for creating misgivings
- Duskrtina, "Wrong genius." That means the materialistic persons, scientists, they're genius. They have discovered very wonderful machine, wonderful things. They are genius - but duskrtina: not for the welfare of the human's society but for condemning
- Duskrtinah means one who has got merit, but the merit is being engaged for sinful activities. Just like the atomic bomb. One who has manufactured this, he has got merit, certainly, great scientist. But how he has used his merit? To kill men, that's all
E
- Each and every one of us is individual soul, and our consciousness is limited within the body. Similarly, there is another consciousness and another body. That body is universal body, and that consciousness is universal
- Each and every sinful activity, there is punishment. They do not believe in the next life, but they can see practically in this life that if you violate a little laws of nature, you'll be punished immediately
- Each planet is differently constituted. The atmosphere of each planet is different from another. This is God's creation. Now as there are innumerable universes, there may be innumerable suns also
- Each verse (from SB) is full of so grave meaning that if you study, it will take months and months together. So they (big, big saintly person) developed such nice brain simply by drinking milk, and fruits
- Early in the morning, even in chilly cold, they will take bath, taking water from the well. Nature's arrangement is, if you take well water, early in the morning, not very hot, but is warm. You can take very easily your bath. This is called naimitti
- Eating - there is enough fruit in the tree. The birds very nicely jumping over from one tree to another, eatings. Sleeping - they have got a nest; at night without disturbance, they sleep. Mating - with the birth they are two eggs, one male and one female
- Eating, sleeping, and during sleeping we sometimes dream, fearing, or without dream, fearing. So we take protection. While sleeping, we close our doors
- Eating, sleeping, sex life and defense - this is the demands of the body. But if I am situated in self-realization, then these demands will not bother me
- Eating, we want palatable dishes. Very good. But you prepare the palatable foodstuff for Krsna. For Krsna you prepare hundreds of palatable . . . don't think that - It is being prepared for me
- Education means to find out the ultimate goal, Absolute Truth. In whatever field of education you may be, that doesn't matter. But try to find out the ultimate. Because in the Vedanta-sutra it is said - What is Absolute Truth
- Education system should be stopped. Rascal, producing rascals and hippies in the university. What is the use of this education?
- Eight people are responsible. One who kills, one who orders, one who purchases, one who cooks, one who. So many. There are eight. Manu-samhita. Eight men are responsible for killing the animals
- Either any yoga system, any spiritual life is called yoga. Yoga means to link. We are part and parcel of the supreme absolute, Brahman or Bhagavan, whatever you call, Paramatma, it doesn't matter. But yoga means linking
- Either he (a devotee) goes to hell or heaven, it doesn't matter. You see? If Krsna goes with him, then it is no longer hell
- Either hell or heaven, that doesn't matter. So how do you go there
- Either make your country very nice, very nice city, very decorated city, or your house, apartment, wife, children, very nice decorated, but you'll not be allowed to remain
- Either my father was lord or I have accumulated some wealth, the government has recognized me as lord . . . under certain condition, I have become lord. But He is adi. Adi means He is the origin. There is nothing beyond Him; therefore adi. Adi, anadi
- Either this body is in living condition or it is in dead condition, a pandita, a learned scholar, one who knows things as they are, he does not take care of this body. Not take care actually; he does not think very seriously about this body
- Either this Christian or Muhammadan, Buddhist religion, Jain religion, this religion, that religion, this "ism," that "ism," they have got history. History, it is limited, within the limited time. But this Vedic religion has no beginning or end
- Either way you say, incarnation of Sadasiva or Maha-Visnu, it doesn't matter. But Advaita Acarya is isvara-tattva. He's not sakti-tattva. He's isvara-tattva. And we are all sakti-tattva. Therefore there is difference. Sakti-saktiman
- Either you accept it directly or you try to understand through philosophy and science. We have got so many books. So kindly take advantage of this movement
- Either you are born in a very big family or nation, or either you have got a very advanced academic education, at the time of death your work will be judged and you will get another body according to that work
- Either you become Rockefeller or Ford in this life, and next life the king of moon planet or sun planet or in any way, up to the Brahmaloka, Lord Brahma, Krsna says, still, you have to die, either come down or remain there - there will be change of body
- Either you follow Bhagavad-gita or Bible as they are, then you become gradually perfect. The difficulty is they do not follow. And still they're claiming, "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am this," "I am that." Rubber stamp. No qualification
- Either you follow the father or you follow the servant, in the absolute world there is no such difference. It is called advaya-jnana, - no duality
- Either you go to Brahmaloka or Patalaloka or any loka, this form or that body, you will have to go through these four principles of material condition: birth, death, old age and disease. That is not possible to overcome
- Either you kill animal or plant, the same sin is there. Just like if you kill an uncivilized and if you kill a big man, the punishment is the same - hanging
- Either you love your family or your country or your society or your wife, your children, by loving there is happiness. But this loving process is not giving us happiness. We are becoming frustrated
- Either you take the shelter of Lord Jesus Christ or Krsna, if you follow his instruction - this is the way of understanding - then you will understand. But if you don't care for his instruction, then you will never understand. This is the process
- Eka, the sun is one, but the sunshine means combination of many small atomic particles. Similarly, God is one, and we, part and parcel of God, we are many. Try to understand this. This is authoritative statement
- Electricity is one energy. It can be utilized for heating and cooling purpose. Similarly, God's energy is one, but when it is utilized for sense gratification, that is material energy, and when it is used for service of God, then it is spiritual energy
- Electricity is power, but it is generated from the powerhouse. People generally understand that electricity is coming from the powerhouse. But the powerhouse is maintained by the resident engineer, a person. That is real understanding
- Elephant can eat forty kilogram at a time. You cannot eat even one kilogram. So different persons, different living entities, they are different meant; they have got different body according to the nature's law. You cannot violate the nature's law
- Elephant has got a particular type of body, and it has got its standard of living. Similarly, there are higher beings also, in the higher planetary system. They are called Svargaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Brahmaloka
- Elephant has got his murti, tiger has got his, the tree has got his, I have got my murti, you have got your murti. In this way there are 8,400,000's of murtis, and each murti there are millions and millions of the living being. This is our position
- Elephant is a big animal, and at least fifty times more than cow, there is flesh. But it is not recommended. But the cow protection is recommended because it has got the miracle food, milk, and from milk you can prepare hundreds of preparation
- End of knowledge should be up to the understanding of the Absolute Truth, the original source of everything. Absolute, not relative
- Engaging that money for increasing further money, increasing further money . . . then one day he may be millionaire. So that millionaire, to become, that is also not undisturbed happiness. - How to keep the money? How to invest it?
- Englishmen were very much eager to know the man who is working, whether he's family man, because a family man will never become irresponsible. And this is very, very much visible fact in India
- Enjoyed means prakrti, or female, and enjoyer means the purusa, or the male. So actually, we all living entities, we are prakrti - we are not purusa. That is stated in the Seventh Chapter
- Enjoyment is our aim also - but real enjoyment. Ramante yogino 'nante satyanande (CC Madhya 9.29). Satyananda. Not this ananda, temporary ananda
- Entire, whole world. They are going on. They are fighting on this bodily concept of life. Of course, you cannot stop fighting. But at least a section of men must be in right knowledge
- Equal vision is possible for a learned man who sees a learned brahmin, a dog, an elephant, a cow on the same basis. What is that basis? Spiritual understanding
- Equal vision means that I don't make any distinction between you and a dog
- Equal vision to all living entities that the self, that active principle, is working in the fish, in the insect, within the tree, within the plant, within the animals, within the birds and within me. This is self-realization
- Especially at the present moment, Kali-yuga, the atheistic persons are almost everyone. They have been described as mandah. Mandah sumanda-matayo manda-bhagya (SB 1.1.10). Manda means bad, very bad
- Especially in America, there are so many nice universities, nice arrangement but unfortunately they are producing hippies. That is the net result, duskrtinah because they are all sinful, and mudhas
- Especially in India, this ideal life of human society should be inaugurated. We should not imitate the Western people, who are now dwindling
- Especially in the Western countries they are habituated to all these things: meat-eating, illicit sex, intoxication, gambling. How they give it up? Association. We are opening so many branches all over the world to give opportunity of association
- Especially in the Western countries, every ten years there is a war: First World War, Second World War. Before that, Hundred Years War, Seven Years War, Trafalgar's war, Waterloo war
- Essence of Vedic knowledge is this Bhagavad-gita. Not only that; it is being spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore it is said, sri-bhagavan uvaca, so nobody could argue
- Eternal kingdom, which is never destructible like this material world, can be approached by amudhah. Amudhah means nonbewildered, one who is not bewildered by the attraction of this false enjoyment
- European, American boys, they were never practiced to it, not in their family or by culture. But because Krsna consciousness is there in everyone's heart, simply by little practice it comes, it develops
- Europeans, Americans, they are over-intelligent. They have intelligence, over-intelligence. Unnecessarily. They manufacture a machine for shaving and they have wasted so much time. But people like it
- Evam parampara-praptam (BG 4.2). You take to this line of disciplic succession from Krsna and try to understand what is Absolute Truth, what is your relationship with you, how you can get out of the threefold miserable condition of life
- Even a devotee is sometimes found not acting properly, but because he has got that unflinching faith and devotion upon Me, - Krsna says: "therefore he is saint." Only for that one qualification - he does not know except Krsna
- Even a medical practitioner, he does not know, he has no knowledge of the spirit soul. He simply studies the mechanical arrangement of the body
- Even a plant you cannot kill, what to speak of bigger animals. If one thinks that "I am killing only plants; therefore I am very pious, vegetarian," no. There is no question of vegetarian, nonvegetarian. They are equally sinful
- Even a very old man, the doctor says that, "It is hopeless now," but still they have to find out some medicine to save him. Just see
- Even an elephant or any other animal can also satisfy the Lord. How? Bhaktya, simply by feelings of love, that's all
- Even big, big educationist, big, big doctors, philosophers, scientists, they have got this bodily concept of life. So Krsna is first of all trying to remove this bodily concept of life
- Even born in a Brahmin family, a woman is taken as woman, not as Brahmin. But Krsna says - Never mind. Even if she is woman, even she is sudra, even she is vaisya, or any other. If anyone is bona-fidely made KC, so his way is open to the path of Vaikuntha
- Even born in kirata family, the aborigines . . . these names are of the candalas. They are not Aryans. Non-Aryans
- Even by killing vegetable, you are also as sinful as killing animal. But because we offer to Krsna, therefore we are not sinful. Krsna wants it
- Even children fight, cats and dogs fight, birds fight, ants fight. We have seen it. So why not human being? The fighting spirit is there
- Even children, who has no politics, no enmity, they fight for five minutes; again they are friends. So the fighting spirit is there. Now, how you should be utilized?
- Even eating, sleeping, mating can be utilized as Krsna consciousness if you follow the rules and regulation. There is facility. And as soon as you deviate, then you become subject to the control of maya
- Even followers of Sankaracarya . . . Sankaracarya does not give anyone any recognition unless he's a sannyasi. That is the strict principle of Sankara-sampradaya
- Even from material prosperity, if one is situated in the modes of goodness, then he can be elevated to the higher planetary system - Svargaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Brahmaloka, Satyaloka
- Even Hare Krsna people. Naviviktasano bhavet, matra svasra duhitra va (SB 9.19.17). It is strictly forbidden - You should not sit alone even with your mother, sister or daughter, what to speak of wife
- Even he is so-called educated, he's not educated. Anyone who does not know about God, he's not educated, he's a rascal. This is our conclusion. Not our conclusion, this is sastra's conclusion
- Even I may become a fool number one, but if I accept . . . mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). Mahajana, those who are authorities, if you follow the authorities, then you understand
- Even if by mistake you do that (smoke), that can be excused, but not willfully, "Now nobody is seeing. Krsna is not here. Let me smoke now." Not that. Krsna's eyes are everywhere. You cannot escape Krsna's eyes
- Even if he (a devotee) has got great amount of wealth, good qualification, everything, he thinks that, - These things are Krsna's. I am His servant. I have got the opportunity to serve Him with this qualification
- Even if he accepts that, "Yes, I shall wash your dishes," the family will not allow him. They will say: "Oh, you are coming from brahmin. How can you wash? We shall go to hell." Just see
- Even if I do not like to kill any animal, still, while walking we are killing many animals, many ants on the street, unwillingly. So that is also taken into account. You cannot kill even an ant. So the karma-kanda is not very safe
- Even if I do not want to become old man, I will be forced to become old man. Suppose nature is offering me a dog's body. If I say, "No, no, I will not accept this," no, you will be forced to accept it. That is nature's law
- Even if I get the kingdom of trailokya - svarga, martya, patala, like that - still, I am not prepared to fight with my kinsmen, what to speak of this earthly planet. - He (Arjuna) decided like that. This is called family attachment
- Even if we accept this place, miserable place, you will not be allowed to live here for long. You will have to quit this stage. Therefore it is called asasvatam. This is our position
- Even if we do not kill animals, simply by eating vegetables, they are also life. It does not mean that vegetarians are not killing. They are also killing
- Even if we kill one mosquito, we are responsible
- Even if we want to act very piously, the danger is not over. There are many instances. There was one king. He was very charitable and he was giving many cows to the brahmanas. So there was some mistake
- Even if you accept all life style, "Let me live here for good, even it is miserable," that will also not be allowed.Duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). Asasvatam means "temporary." For a few years you can live, either in this planet or that planet
- Even if you accept that I shall adjust my miserable condition of life, but still nature will not allow you to live there
- Even if you accept this place of misery to be your permanent residence, that also you cannot have. You have to go out. Today or tomorrow or fifty years after, you have to go
- Even if you are born very lowest, you can go. Krsna is open to everyone. Simply you become qualified, that's all
- Even if you are going to get body next life, you must have a better body. Or the best thing is that you must have an eternal body. If such solution is there, why the human society should neglect it? That is their foolishness
- Even if you are going to some place for Krsna's business, to see the police commissioner or going to the court for some degree or . . . because you are doing - you are concentrating your mind on Krsna - that is called yoga, bhakti-yoga
- Even if you are not successful, then a Krsna conscious person is guaranteed next life human form of life, and that is also either in very rich family or . . . sucinam srimatam gehe (BG 6.41). Sucinam means very pure family
- Even if you are sinful, Krsna says, therefore, "You surrender." Krsna will take charge
- Even if you cannot offer anything . . . I think everyone can offer, I think, a flower can be offered, a little fruit can be offered
- Even if you do not ask, the food is there, we should understand. Because the animals, lower than human being, they do not go to church or to temple to ask for daily bread, but they get their bread
- Even if you do not know any practical work, simply you give your reception, aural reception, submissive aural reception, and understand that what is the nature of God, you'll be free from this material bondage
- Even if you do not understand anything, if you simply sit down silently and give aural reception to the sound vibration of Hare Krsna maha-mantra, you become purified
- Even if you go to the Aga Khan, he does not fight, do you mean to say that you will live forever
- Even if you go to the Brahmaloka, where one twelve hours means thousands of four yugas, but still there is death. So we cannot avoid this
- Even if you go to the highest planetary system, Brahmaloka, then there also punar avartinah, means the four principles of material existence, namely birth, death, old age and disease, they will accompany you. Wherever you go
- Even if you live longer, does it meant that eternal life? That is already there. I'll live for eighty years. Another lives for, say, sixty years. Another lives for hundred years. That is already there
- Even if you make compromise that "Never mind. I am happy now to my estimation," the answer is duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). You cannot make permanent settlement. That is not possible
- Even in birds' life there are different groups, and they select different places, different type of atmosphere, situation. Similarly, all these living entities, 8,400,000 species, the ants also, they too gather together; this is nature's study
- Even in India they protest, because I am making them brahmin. My disciples, they're offered sacred thread. They're regularly made into brahmin
- Even in India, still a brahmana is addressed "Panditji." He may be a fool number one, but he is addressed like that, - Panditji
- Even in our country, in India, the government do not like us, because nowadays, everywhere practically, the demonic people being very much increased, the government is also demonic. So they do not like people in divine nature
- Even in the human form of life they are also trying for the same thing as cats and dogs are trying. The cats and dogs, they are trying to find out where it is, food, where sleeping comfort, where sex life and where defense
- Even in the severest type of cold, they (Six Gosvamis) remain without dress, sitting, only smearing the body with some ashes. They'll take bath in the morning and cover the body with ashes - not very thick
- Even in the spiritual world there is varieties. That varieties are reflected in this material world. Therefore here also, we love somebody as friend, we love somebody as wife, we love somebody as father, we love somebody as mother, like that
- Even in the stool, the worms in the stool, he's also thinking, "I have got so much stool to eat." This same mastership. - I am the monarch of all I survey. I have got so much stool
- Even my stool, I pass in the WC, and immediately I wash and become purified. Oh, this is my stool, personal, and what to speak of other stool? So stool is impure. But the Vedas say that the stool of cow is pure
- Even one has no previous record of service, still, if he meets a pure devotee, he becomes enthusiastic. Therefore preaching required. Otherwise, one can say that whatever he has done last life, he will begin from that
- Even one is able to perform prayascitta, then there is possibility of again falling down unless one is clear consciousness, and that, Krsna consciousness
- Even one is born in low grade family, he has got the facility of joining this Krsna consciousness movement and everyone has the capability to understand it, every human being
- Even one is illiterate. Even he does not know what is ABCD, he can realize God provided he engages himself in this submissive transcendental loving service. And one may be very learned, high scholar, but he cannot realize God
- Even one is married, he wants to love another's wife. Or if the girl married she wants to love another husband. Why? That is there (in the spiritual world). But without inebriety. That is the beauty
- Even one tries to understand Krsna, he does not finish, Krsna says, "Even little beginning of this devotional service can save one person from the greatest danger." Therefore there is great need of KC movement all over the world, to make them intelligent
- Even ordinary things, cleanliness, that is very hygienic. That also they (demons) do not know. Na saucam napi cacarah. They do not know how to behave also. Na satyam: and no truthfulness is there
- Even papa-yoni, degraded birth, even women, sudra and vaisya, they also can become fully Krsna conscious by training. And they can also go back to home, back to Godhead, without any check
- Even President Nixon, he is also full of anxieties: "When I shall be dethroned? When I shall be dethroned? Let me take protection." Anyone, beginning from Lord Brahma down to the small ant
- Even taking that "Anyone who is chanting, let me hear," no. Sanatana Gosvami, "No, don't hear." It will be harmful more. In other words, if you are not following the Vaisnava principle, you don't chant
- Even the birds and beasts, they do not try for their food and shelter. They are certain that, - Somewhere we have got our shelter and there is somewhere my food
- Even the Christian, religious persons, they also open hospital to give relief to the patient. So that is not the program. The program is why he should fall sick and come to the hospital? Precaution is better than cure
- Even the fifth-grade man, he can be purified by Krsna consciousness movement. Therefore there is great need of this movement
- Even the great scientists who have discovered many wonderful scientific contributions could not trace out about the personal self, which is the cause of such wonderful discoveries
- Even the great scientists, great philosophers they do not want to understand this science (of God). What can we do?
- Even the Mayavadis, they are also praising these activities. Yesterday two Mayavadi sannyasis came, Sankara-sampradaya
- Even there is no enmity, there are so many living entities, just like bugs, mosquitoes, other animals. They are always prepared to give us trouble. This is called adhibhautika
- Even they are in the Brahman, merge into the Brahman, the mastership mentality is there; therefore he falls down again. Because mastership exhibition can be done in this material world
- Even though he is child, he is repeating the words of the father. He is fixed up, that "My father has told me this thing. It is perfect." He is convinced. So he says, - This is microphone
- Even though we do not know how to chant, according to sastric injunctions, there are ten kinds of offenses. When we avoid that offenses, then it is pure chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra
- Even though you reach the topmost planet of this universe, still, there the four principles of material life, namely birth, death, old age and disease, are there
- Even though you think that chemical combination brings the living force, but the chemical is coming from life. Just like citric acid. The citric acid we see practically. There is a tree, lemon tree. This is life
- Even to offer respect to the Vaisnava is greater qualification than one who simply offers respect to God. That is stated in Devi Purana
- Even university students, they say, "If next life, if I become animal, what is the wrong?" Just see, how much degraded
- Even war is stopped, there is no question that people will live forever. No. That is not the law of nature
- Even we are promoted to the higher standard of life, as in higher planets the demigods, the four principles of material miseries, namely birth, death, old age and disease, we cannot avoid, either in the higher planetary or in the lower planetary system
- Even we eat vegetable, that is also killing. But because I have to kill somebody to eat, that does not mean that I can kill my child also. That is also going on. There is discrimination
- Even you cannot go to the moon planet, which is so nearest. But still, we are proud of our these airplanes, sputniks. We are thinking, - Now we have become God
- Even you do not understand, do not take it very seriously, if we simply give aural reception to the words of Krsna, that activity itself is punya
- Even you do ordinary killing, vegetable killing, you are killing so many germs. So in higher sense, if you take this principle of Bible, "Thou shall not kill," that means you must eat krsna-prasadam, otherwise you will be killing
- Even you get bread, what do you get? Bread is already given even to the animals. That they do not know. Therefore they take religion for material gain
- Even you go to a learned brahmana, he does not give you the proper instruction; he wants to exact some money from you. Therefore things have gone, everything, very bad
- Even your enemy comes at your home, you should treat with him in such a nice way that he'll forget that you are his enemy
- Every devotee aspires to see the Lord. That is natural. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu says that - It doesn't matter. Whether I see Krsna or not, it doesn't matter
- Every devotee is subordinate. Nobody is equal to Krsna. If we do that, then it is mistake. A devotee never says. Dasa. Dasa means servant. Servant is always the subordinate
- Every devotee should be so sincere to Krsna, or God, that he must execute Krsna's mission
- Every devotee, every pure soul, duty is how to extinguish the blazing fire. And that can be done only by pushing on this Krsna consciousness movement. Otherwise, it is not possible
- Every devotee, they must follow the rules and regulations, that's all
- Every devotee, Vaisnava, they voluntarily takes this business just to satisfy Krsna, to explain Krsna, just like Kunti is explaining. Because if we understand Krsna thoroughly, then we are liberated

- Every father, every state, every guardian, every guru, everyone, relative, should educate his dependent in Krsna consciousness to give them chance to be liberated from this bondage of miserable condition of material life
- Every God conscious man must have respect for Jesus Christ. There is no doubt about it. My Guru Maharaja had very great respect for Muhammad, Jesus Christ. We pray Lord Buddha. Although he preached atheistic philosophy, but we know that he's incarnation
- Every human being is given the chance by nature's way. You are given this human form of body, civilized man with developed consciousness, to understand these problems of your life. The animals cannot understand
- Every human being is open to accept the principles of Krsna consciousness and make his life successful. This is our propaganda, to give everyone the facility of perfection of life
- Every human being not only shall take care of this body but should take care of his problems, because he is eternal - he is changing body after body, and that is very botheration, and there is no guarantee what sort of body you are going to get next
- Every Indian has to perfect his life by accepting the Vedic principle and distribute it to the whole world. - This is the best welfare activities in the human society
- Every Indian home, especially the Hindus, never mind in whatever sect or division they belong, they observe Krsna's birthday. As here in the Christian world you observe the birthday of Lord Jesus Christ

- Every living entity, by the all laws of nature, is imprisoned or allowed under certain apartment, either in the body of a tree or a human being or demigod or cat or dog. These are all ordained
- Every moment he's dying, and still he thinks, "I shall live forever." This is asura
- Every month they must be asked what they need. Necessities, they must be supplied. We have already discussed this point. The women, they require protection - children, women
- Every morning you see something (in newspaper): "Somebody has stolen, killed, some political leaders have bluffed you," and so many things, repetition of the same. This is also repetition, Hare Krsna, but by this repetition, you enlighten spiritual life
- Every one of us is spirit soul, living entities. It does not matter whether I am a human being or other than human being - lower animal, birds, beasts, trees or higher celestial beings
- Every one of us who are sitting in this meeting, nobody can say that "I have never committed any mistake." That is not possible. We commit mistake, everyone and we are sometimes illusioned
- Every one of us, we are imperfect. We are very much proud of our eyes: "Can you show me?" What qualification your eyes have got that you can see?
- Every one of us, we are now dogs of the material nature, or just like street dogs. Therefore we should take shelter of the big master, Krsna. Then it will be all right
- Every one of us, we are simultaneously one with God and different from God. One in quality. The quality of God is also in me. I am of the same quality
- Every one of us, we are trying to be successful in Krsna consciousness. Suppose that due to some reason we fall down. There is possibility because maya, illusory nature, is very, very strong. So we may become victim
- Every one of you can become guru, provided you understand the science of Krsna
- Every one of you know that it is dark by nature. Therefore, here we require sunlight, moonlight, electricity. Just like if you live in a dark room, you must always have light, electricity. Otherwise you are blind
- Every one of you should study the philosophy, try to understand it and spread it. That is good for you and good for others
- Every one of you should very carefully read. Every one of you must have one book and read it carefully and appear in the examination next Janmastami. You'll get designation, Bhakti-sastri
- Every planet is in the outer space. They have no support. Even sun is rotating. So what this moon has got that it has got different method?
- Every religion believes - not believes; it is fact - that there is God. Or any religion will deny the existence of God, is there any religion? I don't think. Is there any religion?
- Every religion, simply by rubber stamp, "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian," but they do not know what is religion. They do not know
- Every sastra has been interpreted wrongly, and therefore people are misguided. They could not take advantage of the instruction of Bhagavad-gita because all through, the Bhagavad-gita has been misinterpreted
- Every sastra says, vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah (BG 15.15).All the Vedic literatures, they aim at understanding Krsna
- Every spirit soul is son of God, but materially we think somebody as father. But real father is God. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita - BG 14.4
- Every Vaisnava sampradaya has his own explanation of Vedanta-sutra. Don't understand Vedantist means the monopoly by Sankara sampradaya. No
- Every Vaisnava, every devotee of Krsna, pure devotee of Krsna, is a paramahamsa. So you . . . we are teaching people to become immediately paramahamsa, highest stage of sannyasa. And the method is simply chanting Hare Krsna
- Every word of Bhagavad-gita is fact, historical, and very nicely composed and spoken by the greatest authority, Krsna, who is accepted by all parties as the SPG. There are parties of spiritual life in India. Just like Sankaracarya's party
- Every years, almost six to seven months, I pass outside India
- Everyone achieves . . . whatever facilities he has got in his life, it is all from Krsna. Without Krsna, nobody can have anything, either demonic or devotional
- Everyone becomes a servant of the senses just beginning from the tongue. They cannot control the tongue. They eat anything and everything. Therefore they cannot control others senses also
- Everyone can become spiritual master if he presents the instruction as it is. Not that "I am now advanced. I can change the process what I received from spiritual master." That is rascaldom
- Everyone can practice at home. Is it very difficult task, to gather some flowers and some leaves and decorate and have some picture or statue of the Lord, offer Him some fruits, flower? Everyone can do this
- Everyone can think of Krsna always. Where is the difficulty? Our mind must be absorbed thinking something, so think of Krsna. Then your life is perfect. This is parampara
- Everyone can think of Krsna. Here is Krsna's form. Everyone can chant Hare Krsna. Everyone can offer obeisances. Everyone can offer some fruits and flowers. This is the opportunity
- Everyone claims that "We are also following Vyasadeva." But not superficially. Actually following Vyasadeva. Just like Vyasadeva accepted Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Everyone commits mistake, everyone is illusioned, and everyone, because he has got imperfectness and still he wants to teach, therefore he is a cheater
- Everyone dies, so a devotee, after death, in his transcendental form he goes back to home, back to Godhead
- Everyone falsely thinking, "I am free. Our nation is free. I am free." What nonsense free? You are locked up already. He has preferred to remain in this prison locked up by sex because he is rascal
- Everyone has aversion. Therefore we give this chance to everyone to chant with us Hare Krsna mantra. This is the only. If you go on chanting, then gradually that cause of aversion will be cleared
- Everyone has choice. Choice, but under the control. Exactly like that. By your choice, you go to the prison house. By your choice, you go to the university

- Everyone has got his own opinion, however condemned it may be. And on that point everyone is prepared to fight with one. Therefore it is called Kali-yuga
- Everyone has got his particular propensity. So someone is serving as the land there; someone is serving as the throne; someone is serving as the supplying agent of fruits and flowers; someone is engaged in His service as the gopis, confidential servitors
- Everyone has got little fortune, opulence, but nobody is comparable with Krsna. Therefore in the sastra it is said, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam: "Real Bhagavan is Krsna," the supreme controller
- Everyone has got some occupational duty. So dharmam hi saksad bhagavat-pranitam (SB 6.3.19). That occupational duty is assigned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Tena tyaktena bhunjithah - ISO 1
- Everyone has got the facilities for sense enjoyment. Why not human being? Human being is developed consciousness; he has got better facilities. But the human being's business is not to indulge in sense gratification

- Everyone has got to give up this body. That's a fact. Even people do not know that after giving up this body I will have to accept another body, better or lower according to my karma. There is no such cultivation of knowledge
- Everyone has seen that as soon as there is earthquake, they began to scream: "Oh, now I'm going to die, going to die." As soon as there is any shaking in the aeroplane, they began to scream. He's afraid of death, but he says - Oh, that is not a problem
- Everyone here, they want to imitate Krsna. Everyone is trying how to become a very big man, how to construct a very big, high skyscraper building, how to possess three dozen motorcar and how to possess so many servants, how to possess so many followers
- Everyone in this material world has come with these lusty desires and greediness. Even demigods like Lord Siva, Lord Brahma
- Everyone in this material world is trying his best how to satisfy the senses. This is the material disease

- Everyone is afraid of being killed. That is the most fearful position. But if you are convinced that "I am not killed; I exist . . ." That does not mean I shall be voluntarily prepared to be killed. No, that is not the idea
- Everyone is afraid what will happen next. This is unhappiness. So either you be Indira Gandhi or a street dog, that is nature's law. Nobody is happy
- Everyone is born sudra, and by undergoing the reformation process, he becomes twice-born. The father is the spiritual master, and the mother is Vedic knowledge
- Everyone is claiming "Aryan," but he does not know what is the business of Aryans. The same ignorance - "I am this body." So by the bodily features they settle up - This is from Aryan family; this is from non-Aryan family
- Everyone is controller. In that sense everyone is God. But everyone is not supreme God, supreme controller
- Everyone is embarrassed. Everyone is trying that, "I shall become happy in this way." So that means he is feeling distress
- Everyone is engaged in so-called duties but forget the real duty. This is called maya

- Everyone is given facility, but it is karmanubandhanah, just a facility for the living entities who wanted to enjoy this material world. This material world is not wanted. Everyone should live in the spiritual world
- Everyone is giving service. Somebody is giving service to a country, to his society, to his wife, the children. And if he has nothing to serve, then he keeps a pet dog and gives it service
- Everyone is governor. You are also governor, or isvara, controller, but not the supreme controller. Our message is that here in this material world, there are many controllers, many governors, many isvaras, but nobody is the supreme isvara

- Everyone is practically aware that how sex life is followed by so many miserable condition of life - everyone knows it - either illicit or legal. The world is going on

- Everyone is seeking after happiness. Atyantika-duhkha-nivrttih. The struggle for existence is to minimize miserable condition of life and increase enjoyment
- Everyone is seeking happiness. Why we are seeking happiness? What is the answer
- Everyone is servant of the senses. Everyone is acting being dictated by the senses: "Oh, it is very nice. Let me see." The eyes dictate what we see
- Everyone is servant, but falsely thinking "I'm master." That is material disease
- Everyone is servant. Every living entity is a servant. As enunciated by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109) - The real, constitutional position of the living entity is eternal servant of Krsna
- Everyone is servant. That is the definition given by Lord Caitanya, jivera svarupa haya nitya krsna dasa (Cc. Madhya 20.108-109): "A living entity is eternally servant of God." That cannot be changed
- Everyone is sudra. "Come on. New beginning. New life again." And that is the whole basic principle of our Krsna consciousness movement
- Everyone is suffering for misuse of their intelligence, denying the authority of God. And everyone can take advantage. We are giving that knowledge. Without any exception, everyone can take. This is our line
- Everyone is suffering. Somebody is in ignorance: although he is suffering, he is thinking that he is very well. This is called maya. Maya means you are accepting something which is not
- Everyone is thinking that he's independent, he can do whatever he likes. That is not possible. Then you'll be punished. Nature's law is so strict, stringent
- Everyone is thinking that his understanding is the greatest. He has no idea that how greatest God is. We say "God is great," but we do not know how great He is
- Everyone is thinking. I make my plan, I make my survey, and I become king. But that is maya. You cannot become. You are already servant of maya
- Everyone is trying to be perfect, but they do not know what is perfection. Perfection means this: that when you are free from these four imperfections. What is that? Birth, death, old age and disease
- Everyone is trying to become happy with society, friendship and love - children, wife, friends, money and house and land. This is the conception of material
- Everyone is trying to become happy, peaceful. That peacefulness, that happiness can be attained only when you increase your attachment or love the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the meaning of Krsna consciousness movement

- Everyone is trying to get very rich, to get monetary power, so that they can satisfy their senses
- Everyone is trying to understand Krsna from the angle of vision as he can understand. Krsna is beyond that. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja, - beyond the limit

- Everyone is working to get some money, and money means to satisfy my senses, my demands of the senses. This is called karma
- Everyone is working under the direction of the Supreme Lord. Ocean, although very powerful, very big, still, by the order of Krsna, it cannot go beyond the limit. It cannot go
- Everyone knows animal life is full of suffering, but they cannot realize. But a human being can realize. And when the question comes, when he becomes intelligent enough that "Why I am suffering?" then his human life begins
- Everyone knows God is great. "Great" means everyone is small; He is great. Nobody is equal to Him. Nobody is greater than Him. That is the meaning of greatness
- Everyone knows that "I'll not live forever." But even though it is temporary, adhruvam, not eternal, it is arthadam. It is said, arthadam. Whatever little life you have got, you can attain perfection
- Everyone knows that he has got a father. That is not difficult. Anyone who is in this material world, in material world or spiritual world, there is a father
- Everyone lives hundred years, but the ant's hundred years and my hundred years and Brahma's hundred years, they are different, relative. Law of relativity
- Everyone requires to be cured of this disease of ignorance. The disease of ignorance, means "I am this body. I am this body." I am not this body
- Everyone says, "God is great," but he is trying to be as great as God. How it is possible?
- Everyone says, "God is great. God is omnipotent. God is all-powerful," but we do not know how God is great, how God is all-powerful, how God is omnipotent. That we should know. And that is the prerogative, a special power for the human being
- Everyone should be alert to treat this miserable condition of material life, tapa-traya. Tapa-traya unmulanam. One has to uproot this tree of tapa-traya. That is perfection of life

- Everyone should be interested to inquire, athato brahma jijnasa, or tattva-jijnasa: What is the aim of life? What is the Absolute Truth? So children should be educated also from the very beginning
- Everyone should join this movement for the human welfare activities, with their life, with their money, with their intelligence, with their words
- Everyone should try to finish this business (Krsna consciousness). Why one should wait for another life? We have got this opportunity. Let us finish. And what is the difficulty to remain always thinking of Krsna?
- Everyone thinks in terms, "I am this body," that's all. He is not human being, but every so-called civilized man is thinking like that. So where is the civilization of human being? All go-kharahs, animals
- Everyone wants akuto-bhayam: "I must be very safe and sound in every respect, in my social position, so far my health is concerned, anything." Everyone wants that security. But there is no security. That is called struggle for existence
- Everyone wants sense gratification, to be servant of the senses. If the senses want "Do this," he will do it. And our Movement is that we shall not hear the dictation of the senses, we shall do what Krsna says. That is just opposite
- Everyone wants to enjoy this material world according to his whims and purpose. Krsna gives facility to everyone. So that facility is given according to his desire, a particular type of body
- Everyone wants to lead the medical science. It is time to give greatest relief from disease, but they cannot stop disease or death. That is the problem
- Everyone wants to live forever, but nature will not allow that. That's a fact. We may think very independent, but we are not independent. We are under the stringent laws of nature
- Everyone who is encaged in this material body, he's unhappy. That is the sum and substance of the whole material existence
- Everyone who is engaged in material activities, full of anxieties and hard warning. There is no doubt about it. Nobody can say - Oh, I am very well situated

- Everyone with common sense can understand that, "What philosophy?" Here they see practically character, philosophy, devotion, faith, strict discipline. Any gentleman will appreciate
- Everyone's heart, Krsna is there, or the Paramatma is there. And mattah smrtir jsanam apohanam ca: and all the speculation or real understanding or forgetfulness or real knowledge, they are coming, being initiated from Him
- Everyone's point is happiness. And what is that standard of happiness, that you have to take from some authority. That authority we accept Krsna
- Everyone, especially the karmis, they think that they will live forever. This is the most wonderful thing
- Everyone, if you address each other "prabhu," that mastership mentality will be less, if you remember that - I am not master. I am servant
- Everyone, individual to individual, nation to nation, society to society, religion to religion, so-called religion - everyone is trying to become the master
- Everyone, practically, they are addicted to these sinful activities. So therefore they are mad, pramattah
- Everyone, the cats, dogs, they will also give up body. We shall also give up body. But the difference is, a devotee after giving up this body, he does not get anymore material body
- Everyone, we are in the dark well surrounded by serpents, this body. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has sung this song, sarira avidya-jal, jadendriya tahe kala. Kala means serpents, kala-sarpa
- Everyone, we give more prominence to the designations: "I am this, I am this." So how can you see God like that? First of all you become designationless. As Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, that - I am not a Brahmin. I am not a ksatriya. I am not a vaisya
- Everything belongs to Krsna. Why you are claiming yourself, as nation or individual or community? That's not proper. Just like pickpocket and a gang, gangsters, organized rogues, thieves. It does not change the quality
- Everything can be taken away at any moment. So depend on Krsna for defending, defenses. Avasya raksibe krsna (Saranagati). This is called surrender
- Everything can be turned. Hari-sambandhi-vastunah: without any attachment. Just like these boys, they are collecting money, but not a single farthing they are spending for themselves. Not a single farthing
- Everything collected is being utilized for God's book publication, for propaganda, for distribution. They are not earning less. We collect some day one thousand dollar, and we are collecting all over the world about thirty thousand dollar
- Everything depends on advancement in Krsna consciousness. If Krsna is there, either you read or work as a coolie, the same thing
- Everything depends on knowledge. Without knowledge, how can we make progress? Student means to acquire knowledge. Serious student means to acquire knowledge
- Everything depends on me. I can see God. Just like I am seeing you face to face, you are seeing me face to face, similarly, you can see Krsna face to face
- Everything depends on training. That is yoga system. The whole yoga system means training - our senses, our mind, our this, that, so many things - then we are fixed up in the self
- Everything depends on your present karma, work - how you are making up your next life. But these rascals, they do not know there is a next life, and they are doctor of philosophy
- Everything explained. Read books. Be devotee. That will bring happiness. And economically you may not be disturbed that you're poverty-stricken, you have to beg something or . . . no
- Everything is being attempted to suppress our miserable condition of life. That is going on
- Everything is being done by nature. We are simply falsely thinking, ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate. This illusion is going on
- Everything is being supplied. What to speak of human life? In the animal life the necessities are the eating, sleeping, mating and defending - everything is there
- Everything is Brahman. Why? Because the Brahman is very big, but what is this big? The big is combination of small molecules, atoms. That's all
- Everything is combination of several molecular, atomic parts. That's all. You are also atomic spirit. So all the atomic spirit, when they are together, that is called brahmajyoti
- Everything is complete. It is our mismanagement. We, the so-called civilized human beings, we have created problems
- Everything is Krsna's forms. Your form is also Krsna's form; my form is also Krsna's form. Therefore foolish rascals, they think, "Now I have become God." He has got the affinity that he is also God expansion; therefore sometimes he thinks that - I am God
- Everything is manifestation of Krsna, Krsna's energy, just like the fire is situated somewhere, but the fire exhibits or demonstrates its energy, the light and heat, just like the sun is far away, but still, by sun's light and heat, he is spread all over
- Everything is manifested practically just like ordinary human being. But at the same time, whenever there is need, big, big demons, beginning from Putana, He (Krsna) is maintaining His position as God, but dealing with His devotees
- Everything is manufactured by God. So everyone has right - not only human being; even the animals - everyone has got the right to live and use things as much as he requires
- Everything is open. Not that government says that you become a criminal and he prefers somebody, "You become a high-court judge" No. Everything is in your hand. If you like, you can become so
- Everything is the property of the Supreme Lord. You are falsely claiming that you are the proprietor. You are not proprietor. How you can be proprietor?
- Everything is there in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, this anatomic, physiologic, how the child is growing within the womb of his mother. One day, fifth day, and like that. In seven months how it is developed
- Everything is there. Even a child can take benefit out of Krsna consciousness. That you have seen practically. But we will not take it. That is the difficulty
- Everything is there: what God is working, how He is acting, what is His address, who is His father, who is His mother - everything. Therefore it is called raja-vidya, king of all knowledge. You get everything, completely, raja-vidya; nothing vague
- Everything Krsna consciousness is scientific. Simply one requires the brain to understand. Then, when he understands, he will see Krsna in everything
- Everything see, the flowers & leaves, so artistically, beautifully manufactured that simply by seeing them you'll feel pleased. How the man can manufacture it? And still they are denying the existence of God & taking all the credit. How foolish they are
- Everything should be dovetailed in the service of Krsna. And that is real understanding
- Everything should be learned from the standard Vedic literature, and society and other things, economic development, everything. So that is here in the Bhagavad-gita
- Everything under the direction of the spiritual master. Why you are asking? You do not know these things? Why do you ask this question? It must be, according to the direction of the spiritual master
- Everything, all Krsna's lila were vanished. Not vanished; it was not visible. Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw one small hole, little water, and He indicated, "This is Radha-kunda." Then Radha-kunda was discovered. So these Gosvamis, they were working very hard
- Everything, what is there in this earthly planet, that belongs to God. We are sons of God. Let us enjoy God's property. The son has got right to use. But I should not encroach upon your property or my property
- Everything, whatever you do - everything is going on, any activity - it can be sattvic, it can be rajasic, it can be tamasic. But when it comes to the sattvic platform, then it is perfect. If it is on the platform of rajasic and tamasic, it is useless
- Everywhere authority is there. You have to accept authority. Without authority there is no, I mean to say, advancement. That is impossible
- Everywhere the government, father and society are bad, and therefore we are producing bad men, and therefore there is no peace and prosperity
- Everywhere there is knowledge of God consciousness. That teaching should be introduced in every schools & colleges so that children, from the very beginning, may understand what is God, how great he is, how we are related with God, & how we have to live
- Everywhere they are very busy, karmi, but they do not know what is the aim of life. That is called karma, acting something and suffering again. This is called karma
- Everywhere, all over the world, the young boys and girls, they have no fixture where they'll live, where they'll take their bath, where they'll eat or how they have sex. No
- Everywhere, everyone is trying to become master. It doesn't matter it is a small circle or big circle. This is material disease
- Everywhere, law and order. In spiritual also. Unless there is law and order, it is chaos. Law and order must be there
- Evolution means developed consciousness, and according to the developed consciousness, one gets a particular type of body. This is nature's law
- Exactly at three o'clock they (these boys and girls) will rise, take bath, offer arati at four o'clock.. All regulative principles they will do. And that is the sign that they are free from the reaction of all sinful activities. This is the proof
- Except human body, lower than the human body we can understand how they are suffering. Suppose a tree. Here we are sitting so comfortably. A few yards off from this place, there is a tree, and it is standing for thousands of years. Is not that punishment
- Except service of Krsna, there is no other thing. That is devotee. So that service is given by the spiritual master, and the spiritual master will approve, "Yes your service is all right," then Krsna is also pleased
- Except these so-called civilized twenty-five percent human being, other living entities have no problem for eating, sleeping, mating
- Except this purpose (to realize God), fulfilling, anything we are doing, that is animalism. As the dog is jumping, we are also jumping like that. It is dog's dancing, that's all. What is the difference?
- Except Your lotus feet, we have no other shelter. And so far our safetiness is concerned, we are already encircled by so many enemies, because in the fight one's father has died, so his son is preparing to fight with us. So we are not at all free now
- Expansion feature also two kinds: svamsa, vibhinnamsa, His (Krsna's) personal expansion and separated expansion. We are all separated expansion, vibhinnamsa, a small particle
- Experimental study, by research work by great saintly persons, sages, they have concluded, "Nobody is found . . ." samah means "equal to Him or adhikah," adhikah means "greater." That is the experience. And still, He has nothing to do
- Explained in the Bhagavad-gita. Panditah sama-darsinah (BG 5.18): "One who is pandita, learned, his vision is equal." So if St. Francis was thinking like that, that is highest standard of spiritual understanding
- Explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta in a very simple verse, "As soon as I become servant of maya, then I shall create so many rascaldom in the name of philosophy and science." This is going on
- Explained in the Upanisads, that there are two birds in this tree, body. One is observing and other is enjoying. So the observing bird is the Paramatma, Krsna

- Father gives the seed, impregnates the mother, and the mother supplies the body. The body belongs to the mother, and the spirit soul belongs to the supreme father. But it comes through the material father
- Father is born by his father, and his father is born by his father. How can you deny it? He may not know the grandfather, great-grandfather or more than that, but there must have been some person
- Father is the cause of the beginning of my body or your body, everyone. So therefore He (Krsna) has no beginning - that He has no father, but He is the supreme father. That is the Christian conception: God is the supreme father
- Father says: "My dear child, when you were two years old you fell down and there was a fracture in your brain." He cannot remember. The father can say: "Yes, it happened. You have forgotten. I remember." Similarly, Krsna can remember everything

- Finish this business, this life. One life let me be strict in following the discipline and regulative principles. - This is called tapasya. So "Although it is inconvenient, I must do it to solve my problems." That is firm determination drdha-vrata
- Fire and a spark of fire qualitatively the same, but quantitatively different. Similarly, we are Brahman, and Krsna is Para-brahman, Supreme Brahman. Nityo nityanam, the chief of the all eternals
- Fire is a woman, and man is just like butter pot, it is said. Therefore they should not keep together. Just like there are some labels in medicine - Keep away from fire

- God has given you so many nice foodstuff. Why should you kill an animal? Therefore Jesus Christ says, "Thou shall not kill." "Then shall I die?" No. There are so many things. You eat, tena tyaktena, "whatever is ordained by You," by God, Krsna
- God has given you the ear. Utilize it properly. That's all. You don't require to go to the university and get a Ph.D. degree and then you can understand. No. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission jnane prayasam udapasya namanta eva - SB 10.14.3
- God has given you the tongue, and you can chant "Krsna." Actually they (my disciples) are chanting everywhere, in all parts of the world, very easily, even a child
- God has given you the tongue, and you can chant and gradually improve. And if you make your life perfect in this way, then all material problems are solved in this life
- God has given: "Oh, here is first-class quality." They will eat little. And in India there are classes, they will eat so much. So for them that red rice is good. They do not like this fine basmati. I have got practical experience
- God has got full independence; you have got also independence. But your independence and God's independence not the same. Similarly, any quality you take, you have got little of it
- God has got many forms, but the original form is that playing on flute, curved in three places with barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam, with a feather on the head. These are Vedic description of Krsna

- God has got multi-energies, and they are divided grossly into three: the external energy, the internal energy and the marginal energy
- God has got this gigantic universal body, and God has got another body, which is smaller than yourself. It can sit down within your body. That is called smaller than the smallest
- God is accepted as the original father. The Christian, they go to the original father: "O Father, O God, give us our daily bread." So we also accept. That is the godly conception. That is the beginning of religious conception
- God is also a living being. That is said in the Oxford Dictionary. God means, "supreme being." So we are all beings, and God is the Supreme Being. We are limited by our power; God is unlimited by His power
- God is also canvassing us, - My dear sons, why you are unnecessarily traveling here and making plans to be happy here, nonsense place? You just surrender unto Me. I shall give you all protection
- God is also living entity. He is the chief living entity, chief intelligent man or god, and we are subordinate. What is our relationship? God is the supreme father, we are all children
- God is beyond the limitation of our thinking and philosophical speculation. Sambhavanam tava parivradhima-svabhavam - Your very grave and confidential activities, it is very difficult to understand by ordinary men
- God is eternal, God is blissful, God is in full knowledge, so we, being part and parcel of God, we have got the same quality
- God is eternal, we are also eternal. But because we have fallen down in this material existence, we have forgotten our eternity; we are changing body. We are thinking, "I am this body." This is our misgivings
- God is everything. God is darkness also. We say: "God is that from whom everything comes." So light also comes; darkness also comes
- God is everything. He can come as a human being or He can come in the form of sound also. Because what is this human being? You are seeing a human being, this flesh. That is combination of matter
- God is giving bread to the eight million other living entities. Birds, beast, tigers, elephants, they are not going to the church for asking bread. But they are getting it. So if God is supplying everyone food, why He shall not supply you?
- God is giving me bread. I shall eat. That's all - I am meant for eating only? And why not offering? God will not eat. Simply you feel gratitude - Oh, God has given me this bread. Let me offer it to God first of all. Then I take
- God is great, and we are minute fragment. That is difference. Therefore, simultaneously we are one and different, one in quality but different in quantity
- God is great, but still God can become smaller than the smallest and at the same time He can become bigger than the biggest. That is God. Omnipotency
- God is great, but we have no knowledge how He is great. We can simply think of gagana, the sky. That is the greatest. But we do not know that millions of skies are within the belly of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- God is great, we are small. In quality we are one. Just like the president and the citizen, as man they are one, but in power, the citizen and the president, they are different
- God is indefinable, but when He comes before you as He is, then it is definable. God is indefinable, that's all right. But if He is so pleased to reveal Himself, then He is definable because He is defining Himself
- God is indefinable, that is a fact, but when you take the definition given by God, then it is easy
- God is Krsna, the Supreme. Isvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah (Bs. 5.1), accepted by all acaryas, by all Vedic sastra. And when He was present Himself, He proved Himself that He's God
- God is living within the core of the heart, and the living entity, he is also living within this core of heart. They are living just like two birds sitting on the branch of one tree. These are the Vedic statement
- God is neither Hindu nor Muslim nor Christian. God is God. God is one. But according to time and climate, condition, the method of approaching God may be different, but the ultimate end is how to love God or how to serve God
- God is never controlled. God is controller, but He's not controlled. So if we take ourself as so many samples of God, that is all right, but we are controlled God, not controller God
- God is not a fiction or an imagination, as people take it. Not always. But everywhere in civilized human society there is some conception of religion, and the purpose of executing religious faith means to understand God
- God is not so cheap thing. People become God, "I am God." You are a nonsense rascal. What you can do? These are bluff. They do not know what is God
- God is not so cheap. We have got conception of God, that we get conception from the sastras, from the breathing of one of the portion of God, Maha-Visnu, innumerable universes are coming out, and just like we are exhaling, inhaling
- God is not visible to everyone. He is visible - "Here is God" - but those who have not developed the eyes to see God, they think, "Here is a doll, and these foolish people are worshiping a doll." No. He is God, Krsna
- God is omnipotent in this way. I do not know what is pains and pleasure is going on within your body. That is not possible for me to understand. Neither you can understand what pains and pleasure I am feeling. But God knows
- God is one, and to understand God the only process is bhakti. That's all. There is no other process
- God is one. God cannot be two. And what He says, that is also one. So if we accept that one law of God, that is religion. Then there is unity
- God is purusa. Purusa means man, I mean to say, male. Not female. Male. Without becoming male one cannot be enjoyer. In another place it is stated that Krsna is the supreme enjoyer
- God is realized as impersonal Brahman, as localized Paramatma or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the process of linking with Him, it is called yoga
- God is so great friend of ours. He is always witnessing, witnessing. And as I am desiring, God is giving us facility, "All right, you want to enjoy like this? You take this body and enjoy
- God is so great, so big, how we can pack up in the ratha? But this is a chance, that you get Him sit on the ratha and prepare it, manufacture it. Because your energy is engaged for His service, that is accepted
- God is the chief living entity amongst all living entities. God is the most intelligent personality than all of us. He is supplying the necessities of life to everyone. - These are the Vedic injunction. That is the difference between God and ourself
- God is the Supreme Spirit, and what in your Christian language it is called Holy Ghost, so we call atma, or the Supreme Spirit
- God is there, that's a fact - you are here, that's a fact. But the surrender is not there. And to come to the surrendering point requires training, agreement
- God is within you - He will make your relationship with such a spiritual master who will enlighten you further and further. So practically, the spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. Now, it depends on me
- God loves you so much that He sends His son to convince you, "Please come to Me." God Himself comes, Krsna: "Please come to Me." And what we are doing, servant of God? We are requesting only, - Please be God conscious
- God may be within anything, but that does not mean that He is equal or one within. That is the Mayavadi philosophy, a foolish philosophy. Because I am within this room, does it mean that the room and myself are the same? I am more important than the room
- God may have many thousands of names, but the most perfect name which we can give to the SPG is Krsna. Krsna means "All-attractive." God must be all-attractive. It is not that God is attractive for a certain class of men and not attractive for others
- God means from whom everything has come. So if there is a question of love, the propensity, a man loving a woman and woman loving a man, that is in God. It must be there. Otherwise wherefrom it has come?
- God means that as we are person, He is the supreme person. That's all. Just like you are also persons, you are also Australians, and the president of the Australian government, he is also a person. He is not imperson
- God must have some name. In the Bible also it is said "Hallowed be thy name"? God's name is there. God's name is Christ or Kristo or Krsna. So we can chant combinedly. Where is the difficulty?
- God or anything about God is beyond the limit of our thinking, speculation. Therefore, we have to learn it submissively. Tad viddhi pranipatena. Pranipata means submission
- God or God's representative, whatever they say, that is not meant for a limited area. Either you take Christian principle or Hindu principle, what is real principle, that is applicable everywhere
- God proved, "Yes, you (Hiranyakasipu) have cheated Brahma in so many ways with the idea that you will live forever. Now see. I am here. How great I am." So that is the appreciation of the greatness of God
- God reveals to you by your service attitude. And that service attitude begins from your tongue, jihva. Jihva means tongue. How? You chant Hare Krsna and taste krsna-prasadam. Then you will realize. Two things. Very simple method
- God says: "You eat really nice things; don't eat nonsense nice thing." Instead of eating nonsense meat, you eat sweet balls. You see? It is not stoppage, but giving better
- God sends His son to canvass, - Oh, this is not your right engagement. Please come back to home, back to Godhead
- God wanted to give him (Prahlada) something and he refused, and He was pleased, - Oh, here is My real servant
- God's another name is Jagadisa. He is the controller of the whole universe. So isanghri-sevaya. That is the only way. So that seva begins from tongue
- God's creation is very, very vast. It is not within your imagination. You cannot know even within this universe. This universe, we are trying to go to the moon planet; that is also failure. That is the nearest planet
- God's pastime, that is perceivable through devotional service. Bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55). Only. This is the process. No other process. No amount of speculation, no amount of academic education, no amount of philosophical discussion can
- God's potencies are so subtle and perfect, as soon as He desires, immediately thing is ready. This is called yoga system. Therefore Krsna is known as Yogesvara
- God's propaganda is going on in so many ways to recall all these, bewildered sons of God, those who have forgotten. Just like the father: he loves the son more than the son loves the father
- God, in His Paramatma feature is sitting within everyone's heart - your heart, my heart, everyone's. You haven't got to find out God somewhere else. Therefore the yogis, they practice, "How to find out God within myself." That is called meditation
- God, there are incarnation, there are hundreds and thousands of incarnation, but to accept that incarnation we have to follow the direction of the sastra. The sastra, in every incarnation is described there, His symptoms are described there
- Godless civilization, they no more can depend on the natural gifts. They think by industrial enterprises they will get more money and they'll be happy
- Gopis in Vrndavana. They did not study what is Krsna. They did not care even to study. But they wanted to love Krsna. That is their only qualification. They were ordinary village girls
- Gosvami means one who has conquered over the dictation of the senses. My sense dictates to do something, but when I am able to dictate the sense, "No, you cannot do it," that is called gosvami
- Gosvami or svami, the same meaning: one who has been able to control the senses. Generally everyone is controlled by the senses. When one becomes controller of the senses, then he is gosvami
- Gosvami said, "The first beginning is to take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master." Sad-dharma-pracchat: "Then inquire from him about the spiritual path." Sadhu-marganugamanam: "Follow the previous acaryas." These are the steps
- Gosvamis, they went to Vrndavana, severest type of austerity. They used to live underneath a tree. Now if in this age I advise you that you also live underneath a tree, then it will be difficult to preach. You see?
- Government creates university also, or government creates prison house also. But it is your freedom. You make your choice: either you go to the university or you go to the prison house. It is your choice
- Government has arranged policeman in every crossing. They are wandering in the street. They are meant for helping you. They are not meant for controlling you. But when you agree to be controlled by the police, then it will control you
- Government has got two departments: law and order department, military department. Why? Two things must . . . This is their business, sudra business
- Government is equal to everyone, all citizens. But why somebody is going to the university to take his M.A. degree, and why one is going to the prison house to be imprisoned and suffering for so many years
- Government is giving facilities everyone equally. You become educated, you become high-court judge. And if you become criminal, then go to jail. So similarly, God, He's equal to everyone. Samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu (BG 9.29). There is no discrimination
- Government opens some liquor shop, gives license. That does not mean that government is encouraging drinking. The liquor shop is there. Those who are drunkard, they can go. That's a facility. That's all
- Governor has got his own house, government house. At the same time, when he goes on tour he has got a particular place called the circuit house. He stays there. Similarly, the whole creation is Krsna's property
- Govinda dasi? Where is Govinda dasi? You take these two fruits, offer, cutting, and distribute prasadam
- Govinda is person. This impersonal Brahman, nirakara, that is His personal effulgence, bodily effulgence. Just like the sun. The sun planet is localized, and within the sun planet, there is sun-god. His name is also mentioned in the BG, Vivasvan
- Gradual process of evolution means one must come to the platform of understanding Brahman. Aham brahmasmi: "I am spirit soul, and I am part and parcel of the Supreme Soul." This understanding one must come
- Gradually the duration of life will be reduced to twenty to thirty years. These are all stated in the sastras. Sastra means which is correct to the point. Just like this sastra, SB, it was compiled five thousand years ago, but the statements are correct
- Gradually the ocean water is also being dried up. It is evidence that water was here. We are also research scholars. Everything we are
- Grain of rice is not man-made; it is sent by God. "O God, give us our daily bread." So here is the bread. It is God's mercy. Just see how great idea. What is given by God, that is also God. This is God consciousness
- Grains are offered, fruits are offered in the fire sacrifice. It is through the fire. So as the part and parcel of Krsna, we have got little fire; we eat through that
- Gramya-vyavahare kaha ei pandita, tai satya mani - The people, the ordinary people, common people, they say that 'You are so great scholar, so rich man, minister.' They say like that. But I know that I am fool number one. I do not know what I am
- Grass, plants, trees, cannot move - being eaten up by four-legged animals. And the four-legged animals are being eaten by the two-legged animals, human being. Just try to understand how weaker section is serving stronger section. That is the law of nature
- Great loss. He (Dr. Rao) will get again good birth to become Vaisnava. There is no doubt. He was initiated. Again he will get chance
- Grha, we can take this material world, even up to the sky, that is also another bondage. Either in society, or in country, or in this body, or within this material universe - wherever you are - that is andha-kupam, dark well
- Grhasthas, those who are householders, their money should be spent for good cause, not for drinking and eating meat and dancing. No

- Guru Maharaja has strictly forbidden, - Don't try to imitate big personalities like Haridasa Thakura, Rupa Gosvami
- Guru means weight, heavy, heavier, that heavier in knowledge. So you have to find out a person who is heavier than you, not ordinary. Must go. Not that may go or may not go. No. Must go. Tad vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet
- Guru must be speaking on the strength of Vedic knowledge, not manufacturing. He's a rascal
- Guru will say that, "Yes, you're right. The soul was there." How it is right? "No, in sastra." "What is that sastra?" "In Bhagavad-gita it is said, dehino 'smin yatha dehe
H
- Had I been Bhagavan, then why I have become servant of maya? Therefore we are engaged in the service of maya in so many phases and different names
- Had you been in the sun, you would have been immediately blown up, burned into ashes. But you are in the sunshine, the energy of sun. So Krsna, the Supreme Lord, is situated as the supreme fire, and whatever we are experiencing, that is His energy
- Hanuman, he became very angry, and he set fire to the golden kingdom of Ravana. Without being angry you cannot set fire to other's house. So he did it, but he did it for Ramacandra, not for his personal sense gratification
- Harati means take away. He comes here just to give you benediction, to save you from all kinds of miseries. Therefore His name is Hari
- Hare Krsna and omkara, there is no difference, so far the transcendental sound vibration is concerned. But the objective is different
- Hare Krsna is transcendental sound vibration. Narottama dasa Thakura says, golokera prema-dhana, hari-nama-sankirtana. This hari-nama-sankirtana is not a cinema song. No. It is golokera prema-dhana
- Hare Krsna mantra has got the power to neutralize the resultant action of your all sinful activities. That's a fact. But don't accumulate again sinful activities. Then you are safe
- Hare Krsna mantra is not ordinary sound. It is para-prakrti. Golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. Hari-nama-sankirtana is not this material sound. If you think it is material sound, you are rascal
- Hare Krsna mantra is spiritual mantra. It is not material. Therefore I've already explained, golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. It is not ordinary sound vibration, material sound vibration, radio. No. Spiritual
- Hare Krsna mantra means you become free from all sinful reaction of life. But if you think that, "I have got an instrument, chanting Hare Krsna mantra, so let me commit all sinful activities, and I shall chant Hare Krsna, it will be nullified," no
- Hare Krsna means addressing the energy of God, Hara. God is with His energy. Just like fire is with its energy, heat and light, similarly, God has got energies, many energies. The principal energies are the spiritual energy and the material energy
- Hare Krsna means when I hear the sound, the transcendental sound vibration Krsna, that means Krsna is on my tongue, on my ear
- Hare Krsna movement means one who is serious to understand this science, he's member of Hare Krsna movement. There's no question of he belongs to some group, he belongs to some . . . anyone, student
- Hari hari biphale janama gonainu. These songs are very instructive. Simply purposefully, we are drinking poison
- Hari means who takes away all subjective things of fearfulness. That is Hari. He takes away all our miserable condition of life, Hari
- Hari-nama-sankirtana is not a material sound. Therefore it is effective. But if you contaminate it, it will not be effective
- Hari-sambandhi-vastunah. Vastu means substance or thing which has connection with Hari. This stone, wood, air, fire, water - five gross elements - it has connection with Krsna. Krsna says in the BG, bhumir apo 'nalo - BG 7.4
- Haridasa Thakura also went to Jagannatha Puri. But because he was born in a Muhammadan family, the priest class, they would make howling, "How this Muhammadan is entering?" So he never entered the temple
- Have you got any power to revive this working power of this hand? No. You have not. One hand will work; another hand will stop. Who stops? - These things are to be taught. How can I deny?
- Have you invented something that man will not die? Then it is approved. They are dying. You have given facilities to die earlier. That is atomic energy
- Having sex life with wife, there is a great ceremony which is called garbhadhana ceremony, and all the higher caste, brahmana, ksatriyas, vaisyas especially, they are to observe ten kinds of reformative process
- He (a big man) simply pushes one button, and everything, agreement and everything, comes immediately signed. So because his management is so perfect, his business is so perfect that so many men are working in his office
- He (a child) is born in a pure family. That's all right. But there are other ceremonies, reformatory ceremonies, and this thread ceremony is also one of the ceremonies
- He (a child) is offering obeisances, he is offering a flower. This is bhakta. And he is thinking of . . . man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam. Even a child can do. Where is the difficulty?
- He (a devotee born in candala family) is not only personally becoming purified, but his parents, his father, his brother. sa kulam. Kulam means the whole family
- He (a devotee) knows not automatically, but he learns from the spiritual master, the representative of God. Then he becomes perfect. Otherwise asura
- He (a disciple) wants to do everything for the Society. In this way he develops love of Krsna. And in the final stage he loves only Krsna and nobody else. And because Krsna includes everyone, that means he loves everyone
- He (a dog) also eats, and the human being also eats. He eats the stool and we eat very nice, palatable foodstuff. That sleeping propensity is there, sex life is there, and he is also afraid of enemies. Where is the difference
- He (a hog) will accept stool, because his body is meant for that purpose, and he will not like any palatable foodstuff. He will like that stool. This is the spell of maya
- He (a learned person) knows that it is a dog or it is a cat on account of this body. He is neither cat, neither dog, neither I am human being. We are all spirit soul, aham brahmasmi. This is real understanding
- He (a medical practitioner) was condemned to death. So after the condemnation, when he was coming out of the courtroom, I saw that he (a big lawyer, Mr. Allston) was flattering, "Don't be disappointed. I shall get you out by appeal." This is going on
- He (a neophyte devotee) can advance when by the grace of Krsna he understands, "Here is a Vaisnava. Here is an innocent man. He should be given some enlightenment." That is preacher - when he'll feel for others
- He (a nondevotee) may rise up by endeavor to a certain position as he imagined, "This is the best position." Just like we are also trying to occupy the best position - to become associate of Krsna, to live with devotees
- He (a person) does not know what is good. Real goodness is to understand God. That is real goodness
- He (a pure devotee) says - Wherever Krsna will keep me, I shall remain there. It doesn't matter whether heaven or hell. I don't care for it
- He (a sea surfer) has to pass through the fish life. There are 900,000 different species of life. Then you again come to the land - you become trees, plants and so on. Two millions different forms you have to go through. That is evolution
- He (a true follower of the Krsna consciousness movement) is a perfect gentleman. That's all. You cannot find any fault in him. That is perfect Krsna consciousness. They are prohibited not to eat meat
- He (a vaisnava) is unhappy by seeing others unhappy. He has personally no unhappiness, but he is para-duhkha-duhkhi. Just like Prahlada Maharaja. All the Vaisnavas, you will see. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- He (a Vaisnava) knows that "Everywhere I will be protected by Krsna," so he has no problem. Therefore real Vaisnava, he wants to deliver all these fallen souls from this miserable condition of life
- He (a vaisnava) knows that "I have no necessity. My only business is to serve Krsna." So he's happy in all condition
- He (a vaisnava) may be appearing in different dress, but he is servant of Krsna. This vision should be enlightened. Then he will remain fixed up in devotional service, and certainly he shall remain successful of life in this very life
- He (Acyutananda Swami) was so convinced that "What this rascal (Akhandananda Swami) can say to me? I know. I have heard from Krsna." This is knowledge
- He (Akhandananda Swami) is a Mayavadi sannyasi. So Acyutananda Swami went to sell some books in their camp. So his disciple requested him, "Why don't you ask some question from Swamiji?" So he said, - What I have to ask from him?
- He (Allen Ginsberg) has promised to me that, "Wherever I shall go, I shall chant." I asked him that if he was there he can see me again
- He (Allen Ginsberg) is also searching after, therefore he comes. Whenever he finds opportunity, he comes to me. He's searching after Krsna
- He (Allen Ginsberg) likes me. Simply his only objection is that I am very conservative. He said: "Swami, you are very conservative." Because I forbid so many things. He cannot. Otherwise he would have joined me, but he cannot
- He (Arjuna) argued, - No, no. If I fight, my people will die, and their wives will become widow, and they will be adulterated, and then, by adulteration, unwanted population will increase, and who will offer sraddha
- He (Arjuna) did not like to fight, but for Krsna's sake he fought. So fight for Krsna, work for Krsna, think of Krsna, eat krsna-prasadam, talk of Krsna, read for Krsna. So Krsna, Krsna, Krsna, Krsna, Krsna, Krsna. This is life. This is KC
- He (Arjuna) is perplexed, "Which one, which side will be glorious? I shall stop fighting or not fighting?" When you are in such perplexity, what to do and what not to do, so in order to get right direction, you must approach the spiritual master
- He (Arjuna) is speaking, - Even in exchange of kingdom of the three worlds, I am not prepared to fight
- He (Arjuna) said that, "Even they usurp my kingdom, I do not wish to kill them." So this affection, this bodily affection, was not very much approved by Krsna. He said that - You are talking like a non-Aryan
- He (Arjuna) was a good man, religious man, devotee. Naturally he was not inclined to fight with his relatives, kinsmen
- He (Arjuna) was a military man, and his sva-dharma, his occupational duty, was to fight. So that fighting capacity he engaged himself in the service of Krsna, and he became a devotee. Krsna certified, bhakto 'si
- He (Arjuna) was first of all judging, "If I kill my cousin-brothers, my grandfather, there will be bad result. I'll go to hell." Now, later on decided, "Hell or heaven, I don't care for it." That is called anasritah
- He (Arjuna) was thinking in terms of his own benefit, "Whether I shall go to hell or heaven." That was his contemplation. Therefore he was taught Bhagavad-gita
- He (Asvatthama) manufactured this deadly weapon. It is material. Still, it is so deadly weapon, brahmastra. He was not working in a laboratory, finding out so many chemicals to make an atomic nuclear weapon. Simply water
- He (Aurobindo Ghosh) understood that there are activities even after liberation, but he could not understand Krsna, so hard it is. Others, the so-called sannyasis, just like Ramatirtha or Vivekananda, they could not approach even, in the modern age
- He (Bilvamangala Thakura) was too much addicted to one woman, Cintamani. So his father died, and he did not marry. In your country it is called girlfriend, and in our country it is called prostitute. So he was that about that prostitute, Cintamani
- He (Brahma) had four faces, four heads, and there many Brahmas came with hundred thousands of faces. That was exhibited by Krsna
- He (Brahma) has got one night also, and similarly, one day and night, then one month, then one year. In this way he lives for one hundred years. So during this period of daytime, Krsna appears once. That we learn from the Vedic literature
- He (Britisher politician, Lord Macaulay) reported that - If you keep Indians as Indians, you'll never be able to rule over them. They must be trained up in such a way that they would think their own culture as useless
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) can say anything. He can manufacture anything. No, that He does not do. He does not violate the principle
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) decided that, - Now I shall become a sannyasi." So He happened to see Kesava Bharati, a sannyasi on the Sankara sampradaya, and He requested him that "You give Me sannyasa
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) delivered Jagai-Madhai. They were very sinful. Sinful means they were born in a respectable brahmana family, but by bad association they became drunkard, woman-hunter, cheater and plunderer, like that
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) doesn't say, dharmartha-kama-moksa (SB 4.8.41). He never says. To become religious, that is nothing; but that is the beginning, because without religion, everyone is animal, cats and dog
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) has strictly forbidden, mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva-nasa: (CC Madhya 6.169) If you hear this Mayavadi speaking, then your future is doomed. You are finished
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) knows that grhastha has sex life, so He never rejected. So if you want sex life, become a grhastha. Just have a wife and live peacefully
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) left home for the benefit of the whole human society. This is vairagya-vidya
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) preached this acintya-bhedabheda-tattva. Means that jiva, simultaneously one and different: one in quality and different in quantity. This is very reasonable. And it is confirmed in the Vedas, Upanisad
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) said, janmani janmani: "Life after life, I want to be engaged in Your devotional service." This is real characteristic, and that should be followed. So this is the essence of Vedic knowledge
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) started the civil disobedience movement, and He called for one lakh of men, to join the sankirtana and go to the Kazi's house. Immediately it was done. Just see how much influential He was
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was feeling separation of Govinda, Krsna, so intensely that He was thinking one moment as twelve years. So these are mahabhava. Great transcendental ecstasy can be achieved simply by chanting this Hare Krsna mantra
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was only twenty-four years old. His lovable wife, beautiful wife, very very serving; mother, so affectionate mother; but He gave up everything, took sannyasa
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was so happy in His family life that even the demigods cannot expect such happiness but He gave up. Why? He took this mission just to show mercy to the fallen conditioned souls who are suffering in this material world
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was so influential that simply by His calling, hundreds and thousands of men immediately joined to go to the Chand Kazi's house to perform kirtana. So just imagine what was His social position, so popular, leader
- He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was very influential. When He was twenty years old the Kazi (the Mussulman magistrate) broke the mrdanga in sankirtana. And He started the civil disobedience movement, and He called for one lakh of men
- He (Caitanya) quotes one verse (CC Madhya 20.106) from Naradiya Purana, that anyone who is very serious, one who is serious about knowing himself perfectly, and if he seeks in that way, then his perfection is guaranteed
- He (Canakya Pandita) was living in a cottage, not accepting any salary. And as soon as Maharaja Candragupta wanted some explanation,immediately resigned. This is the standard of persons who are born in India
- He (Darwin) does not know. He has caught up some words from this Padma Purana and tried to give his own invention. The evolution is already there
- He (Dhruva Maharaja) was insulted by his stepmother. So he wanted to retaliate, five-years-old boy. So he inquired from his mother, "How can I do it?" The mother advised that, - You take shelter of God. He can help you
- He (Dhruva Maharaja) went to the forest and meditated for six months, and when he saw God, then he said: "My Lord, I am now fully satisfied. I don't want any benediction from You." That is the real realization of God, there is no more want
- He (Dr. Frog) will never think that beyond his estimation. He'll simply calculate, "All right, if not one, two feet, three feet. All right, ten feet." And the friend will say - No, no, it is very, very great
- He (Dr. Radhakrishnan) has mentioned Bhagavad-gita as a mental speculation in his Indian Religion. So he is such a great offender, he must suffer. But it is good for him. Because he is a gentleman, therefore his offenses are being compensated in this life
- He (Dr. Radhakrishnan) is known as a very big scholar, philosopher - he also does not understand Krsna. And Bhagavad-gita means Krsna. Krsna is speaking
- He (Durvasa Muni) was a great yogi. And anyone, great personality, we should ask his blessing for making advancement in Krsna consciousness. That's all
- He (Durvasa Muni) was such a powerful yogi. And he took only one year to come back again. So still, he was defeated by a devotee. He was very angry
- He (Gandhi) was disgusted, and his countrymen also became disgusted, so that he shot him down. This world is like that. You give service to somebody - he is not satisfied; you are not satisfied. Frustrated
- He (God) is asking that you surrender. He is not forcing. God can force you - He is all-powerful - but He doesn't interfere with your independence
- He (God) is full of joy. So we, as part and parcel also, we are full of joy. So unless we come in contact with the Supreme, our joyfulness will never be fulfilled
- He (God) is so complete that just like the sun, the temperature is being distributed for million and millions of years, still it is full of temperature
- He (God) knows everything. In the Bhagavad-gita also He says that, "I know past, present, future everywhere." So consciousness is there. One is the supreme consciousness, and the other is this limited consciousness
- He (God) made some rules and regulations, "Do this; do not do this." And if you do this, what is not sanctioned, then you suffer. God forbade not to eat the apple - I do not know actually - but by the request of Eve, Adam ate it, and he became conditioned
- He (Guru Maharaja) never asked anybody to become acarya. He asked that, - You form a governing body of twelve men and go on preaching, and Kunja Babu may be allowed to remain manager during his lifetime
- He (Hanuman) fought with Ravana not for his personal self, but Rama wanted that, "He has kidnapped the queen of Rama. She must be delivered," and there was fighting. That is the principle
- He (Haridasa Thakura) never entered the temple. Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave him just an apartment where He was living, just by the side. And every morning Caitanya Mahaprabhu was coming to see him
- He (Haridasa Thakura) wanted to preach the glories of name, but there are teachers with title. Acarya title was given to Haridasa because he was chanting daily, regularly
- He (Hiranyakasipu) indirectly, he thought that "If I get benediction like this, I'll automatically become immortal." What is that? "Now, no man can kill me." "All right, that's all right." "No demigod can kill me." "That's all right." But he forgot God
- He (Hiranyakasipu) took so many benediction, but he did not take this benediction, that "Even God cannot kill me." That he forgot. Therefore, ultimately, with all his intelligence, he failed to become immortal
- He (Jayadeva Gosvami) writes, nindasi yajna-vidher ahaha sruti-jatam: "My dear Lord, now You have appeared as Lord Buddha. You are decrying the Vedic rituals." Sruti-jatam. Sruti-jatam means Vedic. Why
- 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 Christ) says nice thing, "Father." Krsna is the supreme father. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita: aham bija-pradah pita
- He (Jesus) is the only way. We also admit. Because he is the representative of God, so if you want to approach God, you must approach through His representative
- He (Jinnah) was neither Muslim nor Hindu. He was an intelligent barrister. His father - means not real father - his father was Parsi, and he kept one Muhammadan girl. So the Jinnah is the issue of this - Muslims against the Hindus
- He (Junior Haridasa) was living in the company of Caitanya Mahaprabhu as in renounced order of life, but he had at his heart for sex life, so immediately he was rejected. Of course, this was a great stricture. But He never rejected grhasthas
- He (Kamsa) sometimes wanted to kill Devaki; then he restrained himself that, "If I kill Devaki in pregnancy, it will be bad reputation." So he restrained himself
- He (Kardama Muni) thought that "I wanted to marry, so Krsna has sent such a beautiful, exalted girl, daughter of the emperor . . ." So he accepted. And he (Vaivasvata Manu) left the daughter with Kardama Muni and he went away
- He (Karna) advised that "Make her (Draupadi) naked in this assembly." To become naked in the . . . so many people, that is a great insult for woman. So actually, they tried to insult. Not tried, it was fact. But Krsna saved
- He (Kesava Kasmiri) began to pray, and Mother Sarasvati informed him that, - He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) is God, my husband. So you speak means I speak. So how can I defeat my husband
- He (Kesava Kasmiri) was also great worshiper of Mother Sarasvati. Then he began to pray to Sarasvati, - Mother Sarasvati, by your grace I have become victorious in so many places. And what is this, that I am defeated by a boy who is a grammar student
- He (King Rsabha) instructed that human society should be dhira, self-controlled. That is ideal human society. That is Vedic civilization
- He (Krsna) again spoke the science of Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna because the parampara was broken. Sa kaleneha nastah. Otherwise there was no need of speaking Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna
- He (Krsna) can take your service in any way. But the point is that because you cannot see beyond this metal and wood and stone, therefore He comes in that form, so that you can see
- He (Krsna) canvasses, "Please give Me something," as if He is in great need of it. He is not need of it. But if you hear Krsna and if you give something to Krsna, then it is for your benefit
- He (Krsna) chastised him (Arjuna), "This kind of proposal is anarya-justam. Under the non-Aryans, you're forgetting your duty." That is the beginning of loss of culture
- He (Krsna) comes that, "You surrender. Don't give Me pain. You just abide by My order. That will give Me pleasure. You will be happy." That state of consciousness, to abide by the order of Krsna, is Krsna consciousness. That's all
- He (Krsna) could force Arjuna to surrender, or anybody, because He is Supreme Lord. But that force He does not apply, because He has given us little independence
- He (Krsna) does not require anyone's service, because He's complete. There is no want. Unless He's perfect, how He can be the Supreme?
- He (Krsna) doesn't like it that you should dance like that, but he wants. "All right, you dance. You can take the facility, dance." Just like my Guru Maharaja, Tirtha Maharaja wanted his property. "All right, take this property." But what he is doing?
- He (Krsna) gave him (Arjuna) information that formerly, one king, by the grace of Lord Siva, he got information of a big gold mine, or gold mine mountain. So that king used to manufacture so many things of gold
- He (Krsna) has allowed us, "All right, you have come here. Try to satisfy yourself. But there are certain rules and regulation." If you break those rules and regulation, for your interest Krsna takes the measures
- He (Krsna) has described (in Sixth Chapter of Bhagavad-gita) different process of yoga system. That's a fact. But He concludes that one who is thinking of Krsna always within himself with faith and love, he is the topmost yogi
- He (Krsna) has described the symptoms of sadhu. By the last three, four slokas, He has described what is the symptom. Everything should be accepted by the symptom, characteristic
- He (Krsna) has explained in different ways, but the beginning is this, that this body is changing. You had a small body, baby's body. Where is that body? If I say, "Where is that body?" what you will answer?
- He (Krsna) has given little freedom, so do whatever you like. But He is simply taking the chance, "When this rascal will turn towards Me?" That is His business. That is stated in the Vedic sastra, that two birds are sitting in the same tree
- He (Krsna) has got a schedule to come upon this planet. And when He comes there in Mathura-Vrndavana. That is His headquarter within this universe. Therefore Mathura-Vrndavana is so important
- He (Krsna) has got a scheduled time also, to appear in this universe. We get information from authentic scripture. Indrari-vyakulam lokam mrdayanti yuge yuge
- He (Krsna) is acting as God; He is instructing as God; He is accepted by the acaryas as God; still, these rascals are searching out God. This is their position
- He (Krsna) is being served by many thousands of goddess of fortune. Then what is this value of this leaf and flower and fruit? But still, He says, tad aham asnami, "Yes, I eat them." And once God eats from your hand, then your life is successful
- He (Krsna) is directing according to your desire - unless you surrender. There are two kinds of direction
- He (Krsna) is enjoying His flute in the company of Srimati Radharani. So His very position is enjoyer. And we are servants
- He (Krsna) is explaining what are the demonic characteristic. So, napi cacarah. They even do not know how to live nicely
- He (Krsna) is far million, million times or unlimited timely greater than sun. Then He is reflected in everyone's heart. That is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita: isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati - BG 18.61
- He (Krsna) is for everyone. Otherwise, how you Americans, Europeans and others outside India, how you are accepting? Because originally Krsna is your father, everyone's father. Mamaivamso jiva - BG 15.7
- He (Krsna) is giving reference to the Brahma-sutra, Vedanta-sutra. So our line is like that. Even God Himself, He can say something new? No
- He (Krsna) is guiding as friend, but He speaks directly with the living entity as soon as we are purified by devotional service. Tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-purvakam - BG 10.10
- He (Krsna) is not coming in this universe, but He is, just like some governor or viceroy, he also tours many places. So Krsna is touring. So to complete all the circle, it takes so many crores of years. Just like the sun is touring
- He (Krsna) is not exposed to the nondevotees. He's simply exposed, He can reveal Himself, when one engages himself in the devotional service beginning with the tongue
- He (Krsna) is not nirakara. But we cannot estimate His akara. That is nirakara. Nirakara means to estimate. We cannot estimate how big He is. Nirakara does not mean formless
- He (Krsna) is ordering completely that the subject matter of this body is not very important thing. The most important thing is to understand about the spirit soul which is within the body
- He (Krsna) is ordinary man. A little better than me, that's all. - That Dr. Frog's philosophy. Atlantic was, "That's all right, may be little one feet more than this well, that's all." He cannot imagine that millions of wells will be not compared
- He (Krsna) is ready to give us advice from within and from without - from within as Supersoul and from without as the spiritual master. Therefore it is said, guru-krsna-krpaya bhakti-lata-bija (CC Madhya 19.151). Both things are required - guru and Krsna
- He (Krsna) is sitting in your heart, He is supplying you all necessities, He is giving you sunlight, He is giving you moonlight, He is giving you seasonal rains, fruits, flowers, grains, and you are so ungrateful that you do not acknowledge
- He (Krsna) is teaching Arjuna bhakti-yoga. Yoga means the means by which you can contact the Supreme. That is called yoga
- He (Krsna) is the master of all mystic powers, Yogesvara. So He can expand Himself in multiforms. That is explained. Advaita acyuta anadi ananta-rupam
- He (Krsna) is the only enjoyer. But as soon as you desire that you want to enjoy independent of Krsna, you are transferred to this material world
- He (Krsna) is the origin of everything. Don't you read Bhagavad-gita? Aham sarvasya prabhavah. The atomic energy is different from sarvasya. Sarvasya means everything. Everything comes from Him. The atomic energy must come from Him. Right conclusion
- He (Krsna) is the supreme living entity of all living entities. So if I am a living entity, I have got a form, so why the supreme living entity will not have a form? This is poor fund of knowledge
- He (Krsna) is very much pleased with the devotee. Therefore, His supplies are very immediate; and the demonic supply, that will depend on his work, karma. It will depend on the karma
- He (Krsna) is within this universe. He is within your heart, within my heart. He is within everything. "Everything" means even within the atom, paramanu. That is His Paramatma feature
- He (Krsna) knows what you are wanting because He is constantly seeing you. He is sitting within your heart, the same tree, two birds
- He (Krsna) never said Arjuna that "I am your friend. I shall supply all your necessities. You don't require to work. You stop." No, He never said that
- He (Krsna) never said that "Simply fight" or "Simply chant," because in the material world that is not possible. Therefore chanting must be there, but at the same time, you have to work how to continue this movement
- He (Krsna) reciprocates by pretending to be dependent on me, my slave, just to give us opportunity to find the real object of our loving propensity and to take pleasure by pleasing and serving Him
- He (Krsna) says in the beginning: "I come, I descend, just to reestablish the principle of religion." Does it mean that He came to support Hindu religion, Muslim religion, Christian religion? No. He came to reestablish religion
- He (Krsna) says sastra, Vedic evidence, must be accepted. The Vedic evidence is very chronologized in the Vedanta-sutra. He especially mentioned brahma-sutra-padaih. Brahma-sutra means Vedanta-sutra
- He (Krsna) says that, "I have got two business: paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam, dharma-samsthapanarthaya . . ." Unless these two things are there, there cannot be establishment of real law and order
- He (Krsna) says the plain truth, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). He is saying to everyone. So if we do not do - we have got little independence - then we are in this miserable condition of life
- He (Krsna) says this is duhkhalayam asasvatam, this is the place of misery. And asasvatam. You cannot make any arrangement, "All right, Sir, let it be duhkhalayam. Let me remain here." No. That also you cannot remain. You'll be kicked out
- He (Krsna) says, repeatedly, "If you enter into the highest planet of this universe, still, your repetition of birth and death will continue. But mam upetya, if you come to My planet," - Oh, there is no more rebirth. No more. You get your eternal life
- He (Krsna) showed by practical example. He is accepted by great, great sages like Narada, Vyasadeva, Devala, Asita. That is also stated when Arjuna accept Him
- He (Krsna) suggested that "I think if My devotee gives their dust of foot on My head, then I'll be cured." Then every devotee was approached that "Give your dust of feet. Krsna wants it." Even Narada
- He (Krsna) will directly speak with you. And so long you cannot, then He sends His representative, the spiritual master, the guru. You can ask through the spiritual master about Krsna. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah
- He (Lord Buddha) also appeared in India. Why? He was also Hindu. He was ksatriya, king. He promulgated this philosophy, ahimsa, when there was unnecessary killing of animals
- He (Lord Buddha) became very compassionate that, "All these poor animals are being killed unnecessarily." So he promulgamated a new type of religion - Don't commit violence. If I pinch your body, you feel pain. You should not pinch others
- He (Lord Buddha) is the incarnation of God, but he is preaching amongst people who don't believe in God. So he is cheating in this way that, - Yes, there is no God. You hear me
- He (Lord Buddha) knew that, "These foolish men will come and give me evidence that 'Here in the Vedas animal sacrifice is recommended. Why you are preaching? Why you are preaching stoppage of animal killing?' " Therefore he completely rejected Vedas
- He (Lord Caitanya) doesn't want even mukti. Otherwise, if one is liberated, then according to Bhagavad-gita and every Vedic sastra, punar janma naiti, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). That is mukti
- He (Lord Caitanya) had His very beautiful and obedient wife, Laksmi devi, sixteen years old. She was by name Laksmi, and actually she was goddess of fortune . . . and His mother was so affectionate, there is no comparison
- He (Lord Caitanya) informed us that the Absolute Supreme Personality of Godhead can descend also in transcendental sound vibration, and thus, when you chant Hare Krsna mantra offenselessly, we immediately contact Krsna and His internal energy
- He (Lord Caitanya) is very sympathetic with the fallen souls of this age. He understands, these conditioned souls, cannot execute the regular process of perfection. Therefore He has bestowed His benediction that you simply chant Hare Krsna and be perfect
- 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) was threatened with death punishment. He was crucified. Still, he was convinced his relationship with God. Here is a devotee, example of devotee
- He (Lord Siva) gives more stress: aradhananam sarvesam visnor aradhanam param tasmat parataram devi tadiyanam aradhanam. - And more than Visnu worship is to worship the devotee of Visnu
- He (Maharaja Pariksit) did not disbelieve (sufferings in hellish condition of life). He believed. Because he is Vaisnava, he knows. And he is disciple of Sukadeva Gosvami, so he has thorough knowledge. Now he is anxious
- He (mayavadi sannyasi) feels inconvenience without varieties of life. The Bhagavata says, "Their intelligence is not clean." "Although they rise up to the brahma-jyotir," patanty adho tatah, - they again come back
- He (Mr. Lloyd George, British politician) was asked by somebody that, "Why you are not truthful?" So he answered that, - Truthfulness is the qualification of an ass
- He (My eldest son) could not sit down even for one minute. This is the nature. How can you stop your consciousness working? That is not possible
- He (my German Godbrother, Sadananda) told me that "In my childhood, in the First World War, the ration was controlled. Only children, we could get fat, butter." He showed his wristwatch - This quantity only, once in a week
- He (My Guru Maharaja) had so many temples all over India, and he used to say some time that, - If by selling all these properties, temples, if I could turn one man to Krsna consciousness, then my mission will be successful
- He (my Guru Maharaja) is the first time that he allowed the sannyasis to drive in a motorcar. A sannyasi never drives in a motorcar, you see? But not for sense gratification
- He (Narottama Das Thakura) says that - If you are anxious to go back to home, back to Godhead, and become associate with Radha and Krsna, then the best policy is to take shelter of Nityananda
- He (Narottama dasa Thakura) is lamenting that, - This spiritual sound vibration is so nice that it can give us relief from these material pangs, but I have no attraction for them
- He (Narottama dasa Thakura) is liberated, but representing ourself. "My dear Lord, I am very unhappy." "So I am praying Lord Nityananda to make me happy." Rakho ranga caranera pasa - Please keep me in some corner of your red lotus feet
- He (one who becomes Krsna conscious) thinks everything is all the same. "Either you put me in the hell or heaven or this or that, it is all the same." Because he is always with Krsna, chanting Hare Krsna
- He (one yogi) showed some fiery spark coming from his jata. So the constables were hesitating to arrest him, but Bhaktivinoda Thakura ordered, "Yes, immediately arrest him. Handcuff." So he took him away, arrested
- He (ordinary criminal, thief) does not know that police is not the supreme power. The supreme power is the president or the minister of law and order. He thinks, "This constable is everything." So poor-class thinking, they think nature is everything
- He (pandita) knows that - These Americans, these Europeans, these Africans or these Indians or these cows, these dogs and the elephant, the trees, the plants, the fish - they have got different dress only, but the soul is the same
- He (Pariksit Maharaja) did not take care of the other things. He immediately took care of the suffering planets, because that is the Vaisnava's nature
- He (Pariksit Maharaja) was a devotee of Krsna from the very beginning of his life, and thus he enquired, - Whether it is better to absorb the mind in Krsna consciousness?
- He (Pariksit Maharaja) was emperor of the world and he was going to die. This news was spread, and all big, big men, great saintly persons, even demigods, they also came to see him. And he was asking everyone, - What is my duty?
- He (Prahlada Maharaja's father) also underwent great austerities, but for material enjoyment. He wanted to live forever in this material world. So he was never interested to teach his children about Krsna consciousness
- He (Prahlada Maharaja) advises, "Give up this darkness," hitvatma-patam, "because it will kill you." In this dark well you'll be killed
- He (Prahlada Maharaja) is more than the demigod. He's so elevated, but still, he's personifying himself with the atheistic class, because he's born in that, from that father. That is humbleness
- He (Prahlada Maharaja) was born by a demon father, but his quality changed. When his mother was instructed by Narada Muni, everything was changed. If the demons cannot be changed, then where is the meaning of preaching
- He (Prahlada's father) was very powerful king, and whatever he ordered (to throw him into fire, to give him poison, to pull him from hill), his servant carried out. But he was saved in all circumstances by Krsna
- He (Prahlada) refused direct service but he wanted blessing that he may be engaged in the service of his spiritual master. This is Vaisnava conclusion
- He (Prahlada) was given everything, but by his that refusal, He (Nrsimhadev) was very much pleased. Not that He was offended, "Oh, I am offering, and you are not accepting?" No
- He (Ramananda Raya) had no position to instruct Caitanya Mahaprabhu. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave him the place of instructor, and He took the position of a listener. Just see Caitanya Mahaprabhu's pastimes
- He (Rupa Gosvami) has such a position, minister, drawing high salary, and association all the big, big men of the country or the society. But he gave them up - sada tuccha-vat, that "What is the use of this?" This is called vairagya
- He (Rupa Gosvami) was minister. Who can become his friend unless he is also a very big man? So Rupa Gosvami gave up their (big, big leaders, zamindars, big, big men) company
- He (Rupa Goswami) was very rich man; he was minister. When he retired, fifty percent of his money he spent for Krsna, and twenty-five percent he kept reserved for personal emergency, and twenty-five percent he gave to his relatives
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) first of all said that - Actually, I do not know what I am, and why I am subjected to the miserable condition of life
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) inquired from Him, ke ami keno more jape tapa-traya (CC Madhya 20.102): - My dear Lord, kindly let me know who am I and why I am put into the threefold miserable condition of life
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) was handcuffed; and because he jumped he could not swim so by the waves of the Ganges he was carried away. I could not save him. "You tell the Nawab like this." So he (superintendent of jail) thought it is nice, wise advice
- He (Sanatana Gosvami) was inquiring that "Why I am forced to accept all kinds of miserable condition of life?" But, - For you there is no such thing
- He (Sanatana Goswami) has strictly forbidden. Those who are not Vaisnavas, professional, for money's sake they recite Bhagavata, any, anything. They want money
- He (sannyasi) is doing as my duty. I am Krsna's servant, I have to do it. If I do not do it, then it is my misbehavior
- He (Satyakam) came back and said Gautama Muni, "My mother said that she had many friends. She cannot say who is my exactly father." "Oh, you are brahmin. Come on. I will initiate you." Qualification - he said the plain truth
- He (scientist) is mixing the chemicals, hydrogen, oxygen, acid and alkaline. He's mixing, and there is reaction. Then something is coming out. He's doing that. Still, he says, "There is no God." What is this foolishness?
- He (Socrates) was going to be hanged or killed. He is fearless: "But what is this nonsense? He (judge) will kill my body, that's all." So it requires very firm knowledge
- He (spiritual master) does not invent anything. He does not say, "In my opinion," "I think," "Perhaps," "It may be," just like the modern scientist, philosopher says. No. This is not our process
- He (spiritual master) is perfect because whatever he is speaking, that is the statement of the perfect person
- He (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu) Himself, Krsna, and Nityananda Prabhu is immediate expansion of His personal self - Advaita Prabhu is incarnation of Krsna, or Visnu, Mahavisnu, three
- He (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu) taught personally, how to raise oneself to the topmost stage of love for Krsna. That is the ultimate aim and object of life
- He (Svarupa Damodara) has completely understood that so-called scientific knowledge is bogus, it has no solid background. Now he's writing books on this
- He (the ass) does not know what is happening. Therefore he is agreeing, "All right, load with me any number of heavy weight. I shall carry." He does not know it is suffering
- He (the gentleman) was very rich man, and the Nawab of Bengal, Hussain Shah, when he was a boy, he was his servant. Later on he became the Nawab, the king
- He (the king) had to become a lizard, that Krsna delivered him. So this is karma-kanda. If there is little discrepancy, then there is great risk. Then jnana-kanda
- He (the king) is also supposed to be God's representative. God gives power to somebody to look after the interest of the inhabitants of that particular planet. Similarly, there is a king in the sun planet
- He (the king) was trained from the beginning of his life as prince. As the future heir of the throne he was trained, and at the same time, he was guided by a council of learned sages and brahmins
- He (the poor man) came back and appealed to Sanatana Gosvami that "Lord Siva told me you have got something most valuable. I don't think this stone is most valuable. Otherwise, why would you keep it with the garbage
- He (the poorest man) lives peacefully still, in the village, although he hasn't got very gorgeous dress and motorcar. But he's peaceful. You'll find still. Sometimes, about ten years ago, I was in Ahmedabad. I saw one poor man, pulling cart, hand cart
- He (the priest) said, - No, you are mistaking. Jesus Christ is Lord. He is not one of you, like worker. No. He's Lord. So if you don't appreciate him, don't worship him, then you will go to hell
- He (the sage) was very, very sorry, but what can be done? The brahmana boy's curse (on Pariksit Maharaja) must be effective. That because in those days brahmanas, even by caste, was very, very strong in spiritual strength
- He (Vena Maharaja) is advising, "Reject religion. No more charity, no more sacrifice, no more worship. Stop all this nonsense." Then what is the condition of the society? So that is being done
- He (very big scholar) has got some scientific knowledge, but he's busy to find out a nuclear weapon, how to kill other enemies. This is the research work. No. That is demonic
- He (Vivasvan) spoke to his son, Manu. Manu spoke to his son, Iksvaku. In this way the parampara system is coming. And that is bona fide. This is our philosophy, to accept knowledge from the perfect person or his bona fide representative
- He (Vyasadeva) has explained all these books for use of the human society undoubtedly: how to become religious, how to develop economic position, how to understand what is liberation, how to satisfy restrictedly sense gratification
- He (Yamaraja) is meant for punishing. That is just like superintendent of police or something like that, big officer, inspector general of the police department or the minister in charge of law and order
- He also taught about God. Krsna consciousness means God consciousness. So why Jesus? Anyone speaks . . . but one must know. There are degrees
- He became a victim of this lusty woman, and then he lost his good character and left home and his young wife, coming of very respectable family. He forgot everything. Then, in association with this prostitute, he gradually became degenerated, degraded
- He can assume so small body. Just like Pariksit Maharaja, when he was within the womb of his mother, attacked by the atomic energy, so Krsna entered the womb of his mother and saved him. Just imagine how small He became
- He can say that, "I cannot see, on account of distant place, the planet," but you see the nearest. So you cannot see distant place things and you cannot see nearest. Then what is the value of your eyes?
- He can show Arjuna the virata-rupa, the universal form; at the same time, He can talk with Arjuna as ordinary friend. This is Krsna
- He can simply engage himself in that lusty desire for material existence. Durapurena kamena. In this connection there is a very instructive story - it is fact - that the Emperor Akbar, he enquired from his minister
- He cannot understand that after being cured from the disease, he will eat very nicely, he will lie down on the bed very nicely, he'll have no miserable condition of life. He cannot understand
- He delivered his kingdom, his everything, at last his body, and Krsna became purchased by him. And since then, Bali Maharaja is one of the twelve authorities
- He does not consider that "I am seeing under certain condition, and I am so much proud of possessing my eyes." This is called foolishness, abodha-jatah
- He does not know what is the power of Krsna, how much He is Yogesvara. Still, he is falsely claiming to become Krsna
- He does not think of his position, that at any moment he will be kicked out of this platform of so-called leadership, educated teacher, and he is commenting on the words of Krsna. This is going on. He does not understand his position, that - What I am
- He does not think that, "I am spoiling my blood. And if I spoil my blood more, then I shall be attacked with so many diseases, I will lose my resistance power." He does not know. But he thinks that sex enjoyment is very nice. It is not nice at all
- He falsely claims that, "I have become God now." Does it mean amanitvam? And here, Vaisnava says, gopi-bhartuh pada-kamalayor dasa-dasanudasah (CC Madhya 13.80). This is amanitvam. - I am servant of the servant
- He further did not attempt to talk with Him. He went away, and the Mother Sarasvati advised him that, "You surrender unto Him. That will be your nice role." Yes. So later on, he became a great devotee of Lord Caitanya, Kesava Kasmiri
- He gets a skyscraper building, throughout his whole life laboring. But he cannot stay there. He'll be kicked out. Is it not ass? Is he not an ass? He cannot stay there. Anitya samsare. Anitya. Because it is not the permanent settlement
- He goes to the forest and he'll think of woman and money, what is the use? By his action, it will be proved. The same way, taking rest, sleeping, and doing everything whimsically. So Krsna knows everything
- He had no more gas; he cannot supply. He became so much infuriated that he shot him dead. This is the result of this modern motorcar civilization
- He has asked his father, "My dear father, what is this?" The father has explained, "My dear child, this is microphone." If the child says, "This is microphone," then that is perfect, because he has learned it from his father
- He has associated with a particular type of the material qualities, therefore he has to accept a particular type of body. Karanam guna-sango 'sya. Therefore we are instructing our students, - Associate with the good qualities
- He has decided to work only for Krsna consciousness; therefore his happiness is under his own control. He hasn't got to seek happiness externally. The happiness is controlled, controlled by him
- He has dedicated his life, his mind and words for Krsna, he is able to deliver himself and his family; but this man who is puffed out with false prestige, he cannot deliver himself only, and what to speak of his family
- He has done such and such thing; therefore he should be promoted, - "He has done such and such thing; he should be degraded," "He has done such and such thing; therefore he should go back to home, back to Godhead" - all these judgments are taken
- He has got a scheme, but he has no scheme where he is going either to hell or heaven. That scheme he has forgotten. He's trying to make scheme so long this fifty years, hundred years. You see? This is going on
- He has got so many degrees and he's a rascal and he's durjana, a bad man? - "Yes." "Why?" Suppose a serpent, he has got a gem on his head. Is it not fearful? Very good example
- He has his obedience to God, natural. Even the aborigines in the forest, they also submit to the manifestation of God's different energies. As soon as there is some lightning and there is thunderbolt, they immediately offer obeisances
- He has no idea what is absolute truth. He is in darkness. He does not know there is absolute world. This is the relative worlds
- He has no sense, "So why I have taken so much overload? I can get grass anywhere. Let me remain free." But he has no such sense. Neither he will be allowed. (laughs) This is ass
- He has to change only; instead of becoming servant of maya, be servant of Krsna. Servant he is. Where he'll go? How he will become master
- He hasn't got to go to church, to temple, or to go to hell or heaven. In whatever condition he is, he can chant holy name of God. But they're so unfortunate, they won't accept this theory
- He hasn't got to work. Because people are very much perplexed how to get shelter, how to get food. But he has got the chance. He hasn't got to endeavor for food and shelter and other necessities of the body
- He is also person. I am also person. What is the difference? Eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman. That one maintains all these innumerable living entities. Therefore in the Bible you go and ask God, "Give us our daily bread." He is maintaining
- He is being killed within the womb, & he enters another womb; there also he may be killed again. This is the law of nature going on. But they do not know; do not care. They think that, "This child is being killed - I am safe." But you may also be put into
- He is calculating in that way, "Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." But Atlantic Ocean is beyond his conception. So these are all Dr. Frog's philosophy. Yes. And the so-called philosophers, they are Dr. Frog
- He is causing the transmigration of the soul, yantrarudhani, sitting on the machine of this body. So both the living entity and God is sitting within this machine. So within your body, my body, and everyone's body - even an ant's, elephant's, tree's body
- He is coming personally and He's saying, - I am the proprietor, I am the enjoyer, and I am everyone's friend. If you want to be delivered from this miserable condition of material life, I am your best friend
- He is conditioned by the mind, and he is thinking "independent." Mudha. Therefore mudha. Tri-gunamayair bhavaih mohitah. He is illusioned by the three modes of material nature, and he does not know Krsna, and he is thinking - independent
- He is dependent on God, Krsna. Still, he'll not agree. Krsna will come as death. Krsna says, "To such rascals I come as death." Then they will believe that there is God
- He is equal to the devotee and nondevotee. Whatever the nondevotees want, Krsna supplies. And whatever the devotees want, Krsna supplies
- He is fanning me. Why? Because I am feeling unhappy due to warmth of this room. Then again, in winter season, I'll not like this fanning. This fanning will be uncomfortable. So a thing which is now comfortable, a few days after, it will be uncomfortable
- He is forced to accept a certain kind of body by the material nature. That he does not know. This is non-Aryan. Like dog: he does not know that why he has got this dog's body. He simply has learned how to bark, that's all
- He is given the chance, "All right, go to the material world and become a master." But that is a falldown. So he's trying struggle for existence, and everyone is trying to become master
- He is happy personally, but because He knows that "These drunkards, woman-hunters, prostitute-hunters will suffer very, very severely, so why not deliver them?" This is Nityananda Prabhu, Vaisnava
- He is himself a poor man. But he has no knowledge to understand it. Why he is falling down from the skyscraper and killing himself? Why? A poor man commits suicide. So if he is committing suicide, he is a poor man. He falsely thinking that he is rich man
- He is honestly carrying that money and delivering you. That is the post peon's business. Similarly, our duty to receive perfect knowledge from Krsna and distribute it. Then it is perfect
- He is initiated, the activities begins officially. Then as he make advance in activities in devotional service, then all the unwanted things - the so-called illicit sex life, meat-eating, drinking, gambling, even up to smoking and drinking tea - finished
- He is mukta-purusa, liberated person. He is chanting Hare Krsna mantra without any offense. And when pure chanting will be there, then he awakens his original dormant love of Krsna. This is the result
- He is not a scholar. He's a rascal. We have to follow the acaryas. The acaryas never said. There are so many acaryas. They never say
- He is not fifth-class man. He may be born in a fifth-class family, but he is not fifth class. Just like Prahlada Maharaja. Prahlada Maharaja, directly his father is a great demon, but he is not demon
- He is not happy, he is distressed (by being forced to work), but he is thinking, "I am happy." This is called maya. So this knowledge is required that, - Why I am forced?
- He is not making any eternal arrangement - I shall live here for fifty years or sixty years as an American or as an Indian. Make me gorgeous arrangement, defense and so on, so on, so on
- He is not well situated; therefore he is trying to be well situated by some artificial means of intoxication. That's all. He wants to divert his attention, but that is not perfect
- He is present within and without, but still we cannot see Krsna. That is my foolishness, that is my imperfection. You have to become perfect, then we will see Krsna everywhere. That is morning sadhana, spiritual consciousness, advancement
- He is so complete that purnasya purnam adaya, from the complete, if you take the whole complete, still He is complete
- He is such a big man that he goes above the acaryas. Ati-buddhi galaya dekhe. "If one is overintelligent, hang him." That is a Bengali saying
- He is suffering in this material world, changing in different types of bodies, one after another, and the propensity to lord it over the material world is going on
- He is Supreme; we are subordinate. God is great, and we are under Him. Just like in a family the father is the chief man, and the next important is my mother, and we all children, they are all subordinate to the father and mother. The father earns
- He is thinking that "I am independent. I can do what ever I like," ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham (BG 3.27). We have to give up this. Then vipascit, sahasa vipascit. Otherwise we have to continue the miserable condition of life
- He is thinking, "I am independent," barking, attacking somebody. Oh, he is thinking he is free to do everything. When one comes to this sense, that he is not free, that is beginning of human life
- He is thinking, "I am very strong. I have got so power, so much jaws & nails. I can jump over any animal & immediately kill him." He is pleased in that position. But you know the tiger or the lion, they are so unfortunate that they do not get daily food
- He is thinking, "This is a combination of this matter - earth, water, air, fire. So when it will be broken, then everything will be finished. So, so long I have got this opportunity, let me enjoy to the fullest extent." This is called material mentality
- He is trying to find out pleasure other than Krsna; therefore he is being baffled. Unless he comes to Krsna there is no pleasure. That he does not know
- He is under the influence of the material nature. The tiger may be very powerful, but he remains always hungry. Because the other animals, they know that in that corner of the forest there is tiger, nobody goes there. Where he can get food?
- He is very educated. - Mayayapahrta-jnana. He is so-called educated. Actually, he is not educated, because he does not know what is God
- He is without any duality, but the Absolute Truth is known as in three features: by somebody as Brahman, by somebody as Paramatma and somebody as Bhagavan. - Actually, He is Bhagavan. Paramatma is His universal feature
- He Janardana, You are maintainer of the people. So if the people become sinful, so it is very difficult to maintain them. - These things are being considered
- He knows better than you. So why, what is the use of expressing yourself, making business: "Please, Sir, I am in distress. I have come to offer You some flower and fruit - please get me release, from?" God also does that, but what is the use of?
- He may be an American, he may be an Indian, he may be Christian, he may be Jew, he may be Hindu or Muhammadan. Doesn't matter. He's a practiced medical practitioner, so he's a qualified man. I have gone there for my treatment
- He may be in the form of a man, but if he has not heard about Krsna, if he has not given aural reception to krsna-katha, then he is pasu, animal. And what kind of animal? Dog, hog, camel, asses
- He may be, in the calculation of academic education, he may be B.A., M.A., Ph.D., D.A.C., or something like, doctors but if he has got his identification with this body, he's not a learned man according to Bhagavad-gita
- He may say-he's a rascal, he can say so many nonsense. That is not the standard
- He may think that "Oh, here is a starving man. I must give him some food." But you are liable to be punished. So first of all learn how to do good to others. So that is described here. Tasyaiva hetoh prayateta kovido - SB 1.5.18
- He must be conscious that - I do not want all these things, miserable condition of life, and they are enforced upon me. I cannot check them; they are coming. No, there must be somebody superior whose law is being forced
- He must be trained, by our example, by our teaching, by our work. Santa yam cinvanti kutih. By word, by example, he should be corrected
- He must be very serious: "Yes, if there is God... We have seen, we have been informed about God. So I must see." There is a story in this connection. It is very instructive; try to hear
- He must give the right knowledge. Then he is bona fide spiritual master. Otherwise he's a bogus. Jnana-prada. And without real knowledge, our life is useless
- He must have some companion, but he doesn't want family, the botheration of family. Then dog is the best friend. What can be done? This is going on, and it will increase more and more, more and more
- He organized one lakh of people to join in the sankirtana movement, and all of them went to the house of Kazi. And Kazi was afraid, the public opinion is against him, so there was some compromise. Compromise means it was victory for Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- He promised before his spiritual master, before the Deity, before the fire, "No illicit sex," but he's having illicit sex. So how he is advanced? He's not even truthful, the first qualification. He's unclean
- He promised that He would not fight, but Bhisma promised that either He should fight or His friend would die. So therefore He prepared to fight
- He said - "Krsna, the opposite side, they are all my brothers and nephews and fathers and grandfather. So there is no use of fighting like this, to kill them. let them enjoy." But Krsna induced Arjuna, - No. This is the right cause. You must fight
- He said: "No. I have not seen (men dying out of starvation)." Still, these are pleas that, - People are dying of starvation, people are dying naked
- He satisfies His fighting spirit - at the same time, He protects the devotees and protects that enemy also by killing him. Because when a demon is killed by the by the Supreme Lord, he is at once liberated
- He sees that one who has stolen property, he is arrested by the police and taken into the custody. He has seen it, he has heard it. We experience. We gather our knowledge by seeing and by hearing. So both things he has done, but still he is stealing. Why?
- He sees that, "To become a tiger is my success life," a very strong body. They are exercising, to become very strong, stout
- He thinks that "By killing this body, I am free from this bodily miserable condition of life." No. He's immediately . . . either he has to accept a next abominable body or he'll have to become a ghost, one who commits suicide
- He thinks that, "I am body," deha. And because from this body, I have got relationship with my wife, "Oh, she is my great friend," and the children, - They are my soldiers. They will protect me
- He thinks, oh, that "I shall live forever. Therefore let me do whatever I like. There is no question of responsibility." Oh, this is very risky life. And this is the most covering part of illusion
- He thought something rascaldom, and he is expressing that. Therefore he is more rascal. These things are going on. As soon as he reads some books, he becomes an acarya, whatever rascal he may be
- He wanted to exhibit such fighting spirit, so who will fight with Him? Ordinary living being cannot fight with the Supreme Lord. Therefore some of His devotees, some of His associates, must fight with Him
- He wants to give service, but because his service is not rightly placed, he is frustrated. Just like in our country, Mahatma Gandhi, he gave so much service to his country, and his countrymen shot him down, dead. Not recognized
- He wants to satisfy his senses or expanded senses. His senses or family senses or nation's senses, community senses - the purpose is sense gratification; it may be centralized or expanded. This is the world going on
- He was aware that only seven days remaining. So Maharaja Pariksit left his kingdom and sat down on the bank of the Ganges, and fortunately his spiritual master also came. So there was discussion on the Srimad-Bhagavatam for seven days
- He was coming without any disciples. He made friendship, canvassing that, "You stay with us." And he canvassed that, "I have brought such Australian student." Like that
- He was meant for this knowledge (Vedas), but he remains like cats and dog; therefore he is not satisfied, therefore he takes drug to forget himself. This is the philosophy of drug
- He was not satisfied. He (Acyutananda) touched his feet, but still (started shouting). Then what can be done? He is a rascal, that Damodara Maharaja. Nobody likes him. I guess he is mad
- He was surprised, and he said, "Tell Krsna that four-headed Brahma." Brahma has four head. So Krsna called him, - All right, come on
- He was talking on the chariot as His friend, but when Arjuna wanted to see the universal form, Krsna showed him that universal form, gigantic form, everything including. So that Krsna is Paramatma, and Bhagavan and Brahman
- He will die and others will die. So what is this meaning of this responsibility? Even if you take as very responsible man, you cannot do anything. That is not possible. You cannot save
- He will go on, go on killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing. He is never satisfied, "Now I have killed so many. No more. Stop." No, there is no stoppage. That will go on
- He will starve to death, but he will not accept. You see? He will think, "Oh, I am born in a brahmin family. How can I wash your dishes?" This is false prestige
- He would have lived for, say, sixty years, and you drop atom bomb - in ten years or twenty years, finished. You cannot increase the duration of life. Therefore the so-called scientific advancement, Duskrtinah: no benefit for the human society
- He'll falsely think that, "I am God." Yogis, if they can show some mystic yogic power, then naturally foolish people will think him that, "Oh, here is God." And he's satisfied with that
- He'll sit down whole day and night and chant Hare Krsna. No business. No endeavor for food. If food comes by God's grace, they (Six Gosvamis) will eat; otherwise no, they'll not go anywhere. Completely dependent, - If God gives, then I shall eat
- He's (Hitler) advertised very adversely, but if it is a true fact, then how he could have this human consideration that he did not throw the nuclear weapon. And this was taken by the Americans and it was thrown in Japan
- He's (the brahmin) simply thinking of the activities of Krsna and Arjuna. That's all. That is perfect reading of Bhagavad-gita. It does not require to read Bhagavad-gita by your academic education
- He's already an ass because he's part and parcel of Krsna, and he has come to this material world to enjoy. That is ass mentality. There is no enjoyment. So he's already an ass
- He's attractive to the animals, He's attractive to the trees, He's attractive to the flowers, He's attractive to the water, and what to speak of human being. He's attractive; therefore His name is Krsna. Krsna means all-attractive
- He's habituated to some certain habits, and he falls diseased on account of that. He knows that, "I committed this mistake in respect of my healthy condition, so I'm now punished by this disease." He knows, and he has suffered, but why he commits again?
- He's not seeking after where is eternal happiness. Temporarily, he's seeking here, seeking there. Bhutva bhutva praliyate. In this way his life is finished, seeking ananda, and he gets another body, another term
- He's required to read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly. It is said clearly, "This is a place of misery." Why do you desire to keep yourself in this? That means you do not understand what is spiritual life
- He's so much indebted to the gopis that He said that "I cannot repay your debts. It is not possible." Krsna, the all-powerful, all opulences, but He had no means to repay the debts of the gopis. This is the position of the gopis
- He's thinking in the human form of sex in a very nice apartment, so many, so many, decorated, it will change the quality of the sex between dogs and dogs. No, that will not change. The same taste
- He's thinking that "Unless I overload my back with this cloth, I cannot get this grass." Although he sees there are so many thousands and thousands of grasses all over, still he'll serve that washerman. Therefore it is called ass. No intelligence
- He's thinking, "The dog's life is very nice, this liberation of sex life on the street." - All right, you take dog's body
- He's trying to be happy, but they do not know what is eternal happiness. We're also trying for happiness, but our aim is eternal happiness
- He, as Paramatma, is in everyone's heart. But that does not mean everyone is Krsna. You are in this room. That does not mean you are room. Without God we have no existence
- Hellish condition of life is meant for the persons who are rotting in these material modes of nature
- Here (in America) even one problem, in another country, another problem, another problem, another problem. He must be problematic. Because anyone who is not Krsna conscious, he must be punished by the laws of nature
- Here (in material world) everything is relative. Just like if I say: "father," "father" has no meaning if there is no son. Duality. If I say: "good," so unless I have got idea of bad, I cannot understand good
- Here (in New Zealand) also, we have opened temple. We invite anyone. If one person thinks that he is in scarcity or he has no . . . I don't think in your country such person is there. But still, if there is, he is cordially invited
- Here also we can experience that some of the living entities, just like the fishes, they are living in the water very peacefully. But if you are put into the water, you will not be comfortable. Perhaps you will die
- Here are scriptures who are telling, speaking about God. If you have no faith in scripture, there is no other process to know God
- Here Bhagavan comes personally, He leaves His instruction, He's accepted by the acaryas, and our young men have become so much advanced in education that they're asking what is God
- Here by the side of wall, this house, there is a tree. It has grown. Just see: that tree is not even within the jungle. In a small space it has grown all sides surrounded by house, and it is alone. Just see how much condemned life
- Here everyone is trying to become master, and everyone wants to avoid service. But by the nature's law, one has to become servant and render service, going on
- Here everything is duality, relative knowledge, relative world, but in the absolute world everything is one, spirit. Because here we have got experience two energies, spiritual energy and material energy, working
- Here God says that "I have created." So God's creation is not limited. Suppose the sun is creation of God. It is not for India or for Australia - it is for everyone
- Here in Hawaii we see that children and elderly person also, the whole day and night simply jumping in the sea. Someone is swimming, somebody is doing something else, how they're wasting time. But they have taken, - This is civilization
- Here in the material world everyone is inclined to gratify the senses. This is material world. Everyone is trying. Ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunam ca (Hitopadesa 25). The best type of ahara-nidra
- Here in the material world we serve somebody with a motive, for some material gain. But in the spiritual world, to serve God means - It is my duty. I love him. I want to serve Him
- Here in the material world, a thing which is very big, it cannot become small. But Krsna, because He is the almighty God, He can become the greater than the greatest and the smaller than the smallest
- Here in this human form of body is a chance. Lower than this human form of life you cannot understand self, atma-tattva. It is not possible
- Here in this material world goodness is supposed to be very nice quality, but here the goodness also, temporary. There is chance of being affected, or infected with the other quality, sattva-rajas-tamo guna
- Here in this material world he is actually the small particle of God, but there is disagreement. He is falsely thinking that "I am as good as God." This is material life. When we are free from this wrong conception of life, that is liberation
- Here in this material world the living entity, although by nature it is to be enjoyed, but out of ignorance the enjoyed is claiming to be enjoyer
- Here in this material world the name and the substance, different. Just like if I am thirsty, I want water. So the water must come to me. If I simply chant, "Water, water, water," that will not be effective, because it is relative world
- Here in this material world, everyone is trying to enjoy life independently. Now we are simply teaching, "No, that is not possible." If you want to enjoy independently, then you become subjected to the laws of material nature
- Here in this material world, love is 99.9% all frustration, because the love is not reposed to the proper place. The proper place is Krsna. If we love Krsna, then we can love everyone
- Here in this material world, the calculation of friend and enemy, everything, is in the relationship with this body, or sense gratification. But realization of God or the Absolute Truth, there is no such material consideration
- Here is a boy. He is a professor. So if I ask him, "Please go and dance on the footpath," will he agree? A professor will agree? But when a professor dances, there is something. You should understand

- Here it is the real purpose of human life: vasudeva-para veda vasudeva-para makhah, vasudeva-para yogah. There are so many yogis. I can clearly say that without Vasudeva, yoga - simply pressing the nose, that's all - this is not yoga
- Here Krsna is addressing Arjuna, anarya: non-Aryan. - You are ksatriya. Your service is now required to fight with persons who have created injustice. So what is this, that you are denying to fight

- Hiranyakasipu tried to live forever. He underwent severe penances to become immortal. It was not possible
- Hiranyakasipu wanted to live forever, and he underwent severe austerities. The so-called scientists are also saying that, "By scientific method we shall stop death." This is also another crazy utterances. That is not possible
- Hiranyakasipu was chastising him (Prahlada Maharaja) in so many ways. But he was not afraid at all, fearless, because he was convinced that "I am not this body. I am different from body." "I will not die." It is simply knowledge, firm knowledge

- I have traveled in Australia and come to your country, New Zealand. So far material necessities are concerned, you are all well-to-do. So why this question of frustration (among younger section), as Goswami Hanuman-Prasada was speaking?
- I hear that these Naxalites are taken to slaughterhouse to learn how to kill. Do you know that? Somebody was telling. Yes. Your husband was telling
- I heard that my mother-in-law was married at the age of seven years. I was grhastha, and I was also married . . . My wife was eleven years. So in that minor ages, there is no actually love between husband and wife
- I know about my body, about the interest of my body. If somebody wants to kill me, I take protection because it is my body, ksetra
- I know little more A-B-C-D. I am, therefore, a big scholar. I can interpret Bhagavad-gita in my own way. - This is useless
- I know something about my body or I know something about this world. Similarly, there is another atma, supreme atma, who knows everything of this universe. He is sometimes called God or the Paramatma or Krsna, according to different language
- I know that I am not this body, theoretically or . . . but if somebody comes to cut my body, I will be very much protective. Although I know . . . I cannot feel that "I am not this body; let the body be cut off. I don't mind." No
- I know that if I attack this infection I'll suffer, still I, ah, become infected, and again I suffer. Again I go to the physician, he gives me medicine, again I'm cured, again. This is going on
- I know that this nuclear weapon was already discovered by the German people, and Hitler, it is said that he did not use it. Because he knew it that - If I throw this nuclear weapon there will be devastation
- I know, all educated and advanced educated Englishmen, they were coming to Australia for good job. Therefore most of the technical posts, they are occupied by Indians in London
- I learned that British people, they like Indian physicians. They have got faith that these people treat carefully
- I love Krsna, or God, and Krsna loves me. This is our exchange of feelings. So in this way, the science of God, even without reading any Vedic literature - of course, that will help you - if you have deeply studied what is God, you can understand God
- I love my children, I love my wife, or I love my country, my society. Love is there. But this love is not giving me satisfaction. We are disappointed
- I love my wife because she satisfies my senses. I love my husband because he satisfies my senses. Actually, we are servant of our senses. As soon as the sense gratification is disturbed, then - No, no, I am not going to serve you
- I love this body because I live in this body. I do not love your body or another's body, but I love my body. Why? Because I live in this body. This is proprietorship
- I may be fool, you may be fool. That's all right. If you carry Krsna's message, then you are right
- I may be imperfect - I am imperfect, actually I am imperfect - but I am carrying the message, Krsna. Krsna says: "I am the SPG"; we say: "Krsna is the SPG." Krsna says that, "You surrender unto Me"; we say, - Just surrender unto Krsna
- I may be now American or Australian, very nice living, very nice motorcar, roads, everything, but why I am forced to leave immediately? This is the problem of life. Janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- I may be very good swimmer, but that is no hope. That is no hope of my life. Any moment, I can go down into the depth of the ocean. Similarly, we are struggling very hard in this material ocean of existence. Simply struggling
- I may say in this connection that so much difficult process for purifying the atma is very easily done, by chanting this Hare Krsna. Because the sound, this transcendental sound vibration, is nondifferent from Krsna
- I mean to say, even there are other sects, as you say, Maharshi, they accept also indirectly Krsna as the supreme authority. Because if we say Maharshi belongs to Sankara sampradaya, you said just like
- I must cure patient. Then I will be known as medical practitioner. So guna-karma-vibhagasah: not only quality but also practice
- I never keep my Bhagavata on the floor. I keep always my head. So better you take it. I keep my Bhagavata either on this table or on the head, and never on the floor
- I never said to all these European and American disciples that "You become a Hindu." I never said. Ask them. I never said
- I never was a scientist, neither I am a psychologist, neither a psychiatrist, neither this or that. But I speak on the strength of Bhagavad-gita, I defeat them. It is practical. So many people came to me, but nobody went unharmed
- I prayed to Radha-Krsna that, - I am leaving You, Sir, with these innocent boys and girls. They want to serve You, but they are not yet competent. Kindly take care of Yourself and give them intelligence so that they can serve You
- I profess some religion, but I do not know what is God and how to love Him. So that type of religion is cheating religion
- I remain animal, but my advancement is because I am very nicely dressed. That is the standard now. But the Vedic civilization is not. The animal must change the consciousness. He must be trained up a human being
- I said: "Give me six dollars." Immediately he took this (Teachings of Lord Caitanya) book. - Such a nice book I have never read. So either it is printed or not printed in our press, I must take this book
- I saw in Paris, in Germany, they are not as rich as the Americans. Because American inland, there was no such big war, so their opulence is existing. But on account of these two wars, British completely finished
- I saw that one friend asking another friend, "Can I take my showers in your room?" Then I understand, - Oh, there is no fixity of even taking bath
- I say that even vegetable you are killing, but that killing responsibility goes to Krsna. We are killing for Krsna. Suppose in the vegetable there is life, but we are preparing food for Krsna
- I say to my American and European disciples always that your nation, American nation, you have got your birth in a very rich nation or rich family
- I say: "American? Oh, they are my friends. Russians? They are my enemies." Why? What is the platform of this distinction? The platform is body
- I see that Krsna has given you good intelligence, and you have improved very much. And fortunately, therefore, very good leader Sriman Madhudvisa Maharaja will come, so each of you learn how to worship Deity, chant Hare Krsna mantra in this way - ecstatic
- I shall earn money, eat nicely, drink nicely, enjoy nicely. That is the aim of life. - They do not know. Etam drstim avastabhya. Their vision is so polluted
- I shall give you one tangible example in the life of Mahatma Gandhi. You know he was a very great man, political leader in India. So he was also very God-fearing man, a very nice soul. But he also committed mistakes so many times
- I shall go by the staircase and reach the upstair at the end of the day when office will be finished, - then you can do that. But if you are intelligent, you shall take the advantage of the elevator; within a minute you go there
- I shall not die in the air. - "Yes." "I shall not be killed by any animal." "Yes." In this way, whatever intelligence he got, but he forgot one thing, that "God cannot also kill me." Because maya is there, he forgot it
- I shall not independently make any plan, but I must accept the standard plan which is coming directly from the supreme consciousness through a channel. You have to seek that channel
- I shall purchase another batch, I shall make profit. In this way, I shall be millionaire. Then I shall marry, and my wife must be very obedient. Otherwise I shall kick. - So in this way, he (the potter boy) kicked over the pots and all of them broken
- I should not be servant of my senses. And that is possible when I am situated in the spiritual platform of consciousness. Otherwise it is not possible
- I should render my service in all circumstances, without any expectation of profit or return. A pure devotee does not ask any return from Krsna. Rather, a pure devotee refuses, even if he is offered by Krsna, because that will be business
- I spent all my energy in this piling of stone and wood in this life, and next life if I become a rat or cat in their house, then what is the profit? There is possibility, because after death you cannot say that, - I am going to be like this
- I supply to some customer inferior quality of goods - to another customer I supply superior quality of goods. Is there any partiality? No. That is not partiality. So God gives you result of your actions. Samo 'ham. He is impartial
- I take care of my apartment because I live in that apartment. I'm not going to take care of your apartment. These are common sense. And sastra confirms it, asmin dehe. Dehi. Dehi means the proprietor
- I take charge of yoga-ksemam. - yoga-ksemam means what is not in possession, to supply that thing. Just like if a child is completely dependent on the parents, the parents has the sense that, "My child requires at this time this thing." They already there
- I tell you my practical experience. I wrote some letters some good foundation that "I want to start here in America an institution for God consciousness, international institution for God consciousness. You kindly help me." Now, they have flatly refused
- I think in Sydney. Some boy, present, he was . . . "We have to supply food to the hungry who are dying without food, in starvation." Then when I asked him, "How many men you have seen dying out of starvation?" he could not reply
- I throw one kind of weapon, and if you are expert, you can counteract it. Now they have discovered the nuclear weapon, but they have not yet discovered the counteraction
- I understood, "The Americans are very rich. Why they are lying on the street?" I was surprised. But see, even in such rich country like America, they're lying on the street - no fixture of sleeping, no fixture of sex life
- I want eternal happiness, I want complete knowledge, I want eternal life also. That is the ultimate end of yoga system
- I want to be a philosopher. - "I want to be a scientist." So all this nonsense, they are trying to play - Krsna is giving him the opportunity: "All right." But it is a nonsense, all nonsense. Simple dreaming
- I want to be the richest man, the world. - That was the British policy - ambition. Material ambition is like that. It increases more and more
- I want to control death, disease, but I cannot. Everyone is trying. As soon as one is diseased, he tries to control it. He goes to take help from other, the physician, but he cannot. Therefore he is not supreme controller
- I want to develop Gauda-mandala. So in yoga-pitha they could not build even a darsana-mandapa in fifty, sixty years. So we can construct a, what is called, hall
- I want to speak to the public something, I have expressed my opinion in that way. But because it is popular, you are taking advantage of my book and expressing your views. How much cheater you are. Therefore he is suffering, Dr. Radhakrishnan
- I want to touch some soft place to enjoy the sense of this hand, touch sense. But if the hand is covered with gloves, I cannot enjoy that sense so nicely. You can easily understand
- I wanted rice, I wanted fruit. You could not give me. So why do you claim that you can feed everyone? That you cannot. You are falsely claiming
- I wanted some quotation from a place of this Teachings of Lord Caitanya. So the man came, he said: "Swamiji, first of all I must buy this book. Either you accept or not accept our quotation, what price I shall pay you?" I said - Give me six dollars
- I wanted to enjoy something. Krsna gives us full opportunity: "Now here is the opportunity. You can do it." Anumanta. He's so kind. But that is not our actual business
- I was chanting in the Tompkinson Park in New York, and many of them were coming. So I invited them, "Please come with me. Take some prasadam." So they used to take that. In this way, gradually, they developed Krsna consciousness
- I was simply dreaming, "How to go to New York?" Actually I thought. I was scheming, "Whether I shall go this way, through Tokyo, Japan, or that way? Which way is cheaper?" That was my plan
- I was taken by my servant in the jungle to some . . . this vaidya. They cured me, and the dentist could not. I attended so many times to the dentist. I have got my practical experience
- I was talking one big professor who is in Russia, Moscow, Professor Kotovsky. He said, "Swamiji, after death, everything is finished." That bodily concept of life
- I was telling you that my Guru Maharaja hinted that "If you get some money, you publish book." So from the very beginning, I am trying that. So this is specific. Other, following rules and regulations, that is all right. But a specific
- I was told by some authority, a very responsible man, that in Germany there are musical institution, so when a student who goes there who knows something about musical art, he is charged more. Is it a fact
- I went to the beach: many young men, they were stout and strong, walking, running. They are interested in this body. They are not interested in the spiritual subject matter. That is the training they have got. Nobody is interested
- I will request you to study what is bhakti, what is pure devotion, what is Vasudeva. Everything is there. It is a science, great science. It is not sentiment, neither it is so-called religious faith
- I will speak to you about the symptoms of yoga system - "with authorized statement." He (Kapiladeva) is Bhagavan, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whatever He speaks, that is authorized. You cannot argue
- I will, "Come anyone." Who is bad, who is good I do not know. But I know even bad man comes, he becomes a good man. That I know. So who will come?
- I wish that you may spread real Vedanta. That is essence of Vedas. Vedanta means essence of Vedas. Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah - BG 15.15
- I wrote in my poetry. "The Absolute is senscient thou hast proved." That was striking to me. Not impersonal, "senscient thou hast proved, impersonal calamity thou hast moved." So even the many judges came in Allahabad
- I'll live for fifty years and sixty years, and the Darwin's theory, they are calculating gap of millions of years. There is a gap of millions of years, and we will live for fifty years
- I'll work and you'll enjoy. Why shall we work? - That is natural tendency. This can be possible only for Krsna. "I'll work; Krsna will enjoy." That's all. That is only possible in Krsna consciousness
- I'm claiming it is my hand: "I shall give you a good fist on your . . ." I'm very much proud. But I am not controller. The controller is Krsna. If He withdraws the power of the activity of your arm, you become paralyzed
- I'm not talking of religion, beliefs. I'm talking of science and philosophy
- I've explained to you that there are ten different names in the Sankara-sampradaya of the sannyasi, and there are 108 names amongst the Vaisnava sannyasa
- Ideal is that man must be first class and he must be responsible to take care of the woman, and she should be given all protection, all necessities. That is the duty of man
- If a boy is whiling away his time by playing, you can understand, "This boy is being spoiled." Similarly, by the direction of the scripture, you can understand what is the destination of a certain person
- If a child is born, I shall educate him in such a way that this birth will be his last. Next he is going to back to home, back to Godhead, - then produce a child. Otherwise don't produce. This is spiritual contraceptive. This is real father and mother
- If a female takes the part of a male and wants to imitate the enjoyment, it is simply false
- If a man also becomes similarly proud that, "I am big American," "big German," what is the difference? But that is actually going on, and therefore they are fighting like cats and dogs
- If a man asks you one thousand dollar, he is thinking, "He has to collect and pay me." But if you write a note, give it to Nanda-kumara, and he keeps it as check, and Nanda-kumara pays immediately one thousand dollar. So he will be surprised
- If a man is chopped of his head, and if he has got attraction, then he becomes a ghost without head. So at the present moment, all these so-called educated civilized men are ghosts without head
- If a man is ghostly haunted, he cannot have healthy condition. He's in a troubled condition, ghostly haunted
- If a man is thrown into this dark well as he is in this precarious condition of life, similarly, anyone who is in the material world, he is put into the dark well
- If a material president, insignificant, is always surrounded by his associates, so the Supreme Being, how He is associated with His surroundings, you can just imagine. He cannot be alone. That is Krsna
- If a murderer is hanged, then that is a favor shown by the government, because the next life you'll not have to suffer
- If a person who has committed murder, killed somebody else, then if he is punished by death, then the sinful activities which he has committed, that is counteracted. Otherwise he will have to suffer next life very severely, four times
- If actually one loves God, he must love everybody. That is the sign. Just like my heart is now thirsty. I am quenching with drinking water and putting here. So as soon as put this water here, immediately the energy distributed all over the body
- If actually one person is God conscious, he must be sympathetic with the troubles of his neighbor, or anyone, not only human being; animals also. They are also living entities
- If actually they are after something reality, they must accept. It is natural. They have been disgusted with this Christianity. Useless, that's all. But if they are actually serious, then they'll accept knowledge
- If actually we get Krsna, then we shall not consider any other profit more valuable than Krsna
- If any man had any money, he would spend it for Krsna, not for his personal self. Personally he would be satisfied with a cottage. That is India's civilization
- If any man wants to become rich man, he has to first of all accept unhappiness, to work very hard, day and night. Then he can get some money
- If any part of my body is engaged in giving service to the physician, that is not very palatable. But in healthy condition, when the parts and parcels of the body give service to the healthy body, that is very nice. That is pleasing
- If any Vaisnava is writing song about Krishna, that should be from one who himself has realized Krishna, just like our great saints and acharyas like Madhyacarya, Ramanujacarya, Rupa Gosvami, six Gosvamis
- If anyone actually wants to see, so he should see our books also, magazines also. Why does he not see? We send our boys in the streets with books. If you are not liking this saffron dress and dancing, why don't you read the books?
- If anyone comes back to Krsna, God, with a spiritual body, then he does not come back within this material world, which is full of miserable condition, duhkhalayam. That is maya
- If anyone depends on the master's mercy, he's a sudra. Here in Delhi, New Delhi, these big, big buildings, big, big officers, as soon as the government will fail, they will be street dogs, that's all
- If anyone develops God consciousness, then all the good qualities will develop automatically. And you give him all kinds of education, but if he is godless, it is all useless. - That is compared with decorating the dead body
- If anyone does not know how to live hygienically, healthfully, he must fall diseased. That's a fact. Similarly, one must have knowledge what is the value of this life, how I shall live, then he will be not subjected to the sinful activities
- If anyone is accepting God as the ultimate goal of religious process, that is also Vedic. Because Krsna says that vedais ca sarvair aham (BG 15.15). And a godless scripture, that is not accepted as religion
- If anyone is reestablished in his original, constitutional position as part and parcel of the Supreme and engages his energy in that way, he is liberated. This is the definition of liberation
- If anyone is serious about attaining eternal happiness . . . just like this patient in the hospital is following the physician's instruction - he has to follow it, voluntarily. This is called austerity
- If anyone is serious to understand God, so there is no objection. Just like if one is serious to understand some particular science, he goes to some other university in other country. That does not mean that person is fallen
- If anyone observes these four principles, he is considered a good man, and if he does not observe them, he is a bad man. So good men will take to this Krsna consciousness movement, and bad men will not
- If anyone poses himself to be a very good scholar of Bhagavad-gita, he interprets in his own way, he misleads himself and misleads others also. This is the position
- If anyone takes to Krsna consciousness, maya has to give him up. Maya cannot control anymore. That is not the jurisdiction of maya
- If anyone wants to be expert in Krsna consciousness to fight with maya, they must follow the principles of Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami
- If anyone wants to understand on the basis of philosophy and science, oh, we have got ample philosophy and science on this point. But if you accept it, then it is the same thing
- If anyone, either animal or man has his belly filled up with sufficient food, he'll never be dissatisfied. That is the nature. So unfortunately we are not following the instruction of Bhagavad-gita
- If at the end of life you can remember Narayana, then life is successful. You go back to home, back to Godhead
- If both the boys and girls remain brahmacari, then where is the unwanted population? Where is the question of this contraceptive method
- If by so-called scientific knowledge they want to defy God, then they are mudha, naradhama, useless
- If every children is obedient to the father, then father is happy and they are also happy. The father is also very open to satisfy the children. Father knows what is the needs of the children. He automatically supplies
- If God can provide food and shelter for cats and dogs, do you think God will not provide food and shelter for His confidential devotee? Is God so blind or ingratitude or unable
- If God eats, then why don't you offer Him to eat? Where is the harm? Huh? What is the harm? If your little fruits and flowers offered to God, He accepts it, why don't you offer it
- If God has given you so many basic things, then you can use your intelligence
- If God wants us to stop fight, then we shall not fight. Because we are surrendered to God, so whatever God orders, we have to do it. That's all
- If he (a jnani) persists to understand what is the Absolute Truth by his jnana method, by his speculative method, then still he will have to change many, many births
- If he (a Mayavadi) is not Krsna conscious, he may rise up to that position by endeavor. Then he will fall down. I have given this example, Nixon & Indira. This is factual. To come to take the post of prime minister, to become the president is not easy job
- If he (Lord Jesus Christ) wanted, he could take steps, but he was tolerating. So this is the sign of brahminical symptom
- If he (the child) repeats or he understands firmly, "My father has said. It is perfectly right," then his knowledge is perfect. The child may be imperfect, but because he receives the knowledge from the authority, father, his knowledge is perfect
- If he (the servant) cooks & enjoys himself without offering to the master, then what is his position? That is sinful position. Similarly the demons, they have no sense of God. They do not like to offer. They want to eat anything nonsense, like hogs & dogs
- If he acts individually then he will never be happy. But if you act Krsna consciously, then you will be happy. That is the whole instruction of Bhagavad-gita
- If he actually becomes wise, jnanavan, then he understands that only Krsna is everything. Vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma sudurlabhah (BG 7.19). That is real understanding
- If he becomes like cats and dogs, then he cannot attain this daivi sampat. If there is rules and regulation, restriction following, then gradually he will come to the platform of daivi sampat
- If he fails to find out a good master, then he's street dog. Dog's life is good, provided he gets a good master. So therefore we have decided to become dog of Krsna, the best master
- If he gives up one master, he must accept another master. May be better master, but master he has to accept. Just like dog. Without accepting a master, it is street dog. It has no position
- If he goes to the sea, he'll see Krsna. If you are thoughtful, you'll see, "Why such a big sea cannot touch my feet?" I am walking on the beach. There is order. There is order, "You cannot come beyond this limit
- If he has developed his love for God, then we accept he is following first-class religion. But if he has developed his love for dog, that is different. We have to test like that: whether he is loving dog or he is loving God, that's all
- If he has no connection with Nityananda and if he does not come to the Krsna consciousness, his vidya, or his so-called academic education, and kula, and birth in high family or great nation, will not protect him, because nature's law will act
- If he is in the association of passion, he is materially busy. And if he associates with the quality of ignorance, he becomes animals or animals-like man
- If he is innocent, if I say: "You do not know, this is . . ." "Oh," then he will accept. But he will protest, a rascal. Therefore the more one is innocent, simple, it is easy for him, KC. The more one is rascal, it is very difficult
- If he is Krsna conscious strictly - he does not deviate, he does not forget Krsna - then he is to be accepted as sadhu. Krsna says. That, only for that qualification. Bhajate mam ananya-bhak. That is the qualification of Krsna consciousness movement
- If he lives like ass and cow, without any knowledge, without knowing the values of human life, then he must be subjected to the sinful activities and will be punished one after another, accepting different types of body
- If he marries, why he should not take responsibility for maintaining? Why he should marry if he has no power of maintaining?
- If he remains satisfied with the miseries of this material life, then he's no better than the cats and dogs. Sa eva go-kharah (SB 10.84.13). So this is intelligence, to inquire about the miserable condition of life
- If He reveals Himself by His causeless mercy, being merciful upon you, being pleased upon you, then you can understand Krsna. You cannot search out Krsna. That is not possible
- If he says: "I don't believe it," that is his foolishness. Similarly, a thing which is beyond our conception, beyond our limit of knowledge, that should be taken from the authority
- If he sees that he is a medical practitioner, he has passed the M.D. examination and that he is practicing then people accept him as doctor, medical man. Nobody asks him, - Are you a brahmin? Then I make my treatment with you
- If he takes prasadam not as ordinary prasadam, foodstuff, he believes that "This is remnants of foodstuffs given to God," if he understands this philosophy, then guaranteed - becoming a devotee
- If he takes the prasadam as ordinary food, "All right, these people are distributing, prasadam let me take it. It is very tasteful," that will give him chance to accept prasadam
- If he understands that he's spirit soul, at least, then he becomes brahmana. Etad viditya. And one who does not understand, he is krpana. Krpana means miser. Brahmana means liberal. These are the sastric injunction
- If he's kept in darkness about that divya-jnana, simply if he is trained up how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sex and to defend, then life will be lost. That is a great loss
- If he's not clean, if he has, he does not know how to behave, it is difficult. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu is still more kind, that - Never mind whatever you are. Chant Hare Krsna and you become purified
- If he's satisfied only one building in Mayapur and two buildings in Vrndavana, that is his only ambition. The ambition is poor
- If here is not Krsna, then all the acaryas, they installed Deity in so many millions of temples, they're all fools and rascals? They ask us to worship some stone and wood? No
- If I (Krsna) do not set examples in this way, then the whole population of the world will be contaminated, and there will be unwanted population and the whole world will appear just like hell. It will not be inhabitable for good men
- If I am bigger, I control my office, or my factory, I control the country, I become president. In this way, controller, bigger controller, bigger controller, you go to the Brahma, the controller of the universe. But he is also not Supreme Controller
- If I am creator of something, so I cannot be under that particular thing which is created. It is logical. So therefore, because the Supreme Brahman, or Bhagavan, is the creator of this material nature, He cannot be under the control of maya
- If I am eternal, whether it is possible to get an eternal body? Or eternal happiness? That is the problem of human society
- If I am eternal, why I am put into this condition of changing, of transmigrating from one body to another? Is there any possibility of not changing the body, to keep eternality? - Yes. That is possible
- If I am following the dictation of my senses, then I am not the master of the senses; I am the servant of the senses
- If I am fully convinced that I am not this body, then if there is some injury or some disease or some mishap in the body, I am not concerned because I know that I am not this body. That is self-realization
- If I am great philosopher, scientist - everything - if I do not engage all these qualifications to Krsna's service, then I shall naturally become falsely proud, and that is the cause of my falldown. I will never be able to approach God
- If I am in darkness, I do not understand in what condition I am living, this is conditional life. That's . . . everyone can understand. That Sanatana Gosvami understood. And we should follow the footprints of Sanatana Gosvami
- If I am nitya, eternal, then I should be interested in eternal happiness. But the eternal happiness is not possible to enjoy by this body
- If I am one with the Supreme, how I have fallen in this condition? No. I am not one. I am one in quality, small particle
- If I am rich, you are richer than me, another richer than you, another richer than him. So nobody can say that, "I am the richest of all." That only God can say
- If I am servant of the senses, how I can become gosvami, how I can become svami? That is false, hypocrisy
- If I am servant, then I have to serve. So why shall I serve the senses' dictation? I will serve Krsna, what He says." So he's self-realized immediately, within a second
- If I associate with persons who are addicted to sense gratification, then that is also very dangerous. Because sangat sanjayate kamah - my desires and my propensities will develop according to the association I make. A man is known by his company
- If I become victim of the dictation of the senses, then I cannot make progress in my spiritual life; I am third-class, fourth-class man. Mind wants to steal something. If you can control, "No, why stealing?" Then you are master
- If I cannot understand it (Bhagavad-gita), that is my lack of knowledge, my poor fund of knowledge. Therefore Krsna has suggested, or ordered, in this Bhagavad-gita: tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya
- If I carry your message and educate people in that way, then there is no difficulty for me. Everything is there. Why shall I go to manufacture something imperfect? The perfect thing is already there. Simply I have to carry
- If I created my mind as an ordinary karmi, then I will have to stay within this material world to enjoy the type of mentality which I have created
- If I do not mistake, sometimes Jesus Christ is accepted as the father and sometimes as son. Because in the material world there is such distinction, master and servant, father and son, lower or higher
- If I don't take education and enlightenment how to become religious, I do not know how to distinguish between right and wrong, then yatha pasu - then I am as good as animal
- If I endeavor to understand what is Absolute Truth, my means of understanding are the senses. But the senses are imperfect. Therefore whatever knowledge I gather by exertion of these senses, that is imperfect. That is not perfect
- If I get facility for pushing on my missionary work, there is no harm in getting married
- If I go away from the within the body, then there is no more seeking after happiness. Either you throw it on the street or it is in extreme cold or extreme heat, it doesn't matter. Then who is seeking happiness? That they do not know

- If Krsna can make weightless so many heavy planets, is it very difficult for Him to make the Govardhana Hill weightless?
- If Krsna has been accepted as the supreme authority by so many big, big men, why should we not keep our faith in Krsna? Or Jesus Christ? That's all right

- If one has no money, no intelligence, he can use his words. He can go to the people, and he can say: "Please chant Hare Krsna." So this preaching work, the service of Krsna, is not, blocked by any disqualification if one is ready to serve
- If one has nothing to control, he keeps a dog to control. That is very good experience in your country. He has no children to control, no wife to control - keep a dog. So the controlling propensity is there, everywhere, but he is not Supreme Controller

- If one is not faithful, if he does not believe in God, for him it is to be forgotten. He cannot not understand what is Absolute Truth
- If one is not jijnasu, if one is not inquisitive about the miserable condition of his life, if he remains satisfied in miserable condition of life, then he is nothing but animal

- If one is sincere, he will take advantage of guru's mercy and Krsna's mercy, and then he will be perfect. This is called bhakti-yoga. Not that "I am now very much advanced. I don't require any help from my guru," as somebody are doing. This is rascaldom

- If somebody comes, "What is Krsna?" You say: "Yes, I am serving Krsna, but I do not know what is Krsna," what is his service? He must know, because here it is said, asamsayam samagram (BG 7.1), without any doubt

- If we become so rascal that "What is spoken in the Vedic literature, there is beyond, something," then we are rascal. There is no beyond. This is perfect knowledge
- If we become successful in Krsna consciousness, we achieve the greatest success of life, but even if we fall down, oh, there is no loss. Because we are going to get birth in sucinam, in nice brahmana family, or rich mercantile family where it is supposed

- If we can utilize the friendship of the mind, then we are elevated to the highest perfectional stage. But if we create mind as my enemy, then my path to hell is clear
- If we chant offensively, then we remain in the material world. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has said, namaksara bahiraya nama nahi haya. It is mechanical, "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna," but still it is not Hare Krsna
- If we chant this vibration of transcendental sound with devotion and with attention, that is the highest type of meditation and yoga. And very easy
- If we consult different scriptures, then we'll find that one scripture is speaking something, another scripture is speaking something else. - Just like cow-killing. Take it for example
- If we continue to act on that platform of consciousness, then, at the end of this body - not even at the end of this body; even in the presence of this body - we shall be free. We shall be free from material contamination
- If we develop simply in these four principles (eating, sleeping, sex intercourse and defense) of animal life, that is not advancement of civilization
- If we develop this (demoniac) kind of characteristic, then it is our material bondage. So we are the cause of material bondage and freedom from material world
- If we do anything against the order of God, that is sinful. Just like in Bible also there are so many commandments that "You shall not do this," because they are sinful
- If we do not decorate Krsna, if we decorate our personal body, then gradually it will be finished. You'll be forced to become naked, what to speak of decoration? This is the way of nature
- If we do not know what is the value of sandalwood, if we use it for cooking and burning . . . similarly, if we use this human form of life exactly like the cats and dogs, simply for sense gratification, then we are committing suicide
- If we do not live regulative life, if we do not follow the regulative principles as they are given in the sastra, then in spite of being put into jail, in spite of my suffering, as soon as I come back, I again commit the same thing and again go to jail
- If we do not surrender to Krsna and take His instruction and make our life, that is our choice. But if you like, you can make your life successful within a moment simply by surrendering
- If we do not take advantage of this human form of life and try to understand ourself and God, then we are simply cats and dogs. That is going on. We are fighting like cats and dogs
- If we do not understand our position, if we remain in the same category, bodily concept of life, then we are missing the chance. After all, you have to change this body. It is not permanent settlement that you shall remain Indian, American. No
- If we don't be independent, unnecessarily mental exercise to understand what is God, what is Absolute Truth. Don't bother about these things. Then, what to do? Namanta eva: just become submissive and just try to hear from a realized soul
- If we don't try to see God during our lifetime, then there will be an incidence which is sure - "As sure as death." That death is God. So to the atheistic person, death is God. And to the theistic person, they can see
- If we engage ourself in the bhakti-yoga process to Vasudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then what happens? Janaty asu vairagyam. Then very soon one becomes detached
- If we falsely claim that, "I am also the supreme consciousness," that will be a false claim. We are not actually the supreme consciousness. Qualitatively, we are one
- If we falsely claim that, "I am God," then we have to show godly power. Unless we show godly power, simply claiming that "I am God," that is dambha, that is false pride
- If we falsely claim that, "I am God. I am that supreme consciousness," it is our lunacy. We should not indulge in that way, and anyone teaching in that way, that is a cheating. It is not possible
- If we follow Arjuna and Krsna, then we get the perfect knowledge. May not be cent per cent perfect, but as far as possible, if we follow the instruction as it is, that much perfect. In this way one will get perfection
- If we follow Arjuna, Arjuna's decision should be taken. Arjuna decision is - Krsna is param brahma
- If we follow Arjuna, then we understand Bhagavad-gita as it is. But if we don't follow Arjuna, if we follow somebody, Dr. Frog, or create our own interpretation, then we remain impure
- If we follow the direction and instruction of Caitanya Mahaprabhu or Krsna under the guidance of a superior, bona fide spiritual master, then we associate with Krsna or Caitanya Mahaprabhu without any deviation
- If we follow the direction of Krsna, how to appreciate Him, then naturally and surely we shall come to the point to understand Krsna, although He is all-expansive
- If we follow the instruction of acarya, or spiritual master, then we are directly following the orders of Krsna, and thus I become a bhagavad-duta. No more I am the duta or the follower of the dictation of my senses
- If we follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita, then whole world will be . . . this is a fact. Now, how to implement it, that is another thing. But it is a fact
- If we give so much credit to the artist who has manufactured this Sputnik, how much credit we shall give to the person who has manufactured this arrangement. This is Krsna consciousness, to appreciate the greatest artist
- If we glorify the devotees, the character of the devotees, before the Lord, He's more pleased than to glorify Himself, directly
- If we go village to village. The village people are still pure, at least not so polluted as the town people, or especially the so-called educated
- If we have actually understood our relationship with Krsna, and if we try to serve Him sincerely, then Krsna will give you all facilities. He'll give you intelligence
- If we have associated with the tamo-guna, the quality of darkness, ignorance, then I will be gliding down to the animal life
- If we have got least desire for material enjoyment, Krsna will give us chance again to accept a body which will satisfy the senses
- If we have thoroughly read Bhagavad-gita, then we understand that "We are part and parcel of Krsna, and Krsna is asking to surrender. Why not surrender?" That is intelligence
- If we have to construct a skyscraper building, then we have to work so hard to collect the materials, and piling them and making them secure, so many things. But this material creation, this universe, was created not like that
- If we have to do some business seriously, we send our very responsible man to transact, similarly, for the deliverance of the fallen souls here in this material world, sometimes the Supreme Lord Krsna comes
- If we imitate that, "These boys and girls are chanting Hare Krsna. It is a name only. So instead of Krsna, let me chant John," but that chanting will not help you, because you cannot chant more than three, four times or ten times, that's all
- If we infect some disease knowingly or unknowingly - generally we infect unknowingly - later on that disease becomes developed. This is law of nature
- If we inquire, "Wherefrom this chunk comes?" that they (modern scientists) cannot answer. Therefore the so-called scientific knowledge always remains in doubt
- If we know what is our actual aim of life . . . the actual aim of life should be back to home, back to Godhead. Then this human form of life is successful
- If we like, we can keep on this material side of the nature, and if we like, we can transfer ourself to the spiritual side of nature. And what we are? We are also spiritual spark. Therefore we cannot adjust with this material nature
- If we love the supreme consciousness, Supreme Person, who has got universal consciousness, then automatically my service goes to everywhere
- If we make an image of God from anything, either of water, either of stone, either of anything, oh, that is not doll. That is also God. If we have got sufficient devotion, that image also will speak with me, because God is everywhere
- If we make our progressive life engaged in understanding Krsna instead of devoting in these unnecessary things, that is real life. That is real human life. The Vedic civilization is that
- If we make propaganda village to village... Still, the villagers, they are unpolluted; they can be recovered. Still, when we hold meeting of Krsna consciousness, thousands of men come. And that our Hyderabad land is very suitable for this purpose
- If we manufacture a skyscraper building, immediately there will be some income. But if I construct a gigantic temple, it will be simply waste of money. - They are thinking like that. That means the standard of understanding God is finished
- If we offer something to Lord, oh, that is rewarded in many millions of times. So we should not expect. The Lord is always serious to return the service of the servant, of His devotee
- If we read the Vedic literature, you get full knowledge, and the essence of Vedic literature is Srimad-Bhagavatam. And the Bhagavad-gita is the preliminary study of Srimad-Bhagavatam, A-B-C-D
- If we really want spiritual life, if we really want to be freed from these material clutches, then we have to learn how to control the senses. That is wanted. That is the purpose of human life
- If we regularly chant this Hare Krsna mantra, then we remain freed from all sinful reaction of life and our attachment for the Supreme Lord in devotional service increases
- If we remain in certain place, we must be affected by the modes of that place. So there are three modes: we have to associate either with the modes of goodness or with the modes of passion or with the modes of ignorance
- If we remain in tamo-guna, ignorance, that, then we shall go down again to the lower species of life. This is the laws of nature
- If we remain in the material nature, then our whole struggle for existence will continue. It will never stop. But if you take to the spiritual nature, Brahman nature, you immediately becomes joyful
- If we remain in the sattva-guna, then we shall be promoted to the higher planetary system. If we remain in rajo-guna, then we shall remain where we are
- If we remain on the bodily concept of life, then we are no better than the dogs and cats. But unfortunately, modern civilization is going on, on this bodily concept of life. That is asat-patha
- If we say that a so-called educated person is in ajnana because he does not know what he is, then . . . that was admitted by Sanatana Gosvami. He was prime minister of Nawab Hussain Shah Khan, and he joined Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement
- If we simply carry the message of Krsna as it is, we become perfect. It is not very difficult
- If we simply follow these instructions however, spiritual life becomes very simple and we can go back to Krsna in the spiritual world at the end of this life, which is the success of the human life
- If we simply live and try to become naked like the cats and dogs and bark, then where is the difference? Where is the difference? No difference. So we must take to religious system. That is humanity
- If we simply practice this, that wherever I derive some pleasure, that is God, then you become God conscious. To become God conscious is not difficult. Simply one has to learn how to practice it. That's all
- If we simply waste our time for the animal propensities of life, then again we glide down to the animal life. That is a great loss
- If we speculate about God, who is Adhoksaja, who is beyond the range of our mind and speculation, then we can come to the conclusion of Brahman realization, impersonal God, no more than
- If we speculate, we shall never reach the Absolute Truth. That is not possible. Because our power is very limited. How long I shall speculate? This is called kupa-manduka-nyaya
- If we stick to that activities (engage our energy to satisfy Krsna) on the spiritual platform, then, as assured by Lord Krsna, after leaving this body, we go back to Krsna, Vrndavana, go back to Godhead, back to home. That is our eternal, peaceful life
- If we stick to the principle of Krsna consciousness, maya will not be able to react upon us. Eventually maya will fail to attract you. She will fail. You will not fail
- If we stop work, and for spiritual realization, we leave this world and go to the jungle or Himalaya and sit down there for meditation for spiritual realization, oh, how many people will be ready to do this thing? No. This is not for mass people
- If we study, "Is our body eternal?" No, sir. It is temporary, say, fifty years, sixty years, utmost hundred years. So it is not eternal, it is not sat
- If we submissively give aural reception to these messages, as it is described in the Caitanya-caritamrta by Lord Caitanya, that will help us - Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya-caritamrta
- If we take advantage of the presentation given by Krsna, if you practice Krsna consciousness, then there is opportunity of becoming fully, cent percent perfect. We have to take advantage of it. That's all
- If we take Bhagavad-gita seriously, then we should follow the footprints of Arjuna as he understood. He accepted Krsna as the Parambrahman
- If we take it (loving affairs between Radha and Krsna) as ordinary boy and girls reciprocating their loving feelings, then we will misunderstand. Then there will be the production of prakrta-sahajiya, victims of Vrndavana
- If we take leadership of Krsna, then our life is perfect; we could properly utilize the utility of human life. Otherwise we have been mislead
- If we take protection of the civil laws, then we are happy. And if we take protection of the criminal laws, then we are unhappy. That's all
- If we take the philosophers, so one philosopher differs from another philosopher. Na casav rsir yasya matam na bhinnam. Therefore, to approach the Absolute Truth, God, is very difficult subject matter
- If we take to Krsna consciousness then you are above all these things, because as soon as you become spiritually elevated, these material changes does not effect
- If we take to Krsna consciousness, then we are not affected by the bad effects of Kali-yuga. That is recommended
- If we take up seriously this movement, every one of us become completely aware of this movement and take this mission as Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, "Every one of you, you become a guru," by the order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- If we think seriously, "Suppose if I would have been put into that condition, that 'Stand up here for five hundred or five thousand years. You cannot move an inch, and you bear all the sufferings, scorching heat, storm,' would I agree to do that?" No
- If we think that it (chanting Hare Krsna mantra) is subha-kriya - subha-kriya means something auspicious - no, that is also offense. We have already described so many offenses; this is also one of offense
- If we think that, "I am doing for Krsna so much, so I must have this here," Krsna will give you; but that is called karma
- If we try to make an attempt to bring people on the platform of God consciousness, then he is possessing all other qualities: how to take care of the body, how to use the mind, how to use intelligence, everything
- If we try to understand Krsna as He is speaking, as they are stated in the sastra, as it is accepted by the acaryas, then we can have some trace of the Absolute Truth
- If we try to understand simply our body, actually that is meditation. Meditation means to understand what is this body and what I am
- If we try to understand the Supreme Soul, and we turn our loving propensities to that Supreme Soul, that is called religion
- If we understand this relationship, eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman, that is our real understanding
- If we want to avoid the tiresome, troublesome, miserable condition of this material world, then we have to accept the direction given in the sastras. But we are so dull, we cannot even understand what is the miserable condition of our life
- If we want to be conversant, well-equipped with Krsna consciousness, then we have to regulate our life. That regulation is given in various scriptures
- If we want to become anxiety-less, then we have to take shelter of Hari and go to the forest. Prahlada Maharaja recommended, vanam gato yad dharim asrayeta. Hitva atma-patam grham andha-kupam. Grha is compared as andha-kupa, blind well
- If we want to continue our eternal life, then we require eternal happiness. Without happiness our life is not worth
- If we want to control passion, then we have to eat in such a way, deal in such a way, live in such a way that we control passion and come to the platform of goodness
- If we want to cultivate bhakti, it is not sentiment. Sentiment, of course, that may remain for some time. But it is a great science. We have to learn it scientifically
- If we want to make progress towards spiritual advancement of knowledge, this preliminary knowledge we must have that, - I am not this body
- If we want to transcend above this material plane, then we'll have to completely reject the bodily conception of life. We have to stand on the spiritual consciousness of life. That is being taught
- If we want to try to expound knowledge by our limited power, that is imperfect knowledge. That knowledge is not perfect. That is concoction
- If we want to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth, we should begin from the name, Krsna, Hare Krsna, the name, the holy name
- If we want to use our anger upon Krsna, and if we want to utilize Krsna for satisfying our lust, then also you become Krsna conscious and highly elevated. So that is possible
- If we work on behalf of the Supreme Lord, then that is called yoga-sthah. So our work is also not stopped, and at the same time I am situated in the spiritual platform. That technique is taught by Lord Krsna
- If we work with God consciousness, although we are here in this material platform, that work is admitted by the Supreme Lord. That is called yoga-sthah
- If women do not remain chaste, then unwanted population will come out. That is called varna-sankarah

- If you acquire the qualification of a brahmana and if you work as a brahmana, then you are accepted as a brahmana. Similarly ksatriya, similarly vaisya. This is the authoritative statement of Narada. Yasya hi yad laksanam - SB 7.11.35
- If you acquire these qualities (sattvic, rajasic, tamasic), and if you work according to that quality, then you are either brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sudra. They should be divided according to quality and work
- If you act like a brahmana, then get your promotion to the higher planetary system, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Brahmaloka, Siddhaloka. There are so many planets. The people do not know. There is no such education
- If you act very piously, in the mode of goodness, then you are promoted to the higher planetary system. And if you do not work in the modes of goodness - in the modes of passion - then you remain in this planet and become changed into so many bodies
- If you actually anxious to make a solution of your life, then you have to follow the rules and regulations of life. The books are the Vedic regulations, Vedic culture, scriptures. They are there to guide you
- If you actually approach the Supreme Father, there is no death. Death cannot touch you, you have got such a father. Just approach him. Aisvrayasaya samagraya viryas . . . He is so powerful
- If you actually require perfect knowledge, then we have to accept knowledge this, like this way. It is called avaroha-pantha. Avaroha-pantha means a descendence, or deductive process
- If you actually understand Krsna, you are liberated immediately. Janma karma ca divyam me yo janati tattvatah (BG 4.9). How Krsna eats, how Krsna thinks, how Krsna works, if you understand all these things, then immediately you become liberated
- If you actually Vedantist, then you should be inquiring that - I am eternal. Why I am put into this temporary body, and on account of this body, I am subjected to so many miserable condition of material life
- If you actually want to become a pure devotee, then you have to make this material way of life completely zero. Anyabhilasita-sunyam (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.1.11). Then it will be possible
- If you add little apples and fruits, oh, it is heavenly. Your whole day free from any food anxiety, and you can work. You can chant Hare Krsna. Make this ideal life here
- If you agree (to material nature) that "I shall be dictated by you," then you become dictated. Just like a disease. If you infect the disease, then you must suffer
- If you allow the woman to be polluted, then there will be varna-sankarah. You cannot distinguish who is brahmana, who is a ksatriya, who is a vaisya. Therefore social order should be adjusted
- If you analyze that everything is being maintained by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, that is real understanding of Krsna consciousness, how Krsna is great, or God is great. So that is a real civilization of life
- If you analyze the whole thing, the manufacturer of the car and the car itself and the ingredients of the car, the platform on which the car is running - everything belongs to Krsna. That is the ultimate analysis
- If you are a jnani, a philosopher, speculating what is the truth, ultimate truth is Krsna

- If you are accustomed to kill somebody, either man, animal, trees, fish, anything, there is no entrance in religious life. There is no entrance because everyone, every living entity, is son of God
- If you are actually brahmin or if you are actually king, you can be proud of your position that, "I am king," "I am this" or "that." But actually if you are less than the svapacam, the dog-eaters, but why should you be proud of your false prestige?
- If you are actually inquisitive to understand what is Absolute Truth, what is your life, what is the value of life, tasmad gurum prapadyeta
- If you are actually interested to get out of miserable condition, then try to get out of these four miserable condition of life: janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9). That is intelligence
- If you are afraid of being killed - that is the medicine we are preaching - then you get out of this entanglement. You be situated in your spiritual body. There is no more question of killing
- If you are after the knowledge, why should you stick to one particular place? If the knowledge is available in other places, you must have it. That is inquisitiveness, seriousness
- If you are born in a brahmana family but if you do the work of a carpenter, then everyone will call you a carpenter. Who will call you a brahmana? No
- If you are bound up by rope just like thieves are carried, handcuffed and bound up on the waist, what you can do?
- If you are cool brain, then you will see that now, in comparison to the Sputnik, there are millions and trillions of planets and stars, big, big planets like sun planet, which is fourteen hundred thousand times bigger than this earth

- If you are fixed up in God consciousness, then nothing of these material disturbances can agitate you
- If you are hungry and if you are given very nice, nutritious, palatable food, you haven't got to take any certificate from others. You'll understand yourself, - Yes, I am now feeling strength. I am now feeling energy
- If you are impure, it doesn't matter that you go to the forest or you are in your apartment - the nature will not excuse you
- If you are in danger and if you go even to your intimate friend, "Please give me protection," he will hesitate, because his power is very limited
- If you are intelligent, if you want to understand Krsna through intelligence, through scientific view, that is explained (in our books); you can do that
- If you are intelligent, then you will understand your position that, - I have already surrendered to so many nonsense things. Why not give up this and surrender to Krsna?
- If you are interested to know God and love Him, then you have to accept this devotional process. No other process will help you
- If you are lost of your intelligence, you can talk all nonsense. "There is no God" means nastatmanah: he's not very intelligent; he has lost his intelligence
- If you are not a criminal, the police has nothing to do with you; & if you are a criminal, you may be on the street or very nice flat, apartment, the police will be after you & arrest you. So if you become pure, there is no influence of this yuga
- If you are not yourself expert, then even if I say: "Yes, I am God-realized," how you will take it as truth?
- If you are puzzled that what is that thing that is missing so that this living body is now dead body. Now, just to get it confirmed, you come to guru. Guru will say: - Yes, it is the fact. The soul was there, and now it has gone
- If you are qualified medical practitioner, you have passed the medical examination, that is your quality. But you must practice also as a medical man; then people will call you as physician
- If you are scientist, you create a similar brain like you. That you cannot do. But somebody has created your brain. And who is that person? Professor Einstein, big scientist, but he could not create another Professor Einstein
- If you are sensible, if you are actually wise, if you are actually advanced in knowledge, then you should surrender to Krsna. This is the conclusion. We have to surrender
- If you are serious about understanding spiritual life and executing, then the first business is initiation, taking shelter of a bona fide spiritual master. This is our process
- If you are serious to understand God, then God will help you also. He is within you. He'll help you. Yes
- If you are serving for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, why He will not supply you? Krsna is supplying food to everyone, those who are not devotee, and why not to the devotees? What we have done?
- If you are simply dressed, and if you want to enjoy sense gratification, it is not possible. You have to undress yourself, you have to become naked yourself. Similarly, if you want to sense gratify, then you have to purify your this material existence
- If you are so abominable that you do not work as a human being and just like animal, then you go to the hellish condition. This is nature's law
- If you are so powerful you can become as great as God, then why you are trying to become God if you are actually as great as God? That answer they cannot give
- If you are sober & actually thoughtful, you will find that "This is not my life. But I am falsely thinking that I am enjoying life." Therefore frustration. Next stage is frustration. Everyone, frustrated because we are in this material world
- If you are surprised with the mechanical arrangement of the small watch, why you should not study the mechanical arrangement of a great scientist
- If you are taking service from your car, so you don't identify yourself with the car. But you take care of the car to take service from it. Similarly, we are taking service from this body because we are living, so I must eat or I must sleep
- If you are transferred to the spiritual world . . . there are also so many planets, as we have got planets in this material world. Beyond the sky, there is another, spiritual sky. That information is there in the BG

- If you argue that "What is the harm if I kill one animal, because it is said, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20): 'The living entity, soul, is never killed even after the annihilation of this body'?" that is all right. But you cannot force him
- If you argue that, "Cow is an animal. So animal stool is impure. How the cow stool can become pure?" that is puzzling, but it is ordered by the Vedas, it is fact. You analyze cow stool, you find all antiseptic matter
- If you argue, "How it (Cow dung) has become pure? It is an animal stool," but the Vedas, because the knowledge is perfect, that even in argument we cannot prove how animal stool becomes pure, but it is pure
- If you argue, "Why it (cow dung) is pure?" then you come to a modern chemical analysis, and you will find the cow dung is full of antiseptic properties. It has been examined in Calcutta by one doctor, Raj Mohan Bose
- If you ask any old man, "What is your age?" he'll decrease the age. He is eighty years old, he'll say, "I am sixty years" or "sixty-five." That means he wants to live for long duration of life. That is the intention
- If you ask him, "When you are going?" he'll say that, "I do not know when I shall go, but when Krsna will ask me or allow me to go, I shall go." I am saying this from my practical experience from my Guru Maharaja
- If you ask somebody, "My dear friend, please once chant Hare Krsna," that is your duty finished. He may accept or not accept - that doesn't matter. You have finished your spiritual mastership
- If you associate with any one of them, either God personally or with His name or with His form or with His quality or with His paraphernalia, immediately you become in contact with God. This is the science
- If you associate with sattva-guna, then you are promoted to the higher planetary system: Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka. But these rascals, they do not know; still they make an estimate
- If you associate with the modes of goodness, then you are promoted to the higher planetary system, beyond heavenly planets: Janaloka, Tapoloka, Maharloka, Satyaloka, Siddhaloka, Brahmaloka. So that is possible
- If you associate with the supreme joyful, Krsna, automatically you become joyful. This is Krsna consciousness. Automatically. There is no necessity separately how to become joyful. Simply by association
- If you at all accept somebody as spiritual master, you must test him. You must test him for at least one year if you have got doubts. And when you are convinced that, "Here is a person whom I can follow blindly," then you accept
- If you become a rigid religious person, that does not mean God will be satisfied with you. That is preliminary stage, dharmartha-kama-moksa - SB 4.8.41
- If you become in everything Krsna conscious, then your life is successful. That we are teaching. It is a very scientific movement. Actually, that is the position
- If you become proud that "I am minister," or "I am this big dog or big . . ." that is for nibandhaya, your bondage; you will continue material life
- If you become religious, then you are rewarded, and if you are irreligious, then you are punished
- If you become rich man, high standard of life, you have to maintain it. Not that it will continue automatically. No, that is not possible, sir

- If you go away, people will say against your reputation: 'Oh, Arjuna has become a coward. He has fled away from the fighting.' So it is better to die than to have bad reputation." That is another argument
- If you go back to home, back to God, in the same style of body as Krsna has got, spiritual body, isvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah (Bs. 5.1) - then no more birth
- If you go back to Krsna and if you get permanent life, most probably you will not come back again. Just like a person left his home, and throughout the whole life he's loitering. After being fatigued, if he comes back home again, he doesn't go again
- If you go by steps, you have to go step by step. But you capture the elevator, the lift, immediately within seconds you go to the highest floor, topmost. They (elevation to the body of goodness) take two process

- If you go to the forest, you take interest of yourself. But Krsna wants that you take interest for others also. That is greater service. Just like a soldier, he's also patriot, and another man is patriot
- If you grow more, and offer fruits to the Deity in the evening, in this way, very nice. You can distribute that
- If you have developed your love for Krsna there is no more necessity of austerities or this or that. Everything will automatically come. Therefore it is recommended kecit kevalaya-bhaktya
- If you have done something criminal without your knowledge, and if in the court you say: "My lord, I did not know this law, that committing something criminal like this I would have been punished." So that is no excuse
- If you have done something wrong, and if you go to the court and say: "Sir, excuse me. I did not know," the court may excuse you one time, second time, but not for the third time. Third time you will be severely punished
- If you have evacuated nicely, you have washed inside and outside, taken your bath, then you'll feel always refreshed. And unless you feel refreshed, you cannot very nicely chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra or serve Krsna
- If you have faith in God, "God is saying this, I must do it," that blind faith is as good. Although it is blind faith, it is the fact
- If you have faith, you must abide by the religious process. If you don't follow, that means you have no faith
- If you have firm faith, if you take Krsna, "Yes, Krsna is the Supreme Personality," then your examination is passed. Just like fire. You understand what is fire or not understand, but if you catch fire, it will act
- If you have got (another name of God), you can chant that name also. There is no hindrance. Namnam akari. Because every name being identical with God, every name of God is as powerful as God
- If you have got a greater distance, immediately, the speed of mind is so great and the soul is still finer. The soul's speed is still greater, thousand times greater. So as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita - tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti
- If you have got a palatable food, either you put it into a golden pot or if you put it into iron pot, the taste is the same. The taste is not different
- If you have got faith, then you surrender, and actually you will be free from all sinful reaction. Krsna is not making any bogus propaganda
- If you have got intelligent class of man, but nobody is helping him, then what . . . what will be the use of intelligence
- If you have got little sense that, "I shall understand what is God," this very much qualification, if anyone only wants sincerely that, "I will understand what is God," then your drinking business begins
- If you have got more than wife, a few years after, you become impotent. But Krsna, in each wife He begotten ten children. - I will give you ten child
- If you have got spiritual power, then you can measure it (the soul). And that measurement is also given in the sastra. What is that? One ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair
- If you have got still doubt about Krsna, then you try to understand Krsna. Be without any doubt that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then your everything is guaranteed

- If you have got the qualification of a shopkeeper, you cannot act as engineer. That is not possible. If you have got the qualification of a teacher, educationist, then you can become a teacher. So the whole world is going like that, guna-karma-vibhagasah
- If you have got the sense of prasada, then there should be no distinction. "I am taking prasadam, which is nirguna." So these are the conclusions. So unless we come to the conclusion of Vaisnava cult, it is very difficult
- If you have no means to read books or if you have no such habit - because reading books, that requires also another qualification, studious - simply chant Hare Krsna
- If you have no sraddha that, "By loving Krsna, by surrendering to Krsna, my life will be perfect, that is perfection of life," then there is no beginning of bhakti-yoga. So first thing is this
- If you have no such faith (here is very good person giving me gold, he'll not cheat me), then you check it. But real gold, either you take in blind faith or by checking, the result is the same
- If you have some severe type of disease, you have to pay the doctor's bill, also severe. That you cannot avoid. So why not for sinful activities? And what is disease? Disease, infection, means that is also violating the laws of nature
- If you have understood that Krsna's name and Krsna are the same thing, then you are always living with Krsna
- If you haven't got anything to love, then you get a dog, cat, and you love it. The loving propensity is there. This is the psychology
- If you hear from a professional man, that will not be effective. Hearing must be from sadhu, from devotee, from the lips of the devotee. Just like Sukadeva Gosvami was speaking to Maharaja Pariksit
- If you keep strictly on the principles and chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra, then your mission will be successful. There is no doubt about it
- If you keep the cows happy, then cow will supply large quantity of milk. If the cow knows that you are going to kill it, she is always afraid, always fearful, "Oh, this man will kill." They can understand

- If you keep yourself always engaged in Krsna consciousness, in Krsna's business, then you are immune. You will not be infected. This is the process
- If you keep yourself constantly engaged in Krsna consciousness, then you are not in this material world. There is no more fear of what kind of body you will get next. You will get next body go back to home, back to Godhead
- If you kill the cow you get the meat only one time. But if you allow the cow to live and take milk, and from milk you can make hundreds and thousands of preparations. That is real enjoyment
- If you know that these chemicals composes life, so when I give you the chemicals, why don't you produce? So simply theorizing
- If you let loose your dog, it will go on this way, this way, this way, this way, this way. This is jagat, going on. Going on, but condition - You cannot go beyond this

- If you like, you can go again back to the cycle of 8,000,000 forms of lower animals. Or you can develop your self-consciousness for higher species of life, which is called deva. Deva means demigod. That is described in the BG - yanti deva-vrata devan
- If you like, you can go back to home, back to Godhead. That is perfection of life. And if you don't like, then remain here
- If you love somebody, you are seeing him or her always. Is it not? That's it. It requires the qualification of love. Then Krsna will be visible twenty-four hours. He'll talk with you. These things are described - BG 10.10
- If you make atonement for your sinful activities by some process - just like we are prescribing this process, chant Hare Krsna - surely your sinful reaction is nullified. But don't commit it again. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- If you make your decision to make Krsna's desire fulfilled, then your life is successful. That is our Krsna conscious life. "Krsna wants it; I must do it. I will not do anything for me." That is Vrndavana
- If you manipulate life, then give the dead body again energy to rise up. Then we shall admit that you can manipulate. Otherwise it is false
- If you manufacture any definition of God, then you cannot define. But if you take the words of God, then it is possible to define God
- If you manufacture something that, "This man is starving; let me give me (him) some food," it may be wrongly done, and you are liable to be punished
- If you meditate on something nonsense, what is the use? This is going on. "Real father don't recognize; we are meditating." Misleading

- If you not dull, if you are intelligent and if you take the sutra, this code, janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1), that is knowledge, that is philosophy, that is science - to find out the original source. That is Krsna consciousness
- If you offer Him huge foodstuff, He can eat. And if you can offer Him little flower, fruit and water, that also, He is satisfied. So everyone should offer according to his means, and Krsna is ready to accept
- If you paint a very nice flower, how much labor you require. Still, it cannot be so beautiful as the natural flower. So don't think the natural flower has come accidentally. No. It was done by the machine manipulated by Krsna. That is Krsna understanding
- If you paint one flower, you have to take the brush, color, and you cannot do as nice. So Krsna has also to do the same thing, but the energy is so fine and quick, svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca. Krsna's energies will go on
- If you pass your law examination, don't go to the court, don't practice, nobody will call you lawyer. Suppose you know how to deal with electrical fittings. But if you do not do any business, if you sit down at home, nobody will call you electrician
- If you persist that, "I must go and enjoy independently," so God says: "All right, you can go." This is the position. You have to take sanction. That is a fact. When you persist, God sanctions. And you come and enjoy

- If you prepare yourself as the karmis do, to be elevated to the higher planetary system - Svargaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Brahmaloka - that is very good
- If you prepare yourself to go to the higher planetary system, Candraloka, Suryaloka, Indraloka, Svargaloka, Brahmaloka, Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka - there are so many, hundreds. If you want to go there, then you prepare in that way
- If you put butter before the fire, automatically it melts. Similarly, a woman is considered as fire and the man is considered as butter. So this is natural. But a person who is not agitated, he is called dhira
- If you qualify yourself, you can become fitted in any position. Similarly, as it is said, to become daivi, you have to qualify yourself to become divine
- If you read simply Mahabharata, which is meant for the sudras and the woman class and the less-intelligent persons born in higher class society, you will find in Mahabharata so sublime literature
- If you really surrender, and as Krsna says, you do not do (commit sins), then you remain perfect even in this life. And as soon as you become perfect, you become eligible to go back to home, back to Godhead. Then your all problem solved
- If you really want happiness, then you purify your existence and you'll get continued eternal happiness of bliss and knowledge. This should be the aim of human life

- If you say that "I have studied all the medical books," the government will not recognize you as a medical practitioner
- If you say that "Simply by combination of matter the secretion of the man and woman emulsify and takes another shape, and that secretion, discharge of matter, is due to lust," that is all right
- If you say that, "I have manufactured my own law," that will not be accepted. Similarly, you cannot manufacture a kind of dharma, or faith. No. Dharma, or the system of religion, can be given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- If you say that, "I have no money. If I borrow from friends ghee, then I'll have to pay him." Because these are the injunctions in the sastras. But he is atheistic
- If you say that, "My consciousness is spread all over the universe," that is also another mistake. Your consciousness is limited within your body
- If you say that, "Now I have done so much for you. Give me relief," first of all I do not want to be relieve also. That is also another disease. You see? You will be surprised. It is my practical experience
- If you say that, "We are seeing daily that you are offering prasadam, the vegetable, rice. They are all material," no, they are not material. This is real understanding. How it is not material? That is acintya, inconceivable

- If you select some bhangis and camaras and keep them as he is and rubberstamp it, "Here is a harijana," what will be the effect
- If you shortcut your hard labor, sit down and discuss what is the Absolute Truth, what is the philosophy of life, "They are nonsense." You see

- In this world there are two gunas - raja and tama, ignorance and foolishly active. Foolish active is very dangerous

- In Vrndavana there are five thousand temples, Krsna. Five thousand, ten thousand people are going. You know in India there are so many pilgrimages. So do you think all these temples established by our predecessor, they are all fools?

- In Western countries, if you can eat meat you think that, "I am very much fortunate." Similarly, in India still, in villages also, they think that - If we can eat more ghee, we are very fortunate
- In woman the brain substance is not found more than thirty-four ounce. You'll find, therefore, that there is no very great scientist, mathematician, philosopher among women
- In your Christian religion Lord Jesus Christ, he claimed to be the son of God and coming from the kingdom of God to reclaim you. So this claim of Lord Jesus Christ we admit. We, the followers of Bhagavad-gita, we admit this claim

- In your Western country there is no question of poverty. You are all well-to-do. I have extensively traveled over America and Europe, especially America. They are very opulent
- Incarnation means avatara: who comes down from higher position. Therefore, here it is said, krtavatarasya hareh. Hareh, "of the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Hari, hari means "who takes away all your miserable condition."
- India's position is different now. India has practically no milk, and no food. Due to our leaders' mismanagement, there is no milk. India is depending on your milk powder sent by Australia or by Europe. There is no milk

- Individual soul is the seed, and upon that seed, this body has developed. According to our Vedic understanding, the body develops on the seed. This is very practical
- Individuality is both in spiritual world and the material world. But in the material world our individuality is different on account of associating or infecting different qualities of the material nature
- Individuality is different on account of associating or infecting different qualities of the material nature. Just like there are different types of patients in the hospital. Why? Because each and every one of them is infected by different types of germs
- Indra is in charge of this cloud, how cloud is conducted, how rain falls there, and water department, like that. Just like moon. Moon is in charge of lighting at night. Sun is in charge of lighting in daytime. Because the whole world is darkness
- Industrial civilization will fail. They are manufacturing simply cars. The time is approaching very swiftly when there will be no more demand for cars
- Industry, in your country also going on, but in spite of all industry and big, big universities, why your young men are becoming confused? Why? Why the universities are producing hippies?
- Influence of time, that is nature's law. Daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya (BG 7.14). That is maya's strength. How you can check? It is not in your power
- Information we get from Bhagavad-gita, that God is sitting within your heart. That is a fact. Not only within your heart, my heart, the animal's heart - everyone, sarva-bhutanam. Sarva-bhutanam means - Of all living entities

- Initiation means by the mercy of Krsna through His agent, the spiritual master, you are getting the seed of bhakti-lata. So you have to take care of yourself by the instruction
- Initiation means that he must be free from all kinds of sinful activities. These pillars of sinful activities, are four in number: illicit sex life, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling
- Initiation regular meaning is also, initiation, "something to begin." This is beginning of spiritual life. Without initiation, there is no beginning of spiritual life
- Inquiry about Krsna, and to understand Krsna means on the spiritual platform, atmavit. That is not material platform. Material platform means, - I am this body; you are this body. So Krsna is also like us. Krsna has a material body, and He is like me
- Insects biting my delicate body, I cannot protest. I am simply suffering. After coming out of the womb, still there is suffering. The whole life is suffering - but I do not know how to compensate the suffering. That is ignorance

- Inside cleanliness, daily clearing the bowels. In the yoga system this is very necessary. They have got a system if the bowel is not clear, then dhokhi - it is called dhokhi. The intestines should be cleared
- Instance shown by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that Junior Haridasa, he was keeping himself as renounced but thinking of sex. He was rejected. But there are many householder devotees, Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted them

- Instead of contemplating what will happen to this world, you have got a short duration of life, say fifty, sixty years. You chant Hare Krsna and go back to home, back to Godhead
- Instead of improving your karma, karma-kandiya-vicara, fruitive activities, if you take to devotional service and simply try to understand what is Krsna, then you are no longer within the influence of this good work or bad work. You are transcendental
- Instead of writing ourself, if we, in the beginning, follow the footprints of the great devotees of Krsna and follow their principles, taken to heart, how they have spoken, that will be advantageous, because Krsna will be pleased
- Intelligence is so gross that they simply see this gross body. But there is another, subtle body, and within that subtle body there is soul. So condition of the subtle body will carry you to another gross body
- Intelligence is the "Why shall I remain in this contaminated position? I shall go to the pure platform." That is God consciousness
- Intelligent boy will always enquire, "What is this, father? What is this, father? Wherefrom the sound is coming?" That is intelligence. So if one is very dull - just like cats and dogs, they cannot enquire, - What is this machine? What is this behind?
- Intelligent devotee, they do not ask like the unintelligent devotee go to the church and pray to God, "Give us our daily bread." He's God's servant, and He will not get your bread? You have to ask from God? No
- Intelligent man, he takes things very intelligently that, - Caitanya Mahaprabhu said jivera svarupa haya nitya krsna dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109), then why I am falsely thinking that 'I am God. I am not dependent on anyone,' this, that? Let me accept this
- Is it government's fault that you go to the jail? Therefore government has fault? Why is this nonsense question? When a man, instead of going to the university, goes to the police custody, is it government's fault

- Is it very difficult job? Let him define what is God. - If you say that I am God, then you must know what is God. If you falsely claim 'God,' then how you can be God?
- Is it your land? Have your forefathers created this? Why you falsely claim like that? What is the answer?
- Is not because He has become many, therefore His original person is finished. No. That is the injunction in the Vedas: purnasya purnam adaya purnam eva avasisyate (Iso Invocation). He remains still purna
- Is that any good argument that, "Because we are very good, we shall not pass stool and urine"? Or "Because you are very good, therefore your urine and stool also will be very good"? Is that any argument?
- Is there any upper hand, superior judgment, that one is put in the condition of standing tree and one is put in the beautiful human body, freely moving? There must be, because we are all living entities. We are simply put in different dresses
- Isavasyam idam sarvam (ISO 1). Sarvam, whatever you see, that property belongs to God. We are falsely claiming, "It is my property." And that is maya, illusion
- Isvara, the Supersoul, it is said here, antah purusa-rupena. And the Bhagavad-gita also confirms, sarvasya caham hrdi sannivistah. He is situated in everyone's heart. In the Upanisads also, it is said that two birds are sitting in one tree
- Isvarah paramah krsnah (Bs 5.1). These are the Vedic authorities accepted by the acaryas. Therefore it has become easy for me to convert so many boys and girls in the foreign countries. Not only Christian, Jews, but there are many Muhammadans, Africans
- Isvarah sadyo hrdy avarudhyate susrusubhis tat-ksanat (SB 1.1.2). The tat-ksanat means immediately. But one must very eager. That's all. That is the only qualification
- It (airship) will not fly - the petrol is here; everything is there - unless the pilot is there. When the pilot comes, he pushes the button. Then it becomes
- It (BBT) should be: how the complaints should be stopped, and if they have no other income, then how things should be managed. That is... GBC should discuss
- It (Bhagavad-gita) is not that it is a blind following. It is based on philosophy and science, this Krsna consciousness
- It (bhagavata-dharma) is a great science. It is not sentiment. And anyone can achieve this benefit in this human form of life. Anyone
- It (bhakti) is not sentiment; it is a practical science when your mind and senses are fully absorbed in Krsna. The senses are engaged in serving Krsna and mind is always thinking of Krsna
- It (body) is field. And I have given a chance to occupy this field and act accordingly
- It (body) was dead matter, and it will remain dead matter. - I am living in this apartment; you are living in this apartment. I am not this apartment. When I vacate, when you vacate this apartment, the apartment remains; we go to another apartment
- It (brahmacari) is not only for men; it is meant for woman also, because here we are dressed like men and women. Otherwise the mentality is manly, to enjoy, purusa. Purusa means who wants to enjoy, and yosit means enjoy
- It (chanting the holy name of God) is the recommendation of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who inaugurated or revitalized this Krsna consciousness movement five hundred years ago in Bengal
- It (discharging semen) is to be used only for purpose of having good children, not for enjoyment. That is false enjoyment. So therefore it has been described, camel
- It (duration of life) will be so reduced that in future, if a man lives for twenty to thirty years, he will be considered as very old man. That is stated in the sastra
- It (earthen pot) has cost me one paisa. I shall make one paisa profit. Then I can make such profit. I shall invest again, make another profit, another profit. In this way I shall become millionaire. Then I shall marry, and my wife shall be very obedient
- It (evidence or witness) is not blaming, it is fact. It is the real understanding. Without evidence, without proof, how law can be established? That's a good method
- It (going to the forest) may be beneficial for person, for his personal self, but real renunciation is to have no more interest in so-called limited jurisdiction of family, social, international, national, but the whole interest is for Krsna
- It (human form of life) will not exist for very long time. But if you utilize it properly, then you can achieve the greatest boon. What is that? Krsna consciousness. You can achieve the greatest boon
- It (knowledge by speculation) may be successful or may not be successful. There is no certainty. But if somebody from the roof says: "The sound is due to this," then our knowledge is perfect
- It (Krsna consciousness movement ) is not religious; it is scientific. It is to save the human society from gliding down to the abominable condition
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is meant for everyone, because every living entity is sanatana, eternal. It is not that only Indians are eternal. Everyone is eternal. Even the animals, they are also eternal
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is not a sectarian religion; it is the fact. Unless the human society take to this principle of increasing their attachment, at last, we increase our attachment for dogs and cats
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is not a sectarian religious movement, faith or sentiment. It is actually scientific movement. Here are many scientists present. They are also taking very serious view of this movement
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is not a sectarian religious movement, no. It is a science, how to understand God, how to love Him
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is not sentimental movement. It is a most scientific movement. Any scientist come to me. I can convince him that it is a scientific movement
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is not sentimental. It is the necessity of the society that a class of men should be Krsna conscious. Otherwise the society is doomed. It is going to hell. They have no brain
- It (Krsna consciousness movement) is the greatest humanitarian welfare activities to the human society. Take it very seriously and be happy
- It (Krsna consciousness) is not a sectarian movement. It is essential knowledge for the whole human society
- It (Krsna Consciousness) is not like a political movement, that you speak some jugglery of words and many thousands of people come and join. It is a great science. Only cool-headed, fortunate men can understand
- It (Krsna consciousness) is science. It is not sentiment. Whatever we are doing here, the dancing, singing and everything, that is all scientific
- It (Krsna Consciousness) is simply agreement. The process begins - to accept God first of all and to surrender to God. But nobody is prepared to surrender to God, neither they are prepared to accept God. That is the difficulty
- It (Krsna consciousness) is the greatest movement for making the whole human civilization happy. Take it seriously
- It (Krsna consciousness) is the topmost welfare activities in the human society. Anyone can be raised. There are different grades of life all over the world. Some are black, some are white, some are ugly, some are poor. Varieties
- It (Krsna Consciousness) is very scientific movement. Scientific movement because at the present moment we are all godless, forgotten what is God, and what to speak of His name
- It (Krsna instructed Bhagavad-gita to Vivasvan) is a question of believe or not believe. That is a different thing. We believe. We take it. Because it is said by Krsna, we take it, accept it
- It (Krsna is the enchanter of the Cupid, and Radharani is the enchanter of that enchanter) is not fiction or imagination, concoction. They are facts. They are facts. And every devotee can have such privileges if he is actually advanced
- It (maha-mantra) is the thing required. Therefore it is recommended in the sastra. What is recommended in the sastra, spoken in the sastra, that is perfect. There is no mistake. Therefore it is being accepted
- It (our body) must be kept very carefully, without any neglect. Just like you are taking care of the temple because it is Krsna's place. Similarly, we should not take overcare, but some care we should take so that we may not fall diseased
- It (our religion) is not self-denying. We are using everything, why self-denying? We simply use whatever absolutely necessary, that’s all
- It (Raja-vidya) is above goodness. Passion is condemned, ignorance is condemned, even this material so-called goodness, that is also condemned
- It (representing Krsna) is not very ordinary job, neither ordinary position, but it is not difficult also. The difficulty is when I adulterate and misinterpret Krsna's words
- It (research work) may not be for the mass of people, but at least one, two intelligent class of men, he (government) pays, qualified: "Let them have this opportunity." So this is like that. KC movement is not for ordinary men, but it is very important
- It (small rocket) is just like picnic in the sky - take everything from there and hold a picnic there. Like that. So much huge quantity of gas, petrol, required, and they will be carried from the station, another station. Simply dreaming
- It (sunshine) is also light, and the sun globe is also light, heat. But this heat and light is not sufficient knowledge of the complete heat and light there. That is the difference between Brahman realization and God realization
- It (svayambhur naradah sambhuh (SB 6.3.20)) was spoken by Yamaraja to the servants who went to take Ajamila to hellish condition of life, and he was saved by the Visnuduta. Because at the end of his life he chanted - Narayana
- It (the Krsna consciousness movement) is not sentiment. If you take it as sentiment, then you will create disturbance. That is the instruction of Rupa Gosvami
- It (the machine) is not growing - all different bodies, all different, every moment, every second. That is the scientific. The blood corpuscles are changing, and the body is different
- It (the soul) has akara, but you cannot see with the blunt eyes. "Then how can I understand?" Srotriyam brahma-nistham, tad-vijnanartham sa gurum evabhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). You have to learn by hearing. There is no other process
- It (the soul) is very fragmental, minute, atomic portion. But it cannot be burned, cannot be cut into pieces. So here the Mayavadi theory will fail
- It (the soul) is very, very minute. With our, these blunt eyes and blunt senses, we cannot capture. But there is. We have to conceive it from the authoritative statement of higher knowledge, knowledgeable person
- It (this planet) was not so full of life, but there was a class of men. All others, animals, were there, trees were there
- It (uniting on the spiritual platform) is possible at any time, provided people take to spiritual life. For example, one of the items of spiritual life is no meat-eating. So do you think this philosophy will be taken by everyone?
- It appears like miracle because your brain cannot accommodate how quickly all these things come. You have got poor brain; you cannot accommodate. You are thinking, - I have to paint this, simply painting I have to take so much time
- It does not mean "Because God is defending, therefore we shall stop our work." No. Krsna advises Arjuna that - You have to fight, but at the same time think of Me, Krsna conscious
- It does not mean that because we are fighting, we become ksatriya. No. These are the division of the three qualities. But a devotee's above all these things
- It doesn't matter how we have learned to love God, either Christian religion or Hindu religion or Muhammadan, but if you have got that success, that you have learned how to love God, then your life is successful
- It doesn't matter whether first-class eating, second-class. But still, they have got a home, and there they live peacefully. The wife cooks for the husband, and the husband eats, and the child is also taken care. It is not killed
- It doesn't matter whether one is Christian, one is Hindu or one is Muslim. Our simply request is that whatever you may be, you make cultivation of God consciousness. That is our program
- It doesn't matter whether you are Christian or Hindu. People must be raised to God consciousness scientifically. Otherwise it is doomed. It is not progress. It is already doom. They are simply inviting war after few years
- It doesn't matter whether, what you are. Chant Hare Krsna and you'll be purified. Then you'll understand everything, what is God, what you are, what is your relation. This is Krsna consciousness movement
- It doesn't matter you are a very great swimmer. When you are in the Pacific Ocean, you are in danger. So similarly, when that very man is taken away from the Pacific Ocean and put into the land, then he becomes prasannatma, - Oh, I am saved
- It doesn't matter you Europeans, Americans, not born in brahmana family. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's approval. If you try to understand the science of Krsna and if you behave properly, you can teach about Krsna all over your country, all over the world
- It has become a fashion that, "If I can interpret in my own way, I become a big scholar." This is going on
- It has become very practical and easy thing to give up all these four principles of sinful activities. Because without being pure, you cannot understand the Supreme Pure. God is Supreme Pure
- It has been done, or it is being done by somebody. That they do not know, who is that somebody. And when we say it is Krsna - Krsna says: "It is I am" - they'll not agree. This is their position
- It is a fact that the whole human civilization is a society of cheaters and cheated. That's all. Any field. Mayaiva vyavaharike - SB 12.2.3
- It is a fact that we are changing body, and Krsna says this example, that as we are changing even in this life the body, similarly we shall have to change this body. The authority says, and we are practical example is there
- It is a lump of matter at the present moment, then, after death or after the soul has gone from the body, it is the same lump of matter. Where is the cause of lamentation or jubilation? It is a lump of matter. This understanding is first required
- It is a sign that you (Nawab Hussain Shah) were a servant of Buddhimanta Khan sometimes before. If people will see and you will explain, that is an insult for you." - Oh, what is that? He was just like my father. He chastised me. I don't mind
- It is all auspicious symptoms, and let us be situated firmly in Krsna consciousness and act this missionary work, spreading Krsna consciousness all over the world. That will make our life successful
- It is authoritative statement because Krsna says very reasonably, - I am giving very common example that within this body, the proprietor of the body, or the spirit soul, is there
- It is authoritative statement of Krsna. Na mam duskrtino mudhah. So these classes of men do not surrender to Krsna. So anyone who has not surrendered to Krsna, he comes within these categories. This is a plain description if we believe in BG. All rascals
- It is by dress we are fighting. "You are Englishman," "I am German," "I am this," "I am Indian," "I am that," "I am man," "I am woman." So many fighting on account of this dress. So when you become dressless, that is the spiritual platform
- It is by propaganda that "Russians are bad," "Chinese are bad." No. Nowhere the people are bad. Simply the leaders are bad. The men, they are all the same everywhere, human nature
- It is calculated, He (Krsna) comes once in one day of Brahma. It is some crores of years. Crores of years means forty-three hundred thousands of years multiplied by one thousand. That is one day. Similarly one night
- It is called ahangrahopasana, ekatvena, to become one. One in quality, not in quantity. We cannot become God. That is not possible. But we can attain God's quality
- It is certified by the Supreme Personality of Godhead that it is duhkhalayam, it is the place for miserable condition of life. So how there can be ananda
- It is clearly stated in the Bhagavad-gita: bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55). No other process. No speculative philosophy or meditation. It is not possible. So bhakti is the process, you are the knower, and Krsna is knowable. That's all
- It is displayed in a very scientific way, we are seeing that "My child is growing." It is not growing. The actual fact is the child is a soul, and the soul is changing every minute the body. That is real understanding
- It is duratyaya for the living entities, not for Krsna, because Krsna is the controller and we are controlled. Therefore in the next verse it is said, Jiva, we living entities, we are being controlled by this maya, sammohita. Sammohita means illusion
- It is explained any religion which does not recognize or do not understand the principles of religion, so that is cheating religion
- It is false knowledge. Its knowledge has no value. Sanatana Gosvami has strictly forbidden: avaisnava-mukhodgirnam putam hari-kathamrtam, sravanam naiva kartavyam. Don't hear. You'll be spoiled
- It is forbidden, matra svasra duhitra va, "Don't keep yourself in a lonely place and talk 'pish-pish' with woman, even she is mother, daughter or sister." Strictly forbidden. That "pish-pish" will kill you
- It is going on very strong nowadays by some missionary sect, yata mat tata pat: "As many ways there are, they are all perfect." That somebody said that, "To cut throat is my religion," that is also accepted. But that is not religion
- It is good credit for you, materially, that you have so nice cars, nice skyscraper building, and so many nice things you have created. Spiritually, it is not good credit. It is waste of energy
- It is gradual evolution, from mode of ignorance to mode of passion. And passion, there is little activity. Just like animal, they have got activity
- It is guaranteed human life? - somebody asking. Even if it guaranteed, why should you take the chance of another life? Finish this business in this life. Take help from Krsna, take help from books, take from your spiritual master
- It is heard from the sastra, "The God is within my heart. Now let me find out where is God within my heart." That is called yoga, yoga system
- It is impossible. But she (an Australian disciple) went and married him, and they're living peacefully. Now they are married. So I have to see the interest of my missionary work. Never mind
- It is in good words, vimukta-maninah. Because it is said by Vyasadeva or a devotee, little respectful, vimukta-maninah, falsely thinking that he has become liberated
- It is meant for the human being and - do not mind it - it appears that rarely a human being is found there to take up the responsibility in India. They're talking all nonsense. The real message of Indian culture is Krsna consciousness
- It is mistaken idea that the Paramatma and the atma, jivatma, is the same. They are same in quality, but Paramatma is worshipable and jivatma is the worshiper
- It is my duty to become Krsna conscious and to serve the cause of Krsna. Oh, that is my duty. That is my real duty. - When we come to this knowledge, then we become mahatma, or the great soul
- It is my duty to speak for Krsna only. That's all. I am not going to speak anything. - He's a sannyasi
- It is natural to serve God, to remain faithful to Him. This is natural. And artificially you are trying to be independent. This is the Mayavadi . . . Still they are trying to become God himself
- It is not a business firm. Just to give spiritual association, chance. Why you are going the street sankirtana? We are giving chance, - Come here, be saved
- It is not a new movement, because as I told you, that this is based on the principles of Bhagavad-gita, and Bhagavad-gita is not new. At least from historical point of view, it is five thousand years old
- It is not a question of religious process. You must know things as they are. Religion is that, because religion means to know the real law. That is religion. Not . . . religion does not mean sentiment
- It is not an artistic paint, but it is taken from the Vedic literature, what is the original form of Krsna. Govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami. That is original form
- It is not by chance, but we wanted to lord it over the material world, therefore we have got this material body. So everyone in this material world, either human being or animals, or birds and beast, is trying to be the lord of the universe
- It is not by education or grammatical knowledge you can learn anything. No. It is by the grace of the SPG. And that grace comes down through the grace of guru. That grace also does not come directly. We should not be neglecting this point
- It is not easy to understand Bhagavan, or God. God is not the exact word of Bhagavan; therefore we use the word "Godhead." - Back to Godhead
- It is not easy to understand Krsna. But Krsna is so kind that He is coming personally and He is leaving behind Him this Bhagavad-gita to understand Him. That is Krsna's kindness
- It is not easy-going, sleeping business. We have to fight with so many demons. Otherwise, kava dava adakanam, my Guru Maharaja used to say. Beg some rice, and bring it and cook it, and eat and sleep
- It is not forbidden that daivi sampatti is meant for a class of men and asuri sampatti is meant for another class of men. No. Krsna is open to everyone. Krsna is not monopolized by a certain class of men
- It is not forbidding meat-eating, but don't eat cows' flesh. That is loss. It is a great loss to the human society
- It is not my advice, but it is the advice of the Vedic knowledge that woman should be chaste and faithful to man
- It is not my religious belief. I am just giving you general description of religious life and animal life. The animal cannot be taken to the churches and teach something about God. It is not possible. But a human being can be
- It is not possible for you to manufacture these nice grapes or oranges or banana or rice. No. That is not in your power. Therefore a sane man should admit that "This is sent by God." This is common sense
- It is not possible that we can give up sinful activities by our own endeavor, because in this age, Kali-yuga, everyone is addicted to some sort of sinful activities
- It is not so easy to understand God. But if you take the process as is recommended in the sastras by saintly person, then it is easy. Otherwise it is not easy
- It is not superficial. This dancing is spiritual ecstasy. Otherwise, it is not a dog's dancing. You see? Any gentleman, if I ask you, "Please dance on this footpath," will you agree? It is not that dancing
- 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 not that by Krsna consciousness movement everything, our daily routine work, will be stopped. No
- It is not that everyone is drinking, but there is facility for the drunkards. Because the drunkards want to drink, so government gives facility - All right. Here is a liquor shop. You drink
- It is not that he is checking the guru, "How my guru is learned?" No. The submission is there. But when the guru says something, he may not understand; that concession is given, pariprasna, you inquire
- It is not that mass of people is interested in Ph.D. degree. But if one is interested in Ph.D. degree, government provides: "Yes, in university you come." That is the real facility. So if anyone is interested to understand KC, why it should be denied
- It is not that one is a debauch, at the same time a Krsna conscious. That is a contradictory. It cannot be. If he is actually Krsna conscious, he cannot be debauch. Two things cannot go parallel
- It is not that the brahmanas are to be found in India only. Any intelligent class of men, anyone who takes to Krsna consciousness, he is brahmin
- It is not that the honor given to the Viceroy exactly like to the king, he becomes a king. No. He is servant of king. But it is the duty of the citizen to honor the representative of the king as king. That is etiquette. That is our Vedic system
- It is not that the Vedic civilization does not know what is the effect of eating flesh. They have got very broad analytical knowledge, and in the recent years Mr. George Bernard Shaw, he also said that, - You are what you eat
- It is not that then they (eat meat and drink liquor) were unknown; now it is discovered by scientific advancement
- It is not that this Krsna consciousness movement is to give shelter to some irresponsible man who does not carry the responsibilities of family life or brahmacari life
- It is not that Vedic civilization did not know how to eat meat and how to drink liquor. It is all known. But they are prohibited, - Don't eat
- It is not that we are not eating or not sleeping, but our eating is different from ordinary eating
- It is not that we love only our countrymen, only Hindus, or Bengalis, or Madrasis, or . . . no. We love everyone, even the animals. But because human being can understand the Krsna philosophy, therefore we hold meetings of the human being
- It is not that without meat-eating, we cannot live. Thousands and thousands in India, eighty percent, they are strictly vegetarian. That does not mean they are dying
- It is not that zero, but many persons are interested (in God). We are selling our books. We are selling our magazines. We are recruiting members, and they are dedicating their life for this cause
- It is not that, "Here is an American Vaisnava, here is an African Vaisnava, an Indian Vaisnava." Vaisnava is Vaisnava. Vaisnava is transcendental
- It is not the government's desire that there should be hospital or prison house. They can save so much money. But the people want it. A class of men, third-class men, they want this
- It is not the government's partiality, that somebody go to the prison house and somebody will go to the university and occupy responsible position. No. It is our fault that we do not take opportunity or the facilities offered by the government or Krsna
- It is not the question of whether it is pleasurable or nonpleasurable, but if you want to cure yourself from the disease, you have to follow the directions. That is the process
- It is not theory-fact. Jiva-jatisu. It is wandering within the cycle of jiva-jati, different species of life. Tatha dehantara praptih (BG 2.13). This is Vedic knowledge, this evolutionary process. It is not Darwin's theory
- It is not to make it null and void. No. The hand is there, but if you engage your hand in cleansing the temple, then you are transcendental
- It is not very difficult to become Krsna conscious. Simply you require little training. And if you read BG as it is, without any rascaldom, interpretation - the way it is stated - raso 'ham apsu kaunteya, if you take this, you become God conscious
- It is our constitutional position, normal life, to serve Krsna. We are part and parcel of Krsna. Just like this finger is the part and parcel of my body. And what is the business of the finger? The business of the finger is to serve this whole body
- It is our duty to awaken. If he does not awake, that is his misfortune, but our duty is, "Please, get up, get up, get up, get up." So do it very nicely here (in Hawaii). You have got very nice place
- It is prohibited for a brahmana to make any bank balance. It is prohibited. He should daily collect some money, because if he makes bank balance it will be attraction
- It is recommended here, tat-purusa-nisevaya: we have to serve him (a guru in the disciplic succession) faithfully and always honestly. Then our purpose will be served
- It is recommended in the sastra by service, by surrender, by question, try to understand this transcendental subject matter. These are the Vedic injunctions
- It is said in the Bhagavad-gita, duhkhalayam. It is the place of miseries. You cannot become happy in a place which is meant for miseries. That we have to understand
- It is said in the Bible, "Man is made after the image of God." So God has got two hands, two legs, exactly. But He is the omnipotent, almighty. Our power is limited; His power is unlimited. Otherwise, He has got form
- It is said that "One who is impersonalist, he takes more trouble to come to Me. He will come later on, but it will take some time." The impersonal feature of understanding of the Supreme Absolute Truth, it is partial understanding
- It is said that at the end of this millennium, that if somebody lives from twenty to thirty years, he will be considered as very old man
- It is said that we have to accept knowledge through saintly person. Through sastra and guru we have to understand. So Krsna is accepted by all the sadhus and acaryas
- It is said that, "There will be cloud, there will be lightning, but there will be no rainfall." These are stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. This is the result of our sinful life, restriction
- It is simply horrible to think that the duty of the parents is to raise the child to the highest perfection of life; instead of doing that they are being killed in the womb of the mother. This is the situation. This should be stopped
- It is simply praying, "O my Lord Krsna, O Srimati Radharani, Krsna's energy, kindly engage me in Your service." That's all. Finished all business. This is Vaisnava. So Vaisnava has no necessity
- It is simply rubber stamp: "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian." And none of them do know what is God and how to love Him
- It is so important that not only because we are preaching on Krsna consciousness people are reading Bhagavad-gita. No. Bhagavad-gita is widely read all over the world, everywhere. So this is wisdom
- It is so pure that if you apply on some impure place, it becomes pure. That's a fact. In India still, especially in villages, they mop the floor with cow dung, and it is so nice and so fresh. You can try
- It is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, once you begin, even one percent you can realize, that will never be lost. That will remain a permanent settlement
- It is stated in the English dictionary: "Krsna, one of the Hindu gods." But Krsna does not say that - I am the Hindu god
- It is still the system that the daughter must get married. That is the responsibility of the father. It is called kanya-dana. A father may not get his son married. That is not very great responsibility
- It is such an important book, Srimad-Bhagavatam. Each verse is a new verse, not repetition of the same subject. And it is deeply thoughtful. And every verse is approved by persons who are self-realized
- It is temple, and that is house. Otherwise, from the external feature, where is the difference? The same stone, the same wood, the same plant, the same land, the same kitchen - everything is same, and the business is the same
- It is the business of the guru, to deliver this disciple, sisya, from this blazing fire of samsara, samsrti, bandha, conditioned life, to save him from that position and give him the eternal happiness
- It is the duty of the brahmana, it is the duty of the father, it is the duty of the public leader, it is the duty of the government to see that everyone is engaged, everyone is employed
- It is the duty of the father, the mother, the government, the state, to raise the children very nicely. Now how horrible civilization it is that instead of raising them to perfect their human life they are being killed in the womb. Just imagine
- It is the duty of the government to see how things are going on. But it is simply now dream. People are also not interested what is the aim of life, what is the mission of this human form of life; neither there is guidance
- It is the duty of the human society to save the human being to degrade, from becoming again cats and dogs, or to elevate him higher and higher
- It is the duty of the ksatriya to see that everyone is executing his proper professional or occupational duty. We have discussed this point yesterday, sva-dharmam api caveksya (BG 2.31). Sva-dharma
- It is the government's duty to manage whether a man should be put into prison house, whether a man should go to the university. But the difference of individual activities
- It is the government's duty to see that nobody cheats. If a person without any medical qualification, if he writes "doctor" or "medical practitioner," he should be punished
- It is the mercy of Lord Caitanya that He has blessed the people of this age throughout the whole world, that "You take this and be happy." That is His special blessing. But actually this process is very difficult, kascit; therefore it is called kascit
- It is the most valuable thing of your life, chanting Hare Krsna. And you'll practically find the result. It is not bluff
- It is the particular mentality - one is going to the university, one is going to the prison house. That is your individual independence. That is your choice
- It is the statement of the sastras that in this age the whole population is sudra. And formerly also, by birth everyone was considered sudra; but there was training, samskara
- It is to be seen whether Lenin is perfect or Krsna is perfect. That is another thing, but you have to follow some authority
- It is understood from any source of scriptural injunction that the Supreme Lord, or Krsna, is the maintainer of the individual living entities, and it is the duty of the individual entity to feel obliged to the Supreme Lord
- It is up to us to become divine or demon. To go back to home, to back to Godhead, is in our own hand. Now we have to practice it
- It is up to you to accept the authority of Bhagavad-gita or authority of the Americans. That is your . . . we follow the authorities of Bhagavad-gita
- It is Vedic version, dharma, to make them religious. Therefore every civilized nation has some sort of religion. Because without becoming religious, there is no possibility of peace and prosperity
- It is very difficult at the present moment to undergo all these processes (dharmajnah, sraddhayanvitah & tapasa brahmacaryena), but if you take to devotional service of Krsna, just like these boys & girls are taking, immediately everything is finished
- It is very difficult for the Western people to give up all these four principles of life (illicit sex life, gambling, meat-eating, intoxication), because these are ordinary dealings. Here people are accustomed to all these habits from the very beginning
- It is very difficult subject matter (how to stop accepting bodies), of course, to understand, but Bhagavad-gita teaches, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati - BG 4.7
- It is very difficult subject matter, but it is made easy because . . . Devahuti says, sukham buddhyeya: "Very easily I can understand, because I am woman." Krsna is open to everyone: striyo vaisyas tatha sudrah - BG 9.32
- It is very difficult to assimilate the Vedic instruction. But if one has got unflinching faith in Krsna and guru, the Vedic knowledge automatically becomes revealed. This is the system. Then you can understand
- It is very difficult to chant Hare Krsna mantra twenty-four hours. Those who are not accustomed, they'll become mad simply by chanting
- It is very difficult to understand Krsna. But still, Krsna is understandable if we simply follow the instruction of the Bhagavad-gita as it is, without any malinterpretation
- It is very easy thing that, - Leader must be faithful. A leader must know what is God and how to trust in Him. And he must be free from all sinful activities
- It is very important movement. This morning also I said at the press representative meeting at the airport that there are so many universities and, especially in your country, department of knowledge, but why they are not discussing this point
- It is very instructive chapter, if you continue to understand this instruction of Rsabhadeva. Now we have only read one verse. The next verse is that mahat-sevam dvaram ahur vimukteh - SB 5.5.2
- It is visible to all that in spite of the extensive material progress, the human society is not in peaceful condition
- It may be a body of "Sir such-and-such" or "Lord such-and-such," but it is useless. It is simply a lump of matter. But people are giving more importance to this body, which is nothing but lump of matter. But they have no information
- It may be a monarch or it may be a president - it doesn't matter - but there must be one chief executive officer on the head. That you cannot avoid. That is essential
- It may be due to my poor fund of knowledge I cannot understand it - that we should admit. The lines, as stated in the Bhagavad-gita, they are as perfect as anything
- It may be some fact for fifty or sixty years, but the world is not for fifty or sixty years - for millions and millions of years
- It may be that we shall live forever. - They say like that. Now, who is going to live for millions of years to see, to confirm your proposal? Everyone will be finished within fifty, sixty years
- It may be, the duration of life, little more - a dog's duration of life less than man's duration of life. That may be. But nobody is going to live forever. That is not possible
- It requires great advancement of spiritual life when one can concentrate in chanting Hare Krsna mantra. It is not so easy
- It takes at least seven months. And they went in four days, and the man's mother . . . His photograph was there. She said, "Oh, at last my son has gone there." You have seen that photograph? I have seen it. Mother was satisfied. This is going on
- It was about ten pounds. So she supplied immediately, one woman, and when she was offered price, "Oh, why shall I take a price for ten or twenty pounds of milk? Oh, you can take it." That is my practical experience. Milk was so freely available
- It was especially mentioned, kirtanad eva krsnasya, simply by chanting Hare Krsna, one can become . . . this is the greatest boon in this age. Although there are so many difficulties, full of miseries, increase in the greatest volume
- It will be automatically cleansed if you simply give aural reception to the message of the Uttama-sloka, which is, in other word, it is called krsna-katha
- It will be glory of India if we preach the message of Krsna, Bhagavad-gita. They're accepting. And I wish that the Balaji's estate, Balaji's money, should be spent for spreading Krsna consciousness, not for any other purpose. That is my request
- It will never establish what is actually religion. srutayo vibhinna: if you consult different scriptures, Bible, Koran, or Vedas, you cannot understand what is what
- It's a great science, Krsna consciousness. It is not that we are simply concerned with worshiping this Deity. No. We have got volumes of book. It is a science how to make people happy in this life as well as the next life
J
- Jagad-anda means the universe. Koti, many millions clustered together, that is material world. And beyond that material world there is spiritual world, another sky. That is also sky. That is called paravyoma
- Jagai-Madhai, they were zamindars, very rich men, and brahmana. But because they were addicted to these habits, they were taken as the most sinful
- Jagat is not mithya. How it can be mithya? Janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1). It is coming, emanating, from the Absolute Truth. It is truth. Therefore we have to find out the truth, what is that truth
- Jagat means which is changing. But we do not like this changing, because we are eternal. We have been put into this condition, changing condition; therefore we are not happy
- Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati. And the trees, plants, they are two millions. Never says "approximately," "maybe," "perhaps." No. This is all nonsense. We don't accept such knowledge
- Janadhipah, the leaders, when there is fight the leaders must come forward. And as soon as the leaders are killed, then it is victory - not by killing the soldiers or common men by atomic bomb. No. That was not fighting
- Janaka Maharaja, Bhismadeva, and Sukadeva Gosvami, Prahlada Maharaja - in this way there are twelve authorities, and all of them are following the Sankhya philosophy or bhakti-yoga, all of them
- Janena saba puruse tena labhya: a person to whom God reveals Himself, he can understand. So we have to wait for that and for God's mercy
- Janma means a very rich man, born in a rich family or high family, that means automatically he becomes a rich man Janmaisvarya-sruta (SB 1.8.26). Or somebody becomes very highly or great learned man, sruta
- Janma, to take birth in high-class family, to become very rich - they are not accidental. There is background, daiva-netrena, by the superior judgment. There are so many things to be learned
- Janmady asya yatah, that is the first Vedanta-sutra. The Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on Vedanta-sutra. Vedanta-sutra philosophy was expounded by Vyasadeva, mahamuni
- Jantuh, the living entity, is getting a type of body by the karma. It is not simply lusty combination
- Japan's 75% business is done in America. We are not impractical. Because there are so many workers, but they refuse - to work
- Japanese rice or some, Burmese rice. It is reddish and big and little hard, and he (the servant) likes, "Very nice." So there are classes of men, classes of animals
- Jawaharlal Nehru, our late prime minister, introduced divorce law. Now the society is in chaotic condition
- 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 said "son of God." So it is very good. It doesn't matter, if we remain son of God or servant of God faithfully, then it is first-class religious system
- Jesus Christ said, "You nonsense, stop killing." Then there will be time we'll understand one day Krsna. So the first instruction is to stop sinful activities; then he'll be qualified
- Jesus Christ says that he's son of God, and Krsna says He's God. Therefore, He's father of Jesus Christ
- 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
- Jesus Christ, what fault he had? He was preaching about God, and he was crucified. That is in your country a very good example. Simply his fault was he was talking of God, that's all, and he was crucified. So we have to meet
- Jijnasa, enquiry, means not for any other purpose, any political, social or this . . . so many things are there in this material world. But real jijnasa is brahma-jijnasa. That is, the Vedanta-sutra begins
- Jijnasuh, jnani, they do not want anything "Give me," but jijnasuh: "Actually, what is God? What is the Absolute Truth?" That is the difference
- Jiva-bhuta, the living entities, they have been described as prakrti, and prakrti means female. And Krsna has been described as purusa. So purusa is the enjoyer, and prakrti is the enjoyed
- Jivatma is small, and Paramatma, or God, is great. That you know, every one of you. You say: "God is great," but how He is great, that we do not know. That we have to know. That is called God consciousness or Krsna consciousness
- Jivera svarupa haya means the real nature of the living entity is eternal servitor, eternal servant of Lord Krsna
- Jnana, knowledge, simply material knowledge, is not perfection of knowledge. Real knowledge is to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth, Visnu. That is real knowledge
- Jnana, this knowledge, most confidential knowledge, it is not sentiment. Vijnana-sahitam. It is science. Just like in scientific knowledge you must know theoretically and practically
- Jnana-vairagya-yuktena. Not sentimental. We must know very clearly what is Krsna - that is jnana - what is my relationship with Krsna - that is jnana - and what is my duty to Krsna - that is jnana
- Jnana-yoga process means to search out the Absolute Truth or to understand the nature of the Absolute Truth by philosophical way
- Jnana-yoga system or dhyana-yoga system, that is partial understanding, Paramatma feature. In that way you can understand, you can come to the platform of understanding samah sarvesu bhutesu. But that is not perfection
- Jnanis they are also mahatmas, speculating what is the Absolute Truth. They are also called mahatma. But this mahatma, bhajanty ananya-manaso, without any deviation, this mahatma is very rare. Sa mahatma sudurlabhah
- Jnanis, they also want. They, being fed up of this material way of life, they want to merge into the existence of Brahman. That is jnani
- Jnanis, they say brahma satyam jagan mithya: "This world is false. There is no enjoyment. Actual enjoyment, to merge into the existence of Brahman." So that is also a subtle sense enjoyment
- Just always think of Krsna, always offer obeisances to Krsna, become a devotee of Krsna. Man-mana, think of Krsna always. We have to carry this message. Where is the difficulty
- Just become submissive and try to hear from authorities. San-mukharitam. Who is authority? Authority is Krsna and, or God, or His representative. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he's representative of God
- Just being hurt by the words of wife that, "I love her . . ." Later on he (Tulasi dasa) understood, - Yes, she is right. So why should I be so much attached?
- Just by supplying foodstuff to your stomach you can serve all the limbs of your body, similarly, simply by loving Krsna you can learn how to love everyone
- Just consider the position of Bhismadeva. He was lying on deathbed with all these... Of course, the Pandavas, they were their grandson. It is their duty. But why Krsna should go there
- Just for your food work little, and balance time engage yourself in Krsna consciousness. This is ideal life
- Just get yourself married and have sex life only for children, not for other purpose. So kamasya nendriya-pritih. Kama means we have got some demands of the body. That is called kama, or lust. So that does not mean that we have to gratify the senses
- Just imagine how expert supervision is there, that the sun is rising exactly in the same moment as it is to be done. The waves of the sea are going on perpetually, but the waves cannot come beyond the limit
- Just like a diamond or a valuable stone, you'll find a different color. Sometimes you'll find red, sometimes you'll find green, sometimes you'll find some other color, the same stone. Similarly, Krsna when appears, He appears in different colors
- Just like a dog is also jumping, a man is also jumping. This is going on. But that is not civilization. Real civilization means these things are to be acquired in real life, personal life; then that is civilization
- Just like a foreigner is traveling from one place to another, similarly, I am also changing my body from one body to another, one planet to another. But there is no permanent settlement anywhere in this material world. This is our condition
- Just like a man and woman becomes lusty and their combination brings forth a child, a third matter. They think like that. They are thinking everything is matter. No. There is good brain within the combination
- Just like a man may be born in a low family or poor family, but by his intelligence he gets another birth. He becomes very rich man or very learned man, very intelligent man, very philosophic . . . that life is from the university
- Just like a physician diagnoses the disease by the symptoms of the disease, similarly, we have to accept one as Brahmin by the symptoms of his behavior, not by birth
- Just like a soldier fighting, the government takes cares of his family. That is special prerogative. If he dies in the fighting, the government gives pension to the family members. So you are fortunate in that way, because your son is fighting with maya
- Just like fire. If you touch knowingly or unknowingly, it is fire, and it is burn your body. Similarly, if Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then one who has taken Him, then he will derive the highest benefit undoubtedly
- Just like for our usual life we require lawyers, we require engineer, we require medical practitioner, we require so many; similarly, in the society there must be a class of men who are fully God conscious and ideal. That is necessary
- Just like good citizenship means to abide by the laws of the state, of the government. That is good citizenship. Similarly, a real religious person means who is abiding by the orders of the Supreme Lord
- Just like here also we worship some demigods, some government officer. He (a demigod) is also man like me, but he has got some power, and in order to take some advantage of the power, I worship him. I want his favor
- Just like here we have got conception of male and female, similarly, originally, God and His energy, God is male and energy female, prakrti and purusa
- Just like I cannot see beyond this wall. My seeing power is limited. Therefore I see there is nothing beyond this wall; there is nothing beyond this room. That's not fact. There is everything
- Just like I do not see God. Then what do you see? Your seeing power is very limited. Why don't you accept that? So He's not appreciable by limited senses. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja
- Just like I want to see my wife and children happy, similarly, it is the duty of the human society to see that the cows feeling very happy. This is human civilization. Otherwise it is tiger civilization, meat-eaters
- Just like if you have achieved the quality of a medical practitioner, then your work shall be a medical practitioner. Similarly, if one has achieved the quality of a brahmin or Vaisnava, then his activities should be like that
- Just like if you take proper medicine for curing your disease, the more your disease is cured, you feel healthy life. Pure life means healthy life, and impure life means unhealthy life
- Just like if you touch fire, either knowingly or unknowingly, it will act. Similarly, if the children, imitate the elderly person, offering flower, taking prasadam, offering obeisances, they're as good as their father & mother. This is devotional service
- Just like if you want to be an engineer, you must be trained under some engineer. Similarly, if you want to be trained up spiritually, then you must accept a spiritual master
- Just like in dream at night we also work. So this is gross dream and that is subtle dream. But real life is spiritual life. But we foolish people, we are taking this life as permanent life, permanent settlement. It is not permanent settlement
- Just like in our worldly affairs we, for gentleman's etiquette, we ask, "How are you? How things are going on?" now, here the king was asking the sage, "You have become sage just to conquer over death." So highest knowledge is to conquer over the death
- Just like in the law court. You are lawyer. You are arguing. When you quote from a judgment, previous judgment, it is accepted. Similarly, when you give authoritative statement support of your talking, then it is perfect. That is the way
- Just like it is the duty of the state, of the government, to give protection to the department of law and order, similarly Krsna, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He gives protection to religious principles
- Just like laws cannot be manufactured by some individual man - laws are enacted by the government - similarly, religious principles, they are made by God
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ rebelled against the Old Testament. He formulated his own testament, New Testament. Similarly, Lord Buddha also, he rejected Vedas and he presented his own philosophy: ahimsa, nonviolence
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. So he could not be crucified. It is a false notion. There was resurrection. Because God or God's representative, they are not under the laws of this material nature
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he said that, "I am son of God." So he's representative of the Supreme. And similarly, Hazrat Muhammad, he also identified himself as a servant, padat hi bandhah, a servant of the Lord
- Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he told that, "I am the son of God." He's happy. So everyone, you can become similarly happy as soon as you are reinstated in your position
- 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 man is sleeping, and some enemy has come to attack him or to kill him. So still he's nicely sleeping. But if some friend cries, "Mr. Such-and-such, wake up, wake up! Here is enemy. He'll kill you, kill you!" he can rise up
- Just like my finger cannot be separated; or can be separated, but in the diseased condition it cannot work. It cannot work in its original, constitutional position. Similarly, due to our this material disease, we cannot properly serve the SPG, the whole
- Just like Narada Muni. He is going to the hellish planet also for preaching Krsna consciousness. So a devotee is not afraid of going anywhere for the service of the Lord. That is devotee. He has no personal desire; simply how to glorify
- 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
- Just like one has to be educated from the lower class to the postgraduate class, similarly, this division of labor is there just to elevate one from the lowest stage of consciousness to the highest stage of Krsna consciousness. So that is a cooperation
- Just like one is being educated, when he passes his examination one can understand that he's going to be engineer or a medical practitioner. Similarly, in this life you can prepare yourself to become something next life
- Just like one may possess a very valuable land, one may possess not so valuable, ordinary, and one may possess a third-class field, similarly, we living entities, we are given a certain type of body to work with it and enjoy or suffer the resultant action
- Just like ordinary machine and a complicated machine. The machine has to be worked by somebody. Not that because it is highly developed valuable machine it works automatically. This simple thing these rascals, they do not understand
- Just like our body is made of skin, that bellow is also made of skin, and it has got a big nose, and breathing is coming, "bhas-ghans, ghans-bhas." So these are the tangible examples
- Just like our children, they are seeing this Deity worship, this kirtana - they will learn. Similarly, those who have to work to earn their livelihood, mechanical or some, they can go to the . . . What is the use of wasting time going to the university
- Just like our death. What is this death? Death means a sound sleep for seven months. That's all
- Just like the Christians saying: "Jesus Christ, God." And how God can be killed by crucification? We do not discuss this point, but actually this is the fact
- Just like the rivers are flowing to the sea level. Similarly, a highly developed Krsna conscious person, at once he will hear about something of Krsna, he will be in ecstasy
- Just like the staircase is there, but not in this country, in Europe and American countries, side by side, there is lift, elevator
- Just like there are a few blind men, and one, another blind man, is proposing to help them crossing over the street. So this blind following is there in this sense, that we do not know what is the aim and objective of human society
- Just like there are physicians for treatment of the disease, there are highly learned brahmanas who are called bhattacaryas. People go there: "Sir, I have committed this sin. What I have to do?" So they prescribe that - You do like this
- Just like there is punishment according to criminality, similarly, there is punishment by nature's law. According to impious life, there is punishment
- Just like there is wash of mist, sun, as soon as the sun rises. So let Krsna rise up. Therefore our this motto is in the English Back to Godhead, - Krsna is light
- Just like these (very nice job, good salary, nice apartment, wife and children) are allurements for enticing one in this materialistic way of life, similarly, there are many allurements in the Vedic literatures
- Just like they have now created the United Nation: "My dear all nations, please do not fight. Let us make a permanent settlement, peace." But the result is the fighting is going on. It cannot be stopped
- Just like this planet is predominant by earth only, similarly, there are varieties of planet in the universe. Some planet is predominant by air; some planet is predominant by water; some planet is predominant by fire
- Just like we apply some ointment to the eyes to make it clear - our vision becomes clearer - similarly, there is ointment which is called love of Godhead
- Just like we are hearing the sastra, so he (the thief) has heard it from the law books that if one commits theft he'll be punished. And he has seen also that a person who has committed theft, he is arrested by the police, taken to the prison house
- Just like we belong to the Brahma-sampradaya. There are four sampradayas: Brahma-sampradaya, Sri-sampradaya, Rudra-sampradaya and Kumara-samapradaya. They're all mahajana
- Just like we have got different dresses according to my choice, similarly, we get different bodies according to my choice
- Just like we have got now mechanical arrangement, similarly, at that time (Sanjaya describing BG to Dhrtarastra), maybe the same arrangement, but there was no machine
- Just like we have now discovered this atomic energy. That is also tapasya. Or something wonderful, discovery, that also, tapasya. But here it is said, tapo divyam: "Undergo tapasya, austerity, penances, for transcendental realization
- Just like we sweep very nicely, cleansely, our room, similarly all types of cheating religion is wiped out, swept away. Dharmah projjhita-kaitavo atra - SB 1.1.2
- Just like we were discussing this point, sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam (CC Madhya 19.170). This is pancaratriki-vidhi. Without following these principles, the so-called devotional service, hari-bhakti, utpata, simply a disturbance
- Just like we, Krsna conscious people, we have given up intoxication. Now, if somebody comes and bribes and offers some money that, "You take this one thousand dollar and drink," you'll not agree, because your consciousness is developed
- Just like women, children: it is better for them to remain subordinate. To remain subordinate. It is practical
- Just like you are a medical practitioner. So your dharma is to treat patients. That is your dharma. So everyone has got particular occupational duty
- Just like you are working as a medical practitioner. So you earn lakhs of rupees. Give to Krsna. That is tam abhyarcya. Then you become perfect. That is also confirmed in Bhagavata
- Just like you can pick up the spot of oil floating in the water by some process immediately, similarly, by bhakti-yoga process, although the spirit soul is floating in this material ocean, he can be picked up immediately
- Just like you can train anyone as lawyer, you can train anyone as an engineer or medical practitioner, similarly you can train anyone as brahmana. That is wanted
- Just like you can understand there are engineers and there are medical practitioners. So do you take them as caste? "Oh, he is engineer caste. He is medical caste." Do you say like that?
- Just like you change your body, you change your shirts, it is not necessary that you will get the same type of shirt
- Just like you go on sleep every night, so death means to sleep for seven months, unconsciousness, very deep sleep in the womb of the mother
- Just like you have got a staircase to rise up to the fifth or sixth or tenth floor, or more than that, the whole staircase or the lift service is called yoga
- Just like you have submitted, so you can understand God. This is the only qualification
- Just like you have the facility of travelling over the surface of the earth or in the outer space on the earth. But you cannot go beyond the orbit. This is called conditioned life
- Just like you issue license to medical practitioner, registered medical. Why don't you see that which movement is genuine? That is the duty of the government
- Just like you may believe in Christian religion, I may believe in Hindu religion, but it does not mean that a Christian child is not going to become a boy
- Just like you receive material sound vibration in the radios or television from distant place, there is another machine, which can receive the vibration in the spiritual world. So that vibration is Hare Krsna mantra
- Just like you see here millions of planets or stars within this universe. This universe is a small particle only. There are many universes like this. This is only one-fourth manifestation of the planets, other three-fourth is there in the spiritual sky
- Just like you touch fire knowingly or unknowingly, it will burn; similarly, if you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra knowingly or unknowingly, it will be effective on your life
- Just like your father has got many children - you are part of the father's body - similarly, God, the supreme father, He has also many children, and you are one of them; therefore you are part and parcel of God
- Just like your radio message, television sound, they cannot go beyond this earthly planet, at most. But there is sound which can penetrate the whole universe and go to the spiritual world
- Just like your, the chief executive head is called the president, similarly, there is a chief executive head also in the sun planet, president
- Just like, in the operation table, one becomes unconscious for one hour, half an hour. Then he comes to his consciousness. Again he comes to the same point. So similarly, death is nothing but to remain practically unconscious for seven months. That's all
- Just present that here is the . . . Sukadeva Gosvami is the speaker of Bhagavatam. He says: "I learned it from my father." And who is his father? Bopadeva or Vyasadeva? This is going on
- Just see how Krsna's wonderful creation. And they defy. Oh, what nonsense they are. There is no brain in creating such nice flower, flavor? "It is automatic, nature, nature." What is this nature? Rascal. Nature means rascaldom
- Just spend your beauty or utilize your asset, that is brahmana, to be liberal
- Just talk with them (my students). They will be able to explain how they are understanding. So similarly, you will also be able to understand. It is not very difficult subject
- Just try to get out of these material clutches and begin your spiritual life. That will make you happy. That is the only source of happiness. Otherwise it is not
- Just try to understand that you are eternal. You have no death, you have no birth. Your the birth and death is due to this body. That's all. Just like I told you, death means sleeping for seven months, again rise up. Suptotthito nyaya
- Just try to understand what is asat. Asat means which will not stay. So everyone knows that this body will not stay. It will be ended today, tomorrow, or after hundred years it will be finished
- Just you are talking on the source of knowledge from the modern scientific books; similarly, we are talking also on the source of knowledge received from Vedas. It is not a religious belief or faith, blind faith
K
- Kala, time, is very powerful. In time everything can be done. In time you can become very happy, and in time you can become very distressed, very much distressed, unhappy. Time can give you. And time is also Krsna, kala-rupena
- Kalatra means wife, and through wife there are children, society, friendship and love and so many things. Sva-dhih. And that is our own thing. Yasyatma-buddhih. The nationalism is also like that
- Kalau sudra-sambhavah. Kalau means in this age, this iron age, almost everyone is a sudra. It is very difficult to find out really brahmana, ksatriya. Vaisyas maybe there are. But mostly sudras
- Kalau, in this age, you cannot find a man perfectly purified or anyway. That is not possible. Therefore you chant Hare Krsna, and that will help you, the process of purification
- Kali-yuga entered after disappearance of Krsna. Pariksit Maharaja was also very vigilant. The Pandavas, they left their kingdom because they could understand that Kali-yuga has already entered
- Kali-yuga is very strong. Time is very strong, that even coming in contact with Krsna consciousness, they are falling
- Kali-yuga means that people will be more and more unhappy. The first thing is that the duration of life will decrease, alpa-ayusa. And manda, all bad men. Hardly we'll find any good men
- Kali-yuga means three-fourths sinful life. So one who has taken to Krsna consciousness, becomes devotee, he has no sinful life, although he is in the Kali-yuga. He is not affected
- Kali-yuga, everyone is almost sudra. And still, striyo vaisyas tatha sudras te 'pi yanti param gatim. They can be elevated. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement
- Kali-yuga, nobody is prepared to sacrifice. Especially when there is question of sacrificing for God, nobody's interested. So this, because they'll not sacrifice, they will enjoy themself, forgetting the supreme enjoyer
- Kalki's nature is described in Bhagavata. He will come just like a prince, royal dress with sword, and on horseback; simply killing, no preaching. All rascals killed. No more preaching. That is the last. There will be no brain to understand what is God
- Kalpana is not faith, it is blind. "Let me imagine some form of Krsna." And therefore gradually, they come down to the position that any form you imagine as God, that is all right. They (mayavadis) have come to this degradation
- Kamadinam kathidha na kathida palita durni-desah. Even I don't want to do it, something wrong, but my senses are dictating, so "All right, let me do it." So we are... I am servant of the senses
- Kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesah (CC Madhya 22.16, (Brs 3.2.35). The slaves of the senses, they are following the dictation of the senses, and abominable activities they are doing
- Kaminam means lusty. The lusty people, they do like that. They do not care for society, do not care for elderly persons, do not care that - People will not like this
- Kanya-daya means by law the father is bound to get his daughter married. By law. He cannot escape the responsibility. This is father's duty
- Kapila Muni is explaining to His mother the glories of devotional service. So if we follow Him, then we also get informed what is the truth of devotional service. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah
- Kapiladeva addressing His mother, nrpatmaje: "My dear princess, the daughter of King" He is not addressing His mother as the wife of Kardama Muni, because she would be little puffed up that "I am the daughter of king." Kapiladeva knew how to flatter woman
- Kapiladeva was one son, and when He was grown up He also said, - My dear mother, My father has left home. I will also leave home. If you want to take some instruction from Me, you can take. Then I shall go away
- Kardama Muni begot in her nine daughters and one son, with the promise that "As soon as you get your children, then I will go away. I am not going to live forever with you." So she agreed
- Kardama Muni thought that "Her father gave me, and she (Devahuti) is becoming deteriorated in her health, in her beauty. So as husband, I have got to do something for her." So by yoga power he constructed a big city aeroplane. Not 747
- Kardama Muni was a great yogi. So while practicing yoga, he thought of marrying. That, it is natural among young men
- Karma means doing something for your personal benefit. That is called karma. Or, in plain words, doing something for sense gratification, that is called karma
- Karma means general activities on moral principle. That is called karma. Real karma means that you have to live, so you have to work. So work in such a way that you may not be entangled
- Karma means ordinary work. I work whole day; I get some remuneration and enjoy for my sense gratification. That is called karma, in this life or that life or next life
- Karma means prescribed duties. Prescribed duties. That is called karma. And vikarma means doing against the prescribed duties. That is called vikarma. And akarma means something doing which has no reaction
- Karma means there is result, either pious result or impious result. That is called karma
- Karma means you have to enjoy the result, fruitive result. That is called karma. And vikarma means punishable, papa. And akarma means you do something, but you are neither punishable nor rewardable
- Karma, fruitive activities, "Let me work hard and get the result and enjoy." This is called karma. And jnana means speculative knowledge
- Karma, jnana, yoga, these things are very popular. By karma, by activities, you can earn money and fulfill your material desire. That is called karma
- Karmi is working so hard, day and night; he is expecting that "I shall get some money out of it and I shall enjoy." And sannyasi, he is working in the same way, day and night, but he is not expecting the profit for his personal use. For Krsna
- Karmis, they are called asses. Not for his personal benefit, but he does not know for whose benefit he is working so hard, but still he is working, without benefit. Therefore sa eva go-kharah
- Karmis, they are trying to be elevated in higher planetary system. And jnanis, they are wanting to become one with the Supreme. So that is also demand. That means there is some desire. It is not anyabhilasita-sunyam
- Karne pravesila means simply one has to receive the message of Lord Caitanya. Karne means in the ear. To give the message a submissive aural reception. Then immediately one's heart becomes freed from all material contamination
- Katha-rati, attraction for krsna-katha. Simply let us hear, let us chant, let us think of Krsna. That will make us very much rapidly progressive on the spiritual path
- Kazi acted against sankirtana, so Caitanya Mahaprabhu challenged, - Now, tonight we shall perform sankirtana with one hundred thousand of people
- Ke ami kene amaya jare tapa-traya (CC Madhya 20.102). Everyone is suffering threefold miserable condition of life: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika
- Killing of animal does not mean that if a man kills a cow or goat for eating, he is killing, and those who are vegetarian, they are not killing. They are also killing. A vegetable has also got life
- Kindly let me know how these living entities who are suffering in this way can be saved, can be delivered from the severe pain of hellish condition of life. - This was his (Maharaja Pariksit's) question
- Kindly try to understand our philosophy thoroughly, and then others will follow, "He's a big lawyer. He's a Krsna conscious man." If you have any doubt, you can ask. We will try to explain
- King is supposed to be dealing in politics, economics. Therefore, according to social position, he is lesser than the brahmin, because they are simply engaged in the matter of transcendental advancement of life
- King or president, the chief of the executive... He should be exactly the representative of God. As guru is representative of God, similarly, the king or president is also representative of God
- Kirtana means kirtayati, glorifying. That is kirtana. So either you sing musically or you speak devotionally, both of them are kirtana. Just like Sukadeva Gosvami, he continually spoke to Maharaja Pariksit
- Knowingly or unknowingly we are put into such a condition that knowingly or unknowingly we have to commit something which is not very favorable for our future
- Knowledge does not mean that how you can manufacture nuclear weapon. That is not knowledge. That is illusion
- Knowledge is acquired from two sources: by direct perception and by hearing. Just like we are hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam. This is knowledge also
- Knowledge we have received by disciplic succession from my Guru Maharaja, from my spiritual master. Sanskrit is the language, but mostly we derive knowledge from Vedic revealed scriptures. And this is also one of them, the SB
- Kota nidra jao maya-pisacira kole. Everyone is sleeping on the lap of maya. Now, this human form of life is not for sleeping but for awakening and fight with maya. That is human life
- Krsna advised Arjuna to become a yogi, but Arjuna said that - Krsna, it is not possible for me. Because I am a politician, I am a soldier, I cannot sit down to practice yoga superficially. My mind will be disturbed in political affairs, in state affairs
- Krsna advises, Himself, how to become a sadhu, a saintly person. That is also only follow four principles: You simply think of Krsna. You just become devotee of Krsna, you simply worship Krsna. - You offer your obeisances unto Me
- Krsna also happens to be grandfather of Maharaja Pariksit, and Maharaja Yudhisthira also happens to be grandfather, being the eldest brother of his grandfather. So Krsna is the authority
- Krsna also has said. It is not my manufactured thing, that I am saying everyone is rascal. Krsna said, na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah (BG 7.15) Mudhas, rascals. - Those who are rascals, they do not surrender to Me
- Krsna also said that - I will not fight. I'll not fight, because this is family quarrel. I am known to every one of you. We are related. So I cannot take this side or that side
- Krsna also very compassionate - Whenever there is discrepancies, people put themselves in great suffering. Maya or Nature will not excuse. At that time I come to deliver them, to give them instruction, - Why you are suffering in this way? Do this way
- Krsna also, as spiritual master of Arjuna, He played. He is the original acarya
- Krsna always tends the cows. His name is cowherd boy. To become animal of Krsna is a great, great fortune. It is not ordinary thing
- Krsna appeared five thousand years ago. I am recently born, seventy-six years ago. How I became Krsna's representative, this question may be raised
- Krsna appeared for re-establishing the religious principle, dharma samsthapanarthaya (BG 4.8). When Krsna or any incarnation of the Lord descends, there are two kinds of mission. One mission is paritranaya sadhunam - BG 4.8
- Krsna appeared for reestablishing the religious principles, but after His disappearance, who has taken charge for this department? - That was their (sages) question. So Suta Gosvami is congratulating them, that - This question is very auspicious
- Krsna assures, "If you do these four things (always think of Krsna, become a devotee, worship and offer obeisances)," "without any doubt you'll come back to Me." And people are not agreeing even to do these simple things
- Krsna bhuliya jiva bhoga vancha kare, we wanted to enjoy, to lord it over this material world, He has given us chance, "All right, enjoy. Enjoy to your best capacity." But He is witnessing. Witnessing means you want something, Krsna is supplying
- Krsna came to establish what is real religion, not cheating religion. Cheating religion will not help us
- Krsna can eat everything. He is God. But He says that, "Give Me this." Patram puspam phalam toyam: "Offer Me this flower, fruit, water." Like that
- Krsna comes down from there (Goloka Vrndavana); therefore avatara, "comes down." Therefore He's called avatara. Or any Visnu incarnation who comes down, They come down from the higher planetary system. Therefore it is called avatara
- Krsna comes for reestablishing the principles of religion. Religion means the order set by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is religion: "You do like this." Just like king's orders, or the government orders, - Do like this
- Krsna comes here as ordinary human being, but the purpose is to reestablish the principles of religion as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam - BG 4.8
- Krsna comes Himself. He is within everyone's heart. He's instructing. He is ready to instruct, but He'll only instruct to such persons who have engaged themselves in devotional service
- Krsna comes personally to canvass that - This is not your proper order of life. You are misusing your independence for sense gratification and wandering through various types of transmigration of bodies - sometimes human body, sometimes dog's body
- Krsna comes to canvass the conditioned soul that, "For eternal happiness, for eternal dealings, you come to Me in My eternal place." Yad gatva na nivartante tad dhama paramam mama - BG 15.6
- Krsna comes, His avatara comes, His incarnation too. Because we are very thickly, intimately, related. We are sons; we are part and parcel of Krsna
- Krsna comes, the purusottama, to take us back. - Why you are now covered, your shining is stopped? You are morose. You are suffering threefold miserable condition of material existence. Why you are rotting here?
- Krsna comes. God Himself comes. He sends His devotees. He comes as a devotee just to again reclaim them (conditioned living entities). But they are so stubborn, they will not give up this habit
- Krsna consciousness begins from the tongue, not from the eyes. Some rascals want to see Krsna. They will see that Guru Maharaj-ji. You see? Such rascals will see that so-called Krsna
- Krsna consciousness devotees, they are transferred directly to the Goloka Vrndavana-dhama, without any care for this Devi-dhama, Mahesa-dhama, Hari-dhama
- Krsna consciousness is not sentiment. It is not that some sentimental people have gathered here and dancing and chanting. No. There is background. There is philosophical background
- Krsna consciousness is on the spiritual platform. It has nothing to do with the material platform. From the material platform you cannot change anyone's quality
- Krsna consciousness is the most important subject of the present-day society. The responsible men who are leading the society, the president, or the secretaries, or the mayor, they should have intelligence to understand
- Krsna consciousness means . . . the simple thing is that you chant Hare Krsna. But if you think yourself as very learned, thoughtful man, and you want to understand through science and philosophy, all right, come on. We have got books. Learn it
- Krsna consciousness means a person who is Krsna conscious, he can see everything. He can see in everything the hand of God
- Krsna consciousness means that you are part and parcel of Krsna, or God. You being separated, you are suffering in this material world. So you back to your father, go back to your father and be happy. That's all
- Krsna consciousness means the more you become active in Krsna conscious, the more you become joyful. Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). That means your real life becomes revealed, joyful life
- Krsna consciousness movement is going on all over the world with the . . . especially with the assistance of my American and European disciples
- Krsna consciousness movement is not a new thing that we have introduced or manufactured. No. It is authorized on the Vedic principle, authorized by acaryas like Caitanya Mahaprabhu and all other acaryas
- Krsna consciousness movement is so nice that you can immediately transcend all these qualitative modes of nature - immediately. Sa gunan samatityaitan. It is said clearly that anyone who is engaged in devotional service, he can transcend immediately
- Krsna consciousness movement is so nice that you can transfer your lust into love for God. Everyone is lusty. Man or woman, everyone is lusty. But that lust can be converted to love of God, Krsna
- Krsna consciousness movement is to give you perfection. It is not ordinary movement
- Krsna consciousness movement is very scientific, authorized. Try to understand Krsna. We have got so many literature. Don't waste a single moment
- Krsna consciousness movement means how to cure this material disease and go back to home, back to Godhead. Unless we cure our material disease, it is not possible
- Krsna consciousness movement means it is an endeavor to bring the rascals and fools and atheists to the platform of Krsna consciousness, the most important welfare activities in the human society
- Krsna consciousness movement means to get ourselves out of this changing condition to the eternal condition
- Krsna consciousness movement means we are trying to serve the acaryas. Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His direct disciples, the Sad-gosvamis, and their disciples. Rupa-raghunatha-pade haibe akuti. That is required
- Krsna consciousness movement means we, all conditioned soul, we have come to this material world just to enjoy sense gratification independently. This is our main disease
- Krsna consciousness movement, is teaching the science of God. And if you accept the name of the God, Krsna - this is also affirmed in other system also - then you will be able to associate with God immediately. Because God is Absolute
- Krsna consciousness movement, is to teach people how to increase his attachment for Krsna. There are many processes. The beginning of the Krsna consciousness is sraddha, a little faith
- Krsna consciousness training, is not to be promoted within this universe. Within the universe there are many planets to be promoted. But these Krsna conscious people, they want to go back to home, back to Godhead
- Krsna consciousness, you just imagine how important movement it is. It is the best welfare activities for the human society
- Krsna consciousness, you just imagine how important movement it is. It is the best welfare activities for the human society. They are all fools and rascals, and they have no knowledge, ignorant of their constitutional position
- Krsna did not encourage him that you should stop fighting. Rather Arjuna was trying to stop fighting. Krsna said, - No. You are ksatriya. You cannot stop fighting
- Krsna divided Himself into His energy and Himself. That energy, original spiritual energy, is Radharani. That is stated by Jiva Gosvami. Yes. Radha krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini saktir asmat
- Krsna does not belong to this material world. Krsna is parah puman. He is also purusa, He is also controller, but not the controller like Lord Siva, Lord Brahma, Indra, Candra, or president this, president that
- Krsna does not say that ordinary scholar or so-called philosopher can understand. Only the rajarsayo viduh. So Arjuna is one of the rajarsis. So he understood Krsna
- Krsna does not say that you become a sentimental devotee. These European and American boys, they are dancing not by sentiment. That is actual transcendental ecstasy
- Krsna does not want that you should enjoy this material world. Sometimes the foolish men, they say that - Krsna has given us this facility for sense enjoyment. Why we shall not take it up?
- Krsna expands as His energy - this material energy, this material world, the spiritual world, spiritual energy, and we are also energy, marginal energy, tatastha
- Krsna first of all slapped Arjuna: "You do not know what is the fact, and talking like a very learned man. Just try to understand what is truth." First thing is that, we never die
- Krsna fulfilled their desire in the vastra-harana. Because a woman can become naked only before husband. That is Vedic
- Krsna gives him (a Mayavadi philosopher) intelligence, counterargument: "All right, let the rascal speak as he likes." Therefore, yare yaiche nacaya: He is allowing to dance everyone as he desires
- Krsna gives you opportunity how you can live peacefully here. But that does not mean that you make your permanent settlement here. Then you are doomed
- Krsna had sixteen thousand wives. But not like us, having more than wife: one wife is crying and another wife is enjoying. No. He also expanded Himself in sixteen thousand forms. Every wife is enjoying the husband. That is Bhagavan
- Krsna had to conquer such queen by fighting. They're not ordinary wife. But still, they say that "In this way I have become maidservant." So everyone is maidservant. We are also maidservant, prakrti. Prakrti means female
- Krsna has agreed to accept your service as you can afford to do. It is not idol worship. It is actually worshiping Krsna
- Krsna has agreed to be dressed by you. If you think of Krsna, about His virat-rupa, you will fail to bring dress for that virat. His head is on the sky; His another leg is on the Patala. That is also true
- Krsna has come to you to give you nice instruction how you can go back to home, back to Godhead. That is Krsna's mission. He comes Himself, Krsna, and He comes as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, as devotee of Krsna
- Krsna has come, kindly, to accept your service as you can deal with Him. If Krsna comes in His gigantic form - Krsna has got gigantic form also, as it was shown to Arjuna - you will not be able to capture Him, neither you have any means to dress Him
- Krsna has expanded Himself as Visnu, Narayana, Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Aniruddha, so many, millions. There is no limit. That is called svamsa
- Krsna has explained this material world, bhumir apah analo vayuh. This is also nature, prakrti. There is another nature, prakrti. Prakrti means stri-linga, woman. Jiva-bhuta, the living entities, are not mentioned in this connection as purusa. Not purusa
- Krsna has got creative power; we have also got creative power. In this way, compare anything. Krsna has got independence, full independence, we have got independence, but not full independence. So that is the difference
- Krsna has got different venues of rendering service. You can serve Krsna in so many ways. We have got three venues: by working, karmana; by thinking, manasa; and by speaking we can do things
- Krsna has kindly accepted a form, the Deity. You can purchase cloth according to your means, and with your great devotion, you can dress
- Krsna Himself certifies this place duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). It is a place for miserable condition of life. Now, how you can make it a happy place? That is not possible
- Krsna Himself is guiding him and becoming the chariot driver, and He saw that "Arjuna is declining fight?" He became surprised. So He chastised him, - So this is not for a gentleman, business. You are behaving like non-Aryans
- Krsna Himself is on the battlefield and He is trying to induce Arjuna. Arjuna is declining, and He is inducing, "No, you must fight." Yad yad acarati sresthah (BG 3.21). So we have to follow the footprints of great personalities
- Krsna Himself says. Ksipram bhavati dharmatma sasvac-chantim nigacchati. Santi means he very soon he attains that perfect eternal happiness. Perfect peaceful life, eternal life, blissful life, he very soon attains
- Krsna informed that "This heat is due to the Asvatthama's release of brahmastra," and Arjuna was advised, "Counteract it." Now they do not know how to counteract this nuclear weapon. Formerly they knew
- Krsna instructing Arjuna that, "you simply act for Krsna, or God," tad-artham, "not for any other purpose." Don't create your action. Simply act according to the direction of the Lord. Then you will be freed from the reaction of your act
- Krsna is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and by all the authorities of Vedic knowledge. Formerly, during Krsna's time, there were authorities like Vyasadeva, like Narada. They also accepted that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Krsna is accepted God. How is He accepted? Vedic literature, the Brahma-sutra, says
- Krsna is accepted higher authority not only by us, by big acaryas like Sankaracarya, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, those who are guiding our Vedic life in India, Caitanya. So Krsna is accepted the highest authority
- Krsna is acting everywhere by His energy. This kala, this time, is another form of Krsna. Just like Krsna has got various forms, advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam - Bs. 5.33
- Krsna is addressed, pavitram paramam bhavan (BG 10.12). He is the supreme pure, and we are impure, and you want to see the supreme pure. You see? What audacity! I am not fire, I want to enter into the fire. You see?
- Krsna is addressing Arjuna purusarsabha, the best of the men. "O the best of the men." Certainly, Arjuna is the best of the mankind. Because he is directly friend of Krsna, who can be better man than him?
- Krsna is admitted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead by all the bona fide acaryas. And all scholars up to date, everyone, and confirmed by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Krsna is already there within your heart. You are also there. If we simply connect or link with Krsna, that is called yoga. Yoga means connecting the link
- Krsna is also very kind. If you chant seriously, without offense, even the mental condition at the time of death is disordered, Krsna will help you how to chant without any offense. The only qualification is that we must be very sincere
- Krsna is always trying. He's coming Himself as the Supreme Lord, He's coming as a devotee, He's sending His representative simply to canvass to come to the cintamani-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vrksa (Bs. 5.29), where there is eternal happiness, desire trees
- Krsna is always with Arjuna, but you'll never find they have requested, "Krsna, I am Your friend, and I am in so much difficulty." This is pure devotion. I love God. God may give me any kind of trouble - I don't mind; I will suffer patiently
- Krsna is analyzing Himself, that "All these material energies, eight kinds of material energies, they are inferior quality
- Krsna is asking me to tell lie. "Yes, I shall tell lie." That is bhakti. If I consider, "Oh, I never spoken lies in my life. How can I speak lie?" that is not bhakti. Because it is pratikula, against Krsna's desire. Common people cannot understand this
- Krsna is bhokta and we are bhogya. It is not our position that we become Krsna and become bhokta. No. That is wrong conception
- Krsna is both, within and without, and still we do not see. Nato natyadharo yatha (SB 1.8.19) - just like a person playing on the stage, and his relatives and others they cannot understand that Mr. Such-and-such is playing
- Krsna is cent percent perfect. We can become minutely perfect, seventy-eight percent. These are all analyzed by the Gosvamis
- Krsna is cetana, living force. We are also living force. So in that way, we are one in quality
- Krsna is described in the Vedic literatures as nava-yauvanam ca. Therefore His body is spiritual body
- Krsna is equal to everyone. Samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu (BG 9.29). Otherwise, how He is God? If He is partial to somebody, then He is not God. He must be equal
- Krsna is everywhere, but because we have got now our limited knowledge - we are not advanced - therefore we take a spot, the temple, and always think of Krsna, that - This is Krsna's place. This is Krsna's temple. We must take care of it
- Krsna is existing. Just like at night the sun is existing, but you have no eyes to see him. That does not mean sun does not exist. It is your deficiency. You cannot see
- Krsna is giving so much opportunity, but he will not accept. Therefore mudha. And naradhamah. Naradhamah, lowest of the mankind. This instruction can be taken in this human form of life
- Krsna is guiding us. Don't be victims of these rascals. Asatyam apratistham te jagad ahur anisvaram (BG 16.8). There is God. There is supreme controller. And God says, mayadhyaksena (BG 9.10) - Under My superintendence
- Krsna is instructing Himself, about Himself. So why there should be any doubt? There cannot be any doubt. God is explaining Himself about Him. This is called bhakti-yoga
- Krsna is just like sunlight, and maya is just like darkness. So what darkness will do in sunlight? You keep yourself in sunlight, darkness will fail to act upon you. This is the whole philosophy of Krsna consciousness
- Krsna is kind to the nondevotees also. Whatever he wants, He will give him. But the necessities of the devotee is the first consideration for Krsna
- Krsna is more anxious to reclaim us from this miserable condition of life than we are, because we are sons of Krsna
- Krsna is never allured, neither Krsna is become a victim of anything material. Krsna's position is different. That is stated in the Isopanisad, apapa-viddham
- Krsna is not different. Krsna's book, Krsna's words, Krsna's name, Krsna's fame, Krsna's glory, Krsna's entourage - everything in relationship with Krsna - that is Krsna
- Krsna is not easy that to understand. But He is so kind that He is explaining Himself. One who takes this explanation of Krsna and understand Him, he becomes perfect
- Krsna is not for the Indians or for the Americans. He's for everyone. Anyone who desires to serve Him, He'll give him intelligence
- Krsna is not hankering after your decoration, your nice foodstuff, because He is full perfect, atmarama. He can create any kind of comforts, He is so powerful. But He is so kind that He comes to you in a form which you can handle to serve Him
- Krsna is not hungry, neither He is dependent on your supply of foodstuff. No. But still, Krsna has become your guest. Just like you have brought Krsna here. He is very kind
- Krsna is not so obliged that because by concoction you think you have done something, and therefore He is obliged to come before you and dance. Krsna is not so little
- Krsna is offering all opportunities, and we, humble servant of Krsna, we are trying to preach it. But the rascals will not accept it. What can be done? That is the difficulty. They want to continue to remain as rascals
- Krsna is Para-brahman, but He is also seeking happiness with Radharani and the gopis and the cowherds boy and the cows and the calves
- Krsna is person, and whatever He orders, whatever He says, if we carry out faithfully, then our original constitutional position is regained. It can be done very quickly
- Krsna is present in everyone's heart, localized. This is impersonal expansion. Just like sunshine is impersonal expansion of the sun rays, so similarly, Brahman effulgence is the impersonal expansion of Krsna's bodily rays
- Krsna is ready to give you instruction. The spiritual master is ready. Why should you do at your whims, and do something wrong and go to hell?
- Krsna is so beautiful, attractive, and we are also, some of us, beautiful, but you cannot attract all. Krsna can attract all. He is so beautiful
- Krsna is so full that even Krsna expands million times, still, He's the same thing, Krsna. That is Krsna. Krsna is person. And even He expands, Krsna, in many ways. This is the fine philosophy
- Krsna is so kind that He gives His book, Bhagavad-gita, He sends His representative, He comes Himself as Lord Caitanya to deliver us; He sends Lord Jesus Christ. So, so many arrangement, but we don't take advantage. We are so fool and sinful
- Krsna is so kind. As Mayavadi philosopher you want to do something, Krsna will "All right, dance in this way. All right, dance. You talk like this." Krsna gives him capacity to talk. Otherwise, he cannot talk even
- Krsna is so kind. Because you cannot see without sunshine, without light - this place (material world) is dark - therefore in daytime there is sunshine; at night there is moonshine. Everything is arranged there
- Krsna is so kind. We wanted to enjoy this material world; therefore He has given us full chance - Yes, you enjoy
- Krsna is supplying everything, whatever you have got. Whatever we are eating we cannot manufacture in the factory. It is supplied by Krsna. Eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman
- Krsna is supposed to be doing something according to our material calculation, killing somebody. Or Krsna is dancing with other's wife. According to material calculation, this is not allowed
- Krsna is Supreme Spirit. Therefore we are one in quality, but Krsna is the Supreme
- Krsna is the first teacher of this Krsna philosophy. So we are taking it, carrying the same instruction
- Krsna is the original spiritual master of Lord Brahma, of Lord Siva, Narada, so many other authorities. There are twelve authorities, svayambhur naradah sambhuh - SB 6.3.20
- Krsna is the source of both life and matter. There are two energies. One is superior energy; another, it is inferior energy. The material elements, they are inferior energy, and the superior energy - jiva-bhutam maha-baho
- Krsna is the supreme authority, accepted by all acaryas. In our India the acaryas are Ramanujacarya, Sankaracarya, Madhvacarya. They all accepted Krsna, the Supreme
- Krsna is the Supreme Person, all acaryas agree. Where is the difference? Does Ramanujacarya differ from Madhvacarya, or Madhvacarya differs from Sri Caitanya, Caitanya differs from - no. There is no difference. That is Vaisnava
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Arjuna knows that, "I am not controller; I am controlled." He is devotee, he knows his position. Therefore he is now trying to control Krsna. He is ordering Krsna
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He became bankrupt, that "My dear gopis, it is not possible for Me to repay your debts which you have created by loving Me." So that is the highest perfection of love. Ramya kacid upasana vraja-vadhu
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He refers to the Vedanta-sutra. Brahma-sutra-padais caiva hetumadbhir viniscitam (BG 13.5). So we cannot go beyond the sastra. We must follow
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He's also quoting from Vedas. He does not say, "I say." He says, but He says on the Vedic authority. He doesn't say anything superfluous. No
- Krsna is there already, just like friend. Krsna is always ready to give us instruction so that we can get out of this miserable condition of life
- Krsna is there, everyone's heart. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati (BG 18.61). Krsna is not far away. But you have to search out where is Krsna within your heart. That is called yoga
- Krsna is there, just like the master is there and many workers are there also. The master speaks to the important persons, not to the ordinary person. Similarly, the master is there in everyone's heart
- Krsna is very kind. If you offer something to Krsna, He eats the offering. It is not that He's not eating. He is, but at the same time keeping it for you as it was offered. He's not like us. If you give me something to eat, I'll finish the whole plate
- Krsna is very kind. Krsna is very obliged. If you render service to Krsna one percent, He is willing to give you protection fifty percent. That is Krsna
- Krsna is within the core of heart of everyone. He knows what I want. He's giving us facilities
- Krsna is within yourself, and Krsna is without. But we do not see Krsna. The example is, nato natyadharo yatha (SB 1.8.19). Nata, a dramatic player, is dancing on the stage, and his son or relative seeing, he cannot understand
- Krsna is wonderful undoubtedly. Who can become more wonderful than Krsna? Mattah parataram nanyat (BG 7.7). Always remember, Krsna is wonderful
- Krsna knowledge, is most confidential and the king of all knowledge. Pavitram means "Not contaminated." Here in this material world everything is contaminated by the material qualities: sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna, goodness, passion and ignorance
- Krsna lives in the spiritual sky, beyond this material sky, very high, and Krsna-loka, the planet of Krsna, is the topmost planet in the spiritual world. That is stated in the Brahma-samhita, goloka-namni nija-dhamni tale ca tasya - Bs. 5.43
- Krsna manifests Himself in this Deity form. The Deity is Krsna Himself. We cannot concentrate Krsna which is not visible. Krsna is not visible to the ordinary eyes
- Krsna may enter within anything, but still He is important than anything. This is simultaneous. Andantara stham paramanu-cayantara stham (Bs. 5.35) - Krsna is within and without. That is Krsna's position
- Krsna murti is physical, but because you are differently educated, you do not know what is this world of physics. We think that this is different from Krsna
- Krsna orders prakrti, the material nature that, "He wants to enjoy in this way, you give him a suitable body like that." - He wants to enjoy by becoming a tiger: Immediately I shall jump over an animal
- Krsna performed the rasa dance. At the midnight many young girls came by hearing His flute, and He danced with them. This is, from Vedic standard, it is not very moral
- Krsna personally comes to canvass. Because we are all Krsna's children, He's very sorry that we are in this miserable condition of life. He's very sorry
- Krsna personally presented this Bhagavad-gita, He's speaking, and it is the duty of every Indian to carry this message
- Krsna personally says, catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma (BG 4.13). The varnasrama must be there. The whole aim is how to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because the Supreme Personality of Godhead has to be satisfied
- Krsna relieves me from all kinds of sinful activities, then where is my miserable condition of life? Miserable condition of life is for them who are enjoying or suffering
- Krsna said that, "The taste of the water, I am." So water, or any liquid thing you are drinking, if you are feeling some pleasure, ananda. That God is ananda. So there is the sample of ananda
- Krsna said that, "We existed in the past." This is authoritative statement. So it is to be understood that I existed in the past in different body
- Krsna said to the gopis that "You have to be satisfied with your own business. I cannot return you anything for your love." Krsna, the Supreme, the all-powerful, He was unable to repay the debts for the gopis
- Krsna said to the gopis that - I have no power to repay your debt. You be satisfied with your own activity. I cannot give you anything
- Krsna said, "I will speak to you (Arjuna) Bhagavad-gita, and you will understand the mystery of it because you are My devotee." This is the qualification
- Krsna said, - Yes, there are innumerable Brahmas. You are only four-headed. There are eight-headed, there are sixteen-headed, thirty-headed, sixty-four-headed, hundred-twenty-eight-headed, and millions of headed. So all right, I am calling them all
- Krsna said: "Yes, millions and millions of times I also appeared, and you also appeared. The difference is that you do not remember; I remember." That is the difference between God and ordinary living entity
- Krsna says "You become My devotee." "You worship Me." "Offer your obeisances unto Me." Now, all these item, there is no expenditure, and anyone can do. Even the child can do. What is the difficulty?
- Krsna says 'Surrender,' and why not? Krsna is the Supreme Lord. Let me surrender. - Then his life is successful, immediately
- Krsna says (He is Supreme Brahman), and He is confirmed by Vyasadeva, Asita, Narada. This is the process. We do not accept everyone says: "I am avatara," "I am God." We don't accept. But because it is accepted by the acaryas, therefore we accept
- Krsna says aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayis . . . - Because you are giving up all other duties, don't think that you'll be liable to punishment. I'll give you protection
- Krsna says anyone, without any stoppage, twenty-four hours, if one is engaged in devotional service, avyabhicarini bhakti-yogena ya sevate, serving Krsna, then he is no more in the guna-sangah
- Krsna says in the beginning, dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge: "I come down just to reestablish the principles of religion." What is that religion? Not this Hindu religion, Muslim religion, Christian religion
- Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita that "These, all these living entities, they are My part and parcels," means "as good as I am." But thing is he is concocting; he is manufacturing ideas to become happy. And with the senses he is trying to satisfy himself
- Krsna says knowledge means one must know this is my real, acute miserable condition of life, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam (BG 13.9). This is knowledge
- Krsna says personally man-manah: "Always think of Me." Not only that, anyone who is thinking of Krsna always, twenty-four hours, Krsna gives him the certificate - the topmost yogi
- Krsna says something, and I understand something. That you go on with your millions of years; it will never be possible. You have to understand Krsna as He says. Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. That is real understanding
- Krsna says that "Don't be attracted by pious activities; neither go down to abominable condition of life. Simply capture Me." Mam ekam saranam vraja. That is the whole instruction of Bhagavad-gita.
- Krsna says that "I shall explain to you jnanam, theoretical knowledge, with practical experiment." Not that you have to accept this knowledge blindly. Practical experiment
- Krsna says that "I spoke to sun-god." So by hearing this sruti, we understand that there is also life and there is also system, the government, the chief executive
- Krsna says that "If I do somebody special favor, then I make him poverty-stricken. I take away all his means of sense enjoyment." You see? That is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Krsna says that "You surrender to Me, and you'll be free from maya." Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam sara . . . aham tvam (BG 18.66): "I'll give you protection." Mam eva ye prapadyante (BG 4.11). The same thing, whole instruction, is there
- Krsna says that - These foolish creatures, mudhah, who are thinking that 'We shall work for sense gratification,' they are mudhas
- Krsna says that He comes, He descends, with two purposes: paritranaya sadhunam (BG 4.8), to give relief to the pious, to the righteous, and to vanquish the miscreants, and to establish the real religious principle
- Krsna says that stop work means stop working this nonsense work. What is that nonsense work? This material activities - sense enjoyment - it is nonsense. Why nonsense? Because it is animalistic
- Krsna says that sukham atyantikam. Atyantikam means the superhappiness, that which you cannot excel more. That is the final point. That sort of happiness is not possible to achieve
- Krsna says that sukham atyantikam: the supermost happiness can be achieved not by these senses, but atindriya. Atindriya means transcendental senses
- Krsna says that this place is full of miseries. To get that one million dollar you have to undergo so many miserable condition of life
- Krsna says that you have got intelligence. "You consider. I have spoken to you. Now you use your intelligence and do whatever you like." Krsna does not deny your intelligence. There is no meaning
- Krsna says that, "Always think of Me." Man-mana. Man-mana means "about Me." "You just become My devotee." So we are teaching our students in that way, how to think of Krsna always. Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna
- Krsna says that, "If I do not place the ideal life, then the population will be sankara." Sankara means unwanted; creating disturbances always. There will be no peace in the world
- Krsna says that, "These material energies are inferior," apara. Just like in everything within our experience, we have got inferior quality and superior quality
- Krsna says that, "You give up your nonsense manufactured religion. Here is religion. Surrender unto Me." Who will deny? Any religious person will accept it. Who will deny? This is dharma
- Krsna says that, "You surrender unto Me." We have to preach this cult. We surrender unto Krsna, and you be saved from the problems of your life. That is our business
- Krsna says that, - You have solved all the problems of miserable condition of life. That is all right. But you should always keep in front these problems, prominently - janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi
- Krsna says the third one, third one is to be considered more fortunate, third one, who has got his birth in the family of a yogi
- Krsna says, "Accept this philosophy." What is that? "Always think of Me, become a devotee of Me." "Worship Me and offer little obeisances unto Me." Four things. It is not difficult
- Krsna says, "Anyone who takes shelter of Me, never mind what he is. He may be lowborn, he may be a sudra, he may be woman, he may be whatever he may be." - He can also go to My kingdom
- Krsna says, "Generally, mass of people, they are ignorant. They perform some religious rituals, knowingly or unknowingly, as a matter of superstition or custom." But one who is intelligent, he should know that - By this sacrifice, I must get the result
- Krsna says, "Give Me foodstuff prepared from this group." That we do. Accepting that the fruits, they have got life. There are many fruits, it is offered by the tree for eating. The tree's not killed
- Krsna says, "I am pranavah." So omkara is not different from Krsna. But omkara is pronounced by the impersonalists. That is the difference. Krsna, when He says that "I am pranavah, I am omkara," then where is the objection?
- Krsna says, "These gross and subtle elements, they are inferior energy. Apareyam itas tu viddhi prakrtim me param: "There is another, superior energy." What is that superior energy? Jiva-bhuta, the living entity
- Krsna says, "You simply always think of Me, Hare Krsna." Not difficult. Krsna has given you the tongue. Every one of you can chant Hare Krsna. You have no expenditure, but great gain
- Krsna says, - No. You must be dutiful. Never mind who is that, your grandfather or your teacher. You are a ksatriya. A ksatriya has no other consideration in the fight. He must fight
- Krsna says, aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami (BG 18.66). Krsna says, "All the sinful reaction of the surrendered soul . . ." So spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. So he has also to accept
- Krsna says, brahma-sutra padais caiva hetumadbhir viniscitam. You take Vedanta-sutra; you study from the authoritative sources. Then your life becomes perfect. And take the . . . carry this message all over the world
- Krsna says, dharmaviruddhah kama aham, "Which is not against religious principle, that kama, that kind of lust, I am." But not for other purposes
- Krsna says, duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15): "This place is simply for miserable condition of life." Duhkhalayam asasvatam. - And still, it is temporary
- Krsna says, even if you go to the Brahmaloka, that is also not security that you get rid of the four principles of material life, birth, death, old age and disease. A-brahma-bhuvanal lokah punar avartino 'rjuna. Again coming down
- Krsna says, Everything, whatever knowledge you are getting, it is directly from Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Perfect knowledge
- Krsna says, jnanam te 'ham sa-vijnanam (BG 7.2): "I'll speak to you about jnana." Everyone is in ajnana and falsely thinking that he is some very important person. This is ajnana
- Krsna says, mad-bhakta-pujabhyadhika (SB 11.19.21). If somebody worships a devotee, that worshipment is more valuable than worshiping Krsna. Krsna says like that.
- Krsna says, man-mana bhaktah; you say: "You become Krsna's bhakta." Actually we are doing that. We are not doing any miraculous thing
- Krsna says, mattah parataram nanyat (BG 7.7). Aham sarvasya prabhavo (BG 10.8). So if we have to believe Bhagavad-gita, then Krsna is the Supreme. That's all
- Krsna says, most authoritative statement, and giving the example, dehino 'smin yatha dehe kaumaram . . . (BG 2.13). So how you can check this dehantara
- Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (Bg. 18.66). If you come to that stage of life, then you are dutiful. Otherwise, if you create your duties as monkey, that is not duty
- Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja. Don't create, manufacture, your principle of religion, concocted. That is the difficulty
- Krsna says, vistabhyaham idam krtsnam ekamsena sthito jagat (BG 10.42): "The whole worldly affair is going on because I am there." Vistabhya: "I have entered into it." Don't you read in the Bhagavad-gita? Then
- Krsna says. You'll have to change this body. It may be for fifty years, sixty years, utmost hundred years, but still, you have to change this body. Therefore asat
- Krsna says: "Anyone who comes under My shelter, never mind he is the lowest of the lowest, lowborn . . ." The striyo vaisyah . . . formerly, even the woman and the mercantile community and sudras, they were also considered as papa-yoni
- Krsna says: "Even in future also, we shall continue to exist like this. You are individual. You are Arjuna. I am Krsna. And all other living entities" That is real understanding
- Krsna says: "I spoke." So it is millions and millions, at least, four hundred thousand millions of times, millions of years ago, according to the calculation of Manu. So Krsna said millions and millions of years ago this Bhagavad-gita He remembers
- Krsna says: "Surrender unto Me." A dog cannot do that, but a human being can do it. If he does not do it, then he's the lowest of the mankind. He is not taking the opportunity
- Krsna says: tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13). So similarly, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). This is authoritative statement of God, and practically we see that we get one body after another, but I continue. So where is the objection
- Krsna science means full spiritual knowledge. That is accepted by the acaryas
- Krsna selected Arjuna: "My dear Arjuna, I shall speak to you the whole philosophy which I instructed to sun-god." "Why You are prepared to instruct me?" Krsna says, bhakto 'si, - Because you are My devotee
- Krsna should not be considered as ordinary being. We are worshiping Krsna in this temple, not an ordinary human being. But Krsna is so kind. He is the SPG. He is greater than the greatest, and still, He can become smaller than the smallest
- Krsna speaking in the Seventh Chapter, mayy asakta-manah. We have to increase our attachment for Krsna. So there is process. If you actually serious, you can take the process, and you will be successful
- Krsna spoke Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna not for Arjuna. He came for everyone, because He loves everyone. Everyone is son
- Krsna took the wheel of the chariot and came before him that, - Bhisma, you stop this fight, otherwise I'll kill you
- Krsna took up one of the wheel of the chariot and came before, "Now, Bhisma, you stop this fighting; otherwise I will kill you." Bhisma at once gave up his arrow, and he offered, - All right. Kill me
- Krsna wanted to fight; the devotee is prepared, "Yes, I shall fight You." And He'll kill you. "This is my pleasure." This is devotee
- Krsna wants this, that - These rascals they are suffering in this material condition of life, three miserable condition, and still, they are so rascal, they do not come to their senses
- Krsna was smiling, - How is that? Arjuna is My friend, he is so advanced, has been overcome by this temporary illusion. His duty is to fight, and in the presence of other party he is ready to fight, and this man, My friend Arjuna, is declining to fight
- Krsna was so friendly and very loving friend, not ordinary friend. Therefore Krsna said - My dear Arjuna, don't be disappointed because you cannot execute this astanga-yoga. The first-class yogi is he who always thinks of Me
- Krsna was there. So Brahma is admitting that this Krsna is parabrahman sanatanam. So we have to take evidence from the authorities. There are twelve authorities according to sastra. Brahma is one of the authorities
- Krsna was with him (Arjuna), but He was like friend. So friendly talks sometime does not become very serious. But talks between the spiritual master and disciple is serious
- Krsna will give you chance: "All right, if you have got still desire for material enjoyment, do it." "I want to become a king." "All right, become a king." Then "I want to become a dog." "All right, become a dog." He gives you both opportunity
- Krsna will give you, whatever you want - but in this material world. In the spiritual world you cannot become a competitor of Krsna
- Krsna's another name is pasu-pala. He is maintainer of the animals. He takes pleasure in tending the cows, surabhi. These are surabhi cows, not these ordinary cows. Surabhi cows means you can milk as many times as you like and as much milk as you like
- Krsna's appearance does not mean that He has become different. The nice example is set here by Baladeva Vidyabhusana: just like a valuable stone. You take in your hand, you find sometimes yellow, sometimes red, sometimes white, like that
- Krsna's color is described there (in sastra). Krsna's peacock feather is described there. Krsna's flute is there. Krsna's ever-eternal consort . . . pranaya-keli. In loving mood always, Krsna. He's always in enjoying spirit. So we get idea of Krsna
- Krsna's name is given according to His office. Just like a person at home, he is "father," and in the court he is "my lord," the same man. Same man, high-court judge, his wife is calling him by name, - John
- Krsna's name is Natavara. Natavara means the greatest dramatic dancer. And another His name is nato natyadharo yatha (SB 1.8.19). He is dancing in such a nice way that He is attracting everyone
- Krsna's name, form, quality, etc., is not understood by these blunt senses, so how it is to be done? Now, sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Again jihvadau: beginning from the tongue, controlling the tongue
- Krsna's pastimes, appearance and disappearance, is continuous and eternal. There is no stoppage
- Krsna's service begins from the tongue, because tongue has got two functions, namely to vibrate, to speak something, and to taste something. So you engage
- Krsna, expanding Himself into millions, still, He remains a Krsna, the same Krsna. It is not that material thing. If you take a material thing, anything, if you divide it into millions portion, then original form is finished
- Krsna, for understanding of the common people, the highest truth of Vedic literature, the highest truth of Vedic literature is Krsna, and nothing else
- Krsna, I was mistaken. I forgot Your mastership, You are my eternal Lord. So I was bewildered. I was wandering. Now I have come to my senses. I surrender unto You sincerely. You accept me
- Krsna, or God, is all-spirit. Therefore we have to go back to Godhead means with spiritual body, not with material body. That is your highest perfection
- Krsna, or Visnu, has got many thousands of names. Any name will be profitable. That doesn't matter. But because we have to follow the footsteps of great personalities, great devotees, therefore, as we are following the footsteps of Lord Caitanya
- Krsna, Sanskrit word, means "all-attractive." But in the greatest. You say that God is great. Krsna means the greatest all-attractive. Unless you become very great, you cannot be attractive
- Krsna, so long I was in darkness. Now I surrender unto You. If You like, You can kill me, if You like, You can maintain me. - This is surrender. Then Krsna takes charge
- Krsna, this word, means all-attractive. Krsna is attractive to every living entities, not only human being, even the animals, birds, bees, trees, flowers, fruits, water
- Krsna, when He was present on this earth, so many people saw Him. And since then, there are so many temples of Krsna's Deity, Krsna's form
- Krsna-katha, talks about Krsna, you, either you understand it or not understand it, it doesn't matter, if you simply sit down to receive, give aural reception to such message, you become pious. Immediately
- Krsna-prasna means all-including, everything - past, present, future, moving, not moving, and big and small. This is Krsna understanding
- Ksatriya is meant for give us protection, and the brahmana means to give us the ideal life, what is the goal of life, and sudras, they cannot do anything of these . . . therefore they are sudra
- Ksatriya means those who live their life under the instruction of the brahmin but they are engaged in administration of the state. Then vaisyas, still less intelligent class
- Ksayaya jagatah ahitah (BG 16.9). Ksayaya means "For destruction and for mischievous condition." Therefore, despite all advancement of so-called scientific knowledge, the world becoming more and more in dangerous and destructive condition
- Ksetra means field. Just like a tiller, agriculturist, he is given a certain tract of land, and he tills and produces grains or some vegetables or something eatable
- Ksirodakasayi Visnu has a planet within this universe near the polestar. And from that Ksirodakasayi Visnu, the expansion Paramatma is distributed in everyone's heart
- Kuruksetra is a place which is still a place of pilgrimage. The Hindus, those who are followers of Vedic rites, they go there. They perform religious rituals. And there is Vedic injunction, kuru-ksetre dharmam acaret, dharma yajet
- Kuruksetra is still there, and it is a dharma-ksetra. From Vedic order, Kuruksetra is dharma acaret. Still, people go there by thousands and by millions as pilgrimage. So where is the difficulty, dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre, unless you make difficulty
L
- Laksmana was the daughter of Duryodhana. She was married with Krsna's son, and there was some misunderstanding. The ksatriya families, whenever there was marriage, there was fight also. That means they exhibited the valor of ksatriyas
- Land is not the place for the fish, however you try to make him comfortable, he will never be comfortable. You throw him in the water - he is comfortable. Similarly, we are spirit. We are now encaged within this material body
- Last and ultimate feature is Krsna's personal body, sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah. Vigrahah means form. That form is not like ours. That is sat, cit, ananda
- Last night you were present in the meeting? Read our books very carefully, and as soon as there is some doubt, inquire
- Last word (mad-yajino 'pi yanti mam) is, Krsna says that, "If one wants to come to Me," "Then he can also come to Me." Now you make your judgment: if you want to go back to the again animal forms of life, you can go
- Law, if there is change . . . actually, there is no change. There cannot be change. Real law means there is no change
- Laws of material nature means karma. You act in certain way and you get the result, good or bad; that is called karma. Sat-karma or asat-karma
- Laziness is not bhakti. There must be something. But if somebody says, "Now I'll chant, sitting down. Who is going to see me? I'll doze, and people will know I am chanting." You see? This kind of cheating will not do
- Lazy fool is better than the active fool. Just like the monkey, it is active fool. In the Western country, you don't see many monkeys. But in India, there are many monkeys. As soon as a monkey will come, he will create some mischief
- Leaders are blind, and they are leading blind men. Society is in chaotic condition
- Learned sage, by his experience he is saying that after studying all Vedic literature, Upanisads, Vedanta, Puranam, four Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, volumes of literature, so the conclusion is that, "O my dear Lord," - You are the only ultimate shelter
- Leg can walk, but leg cannot do the work of brain. So at the present moment we have got all walking men, no brain. Therefore the society is in chaotic condition
- Less than sudra, the candala, they are taking the part of ksatriya or brahmana or vaisya. That is the effect of this Kali-yuga. Therefore it is very lamentable. One must be trained up
- Let him explain what is that fault (in our philosophy). Then we can reply. But without fault, if they make some complaints, that is very difficult thing. What is our fault? Please tell me?
- Let him play all the night, all the day. Why you parents should be anxious to send him to educational institution? It is preparation for the next life. Similarly, this life is also meant for next life. Evolution
- Let Krsna pass any amount of stool and urine. We have nothing to do with that. So let there be external energy
- Let me go out. I shall enjoy life freely. - What freedom? You are already rich man's son. You can enjoy the property of your very, very rich, powerful father, and what independence you will enjoy? This is criminality
- Let the earth go to the earth. Let the water go to the water. Let the fire go to the fire. Let this ether go to the ether, because this is combination of earth, water, fire, so disperse it
- Let them remain in their position. We don't disturb. Sthane sthitah sruti-gatam tanu-van-manobhih (SB 10.14.3). Simply they will kindly give their aural reception what we are speaking
- Let us dissolve this so-called nationality; accept this whole planet belonging to us, all the human being, animals, birds, beasts, trees, as they are on this planet, - if we accept this philosophy, there is no question of chaotic condition of the society
- Let us follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita as it is, our life will be perfect. That is a fact. Don't divert your attention here and there
- Let us get this chance. Simple method. So we'll go. Let us go everywhere, hell or heaven. It doesn't matter. Let us have this chance and speak something about God. That's all
- Let us go on, one court after another, one court after . . . if there is fight, we must be prepared to fight. If required, take Setterji. He'll help
- Let us not criticize others. Let us go on with our own work. Make your progress steady, you see
- Let us perform this sacrifice (sankirtana) with patience and perseverance, with steadiness, and then surely we shall achieve the desired result, spiritual salvation
- Let us try to render service to Krsna very sincerely. Even a drop will never go in vain, nitya. In this connection Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's prayer, ayi nanda tanuja kinkarama patitam mam . . . is very instructive
- Liberation means who come to the platform of real knowledge. That is the definition given in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Licking of the bottle of honey is not tasting. The contents, the honey, real honey, if it is open, and if you take, then you will get taste. So to whom it is open? It is open to the bona fide disciple by the bona fide spiritual master
- Life also came from life; matter also came from life. That is explained in the Vedanta-sutra: janmadyasya yatah. And it is explained in BG also: aham sarvasya prabhavah (BG 10.8). So there is no difficulty
- Life has become so changed that in this age actually what is called yoga, it is not possible. First condition is that ekaki yata-cittatma: he should remain alone, he should perform yoga system alone, not in . . . with friends and many other yogis. No
- Life is to utilize the energy for perpetual happiness. They do not know that there is some perpetual happiness, there is perpetual life. They are so ignorant. Therefore they are trying - Whatever happiness can be had here, just enjoy
- Light and heat we are feeling, that means the sun is in the sky. Similarly, our consciousness and knowledge, etc., are there, that means that the atma is there. The same atma, when it will go out of this body, there will be no more consciousness
- Like a bird. He can fly in the sky without any mechanical arrangement. He has got the potency. You cannot. If you want to fly in the sky, then you have to make some machine
- Like a chaste woman has got good reputation, similarly, a chaste tongue . . . chaste tongue means . . . chaste tongue and ear. Jihvadau. Our spiritual life begins from tongue
- Like a child learns to eat, little, little. Otherwise there will be no more food. Therefore dharma is required to stop this miserable condition of life. That is real dharma
- Like a dog, when it serves a nice master, he's happy. Otherwise, it is street dog. Nobody cares for it. Street dog
- Like a man fallen in the dark well, so it is sure death, atma-ghatam. Unless we are very cautious, this grha-andha kupam, this family life, is very dangerous for spiritual advancement
- Like a man is fallen in a dark well. He's crying, "Save me, save me," and one man drops a rope, "Please catch it, I'll save you." If you don't catch, then whose fault it is
- Like a peon, if I present your friend's letter without any correction, then I have done my duty. That's all. So it is not difficult
- Like a person resigns from an inferior quality of service and accepts a superior quality of service, similarly, our prayer to Krishna is to give us relief from the inferior quality of service to Maya
- Like a police constable is working under the direction of magistrate or superior officer, similarly, prakrti is giving us various types of miserable condition of life directed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Like Arjuna surrendered. So surrender means, he had to fight. Not that, "I surrender, I do nothing." That is not surrender. Doing nothing of the material thing, that is negation. Take the positive view. That is doing always for Krsna
- Like Haridasa Thakura, he's sometimes called Yavana-Haridasa. He's not yavana. He is hundred times, thousand, million times better than brahmana. But because he is born in a Muhammadan family, he was, another name
- Like I have taken some poison. Now you go to a doctor, he gives you medicine. The poisonous effect is finished, or gone. You are now free. And just after coming from the doctor's house, again you take poison, and again go to the doctor
- Like on the sea, you are in the boat. You are transcendental. But the boat can merge into the water any moment unless you are very carefully playing it
- Like state affairs going on, but ultimate aim is to keep the government satisfied. Then you'll get everything nicely
- Like Sukadeva Gosvami, you should hear patiently, submissively, with service and question. So in that way Maharaja Pariksit attained salvation in seven days
- Like the cats and dogs and hogs, they cannot understand that what miserable condition of life they are pulling on, similarly, a human being is called rational animal
- Like the Hawaii university students, "What is the wrong to become a dog?" So if you think like that, then you become a dog. Nature is ready to give you a dog's body. That is vasana
- Like the Nalakuvara; they were taking bath naked without caring for Narada. All right, you become naked for one hundred years
- Like there is no existence of horse egg, similarly, even if you attain that higher planetary system, what do you gain by that? You don't gain anything, because the four principles of material existence will continue there also
- Like this body is a machine, similarly, the whole cosmos is a big machine. It is complete. One sun is there and keeping everything complete
- Like this cow dung. You may think that, "This is contradiction. In one place (in Vedas) it is said that stool of an animal is impure, now here it is again said that cow dung is pure." So if you like, you can make analysis
- Like this Dayananda. He did not care for anyone. He became acarya. He started.
- Like we get some palatable foodstuff - we eat up to the neck. No. Krsna is atmarama. Krsna has no hunger. Even if He is hungry, He can fulfill it Himself. He doesn't require your help
- Like we send our children to school, college, to teachers for reforming. That is reformation. The animals, they are unable to accept this reformatory process
- Limited means if you understand that, "I am bound up. I am going round the law," that is all right. But don't say that - Beyond this limit there is nothing
- Liquor shop is licensed by the government. Does it mean the government is encouraging that, "You become drunkard"? But government is giving this license because there is a class of men who must drink
- Little flower, fruits, offering to the Deity, mad-yaji mam namaskuru. It is so easy. And by practicing this, Krsna says if you do this only, then mam evaisyasi, you come back
- Living body means that the soul is there, therefore the body is moving. And as soon as the soul is not there, the body is nothing but a lump of matter
- Living condition means to love somebody. Love propensity is there within me, you. I want to love you or you want to love me or I want to love somebody, but I want to love; that is my hankering. But because love is misplaced, therefore we are frustrated
- Living entities' real identification is prahlada, blissfulness. But on account of material association, we are in miserable condition of life
- Living entities, spiritual spark, that measurement is given there. Whenever there is measurement, there is form. But because we cannot see the form, we say nirakara. It is our incompetency
- Loafer class, they should be trained up as sudras - in carpentry, in weaving. It doesn't require academic education. Simply make a skill. They'll learn

- Lord Buddha's philosophy is there is no acknowledgement of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or any God
- Lord Caitanya also supported this philosophy of Krsna, that anyone is eligible for going back to the kingdom of Krsna. This simple process
- Lord Caitanya appeared on the phalguni purnima. Purnima means full moon, and phalguni means the month which is called Phalguna, which is calculated from 15th February to 14th March
- Lord Caitanya as a teacher, He is teaching us that - "I am a servant of the servant of the servant of the master of the gopis, the maintainer of the gopis." Krsna is never directly approached
- Lord Caitanya instructed him (Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami) that, - Don't be in a hurry, gradually Krsna will give you a chance to be aloof from these worldly affairs
- Lord Caitanya is going to explain the potency of the Lord - three potencies: spiritual & material and the marginal potency. How they are acting, throughout the whole cosmic manifestation, beyond that also, that very simple word, everyone can understand
- Lord Caitanya is preaching simply this, that you all chant Radha-Krsna, or Hare Krsna, that's all. Ei sikha diya, sab nadiya phirche nece' gaura-nitai - By teaching this philosophy, the two brothers, Gaura-Nitai, are traveling all over Nadia
- Lord Caitanya is so munificent that He has given us a, I mean to say, easy process. Otherwise Krsna consciousness is not easy. Because Krsna is the last word of Absolute Truth
- Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu chanted these sixteen names - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna - therefore we also follow the footprints of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We are also chanting the same Hare Krsna maha-mantra, and we shall request you also
- Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu says: "Anyone who knows this science (Krsna Consciousness), he becomes spiritual master. It doesn't matter what he is." He has actually said: kiba sudra kiba vipra nyasi kene naya yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei 'guru' haya
- Lord Caitanya's direct disciples, Gosvamis, Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami, they also, the same disciplic succession, they also worship Krsna in that separation feeling
- Lord Caitanya's pastime is still going on, but some of the fortunate devotees, they can see. Anything, God's pastime, that is perceivable through devotional service. Bhaktya mam abhijanati (BG 18.55). Only. This is the process. No other process
- Lord Caitanya, five hundred years ago, ordered it (the KC movement). Lord Caitanya is accepted as Krsna Himself in the form of a devotee. Krsna, when He was personally present, He stressed that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Lord Caitanya, when he was instructing Sanatana Gosvami, he began from this point: what is that real constitutional position of the living entity
- Lord Caitanya, who started this movement five hundred years ago in Bengal, India, He immediately informs you that our real identity, real constitutional position, is that we are part and parcel of Krsna, or God
- Lord Jesus Christ - he was God conscious, Krsna conscious, but he was not satisfied in himself. If he would have continued his God consciousness alone, he would not have met crucification
- 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 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 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 ordered, first order is, "Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not covet." Who is following
- Lord Jesus Christ said that, "You hate the sin, not the sinner." Not the sinner. This is very nice. Because sinner is illusioned. He's mad. If you hate him, then how you can deliver him
- Lord Jesus Christ said: "My Lord, hallowed be Thy name." He wants to glorify the name of the Lord. And some people says that there is no name of God. How? If Lord Jesus Christ says: "Hallowed be Thy name," there must be name
- Lord Jesus Christ said: "Thou shall not kill," and now they are interpreting, "Killing means murdering, human being." But that is not in the Bible
- Lord Jesus Christ says, "Thou shall not kill." Just imagine what the audience were. They are killers, so what they will understand about Krsna? Let them first stop this killing. Then the stage will come he'll understand what is Krsna
- Lord Jesus Christ says, 'Thou shall not kill,' and you are expert in killing. And you are still Christian? So you cannot understand what you have done? You have always misguided people. - I told him. So he was not very happy to hear this straight answer
- 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 practically worked. So there is practical work. No question of going into the secluded place. We should remain in the congested city and preach this KC movement without being affected by this contamination of city life
- Lord Jesus Christ, he was crucified. Still, he was so tolerant he, at the time of crucification, he's praying to God, "My Lord, these people do not know what they are doing. Please forgive them." Just see how much tolerant. Titiksava
- 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 Krsna says that "If I do not set example in My life, then there will be unwanted population." And actually that has become now in the present world
- Lord Krsna says that in order to reach to that stage (developed consciousness) of perfection, you should work. Your work should not be stopped
- Lord Krsna says that, yesam anta-gatam papam: one who is completely free from all sinful reaction of life, such persons, without any duality
- Lord Krsna, He is teaching Arjuna directly the perfect form of yoga. If you actually want to perform the yoga system, then here is authoritative statement by the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Lord Siva is also great devotee. Out of twelve great authorities, Lord Siva is one. Lord Siva, Lord Brahma and Narada. Svayambhur naradah sambhuh (SB 6.3.20). Svayambhuh means Lord Brahma
- Lord Siva is Vaisnava; he is the greatest devotee; he is the number one demigod - and everything is all right. But if you say that he is the Supreme, then he will feel insulted, that - What is this nonsense saying?
- Lord Zetland, sometimes he was governor of Bengal. So when we were student, he came to our college. He was very learned philosopher; especially he was lover of Indian philosophy
- Love between husband and wife will be disturbed as soon as there is no satisfaction of sex desires. Dampatye ratim eva hi
- Love between two persons, there must be exchange of loving feelings. These are the exchange of loving feelings. Unless the exchange loving feelings are there, that is not love. That is theoretical. That is not practical
- Love for Krsna, or God, how you can develop or how you can awaken, that is explained by Krsna in this verse. Mayy asakta-manah partha yogam yunjan mad-asrayah. You have to increase your attachment
- Love is deserved for Krsna, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So more we learn how to love the Supreme Lord, that is perfection of life
- Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling, then there is love; not by force. That is rape.Why one is called lover, another is called rape
- Love is there everywhere. Even in cats' and dogs' love there is love. But the perfection is when you actually find out the person to love and you actually do it
- Love is there, object of love is there, but it is misplaced. Therefore, we are not getting happiness. When it will be properly placed, love and the object of love, then we'll be happy
- Love is there. Unless there is love, you cannot work. That is not possible. So this is material way of life
- Love means without any motive. Ahaituki. And that, that love cannot be checked by any material impediments
- Love of God cannot be checked by any material condition. It is not that because a man is poor, therefore he cannot love God. No. If a man is very rich, therefore he cannot love. No
- Lower than human being - animals, birds, beasts, trees, aquatics, insects - they have no privilege to inquire about the Absolute Truth. It is in the human form of life one can inquire about the Absolute Truth. Athato brahma jijnasa
- Lower than human being up to the animals, there are so many forms of life. Jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati. In this way, varieties of life
- Lower than the human being, there are 8,000,000 forms, and before coming to the human form of life we had to pass through this 8,000,000 types of forms
- Lower than the human form of life, cats and dogs, they cannot understand what is spiritual pleasure. That is not possible
- Lust and love, that means the same thing is there. Simply one has to change the account. That's all. Lusty people, they are working on account of sense gratification, and lover of Krsna is working for Krsna's satisfaction
- Lust for opposite sex, this is called lust. And greediness - to eat more, more than we can digest. When these two things are there, lust and greediness, that means we are now being conducted by the ignorance and passion
M
- Ma ya: "What you are accepting, that is false." This is called maya. So we are accepting, "I am this body," "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am black," "I am white," "I am thin," "I am fat." So this is maya
- Machine is there, but the floating is depending not on the mechanical arrangement, but on the pilot. Is there any disagreement? If the pilot is not there, the whole machine immediately will fall down. Immediately
- Mad-deva, that "Krsna, is my worshipable Deity only," this conclusion comes after many, many births of culturing knowledge, jnana, yoga, karma. It is not so easy. Therefore we have to take shelter of such person who has taken Krsna as the only shelter
- Madhudvisa Maharaja was singing, and so many men became enthused to dance. So unless there is spiritual strength, it cannot be done. Others cannot ask and dance. No, that is not possible
- Madman, that should be treated. That is humanity. A madman, he has become mad, and "Get him out." No. Human society's duty is to treat him to become a sane man
- Madness should be for Krsna. By this devotional service. You practice it to love Krsna. And then when you come to the actual stage, you will be mad after Krsna
- Maha-bhagavata required also as the head of the chief executive function. That is also required. Otherwise, how people will be happy? Every field, there must be maha-bhagavata
- Maha-Visnu has placed Himself in this material energy, maha-tattva, and by His nisvasa, by His inhaling and exhaling, the material energy is agitated. Then the three gunas are there. Then, by interaction, counteraction, the whole creation takes place
- Mahajana means authority. There are twelve authorities according to Vedic sastra. One of them is this Kapila

- Maharaja Pariksit was protected by Krsna. He could counteract it, but still, he tolerated that punishment, or the curse given by a Brahmin boy. He immediately resigned from his royal throne, handing over the charge to his son
- Maharaja Pariksit, as soon as he saw that a cow was being attempted to be killed, immediately he took his sword . . . "Who are you, nonsense? You are killing my citizen." This is good government
- Maharaja Yudhisthira ruled over the earth. Now, it is clearly stated, paridhyupantam: "Up to the limit of the seas." That means all the seas - the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the biggest oceans, the Indian Ocean. That means the whole world
- Maharaja Yudhisthira, the topmost pious person. His name is Dharmaraja, the king of religiosity. He is the eldest brother. And Bhima and Arjuna, they are devotees and so great hero. They can kill thousands of men. They're so powerful
- Mahatmas means those who have realized God, not this politician mahatma. No. Mahatmas description is there in the BG, "They are under the spiritual energy." They are not under the material energy
- Mahim maha-bhagavatah sasasa, ruled over, a great devotee. It does not mean a great devotee is simply engaged in chanting Hare Krsna mantra. No. A great devotee may be the chief of the executive function of the state. He can become. That is required
- Main teaching, so far we read Bible, Jesus Christ said: "Thou shall not kill." But they are, you are . . . everyone is killing. That's all. The first commandment is violated
- Maintenance cannot be taken by anyone except by God. Therefore this material world is being operated in three departmental qualities: sattva, raja, tama. Sattva is maintenance. Sattva means goodness. Goodness is maintenance

- Making discoveries means you do not know what is truth. But it is good credit for you that you are trying to advance. That's it. That we agree
- Male and female-two parts required, negative and positive. So the male part is Bhagavan, and the female part is the prakrti, and combination of purusa and prakrti is the varieties of creation. This is Sankhya philosophy
- Male, female, these two things. The supreme male is Krsna, and everyone, either this dull matter or the living entities, they are called female, prakrti. Prakrti means female, and purusa means male
- Mamaka, pandava. "My sons and my younger brother's sons, they assembled together for fighting." Yuyutsava. Yuyutsava means "with fighting spirit." And dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre, on the place known as Kuruksetra
- Man and animal, they have got common platform of these four principles of life: eating, sleeping, mating and defending. The only extra qualification of man is that he can come to understand what is Krsna and what is God. That is his special qualification
- Man is called purusa. Purusa means enjoyer. And the wife is called stri. Stri. Stri means woman, and stri means prakrti. Prakrti means which is enjoyed. The subject and the object
- Man is dangerous for both. I have given that: man is good, woman is good, when they come together - bad. Both of them bad
- Man is known by his company. - Your constant company is dog, so what you are? These are the way. Why they do not allow Europeans in the Jagannatha temple? Because they are untouchable
- Man wants that woman should be subordinate, faithful to him. Then he is ready to take charge. The man's mentality, woman's mentality different

- Many acaryas have commented on Bhagavad-gita - there is Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, even Sankaracarya - but never said that Bhagavad-gita is proof of nonviolence
- Many men do not go to the university & live peacefully. But that does not mean university is useless. Similarly, many men may not come to us, that does not mean this institution is useless. It has its importance for the serious men, not for the asses
- Many other sastras are there, but Bhagavad-gita is the beginning of spiritual life, A-B-C-D. So even if we do not learn the A-B-C-D of spiritual life, how our life will be successful in the mission?
- Many people gathered. They gave different advices: "Maharaja, you do this at the time of death," and "Do that," "Do this." So there were many big, big persons. He (Pariksit Maharaja) was perplexed
- Many sannyasi: brahma satyam jagan mithya, "Brahman is truth and the world is false." They take sannyasa, and after some time they come to the hospital opening business. They come down again to politics, hospitals, philanthropy, welfare work. Why?
- Many so-called sannyasis, they rise to the brahma-pada, aham brahmasmi, but because they cannot stay there, they come down again to this material world and they are busy for opening hospitals, schools and philanthropism
- Many thousands and millions of people will read (in the newspaper) "Krsna." Willing or unwillingly, they'll read "Krsna." That is their profit. Immediately, they once utter the word "Krsna," they become benefited

- Married man cannot be dishonest, because he has got responsibility. If he is arrested, he will be insulted in his family. His family members will be in difficulty. Therefore he does not commit dishonesty very easily
- Material advancement does not become hampered by spiritual knowledge. That is a wrong impression. Rather, if you become spiritually advanced, your material necessities will be very nicely adjusted
- Material calculation - this body we have got. When this body will be finished, it is finished forever. It will never come
- Material energy is there not by Krsna's own will. You want it, therefore there is. Is that clear?
- Material father is not material. Real father is Krsna. He may come in so many ways
- Material happiness means sense gratification. That's all. Actually, according to Bhagavad-gita... Not according to Bhagavad-gita - that is a fact according to any authoritative statement
- Material nature, gives us this opportunity to have this human form of life. The facility of this form of life, is given to us just to understand God
- Material world is complicated with the modes of material nature, so this is called guna. So anyone who is engaged constantly in devotional service, sa gunan samatityaitan (BG 14.26), he immediately transcends the influence of the material qualities
- Material world means the relative world. Relative world means the son. As soon as I say: "The son," there must be a father. As soon as I say "friend," there must be another man, friend
- Material world, there are different seasons. They come and go. Just like winter season, spring season, summer season, rainy season, they come and go. Similarly, these yugas rotate just like day and night. Now it is night, again the day will come
- Materialistic class of men are undoubtedly very, very intelligent, but their intelligence is being used wrongly. Duskrtinah mudhah. Mudhah means rascal, ass
- Materialistic persons, they are satisfied with temporary happiness, and those who are transcendentalist, they are also seeking happiness, that is real happiness, spiritual happiness, eternal happiness
- Materialistic scientists, they are studying the brain substance, but what is this brain substance? This is also matter. Brain substance actually do not work. That is something else. Within this body there is the proprietor of the body

- Mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya (BG 7.7). The truth is there. They do not know. Half-educated. This is very good, "Truth is the . . ." We also say, but they do not know what is that truth
- Maya is always after this checking process. So we have to fight against the maya, then we come to Krsna consciousness. That fighting determination must be there
- Maya is controlled by Krsna; Krsna is never controlled by maya. That is not very good theory. That is due to poor fund of knowledge. Krsna cannot be covered
- Maya is darkness, and Krsna is light. That is our motto in the Back to Godhead. "Godhead is light and darkness is nescience. Where there is God, there is no darkness." This is our position
- Maya is not degraded. Maya is faithful servant of Krsna. She is faithfully serving. That is stated in the Brahma-samhita. You should read
- Maya means the condition in which I enjoy material sense gratification. That is called maya. Maya japatiya dhare. Japatiya dhare means catches, catches - All right, come on
- Maya will place so many impediments. She does not like that so easily you go back to home, back to Godhead. That is maya's business. Daivi hy esa gunamayi (BG 7.14). Just like police

- Mayavada philosophy, that "At the present moment, I am under the control of maya, but as soon as I become free from the control of maya, then I become the Supreme," therefore they cannot answer - If you are Supreme, why you are under the clutches of maya
- Mayavadi theory is, "I am Krsna. I am God. Now I am overpowered by maya, & as soon as I become free from maya, again I become Krsna." But question is, - If you are Krsna or God, then why you became under the control of maya? What kind of God you are
- Mayavadi will say, "Then I am God. Because I am carrying the message of Krsna, therefore I am Krsna." No. Kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya. Not that he has become Prabhu, or God, but he is very dear servitor
- Mayavadi will think, "What is this? The God has become a cowherd boy? How it is? He must be very exalted. How it is that He is cowherd boy?" But he does not know the nature of the Lord. He's free. He loves everyone
- Mayavadi, at least they say that "There is Brahman. He is truth. But this phenomenal world is not truth. Manifestation of material energy, that is not true." So according to our philosophy, Vaisnava philosophy, we don't say that
- Mayayapahrta-jnana. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita. They are so-called educated, doctors, but actually they have no knowledge. Simply they are bluffing, cheating. Where is the question of creation
- Mean on the basic principle, the ahimsa paramo dharma, where is ahimsa? You have to kill. Either you kill vegetable or animal, you have to kill. Then where is the standing of ahimsa? That is my point
- Medical practitioners, they know it that heart is always pumping like this. Pumping like this. Now, can you produce heart action by artificial pumping? No. It is not possible

- Milk is harmful? How it is harmful? If it is harmful, why you are giving milk to the child?
- Milk means cow's milk, because you'll find in this book that krsi-go-raksya. Go means cow. Cow protection, cow's milk, is important, not other animal's milk
- Millions of moons together, they cannot be so peaceful and cool as the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. These examples are given in the sastra

- Mind cannot be vacant. We must think of something in the mind. Not for a second we can make our mind vacant. That is not possible
- Mind is also material, and intelligence is also material, and the false ego, that "I am this material body," that is also material. Above this, the soul, the spirit, that is spiritual
- Mind is also material, intelligence is also material, but they are subtle forms. And spiritual existence is the living entity, as we are. These things are very nicely explained in the Bhagavad-gita
- Mind is going out of my control. I want to think of Krsna, but mind is thinking something else. This is called yoga practice
- Mind is never unconscious. Mind is not for a single moment unconscious. When you sleep, when your bodily limbs are silent, mind works. Therefore you dream
- Mind is the master of the senses, or the chief man, just like superintendent. Mind is dictating the senses
- Minimum quantity, sixteen rounds chant, and that will take not more than two hours. And other twenty-two hours, you be always busy in Krsna's activities. That is required
- Mirror, when it is dusty, you cannot see your face nicely, similarly, when our heart is contaminated with the material infection, we cannot understand our real position. But if we chant this Hare Krsna mantra, then it will be possible to understand
- Mistakes there may be, but that should be rectified. In this way one has to elevate to the higher standard of spiritual value. That is the success of human life, not to become like cats and dogs
- Mleccha means unclean. One who does not follow Vedic principles, he's called mleccha. Just like . . . as the Muhammadans say, kafir
- Modern age, the people are not very intelligent. They are advertising themselves that they are very much advanced. Actually, they are fools
- Modern material scientists, they are discovering so many things simply for the comforts of this body, not for any spiritual advancement. Therefore asat
- Modern medical science cut the abdomen and cut the part and clear it (stool), and again stitch it. That is appendicitis, so far I know - I am not medical man. There are so many diseases that is due to this non clearance of the intestines. You see?
- Moon is only small. Actually smaller than the earth. So you can go on speculating, but so far we are concerned - it is coming from sastra - moon planet is one of the heavenly planets. The residents of that planet, they're all demigods
- Moon planet is also one of the upper planetary system. But you cannot go by sputnik. That is not possible. It is all foolishness
- More work; more use your intelligence. Pranair arthair dhiya vaca: with life, with money, with intelligence, with words to serve Krsna. Etavaj janma-sa-phala tvam. This is the perfection of life
- Most of our preperation are made from milk products. Therefore we are so much fond of cow protection. It gives the basic principle of palatable foodstuff. But these people, they do not know
- Most of you, you are Buddhists. There are similarly Muhammadan scriptures, Christian scriptures. But in each & every scripture there is rules & regulation to follow to become more & more aware of the topmost principle, the original cause of all causes

- Mostly we get our income by selling these books. We are selling books daily about $200,000 daily. That is our main source of income
- Mother loves child. It is not like the maidservant who is paid. Mother loves spontaneously child, as duty. She loves to serve the child. Similarly, our love of God will be spontaneous, without any motive, and without being impeded
- Mother Yasoda was chanting some mantras to protect Krsna, that "He may not be put into some calamity." They never understood that Krsna is the Supreme Personality. But their natural love for Krsna so intense

- Mudha means rascal. And they will set aside the thing, "Yes, scientifically we are searching. In future we shall be able." And when that future will come? Past, present and future, the future will become past also
- Mukti does not mean that I have got now one head, I will get four heads. No. This one head is sufficient, but it must be engaged for Krsna. That is it
- Mukti is not very wonderful thing. It is difference of consciousness. Everyone is conscious materially: "I am this body," "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am this," - I am that
- Mukti means liberation from the contaminated consciousness of this material world and to become situated in pure consciousness. And the whole instruction, instruction of Bhagavad-gita, is targeted to awaken that pure consciousness
- Mukti means svarupena vyavasthitih (SB 2.10.6), to be situated in one's original, constitutional position. That is Krsna consciousness

- Mundaka Upanisad and Svetasvatara Upanisad, they are Vedas. There is statement that two birds are sitting on the same tree. The body is compared with the tree
- Murti is made according to his mentality. The nature's work is so perfect, as you say, "The face is the index of mind." You can understand one's mind from the face. The murti is made like that
- Murti means form. So there are 400,000 different forms of human being. So either you take it as species or form, that is up to you, but in the sastra it is said murti
- Mut son, he says, because he's less than mut. Because mut, I pass urine. The obnoxious thing, that is gone away. But it is present. (laughter) The bad smell is constantly giving me trouble. Mut-karma's there. So these are very instructive

- My dear Aravindaksa, lotus-eyed Krsna. - Ye 'nye 'ravindaksa. "The persons who are thinking that they have become liberated, now they have become Narayana." They are thinking like that. Maninah means falsely thinking
- My dear Arjuna, the reason, the mission, for which I appear is now explained, that I come here to establish the real constitutional position of the living entities. That is My mission
- My dear Krsna, what is that power which forces us to commit sinful activities? I do not like. - Just like the vivid example: a thief. A thief knows that if he commits theft he will be punished by the state law
- My dear Lord, I have served the senses in so many ways, even though abominable. But I find still they are not satisfied, and neither the senses are very kind to me. Because I have served so faithfully, still they are dictating and I am doing
- My dear Lord, these common people, my neighbors, because I am minister, and I'm supposed to be educated, I know little Sanskrit, Arabian language, they call me pandita, learned man, very scholar and versed. I, to tell You frankly, I do not know what I am
- My dear mind, you are working so hard. - In severe cold you are going to work. In scorching heat you are going to work. Torrents of rain, you cannot stop your work
- My dear Partha, you wanted to see with whom you have to fight. Now here is Bhisma, Drona & many other kings, all the descendants of Kuru dynasty, your Dhrtarastra's sons. Now you see very nicely & be prepared to fight with them
- My dear the best of the demons. - "I think that is very nice." What is that? - This worldly life, materialistic life, is self-killing just like a dark well. So one should give it up & go to the forest & take shelter of Krsna. That is the best way of life
- My dear Vyasadeva, you have compiled a great literature, Mahabharata. And in that Mahabharata you have introduced everything that is knowable for understanding
- My experiment with truth - Gandhi's movement. Truth is truth. "Experiment" means you do not know what is truth. It is a way of life. Everything is stated there, try to train them. Simple thing
- My father's eldest brother, he inquired, "Is your mother dead?" I consider like that. No, no . . . "So I am also dead." He died later on

- My Godbrother saw the Marquis of Zetland, he inquired that, "Swamiji, can you make me a brahmin?" He said: "Why not? We can make you brahmin." - So what is to be done?

- My Guru Maharaja used to say that it is better to become a sweeper and honestly earn one's livelihood than to become a false Bhagavata reader for earning livelihood. Yes. Because they'll mislead the whole public
- My Guru Maharaja used to say that there is no scarcity of anything within the world, the only scarcity is Krsna consciousness. Therefore this movement, spreading Krsna consciousness, is the highest welfare activity to the human society
- My Guru Maharaja used to say, "If I could make one person to be Krsna conscious, then my mission will be successful." It is not for mass conversion. Only the fortunate, they can do
- My Guru Maharaja, sadhu, a saintly person, immediately passes: "Yes. It is all right." It is all right. Because there is glorification of the Lord. Of course, general public will not understand. But this is the standard, standard version, spoken by Narada
- My idea is that Vedic knowledge is complete because it is above all doubts and all mistakes. And Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge
- My inefficiency of my eyes, I see that beyond this wall I cannot see. I say, "Oh, there is nothing beyond this wall." That is my lack of education. Not that there is nothing beyond this wall
- My intention was to start this movement. I was simply planning in different way. Therefore Krsna's favor
- My joyfulness is covered by this material understanding. So I have to remove this material understanding; then again I shall become joyful
- My magnitude is very, very small. That is also given in the sastra: kesagra-sata-bhagasya satadha kalpitasya, one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. That is my magnitude
- My manager supplied morphia preparation to an unlicensed doctor, medical practitioner. In India there are many so-called medical practitioners. They are compounders, and after . . . because there is scarcity of medical man
- My only prayer was that, "I don't care for this land (in Bombay), but You are seated there, I cannot tolerate this insult that You will be removed from there." So Krsna saved our face. He's still remaining there
- My only qualification was . . . When I was introduced to my Guru Maharaja for initiation, so Guru Maharaja immediately said, "Yes, I shall initiate this boy. He is very nice. He hears me very patiently. He does not go away." So that was my qualification
- My only request is that - you are all learned boys and girls - try to understand this philosophy and science, and you will be happy. That is my request
- My opinion is already there according to the . . . they should be chaste, faithful to husband. Little literary knowledge, they can read. That's all. Not very much
- My request is that I am working now with my American disciples and European disciples. Why not Indians? I think in this meeting there are many young men, educated, learned scholars. Join this movement
- My senses are always dictating me, "Oh, you take this. You enjoy this. You do that. You do that." And I am being driven by. We are all servants of the senses
- My students, they have painted so many pictures, so I have given simply the hints that "This picture should be like this." So they take note and make the picture, and people very much appreciate our picture
N
- Na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). This is the authoritative statement, that I am not annihilated on account of my body being annihilated
- Na te vidhuh svartha-gatim hi visnum. Practically, the so-called civilized men at the present moment, they do not know what is the actual goal of life
- Naimisaranya is a place in India still existing.This place is situated near Lucknow in the northern India provinces, a very nice place, sanctified place. Still people go and find peace for spiritual meditation
- Naimisaranya meeting going on, all the big, big learned brahmanas, sages, they are talking how to do welfare activities to the human society
- Namanta eva: "Just become namra, humble, humble and meek." Lord Jesus Christ also said - The kingdom of God is for the humble and meek
- Narada is advising Vyasadeva; Vyasadeva is advising his disciple Madhvacarya; he is advising his disciple. This is Vaisnavism. They are not concerned for personal self
- Narada Muni advises that, "Induce everyone to be engaged in Krsna consciousness. Even if he falls down, there is no loss." This is the principle. If he becomes successful, oh, the greatest boon. That greatest boon is described in BG, highest perfection
- Narada, he's also saktyavesa avatara. In his previous life, he was a maidservant's son, but by the association of devotees, he rose up to this position, Narada
- Narayana is being worshiped by many thousands of goddess of fortune, sambhrama, with great fear. Just like Rukmini-devi. She is Laksmi-devi, and she was always afraid of Krsna that, - He may not leave me away
- Narayana is beyond this created, manifested cosmic manifestation, similarly Vedas also are like that. Don't think it is written by . . . It is called therefore apauruseya. Apauruseya means it is not written by any mundane creature
- Narayana may order, "Go to hell and preach." "Yes." Tulyartha. - Then if You send me in heaven or hell, I don't mind
- Narayana-parah, they are not anxious either to go to Svargaloka or to refrain from it. They are satisfied: "Wherever Krsna keeps me, that is all right. Never mind whether it is heaven or hell." Because he has got Krsna within him
- Narottama dasa Thakura advises us that, - You firmly catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda
- Narottama dasa Thakura confirms that "The lotus feet of Nityananda is not illusion; it is transcendental fact, satya." - And anyone who is engaged in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda, he is also transcendental
- Narottama dasa Thakura has described this Hare Krsna mantra, "not of this material sky." Golokera prema-dhana, hari-nama-sankirtana. Hari-nama-sankirtana, this is not a material sound
- Narottama dasa Thakura said this sound vibration is not this material sound. Krsna is not material sound. It is Krsna, spiritual
- Narottama dasa Thakura says that one who has actually received the causeless mercy of Nityananda, he has no more any material desire. That is the symptom. Samsara-vasana means desire for material enjoyment, when it will become very insignificant
- Narottama dasa Thakura says that this holy name of Krsna is imported from Goloka Vrndavana. It is not material sound. Golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. It is not ordinary sound. Don't take it as ordinary. That is naraki-buddhi
- Narottama dasa Thakura's songs are very appropriate just to the conclusion of Vedic injunctions. So he sings this song (Gauranga Bolite Habe), how one can rise up to transcendental plane for associating directly with Radha & Krsna, what is that process
- Nastatmanah: they have lost their spiritual ideas, spiritual sense, or Krsna consciousness. The highest principle of spiritual sense means Krsna consciousness, to understand God. That is mahatma
- National - means those who are born in that particular land. So there are animals also. They are also national. But because they are imperfect, either the Communist or capitalist, they do not accept the animals as nationals
- Nationalism, socialism, this "ism," that "ism" - but the action of the dog and hog and the human society, so-called civilized, the point is the same
- Natural love is between the husband and wife, but the wife goes somewhere and the husband goes somewhere else. Why? The basic principle is enjoyment
- Natural tendency is that not to work. Therefore as soon as one man gets some money, he wants to live peacefully in a country place, a nice bungalow, without any working, without any turmoil
- Naturally, here in this material world, every one of us, we have come to enjoy. Material life means enjoyment. Enjoyment is not real enjoyment. Real enjoyment is spiritual enjoyment
- Naturally, if he comes to the temple, he'll offer some obeisances, he'll offer some flower, some fruit, mad-yaji. Even a child will offer namaskara. In this way he becomes devotee. And then he understands
- Nature has given this opportunity whether you want to go the sat-patha or asat-patha; whether you are again wish to go to the cycle of evolution or if you want to make further progress
- Nature has given us the opportunity now to enquire about the Absolute Truth. And what is that Absolute Truth? Because this is our only enquiry, that - What is the Absolute Truth, or the origin of everything
- Nature has not given me the right to remain as American, Australian, Indian. No. That is not possible. You wanted. You enjoyed this life for a certain time, and then again you create your desire
- Nature is always troubling you, either by excessive heat or either by excessive cold or by some by natural disturbance - some earthquake, some famine, some pestilence; then there are bodily disturbances, disease, mental disturbances
- Nature means God's nature, God's energy. God's energy is so fine and so subtle that we cannot see it, how it is working, but this is working. The energy of God is working there
- Nature will not allow to the demons to flourish. No. That is not allowed. Tan aham dvisatah kruran ksipamy ajasram andha-yonisu (BG 16.19). The demons are always liable to be punished
- Nature's law is very, very strict. This life it is given, a chance. Nature gives a chance. Now you get this human form of life, advanced consciousness. Now you make further improvement. That is wanted
- Neither God is nirakara, nor you are nirakara. We have got akara. The akara is also mentioned in the sastra. What is that? One ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair
- Neither I want very nice, beautiful, obedient wife. - Then what You want? - Life after life, let me remain a faithful servant of Your Lordship
- Neither in their principles there is service of God, there is dedication to God. Simply official in the so-called religion. Therefore Vrndavana dasa Thakura said, "These are all cheating religions
- Neither it is radio message or football club or so many things. No. It is meant for the common class of men. Srotavyadini rajendra nrnam (SB 2.1.2). Nrnam means common people
- Neither the people know that there is reincarnation, or transmigration of the soul after death. They do not know. So basically they are brainless. So they cannot give guidance, and therefore the whole society is in chaotic condition
- Neither we should be careless to take care of Krsna's property, Krsna's living being, Krsna's house, Krsna's temple, Krsna's business, everything Krsna's. If we think like that, then that is perfect Krsna consciousness
- 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
- Never consider that the Deity is made of stone or brass or wood or like that. Brass, wood, stone - everything is Krsna, because everything is Krsna's energy
- Never mind either you follow Muhammad, either you follow Jesus Christ or Krsna. Of course, Krsna is the Supreme Lord, and Jesus Christ is represented as the son of God, and Muhammad presented himself as servant of God. So there is no difference
- Never mind he is M.A., Ph.D., D.A.C. or whatever he may be. But we take him first-class rascal, that's all, because he has not surrendered to Krsna. This is the test
- Never mind we have accepted this material body. We can get out of it. And the process for getting out of it is Krsna consciousness. This is the science
- Never mind what is the news. Oh, we don't care for that. But because they will utter the word "Krsna," that is our profit. That is our profit for Krsna consciousness movement
- Never mind. Let them (children) be trained up as Krsna conscious, live comfortably, take milk. So which is better civilization? Running with motorcar, put-put-put-put-put-put-put-put and killing child? Is that civilization
- Never think of the arca-murti as wood or stone - never think of the spiritual master as ordinary human being - never think of a Vaisnava as belonging to a certain caste or nation
- New York, I am coming here since 1965. I have got my temple. So I am going to London. So it is for the time being transit stoppage. Otherwise, I have got my temple here
- News has been published in this morning, many papers, "The leader of the Krsna movement," or "Hare Krsna movement." There is some vibration of the word "Krsna." That makes the atmosphere purified, surcharged
- Next class (of men) is trying to be successful by material opulence, by earning money, the mercantile community. They are third class
- Next class: busy intelligent. Intelligence should be used very soberly. And the third class: lazy fool - lazy, at the same time, fool. And the fourth class: busy fool. Busy fool is very dangerous
- Next time he may be getting chance. Because he (Dr. Radhakrishnan) was at heart afraid of God. Because sometimes he was, "Swamiji, you pray for me to God." Yes. He told me that
- Nidesah is all right, but durni desah. So we are doing this life after life, dictated by the senses, which we should not have done. But we have done it
- Ninety-nine point nine percent, they do not understand this philosophy (we are put in different dresses), especially in the modern age. Mandah sumanda-matayo (SB 1.1.10). They are very, very dull rascals. This is the challenge
- Nitai has become over intelligent. "Please bless me I may find out a bona fide guru." He has written me
- Nitya means eternally; ananda means happy. So Nityananda has no unhappiness. But He was passing on the street, there was a crowd, and Nityananda Prabhu inquired, - Why there is so much crowd?
- Nitya-siddha means they never fall a victim of maya. Even though they are within this material world, they are never victimized. That is called nitya-siddha. And one who is victimized, he is called nitya-baddha
- Nityananda Prabhu considered Caitanya Mahaprabhu as His master. So - My master's name will be famous, because the master's propaganda is 'Chant Hare Krsna,' so if I can induce these two brothers to chant Hare Krsna, they will be saved. So why not try?
- Nityananda Prabhu considered, "So these two brothers (Jagai & Madhai) are so fallen? So why not deliver them first?" This is Nityananda Prabhu
- Nivrtti-marga means stopping the material way of life and go to the spiritual world, back to home, back to Godhead
- Niyamagraha means not accepting the rules and regulation. Another meaning of niyamagraha means simply blindly following the rules and regulation, but he does not know for what he is doing that
- No argument that "Such stool is impure. Even my spiritual master's stool is also impure. How is that that animal cow dung is pure?" But because it is in the Vedas it is said pure, you have to accept
- No good man will say like that (You must have intoxication, take illicit sex life). That is the difference between good man and bad man
- No planets in the material universe is free from the four principles of material existence
- No responsible man will take that responsibility that, "I will kill this animal. Again he'll become a man and he'll kill me. No, no. Stop this business." So this is the process of restriction
- No scientific professor at the present moment can explain what is that thing missing, when this thing is missing, this body is called dead. What is the distinction of this dead body and the living body?
- No, even physical. You cannot go out without government consent. And they don't allow, especially young men. They do not allow to go out of the country
- No, no, he (father) is gone. - "But did you see how he has gone? Have you got the eyes, how he has gone? But you don't see. You always saw this material body, flesh." So as the spirit soul is not flesh, but you can understand that spirit soul has gone
- No, no. That is not the standard, that you do not like somebody, therefore he is not liked by others. That is not very good argument. That is applicable everywhere
- No, you cannot create God. God is one, already there
- Nobody becomes truthful to the enemy; he does not disclose the secret. But a brahmin is supposed to be so much truthful that if the enemy asks that "What is your position?" he will say, - This is my position
- Nobody believes Krsna is God. Even big, big leaders, what to speak of ordinary men. Especially the so-called educated men. - Bring money anyhow and enjoy life
- Nobody can be self-made anything. A medical practitioner, he cannot become self-made, that "I have studied all the medical books in my home." No
- Nobody can become a medical practitioner simply by purchasing book from the market and reading at home. That is not possible
- Nobody can become spiritual master if he has no knowledge. If he's a speculator, he cannot become a spiritual master
- Nobody can claim. "I am the wisest man," nobody can claim, "I am the strongest man," that is also, nobody can claim. However one strong may be, he is under the rules and regulation of material nature. He cannot go beyond that
- Nobody can manufacture a police department and force you to obey. Because it is one of the important department of government, therefore as soon as there is police hands up, you have to stop
- Nobody can understand Bhagavad-gita unless he is a devotee of Lord Krsna. That is the first qualification. It is clearly said here (in BG 04.01). You cannot go beyond Bhagavad-gita
- Nobody cares to understand that the soul is eternal. It is changing, transmigrating from one type of body to another body. And there are 8,400,000 species or types of body, and we have been entrapped in this cycle of birth, death, old age and disease
- Nobody goes to a medical man to ask him, "Are you brahmana? Are you ksatriya? Are you sudra?" There is no such question. You see what he is by his quality, and by his work you know that he is a medical man
- Nobody goes to live for hundred years - say, seventy, eighty, sixty or something like that. Gradually it is reducing, and it will reduce twenty to thirty years
- Nobody goes to set fire in the forest, but it takes place. Similarly, this material world is also like that. Nobody wants, but still, miserable condition of life come in. Just like in Calcutta, nobody wanted the Naxalite disturbance, but it has come
- Nobody goes to set fire in the forest, but it takes places automatically. Similarly, in this material world, however peacefully you want to live, without God consciousness you cannot live peacefully. It is not possible. Forget it
- Nobody has gone. They have gone to the nearest planet, they say. I do not know whether they have gone at all
- Nobody has to go to university to learn how to eat, how to sleep, how to have sex life, how to defend. Nobody hasn't got to. It doesn't require education. It is already there. If you attack me, I shall immediately defend with my hand. You see? Natural
- Nobody is accepting that method (God is there, I am subordinate and I must surrender). But if one accepts, that method will be a business of one minute. It is not difficult
- Nobody is accustomed in that way (live underneath a tree), such severe type of austerity. They must be given, as far as possible, comfortable accommodation; otherwise they will not come. This is the adjustment. The acarya knows how to adjust things
- Nobody is being guided by Jesus Christ. They're falsely claiming. It is very hard to find out a man who is actually being guided by Jesus Christ
- Nobody is dying out of starvation, nobody, not even an animal, not even a bird dying of starvation, not a beast. God is supplying everyone's food. Eko bahunam vidadhati kaman (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13). He is supplying food to the elephant
- Nobody is educated, neither interested in the spiritual life. But unless you take interest in spiritual life, our this material condition of miserable life will continue
- Nobody is fortunate in this age. They do not know what is fortunate life. And over all of this, everyone is disturbed. This is our position
- Nobody is master here, but when we falsely claim that, "I am master," that is maya. Everyone is serving, but under the impression that he is master
- Nobody is serious to understand what is God and how to love Him. Nobody is serious. Therefore in Bhagavatam, it is said, it is cheating religion
- Nobody knows that God can be person, there can be dealings like this, there are dealings actually, and they are described (in our books). That is wonderful
- Nobody learns to smoke from the beginning of life, but the child requires to eat something. That's a fact. But it doesn't require to smoke. So these are artificial things. So we have to minimize the non-necessary things
- Nobody says that, "This (Hare Krsna) is a word from India. Why shall I chant the Indian name?" No. It is God's name. God is neither Indian nor American nor otherwise, neither Christian nor Hindu nor Muslim. God is God
- Nobody should give his own opinion. He must quote the authoritative statement to support his proposition
- Nobody wanted war, but there was Second World War. Again. And again they are trying to, the League . . . what is that? United Nations. But the war is going on. The Vietnam War is going on, the Pakistan War is going on, and many others are going on
- Nobody wants to become old, everyone wants to remain young and fresh, but old age overcomes. Similarly, disease. There are scientific advancement of knowledge, you have got very effective medicines, but there is no science to stop disease or to stop death
- Nobody wants to die, but death is sure. We must die. Nobody wants to take birth, but there is birth. Now there are so many contraceptive methods for checking birth. But still, the population of the whole world is increasing
- Nobody wants to die, but death is there. They are trying to stop increase of population, birth but the birth is there. And the medical science is giving us good medicine but they cannot stop disease, neither death. These are the problems
- Nobody wants to die, but there is forcefully: you must die. That is imperfection. But these rascals, they do not know
- Nobody wants to die, to change this body also, but that is being forced. But they do not take it as problem. How nonsense they are
- Nobody wants to take birth, but he is forced to take birth. Nobody wants to become old man, but he becomes old man. And nobody wants to become diseased, but he is forced to take some disease. This is our condition
- Non-Aryan means not civilized, and Aryan means civilized. This is the distinction. Now people are very much fond of calling themselves as civilized, Aryan, belonging to the Aryan family. Where is the Aryan civilization
- Not a single paisa for personal use. Everything is utilized for propagating God consciousness. So in this way everything can be utilized. After all, it is God's property
- Not as a policeman but as a friend, He (Krsna) is recording that, - You want to do it? All right, I'll give you this facility
- Not blind faith. Perfect man is perfect. Unless you understand that he is perfect, don't hear from him. That is blind. Without knowing that he is perfect, if you hear, that is your imperfectness
- Not for money's sake, not for reputation sake, labha-puja-pratistha. Only for serving Krsna. Anukulyena krsnanu-silanam (CC Madhya 19.167). This is pure Vaisnavism. One has to satisfy Krsna. Not for any other purpose
- Not in this country (New Zealand), everywhere, that boys and girls are not checked, rather encouraged, encouraged in the matter of immature sex life. Preyas. They want it, "All right, do it. Take tablets and enjoy." This is dangerous
- Not like the rascals - we interpret. No. No interpretation. The rascals, they interpret. He (Professor Dimmock) is a rascal, as if Krsna left Bhagavad-gita for this rascal's interpretation. How much rascaldom it is
- Not like to dance like cats and dogs with a nice dress. That is not human life. This is the subject matter of Bhagavad-gita, our whole Vedic instruction
- Not necessarily in every case the boy is rich man or educated. If he's healthy and if he can work, he'll take charge. Then fortune, faith
- Not only He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) was a very learned scholar. . . He was young man, twenty, twenty-two years, but He was so popular that He could call 100,000 people at once to start this civil disobedience, His social position
- Not only he (Nehru). Later on, all the so-called educated persons, they took it for granted that "Whatever is done in London, that is first class, and whatever is Indian original, that is all bad." And they controlled the native princes. So many things
- Not only in Vrndavana; we have seen wherever we held that Hare Krsna festival, thousands of men were coming, even the so-called educated
- Not only it (Krsna Consciousness) is authoritative; it is accepted by millions and thousands. At least in India there are many. And in the Western countries also, they are also accepting because it is scientific. They are not fools and rascals
- Not only one child. We have got hundreds of children in Dallas, they are being trained up. They are being trained up. They are becoming godly from the very beginning of life
- Not only simply reading, but when he realizes what is Brahman, then he is brahmana. Not easy, the stages. This Brahman is impersonal Brahman, and still, you have to go above
- Not only spot, this one planet, but there are millions of planets. They are floating in the sky like swabs of cotton
- Not only this earthly planet, but there are millions and trillions of planets within the sky moving. Seasonal changes, day and night, everything is going on. This is perfection. So those who are in divine nature, they can understand all these things
- Not only you, but the animals, the trees, the plants, the insects, the serpent, the aquatics, the fish - everyone the son of Krsna. This is daivi sampat
- Not that a particular man is spiritual master. Spiritual master is a truth. So what is that truth? The truth is samsara-davanala-lidha-loka-tranaya karunya-ghanaghanatvam
- Not that anyone can become acarya. He must give explanation of the Vedanta-sutra, prasthana-traya. There is system
- Not that anyone will come: "I am a sadhu." No. We must know by the characteristic of sadhu. That has been described
- Not that artificially I have taken the dress of a sannyasi and talking nonsense. He is not sannyasi. Sannyasi means one who has completely devoted his life for Krsna
- Not that because He (Krsna) will give me something more than expectation I am giving service. That mentality is not good
- Not that because he is born in that dog-eater's family he cannot become a brahmin. No. This is not the Vedic injunction
- Not that because it is impossible to become truthful, therefore truthfulness should be rejected altogether. No. One section must be there. That is the qualification of a brahmana
- Not that becoming religious I become richer, I become . . . I get so many material benefits. No. That is not
- Not that he is a child - he has to grow an old man like me, then he will dance. No. Immediately. So Krsna consciousness is so perfect that immediately you become on the transcendental platform. You are not contaminated by these material laws
- Not that I am simply controller, but I am controlled by higher authority. So therefore I am not supreme controller
- Not that I have to study Krsna in my own way. Krsna is not subjected to your examination or your test. He is above all. He is transcendental. Therefore those who have not the transcendental vision, they misunderstand Krsna
- Not that simply woman is for enjoyment. Any palatable foodstuff which attracts my tongue, that is also
- Not that the chief executive or the government simply levies taxes from the citizens and let them go to hell. This is not good government
- Not that the man was not healthy. He has fallen diseased. You understand? When I say to become healthy, does not mean that he was not healthy
- Not that to make a guru as a fashion. No. Don't keep a order-supplying guru. No. Just like if somebody keeps a dog, and the master orders him, "Do this," and he does, fashion. No. It is not fashion
- Not that we are simply sentimentalists, simply dancing. Dancing is not sentimental; it is spiritual ecstasy. It is not ordinary dancing. This dancing is not ordinary dancing
- Not these camara, bhangis and sudras voted and become the president and minister. That will not be successful. That is not possible. There must be trained-up ksatriyas, then there will be good government
- Not to falsely think that I am American, I am Indian, I am cat, I am dog. That has to be finished. But you'll come to the real egoism, that I am eternal servant of Krsna
- Nothing belongs to us. There is no question of morality unless one surrenders to Krsna. Everything immoral for a person who is not Krsna conscious. Everything immoral
- Nothing is difficult. For the time being it (spreading KC) is difficult, but in due course of time it will be very easy. Now who knew that in Europe and America or all over the world, Hare Krsna will go on?
- Nothing should be accepted which is not recognized. You see? So this (harer nama eva kevalam) is recognized method. Now it depends on us. Let us follow this process and see how we are making progress in the spiritual path
- Nothing you can manufacture, even in the body. You are medical practitioner. Hundreds of men you see, different types of body. Is it not? You cannot say that - This is the standard
- Now all of you, or all of us, we are working. Nobody can say that "I am not working" or "I am independent." Everyone is working. But they are working for their sense gratification
- Now by force they think, "No, although I am carpenter I am brahmin." This has spoiled the Vedic civilization
- Now by your talent you are producing nice food, but tilling the ground some way or other, by machine or there must be rain, so many conditions. But time will come when there will be no rain
- Now everyone is claiming, "I am God," but they do not know what is God. They are falsely claiming. But if you find out Parasara-sutra, there is definition of God
- Now everyone is having atomic weapon, just like India has now got. That means by nature's course, they are preparing for war, and "I put my atomic bomb on your head, and you put on my head. You die; I die." That's all
- Now He (Krsna) is in Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrndavana. We cannot calculate where He is. How He's taking? This is material calculation
- Now I am engaged in Krsna's service. Krsna actually He'll be merciful upon me. He'll deliver me from this miserable condition of material life
- Now I am surrendering to Krsna, but for my defense I'm making another arrangement. - Then I have no faith in Krsna
- Now I am very powerful, very happy. Let me love dog instead of God - that means you are preparing your next life as dog. It is stated in the BG that at the time of death the mentality you have created throughout the life, that will carry you to other body
- Now I have confessed, now I begin new chapter of sinful life. Again I shall confess. - Krsna is not so fool that you can cheat Him by this process. No, that is not possible
- Now I have got all degrees, and unless I get a good master, then I am street dog. - That is sudra. Just like a street dog has no value unless he gets a good master
- Now I will eat two pieces of bread at night, and my wife will kick on my face." (laughter) Just see the ass. Therefore how Bhagavata has selected the specific animals, how they are suffering, very instructive
- Now in this condition of life (disturbance of war, famine, earthqauake, overflood with no bare necessities of life), how you can take up very serious type of self-realization, it is not possible
- Now it is days of democracy; there is no trained administrators. Anyone from the third-class, fourth-class grade of society, if somehow or other he gets some vote, he comes to the power. But that should not be there. Everyone should be educated
- Now it is winter season. We are covering our body. In the summer season we do not like so heavily dressed. So this feeling of pains and pleasure is due to this material body
- Now people are coming to me, so I can become acarya. - That is avamanya. Navamanyeta karhicit. Don't transgress this etiquette. Navamanyeta. That will be falldown
- Now people has to know it (the best thing we are presenting). How to make it known? We have to go to the newspaper man, magazine man, to the Foundations. So one responsible . . . one? Why one? Two, three men must move amongst them
- Now people, the nose-presser and eyes-presser, they are no more important. Is it not? Eh? Now our men go and challenge these rascals. And in New York they did it, huh? And they are afraid of our troops
- Now Ramakrishna mission will understand that we are their enemy. It will be good propaganda for all this nonsense
- Now read Bhagavad-gita very carefully, we will have examination next time. From Bhagavad-gita start our Bhakti Shastri
- Now the problem is the mother doesn't want children. You see? And to avoid children, they are killing. Regularly they are killing. So what is the use of this civilization?
- Now there is a great dangerous fight, why you (Arjuna) are saying like a nonsense, - anarya-justam, - like non-Aryan
- Now they (Presidency College and Scottish Church College) are ruined due to this Naxalite movement
- Now they are apprehending the appearance of a comet. So Krsna will appear just like a comet. Dhumaketum iva, Kalau ati karavalam. So that is the end of Kali-yuga, that people will be so mlecchacara, unclean habits
- Now they are coming to the dog's life. A dog, just like street, they have sex life. "This is advancement, that we have become now pure dog. So long it was hidden, now we are open." This is the civilization, animal civilization
- Now they are plundering, by official instrument. Now when the government will be finished, they will be street dog. That's all. This is their civilization
- Now they were to fight, face to face. Now he is not prepared to fight. That means he has become miserly, means he is deviating from his duty
- Now this human form of body, which is above the lower grades of forms. - There are 8,400,000 forms of body. The soul is transmigrating, evolution. But when we get this human form of body, our main business is to inquire about God
- Now this Macmillan's report is that ours (Bhagavad-gita) selling more. Therefore, they have advanced to take up this enlarged edition. Otherwise, they are business
- Now we are being dictated by the senses, 'You do this," we do that. So our master is the senses, and the senses are six kinds of senses: Kama, kamadina, lusty desires; lobha, greediness; and mohah, illusion; kama, krodha, anger
- Now we are living in the Bhurloka, middle. Then above this, there is Bhuvarloka. Above this, there is Svarloka. Above this is Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Brahmaloka
- Now we are seeing they are living up to seventy years, eighty years, or even sometimes ninety years, but gradually it will reduce to such an extent that if a man lives for twenty to thirty years, he will be considered as a very old man. You see?
- Now we are working under the designation of this body. Everyone is working under this designation of this body. When we become above the designation of the body, that is our real, constitutional position
- Now we shall create female as God. - What power you have got? God is already God. You cannot create God a female or dog. You can create anything by mental speculation but that is not a fact
- Now you are advanced in laboratory analyzing. Take this breathing, blood, skin, bone. So many things are there, ingredients. Analyze each one of them. Would you find life? Common sense, that this is not life. Life is beyond this, beyond this material
- Now you are conditioned by the matter; therefore that is not being perfected. But when you are also in pure spiritual life, you can do like that, like God. Immediately, whatever you want, you can do. Immediately, wherever you want to go, you can go
- Now you are scientist, and then next life you may be different. You may have a different body. Where is that science?
- Now you can make your choice. You are now civilized, very advanced intelligence. Now whether you want to go to the cycle of evolution again or whether you want to stop this and go to your original position
- Now you chant, you dance and take prasadam. There is no question of becoming a very highly learned person, very expert in philosophy, and so on, so on, big, big words. But that will not help you
- Now you discuss this point, that why we have come to this material world, what is the purpose. These things are mentioned in the Vedas
- Now you have got another body. A few years after, you will get another body. So you are accepting bodies one after another. That's a fact
- Now you have got food in chaos, but there will be no food also. Then the mother and father will eat his own children. This is world, this Kali-yuga, everything. No food will be produced
- Now you have got this body. This is temporary. That's the real understanding. And if I say it is mithya, then if I kill you, then why I am punished? I can say, "Oh, it is mithya, it is false. So what is their fault?" No. It is not mithya. It is temporary
- Now, still, in your country (America) you are not poverty-stricken. You have got enough food. These things also will be stopped
- Now, we have seen so many sannyasis, so-called sannyasis, talking on Vedanta and smoking at the same time. You see? So Ajamila was not like that. He was a scholar in the Vedic literature
- Nowadays it has become a cheap business, to see so many Gods. But you test this, whether he is controlled by anyone. If he is controlled by somebody, then he is not God
- Nowadays it has become a fashion that so many "Bhagavans" or "Gods" are coming. But there is definition, there is test, who will be accepted as Bhagavan
- Nowadays it is very easy to understand. In the aeroplane the pilot is simply pushing on button, and such a huge machine, just like a small city, it is flying in the sky, and the wings are working, the machine is working
- Nowadays Naxalites are coming. It is the time, Kali-yuga
- Nowadays no one is living up to a hundred years, because as the days are going on, people are becoming sinful, and their duration of life also becoming reduced
- Nowadays nobody lives for one hundred years - utmost eighty years or ninety years, very rarely. My grandmother lived for ninety-six years. My father lived for eighty-four years. I do not know how long I shall live, but still I am living
- Nowadays nobody takes responsibility of family. That is another thing. But marriage means to take so many responsibilities. That is another condition of material life
- Nowadays people with teeny knowledge, they are trying to practice yoga system as if they're..., he has become more than Arjuna. It is very difficult subject matter. It is not possible for ordinary man
- Nowadays so many rascals, they write "Bhagavan." That is blasphemy. If Bhagavan likes, such persons should be punished. But Bhagavan excuses. That is another thing
- Nowadays so many subtle machines are manufactured, and they are working very wonderfully. Just like the television machine, it has no connection where or anything, and still exactly the photograph, the sound and everything is coming from outside
- Nowadays the electronic age, when you have got a television machine within our room, you simply put a button, push on a button, and immediately the photo is there, the sound is there. But do not think that it is being done automatically. No
- Nowadays they are educated, but they must have a good service. That means he's a sudra. Without finding a master, his education has no value. So therefore in the sastra it is said, - In this age, Kali-yuga, everyone is sudra
- Nowadays we practically see also that government has enacted so many laws against criminality, but criminality is going on without any stoppage
- Nowadays, as soon as there is little discrepancy, disagreement, and divorce: find out another husband. No. She (Devahuti) remained. And then she got the nicest child, Personality of Godhead, Kapila
- Nowadays, even they do not care for dharma. They're animals. Really human life begins when they take to religious principle
- Nowadays, the electronic age, the artist or the scientist just pushing on one button and it is working so nicely
- Nowadays, the so-called Vedantists and so-called Vedic civilization, they are also advocating, "Yes, you can do whatever you like; there is no restriction." But actually that is not the fact
O
- O the energy of Krsna, O the Lord Krsna, please engage me in Your service. - This is our prayer. We are not going to pray, "O God, give us our daily bread." And if you get bread, then what do you gain?
- Ocean water is very big, that is Brahman. Big means Brahman. But what is this ocean water? Small molecules of water
- Of course, in your country it is cold country. In India, common people, they go to the river and take bath very nicely, because it is a tropical climate; there is no trouble. So you can cleanse your body
- Of course, we cannot be perfect anyway, but they are far, far better than any krsna-bhakta in the world. Even Indians, they say: "Oh, they are better than us." And what is the process? Simply they are chanting Hare Krsna. This is practical
- Offenseless is not yet pure - you're trying to make offenseless, but not yet offenseless. But when there is pure chanting, that is success
- Offering a little flower and a little fruit and offer our respect to the Supreme Lord Krsna. He is here. So is there any difficulty
- Oh, he is going to be a Vaisnava. Let him become a Naxalite, that's all right. But why he should become a Vaisnava? - Immediately disturbed. We have got experience, you see
- Oh, He loves my dog. - Dog is not qualified, but because the gentleman's dog is loved, the gentleman is pleased. This is counteractive. Similarly, a pure devotee, representative of God, if he is offered respect, that respect goes to God
- Oh, I have studied high technical education. - But if you do not get a service for using your education, then you are a street dog. Is it not
- Oh, let there be fire. I have to die, today or tomorrow. Let me die. - No. I do not wish to die. Therefore I go away. This is psychology. So everyone wants to live forever. That's a fact
- Oh, the son of royal order, you live forever. Because you do not know, next life is very dark for you, because you do not cultivate any Krsna consciousness
- Oh, the son of saintly person, you don't live. And oh, the son of a king, you live forever. - Why? Because the son of a saintly person he is undergoing austerities, penances, disciplinary activities. So his future is so bright that he's going to Vaikuntha
- Oh, this is a new type of religion I have created. - "What you are, sir, you can create?" No, religion means the order of God, and it can be given by God, and we should receive it through the acaryas
- Oh, yes, certainly (he will experience the indwelling of God when one becomes sinless). That is the platform of understanding God
- Ojah means power of sense. A man who can use his senses very nicely, he is called ojah
- On account of our abominable activities, from Brahma, we come down to become the worm of stool. This is called karma, ksetra
- On account of our combination with the material nature, we have been covered. Therefore our shining quality is now stopped. That is our forgetfulness about our relationship with the Supreme purusa, purusottama
- On account of pious activities you have got very nice surroundings, aristocratic family, wealth, beauty, education, but it may be polluted again by the other two qualities, means tamo-guna and rajo-guna. Then you are finished again
- On account of poor fund of knowledge they think like that: "There is no God," "I am God," and so on, so on, "There is no basic principle of this creation." They do not know
- On account of the owner of the body presence, the body is changing. The owner of the body is sometimes in the childhood body; the owner of the body sometimes in a different boyhood body; the owner of the body is sometimes in the youthhood body
- On the basis of asuri bhavam, one is always constantly engaged in duskrtina, I mean to say, sinful activities, and mudha, falsely thinking that he is God. Therefore he is a mudha. That is the sign. A big mudha
- On the basis of Sri Bhagavad-gita, everything is explained very vividly. The soul is eternal. The soul is transferred from one gross body to another gross body, just like we change our apartment from one apartment to another. But I exist
- On the basis of this vision, that "There is no God. There is no background of this material creation. This material creation is false." There are so many other conclusions of the demonic people. Demon and atheist, the same thing
- On the beach you find sometimes on the border of the water, the water is covering the land, & sometimes the land is open. This is called marginal position. Similarly, we are marginal energy. We can remain under the water, or we can remain open also
- On the spiritual platform, there is no such distinction (brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya). Spiritual platform, the master and the servant. You remain a servant. If you have to act as ksatriya, act like that. If you act as a brahmin, act like that
- On the street, Second Avenue, there is always big, big trucks and motorcars going on, heavy sound. Then the garbage carrier sound, the digging sound. So many sound they'll tolerate. And as soon "Hare Krsna," "Oh, it is intolerable." This is demonic
- On the whole, our temple activities are going nice? There is no hindrance on account of this counter propaganda
- On this (initiation ceremony) occasion, when you have come here from San Francisco prepared to go to London, so my hearty welcome to you, and please do this missionary work very nicely and Krsna will be pleased upon you
- On this account of family dissension, he (Vidura) left home. And after the battle of Kuruksetra, when everything was finished, so still, he had affection for his eldest brother
- On this nonsense idea the whole world is going on. So how there can be real knowledge? The basic principle of knowledge is ignorance. Andha. The man who is leading, he is blind. So how he can lead? This is the position
- On this platform of bodily concept of life, we remain animal. And to raise from that animal platform to the platform of our spiritual consciousness, that is the business of human life. Athato brahma jijnasa. This is the Vedanta-sutra

- Ordinary people, they are working day and night very hard, but what is the purpose? The purpose is sense gratification. The same desires, strong desires that, "I must get it done; I must have it," for Krsna, then it becomes Krsna consciousness
- Ordinary, anyone can understand that in the human society if you want to become high-court judge, you can become. And if you want to become a criminal in the prisonhouse, you can become
- Ordinary, common people is called jana, ordinary man. And those who are authority, they are mahajana. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah
- Other forms of life - cats and dogs, trees and so many other things; there are 8,400,000 forms of life - so in other forms of life it is not possible to understand what is God
- Other man, he's very honestly living as a good citizen, as a good family member and good brahmin, good ksatriya. He's sticking to his own principle of life, but he's not a Krsna conscious devotee, then what is his gain?
- Other men, even they are not fighting spirit, we can kill very easily. But own men, although they are fighting spirit, still he (Arjuna) hesitates, because own men
- Others are associating with different qualities of the material nature, and nature is prepared, "Come on, sir, you take this body." You are not scientist
- Others may die for, out of starvation, and one man takes all the money and spends it for wine and women and motor car. - That's all. This is advancement of civilization
- Otherwise nobody knows. That is the defect. They do not know God; they do not know what God wants. So where is religion? There is no religion. Bogus. Cheating
- Our acaryas, sad-gosvami, they left their service, big service, ministership, and by the order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu they went to Vrndavana. But what for? Going to Vrndavana and sleeping and eating? No, no, not for that purpose
- Our actual business is to become brahma-bhutah. So who can become? That is explained already. Krsna has already explained that, Yam hi na vyathayanty ete (BG 2.15). Vyathayanti, - Does not give pain
- Our actual business is to go back to home, back to Godhead, not to enjoy in this material world. But still, because we want it, Krsna gives us all facilities
- Our actual distresses are janma, to take birth; to die; to become diseased; or to become old. These are our real distresses. But we don't care for it. Neither you know how to get out of it
- Our advice is that you have to surrender to somebody. So better surrender to the supreme perfect person, Krsna. Then you will be happy
- Our aim of life is to get out of these sinful activities and be situated in our own original position, constitutional position, spiritual position
- Our all activities are based on these three principles. With mind we plan: thinking, feeling and willing. And willing is given practical shape by the bodily work, or words, by speaking. So this is the test of a devotee
- Our all students, say one or two years before, they were not like this. They were taken to so many sinful activities. But since they've taking to this KC, chanting Hare Krsna, now see their features, behavior, character and you will be astonished
- Our argument, our logical strength has no access in the spiritual world. The Vedic mantra says, - Atma, the supreme self, cannot be realized pravacanena
- Our attitude, our mentality, is unreal, that "The whole world is for my enjoyment." No. The creator says, bhokta aham: "I am enjoyer." Why you are claiming you are enjoyer? That is your false claim
- Our beauty, our strength, our riches, our wisdom - everything what we possess - they are also opulent, but they are limited. And it will be finished. Finished means as soon as this body is finished, everything is finished. I begin again, another chapter
- Our becoming the representative of Krsna is not very difficult job, because we do not misinterpret the readings of Bhagavad-gita. We accept them as it is. There cannot be any doubt
- Our Bhagavad-gita, we have named it Bhagavad-gita As It Is. And here, Professor Dimmock, he has also written, "The definitive English edition of Bhagavad-gita." So we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is. This is called disciplic succession
- Our big political leader, Gandhi says that "I don’t believe that there was any person ever living as Krsna." He said that. Just see. Such a big leader, and he is known to be very pious man, but he could not understand Krsna
- Our bondage is we are entrapped here by material opulences. Material opulences are not very good for spiritual advancement
- Our business is like that. We are making big, big plans to be happy like the monkeys. Therefore here it is said that arthan samiheta nikama-kamah. So it is the duty of everyone to do something for his welfare
- Our business is to carry the message of Krsna. Then we are friend. Otherwise we are not friend
- Our business is to please guru. If he is satisfied, then Krsna immediately becomes satisfied, because he is the agent. That is very easy to understand
- Our business is to present Bhagavad-gita as it is. Krsna says, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya (BG 7.7). We say that, that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What Krsna says Himself, we simply carry the message. That's all
- Our business is to see, "How I am being enjoyed by Krsna, by serving Him." This is devotion. This is Krsna consciousness
- Our business should be how to get out of this material energy and put ourself under the spiritual energy. Then our life will be fully satisfied
- Our business should be we should follow the footsteps of Arjuna. How to follow the footsteps of Arjuna? As Arjuna understood Bhagavad-gita, you try to understand in that way
- Our children are going, these boys, they are taking prasadam, we are taking prasadam, we are traveling all over the world, spending, as I told you, over 700,000's of rupees per month, but we have no source of income fixed
- Our consciousness, when it is dovetailed with universal consciousness, then our consciousness also become universal consciousness
- Our death condition is for seven months only. As soon as I leave this body, at once I am injected into other's mother's body according to my karma
- Our death means a sleeping for seven months. That is the description we get from the sastras
- Our definition of religion is to accept the orders of God. That's all. It doesn't matter what religion you are following. You may be Christian, I may be Hindu, that may be Muhammadan, but the test of religion is how one has developed his God consciousness
- Our devotional service begins from the tongue. People will be, "How service begins from the tongue?" Yes
- Our dharma, our characteristic, our occupational duty, is to serve. When you stop serving, that is our unnatural state
- Our difficulty, or miserable condition of life, is due to being under the material laws of nature. So it is very simple method, and you are all intelligent boys and girls in the Western country, and I am very happy that you have taken it seriously
- Our duration life is very short. If you study the statistics, you can see your forefathers who lived for hundred years or eighty years, ninety years. Now sixty years, seventy years people are dying. Gradually it will decrease
- Our estimation, gagana-sadrsa, is imperfect. How He (God) can be gagana-sadrsa? Jagad-anda means universe, the gagana is within the universe. We cannot see beyond this gagana, but beyond this gagana there is another gagana. Paras tasmat tu bhavah anyah
- Our European, American students, they are in new birth. They have given up their old birth practices. So birth is changed. Punar janma. So that is possible only by Krsna consciousness
- Our greatest success of life is how to love God, Krsna. Now you can do it. But there is prescribed method, given by great acaryas. Just like in this temple we are doing
- Our Harikesa was speaking that if they do not say there is life in Mars, then their whole propaganda will fail
- Our ideal is we are fighting with maya, so the fighting will conquer over maya when we see that we are not disturbed by these four processes: eating, sleeping, mating and defending. This is the test
- Our knowledge, our experience, experimental knowledge, everything will fail to understand the supreme controller. Therefore His name is Adhoksaja. Still you have to understand that
- Our knowledge, your knowledge or anyone's knowledge - we are defect in four principles. We commit mistake
- Our Krsna consciousness institution encouraging marriage, on this ground: not to produce cats and dogs, but to produce highly qualified devotees. So you should always remember that
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is there. We say "consciousness." We don't say: "Stop fight" or "Do this, do that, do that," no. Everything should be done in Krsna consciousness. That is our propaganda
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is to clear that covered sense, or this colored consciousness, or adulterated consciousness. Then everything will be there
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is to spiritualize, re-spiritualize the whole thing - whole social position, political position, anything
- Our Krsna consciousness movement is trying to purify the people in general to the brahmana stage. Then they'll be, you'll be able to understand - Bhagavad-gita
- Our Krsna consciousness movement, bhagavata-dharma, it is not sentiment. We can explain how God created. Sometimes it is, in Bible, it is said: "God said, 'Let there be creation,' and there was creation." But they cannot explain
- Our leaders are blind, foolish. They are leading us to misuse this valuable life of human form. This is our position. They are misleading us
- Our leaders, rather, they are misinterpreting sastra, our leaders, and trying to mold it to the material way of life. This is the pity of the things
- Our line of action is not difficult - chanting sixteen rounds regularly, following the four restrictive principles, take prasadam, read books - we have got so many books - speak, discuss about the subject matter amongst yourself, and this is the process
- Our loving propensity or our love for God is already there in every living being, but it is now covered due to our ignorance, or due to our contamination with this material nature. So simply we have to awaken that love
- Our main source of income is the selling of these books. We are selling books daily all over the world, five to six lakhs' rupees
- Our mastership is relative. Under certain condition we become master, but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is master without any condition
- Our materialistic way of life is described as grha andha-kupam (SB 7.5.5). This family life is just like dark well. We are already in the darkness, and another darkness is to fall in the dark well
- Our miserable condition of life is due to our forgetfulness
- Our miserable condition of life is due to our material attraction, or papa, impious activities. Here it is confirmed that kevalaya bhaktya, agham dhunvanti kartsnyena: totally you can kill all reaction of sinful activities
- Our mission is very nice. We want to see everyone happy. We don't want anything from anyone
- Our mission, human mission, is to come to the platform of amrtatvam, immortality. We have discussed this point. Amrtatvam, immortality
- Our misunderstanding is due to dirty things within our hearts. So first benefit of chanting Hare Krsna maha-mantra will be that all the dirty things within your heart will be cleansed
- Our modern activities are animal activities but in a polished way. But that does not make any difference between the animal propensity and so-called civilized life
- Our movement is on that platform, how to stop. Our whole Vedic culture is based on that process
- Our only shelter is Krsna. Krsna, krsna, krsna, krsna, krsna, krsna, raksa mam. Very dangerous position. The foolish people, they are thinking that "We are very happy and we are very safe." But nobody is safe
- Our only shelter is Nrsimha-deva. This world is very, very dangerous. Padam padam yad vipadam (SB 10.14.58). In every step there is danger. Every step there is envious creatures. You cannot live here peacefully
- Our opening of different center means we are giving chance. So those who are inmates of the temple, they should be also such nice devotees that anyone who will come in the association of devotees, he will immediately develop a sense of devotion
- Our original consciousness is Krsna consciousness, but somehow or other, being in contact with this matter, we have lost our Krsna consciousness. Therefore this movement is to revive Krsna consciousness. That is our original constitutional position
- Our original constitutional position is that we are eternal servant of Krsna. So as soon as we employ ourself in the service of the Lord, immediately we become liberated
- Our outward covering is covered by these material elements, but inside, there is the spirit soul. Therefore one who is advanced, he does not see that "This is cat, this is dog, this is man, this is elephant, and this is brahmin." No. He sees the soul
- Our past lives we have forgotten since we have got this body; similarly, when you get another body we shall forget. But each life is a chapter of suffering, that's all
- Our philosophy, we, following the footsteps of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu: acintya bhedabheda-tattva. The difference is simultaneously we are one with God and different from God. One in quality. God is spirit, we are also spirit
- Our physical necessity is that we want to eat. That is necessary to maintain this body, ahara. Nidra, rest. We must have some rest also. So ahara-nidra-bhaya. Bhaya means "to become afraid of." That is material nature
- Our point is, the birth problem is not solved. If there are unwanted population, you kill them, that does not mean the population problem is solved
- Our position is forgetting God, we have been kicked out constantly by maya. The maya has given us the senses, and the senses are dictating us, "Do this, do that, do this, do that," and we have become servant of our senses
- Our position is, we learn from Bhagavad-gita that we have to increase our attachment for God, Krsna, mayy asakta. This is the perfect process of yoga system
- Our pravrtti is to abide by the dictation of the senses, and when we learn not to abide by the dictation of the senses but to abide by the orders of Krsna or His representative, then your life are successful
- Our principle is that if you want to understand God, then you must be sinless, because God is pure. Anyone who is sinful, he cannot understand God. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita: yesam (tu) anta-gatam papam
- Our principle is to follow the footprints of authorities. So these things are not unauthorized. These are being followed from time immemorial. This dress, this tilaka, this chanting. Everything
- Our principle, Vedic principle, is to receive knowledge from the perfect. So-called scientists, so-called philosophers . . . because basically they're imperfect, how they can give you perfect
- Our problem is that we do not know what we are. Neither we know how to get out of the miserable condition of life. Therefore we have no intelligence. We are like cats and dogs. This is the conclusion
- Our process of knowledge is not any speculation: "It may be," "Perhaps." No. We don't accept this knowledge. "It may be," "Perhaps" - these are all foolishness
- Our process of knowledge, Vedic process of knowledge: tad-vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Their knowledge should be taken from the authority. Do not manufacture knowledge
- Our process of Krsna consciousness: everything engaged in glorifying the Supreme Lord. So you are learned scientists. Our request is that you also, by your scientific research, glorify the Supreme. That is perfection
- Our process of Vedic knowledge is how to surrender, not that I hear and I reject it. That is not the way. That is another rascaldom. First of all find out the person where you can surrender
- Our process of Vedic knowledge is that we get knowledge from the superior just like Lord Brahma
- Our propaganda is to train people how to become Krsna conscious, how to understand Krsna in truth so that next life, after giving up this body, you get your original, spiritual body, and you live forever with complete knowledge and blissful life
- Our proposal is that you take remnants of foodstuff taken by Krsna. Therefore we offer this foodstuff from food grains, fruits, vegetable, milk, we offer to Krsna, and you take the remnants of foodstuff
- Our proposal is, that is first-class religion which teaches the followers to go back home, back to Godhead. It does not matter whether it is Christianity or Muhammadanism. Just like if I want to return to India, I shall see which plane goes faster & safe
- Our puffed-up condition on account of this body is illusion, because I am not this body. Therefore brahma-bhutah, those who are self-realized, they are prasannatma. Any condition of life they are happy, jolly
- Our real business is Krsna consciousness. So how this Krsna consciousness can be developed by the easiest method? Now, this question is asked from a person who is self-realized, not from a shopkeeper
- Our real business is that, - Why we are put into the cycle of birth and death, and according to the body we are suffering different types of miserable condition of life
- Our real constitutional position: to love God. We are loving also, in this fallen state, but not God - all non-God or some shadow God
- Our real hankering is how to go to the spiritual nature. But due to our long association with this material nature, we are thinking wrongly that, - I am a product of this material nature. I will have to adjust with the elements here
- Our real miserable condition of life is birth, death, old age and disease. Where is scientific help to mitigate these miseries
- Our relationship in this material world, that either in the dress of woman or man, the mentality is purusa, how to enjoy
- Our request is that everyone with his talents should establish the authority of the Supreme. This is our Krsna consciousness movement
- Our request is that such a great science, for the human society, for understanding the problems of life, how to solve it, how to achieve the greatest success in life... We have got this in the Bhagavad-gita. Why should we neglect it
- Our request is that there is no loss on your part. You kindly take this mantra and chant. Begin chanting Hare Krsna. Then the result will be, gradually, all the misgivings within our heart will be cleansed
- Our request is, this Krsna consciousness movement, that you study Bhagavad-gita. Because Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge
- Our sampradaya is Brahma, Brahma-sampradaya. There are four sampradayas. We belong to this Brahma-sampradaya
- Our senses are so imperfect that simply by expanding the sense power artificially, speculating, we cannot realize. These are described in different way in different scriptures
- Our senses are so imperfect that we cannot see how many stars, how many planets there are in this material universe
- Our students all over the world, simply by chanting this holy name of God, Hare Krsna, they are quickly advancing in spiritual knowledge. That's a fact
- Our students are strictly forbidden to have illicit sex life or meat-eating or intoxication or gambling. These four things are strictly forbidden for our students. And they take it seriously
- Our subject matter is sinful activities and how to check them. If we do not check, if we do not become free from sinful activities, then we will have to undergo this cycle of birth and death. That is our problem
- Our svarupa, means original, constitutional position, is jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108-109), eternally servant of Krsna. So as soon as we place ourselves in our original place, then you are liberated immediately
- Our teaching, Krsna consciousness, is perfect because we have taken the lesson from Krsna. Just try to understand how perfect we are. We don't say anything as "I think," "maybe," "perhaps." No. We never say so. We say definite
- Our tendency is to give service. But because we are not giving service to God, Krsna, we are frustrated. This is raja-vidya. This is the king of education
- Our test of religion is how one has developed God consciousness or love of God
- Our these students, they are being educated how to think of Krsna always, twenty-four hours, without any stop. And that is first-class yoga
- Our this Krsna consciousness is about the activities of the owner of the body, not the body. But the whole world is going on on acting on the body. That is the defect. Therefore it takes very, very long time to understand
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement begins when you are ready to surrender. Tad viddhi pranipatena (BG 4.34). Pranipat means surrender. Prakrsta-rupena nipata: "Yes, I surrender to you." That is the beginning
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is not a sectarian movement. We are trying to bring back people to God consciousness. Because unless one comes to God consciousness, he cannot be happy. That's a fact
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is the greatest welfare activity for the human society because this movement is educating everyone how to fulfill the aim of life
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is to educate people to God consciousness, or Krsna consciousness, so that his life may be success
- Our this Krsna consciousness movement is to teach people how to engage the tongue in the service of the Lord. This is Krsna consciousness
- Our this monarchy was there, but they were rajarsis: monarch, at the same time, great saintly person. Therefore they were worshiped - Maharaja Yudhisthira, Maharaja Pariksit, Maharaja Ambarisa
- Our this movement is making the asuras to become devata. This is our movement. This is, therefore, the most prominent welfare activities within the human society
- Our this movement is nothing new. It is oldest and authorized. So now if we can push on this movement, that is the greatest welfare activity in the human
- Our this movement is the prime welfare activities to the human society, loka-hitam. It is not a business. Business means my hitam, my benefit only. It is not. It is Krsna's business
- Our this Vedic principle is to follow the acarya. And if we have taken shelter of a bona fide acarya, and if we are sincere to follow the instruction of acarya, then our life is successful. This is the process, acarya upasanam
- Our Vedic civilization, all the great acaryas, teachers, they accept knowledge from the Vedas. Because we accept it Veda is perfect
- Our Vedic process is like that (perfect knowledge). We do not make any research. It is not possible to come to the right knowledge by so-called research, because our senses are imperfect
- Our Vedic process of knowledge is, one has to accept a guru, a spiritual master, who has received knowledge from another perfect spiritual master
- Our vision is different. We are not under the control of maya. At least we should be like that. Then we remain in the transcendental state
- Our vision is from the standard of that soul. The soul is there in elephant as well as in the learned scientist. So panditah sama-darsinah (BG 5.18) means a learned, advanced spiritualist, he sees that everyone is soul
- Our whole aim is how to get out of this material encagement and go back to the spiritual world, go back to home. That is the aim. That is called para gatim. Para means transcendental; gati means aim of life. Para gati
- Our whole trouble of life, this material existence, it is, according to Vedic literature, this is our condemned life, material, because I am put into a different atmosphere, this body, which I am not
- Our workers work hard and seriously and sincerely, this mission will advance. There is no doubt about it. Because we are sincerely working. There is nothing bogus. Our Godbrothers have deliberately disobeyed my Guru Maharaja
- Our worshipable object is that spiritual love, Radha and Krsna. But the so-called love in this material world is only a perverted reflection. It is only lust
- Our, this Gaudiya-sampradaya, Caitanya Mahaprabhu's descendants, our line of God-realization is that separation, feeling of separation. Not that we have got Krsna within our hand. No
- Out of 8,400,000's of forms of life, mostly 8,300,000 species of life are being maintained by that one maintainer. And some of us so-called civilized, we are trying to maintain ourself
- Out of many millions of persons engaged in ritualistic ceremony, one becomes advanced in knowledge. They are called jnani, or speculative philosopher. Not karmis, but jnani
- Out of many millions of these religious person, some of them know what he is, - I am not this body
- Out of many, many, many thousands of people, who wants to have perfection in spiritual life, then those persons who have attained such perfection, out of them, one or two may understand what is Krsna
- Out of sixty volumes, we have published only about twelve volumes. So it's a great literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam. So everything is there; nothing new
- Out of ten children, only Caitanya Mahaprabhu was the living child of Sacima. So naturally she was very, very affection to his son, and Visnupriya, wife, very, very affectionate, beautiful, young - but He gave up. This is called vairagya-vidya
- Out of the twelve authorities of sastra, Brahma is the origin, and he has been explained as Svayambhu. Atma-bhu, like that
- Out of the twelve authorities, Bali Maharaja is one of the authorities because he sacrificed everything to satisfy the Lord
- Out of the twelve authorities, first is Lord Brahma; the next, Narada; the next, Lord Siva; then next, the Kumaras; then Kapiladeva; then Manu, Vaivasvata Manu; then Prahlada Maharaja; then Janaka Maharaja; then Bhismadeva; then Bali Maharaja
- Out of these so-called religious human society, most of them, they simply designate, "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian," but they do not know about religion
- Out of twelve authorities, Sukadeva Gosvami is authority. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). We have to follow the authority
- Outside the covering (sky) there are five layers, thousand times bigger than the one another: water layer, air layer, fire layer. So you have to penetrate all these layers. Then you will get the spiritual world
- Outside the prison the citizens abide by the laws of the government voluntarily, and inside the prison house, the criminals, they defy the laws of government, and therefore they are put into the prison house
- Overintelligent means rascal. Intelligence means you must have reason. And if he is going beyond reason, only depending on himself, then he is overintelligent rascal
P
- Pacific Ocean is an insignificant drop of water within this material universe. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that this universe is just like a small mustard seed in the bag of a mustard seed
- Pakistan is ready to attack us. If not Pakistan, then there are many other enemies; even there are many other living entities, just like mosquito, fly, bugs. So adhibhautika, another living entity giving us trouble
- Pancaratrika-vidhi, they accept, nobody is brahmin. Everyone is sudra - kalau sudra-sambhava. In this age, nobody is actually born of a brahmin family or ksatriya family. That is accepted. Because nobody is keeping up their standard
- Pandita, one who is learned, he is sama-darsinah, equal vision. Krsna has equal vision. That picture, Krsna, He's embracing the calf. He is not only embracing the gopis, but He is embracing the calf also, cows also
- Papa-yoni means their intelligence is not very sharp. And a brahmana means to become very, very highly intellectual. Because he'll understand Brahman
- Para-hita-bhasanam. You should speak truth also. What is that truth? That truth is "God is great, and we are subservient. So our duty is to abide by the orders of God," the simple truth
- Param param. They do not know that beyond the sky there is spiritual sky, there is another nature. They have no information
- Pariksit Maharaja is a Vaisnava. So he did not appreciate the suffering of the human being in such a way (put into river of germs and mosquitoes, forced to embrace hot iron man or woman). That is a Vaisnava's nature
- Pariksit Maharaja is a Vaisnava. Vaisnava is very sympathetic. If actually there is any welfare worker, that is Vaisnava. This Krsna consciousness movement is going on, the Vaisnavas are taking so much trouble
- Pariksit Maharaja is addressed as maha-bhaga. Maha means great, and bhaga, the same bhaga, from the word bhaga. Bhagavan and bhagyavan, maha-bhaga - these terms are applicable to the very, very great fortunate, opulent
- Pariksit Maharaja is the disciple and Sukadeva Gosvami is the spiritual master. So the spiritual master is speaking and the disciple is hearing, but in the meantime making some question. That is the way of understanding
- Pariksit Maharaja is Vaisnava. He is very unhappy that so many living entities, they are rotting in this hellish condition of life. So he is asking, - I am very sorry that so many living entities are suffering. So if there is any way to give them relief?
- Pariksit Maharaja said: "This Krsna consciousness movement is understandable by liberated class of men." Liberated class means above the brahmins
- Pariksit Maharaja, from his childhood he is a Vaisnava. So he has no unhappiness. But when he heard that so many sinful persons are going to the hell and they are suffering in this way, he became very sorry. That is Vaisnava
- Pariksit Maharaja, he heard so many things, but he is very much perplexed that - How these suffering men who are put into this hellish condition of life, not all, some of them?
- Pariksit Maharaja, he was a powerful king. He was equipped with everything, but he did not counteract the curse. He could counteract that curse - he was so powerful - but he accepted, - All right. I am cursed. I shall give up my life within seven days
- Pariksit Maharaja, simply by hearing from Sukadeva Gosvami that "A person, if he commits sinful activities, he suffers like that," he is not seeing; he is compassionate: "How such person can be delivered?" This is the inquiry
- Pariksit Maharaja, when he was going, and some person was sudra in the dress of a king, he was trying to kill a cow. Immediately Pariksit Maharaja took his sword: "Who are you, rascal, you are trying to kill a cow in my kingdom?" That is ksatriya
- Part is never equal to the whole. But quality is the same. Therefore we, being part and parcel of Krsna, the Supreme Lord, we are trying to utilize our original constitutional position. This is going on
- Partha means his mother's name was Prtha. From Prtha, the word Partha comes. His mother happened to be Krsna's father's sister. So very intimately and friendly, He addresses him as Partha, - My dear son of My aunt
- Patram puspam phalam toyam (BG 9.26). No cooking. Tulasi and jala. You can offer little fruits, nuts, milk. No need of cooking. Take so much time
- Peace automatically will come if people become Krsna conscious, because they become highly qualified, without committing any sinful activities. If such population is there in the world, there is no question of disturbance
- Peacefully forget that (conquering over the laws of nature). It is not possible. You will never be able. Because we believe in the words of Vedic scripture, daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya, you cannot conquer over the laws
- People (in Hawaii) work very nicely, and there are many people who are hankering after something spiritual. So these are the good opportunities, so be yourself a pure Vaisnava. Pure Vaisnava means no more desires
- People accuse sometimes - of course, foolish people do that - that, "These God conscious person, they are escaping." No. Who are actually God conscious person is always thinking how to do well to the people in general
- People amongst whom he is preaching, they don't believe in God, but they accept Lord Buddha. But he is God. So by cheating, he is making others to worship God
- People are accepting knowledge from a school, college, university, but at the present moment at least, how many people know that he is not body? Unless we understand this first principle of knowledge, there is no question of spiritual advancement of life
- People are after becoming religious person or economically very well situated person or desiring all facilities for sense gratification. And when one is frustrated in all these attempts, he wants to become God. You see?
- People are being denied their privilege. The human life is meant for getting out of this ignorance of life. But people are put into ignorance, and their human life is being spoiled
- People are engaged formally. Their temple, church, is sometimes simply formality. Their real business is how to satisfy their senses
- People are generally become religious to get some material benefit, dharma artha. And as soon as he gets material benefit, he enjoys his senses, kama
- People are in so ignorance, the so-called material civilization - simply in darkness. Very horrible civilization at the present moment
- People are increasing more and more and becoming under the clutches of maya. Clutches of maya means birth, death, old age and disease. This is maya's shackles, or ropes
- People are meant for this purpose (to prepare for next body), but due to this lust, kama, and krodha, anger, they are being degraded. Therefore Krsna is advising that control these two things
- People are not interested for liberation. They want to become religious for material benefit. But that is not the real purpose of life
- People are paying money and going to the machine? To make experiment? So many men have gone, and they have died? So after died, then what is the profit?
- People are so degraded, and there is no education, and there are so-called leaders, they are themselves degraded, they are themselves blind. So what is the position of the present society? It is very precarious condition
- People are suffering, identifying himself with these false things, which is not. Tri-guna, all these materials, they are manufactured by the three modes of material nature, and he has no connection with the material nature
- People are surprised. They think the mind, speculative mind, is the beginning. No. Sastra says tongue is the beginning
- People are taking shelter of the Vedic literature who have become afraid of this conditional life. What is the end of Vedic literature? Just to get oneself liberated from this material entanglement
- People are taking so much exercise just to become very strong and stout. But nature will not allow you. However stout and strong you may be, you have to die. You have to give up this body
- People are thinking, "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am brahmana," "I am ksatriya," "I am cat," "I am dog." Every living entity is simply thinking in bodily. That is asat-patha
- People are unaware, and they are not interested what is vimoksaya, what is nibandhaya. Exactly like cats and dogs, they are after these four principles of material body
- People are very against us: "No, I am a scholar. I am a philosopher. I can interpret in any way." We say, "No, sir, you cannot do that." This is our propaganda. Veda-pranihito dharmah
- People are very much interested in welfare activities for the human society. So they think that by feeding poor men or giving cloth or opening hospitals, schools, colleges - These things are required. What is the use of hearing about Krsna?
- People become religious not for attaining the transcendental stage, but for material benefit, dharma, the artha. Artha means material opulence. These four things: dharma artha kama moksa
- People become religious to increase their economic condition better, dharma artha, generally
- People become religious. Just like in your Christian religion they go to the church to get some material profit, "O God, give us our daily bread." This is material profit. Similarly, Hindus or Muslims, they become religious
- People do not believe even in the next life, and what to speak of atonement and punishment. They are kept in darkness. Otherwise if they would have followed actually the injunction of the sastras one should not be killing anyone
- People do not care for impious life. That is misfortune. No knowledge. Impious or vicious activities are done out of ignorance. Just like a person commits some criminality without knowing the laws, government laws
- People do not care for knowledge, at the present moment at least. They care for material opulence
- People do not know how to enjoy ananda. They have been put into ignorance. The so-called leaders, so-called politicians, so-called philosophers, scientists, they are simply keeping the people in darkness
- People do not know what is bhava-sagara. They do not know even. But in Vedic literature, this is the first instruction, how to get out of this bhava-sindhu, bhava-sagara, material ocean
- People do not see what is that atyantika-duhkha-nivrtti, what is that ultimate disappearance of unhappiness. That they do not know. So many things they do not know. Therefore it requires education
- People do not understand that what is that ultimate happiness. Ultimate happiness is there. No, there is no duhkha, there is no unhappiness. That is ultimate happiness
- People do not understand what is moksa, what is economic development, what is religious principle. There is no education
- People do very pious activities, charity, munificence. Now, what is the purpose? What is the purpose of becoming educated, learned scholar, very charitable and all these pious activities? What is the end?
- People generally execute religious principles for some material gain. That is warning. Bhagavata is warning, na arthaya upakalpate: don't execute religious performances simply for material gain
- People give more stress on the eye: "Oh, can you show me Krsna?" Oh, can't you hear Krsna? This is also one sense, that is also another sense. Do you think by seeing you'll understand everything
- People have become so degraded, they do not want to take any information of the soul, of the transmigration of the soul, of God, our relationship with God, what is the ultimate goal of life, why we are put into this miserable condition of life
- People have become so rascal that they do not think of sinful activities. By nature's law it is so strict that you have to follow the laws given by God. If you don't follow, then you'll be punished
- People in general, they understand Vedantist means Sankara sampradaya
- People may say, "A karmi is dying and bhakta is dying. What is the benefit?" No. He's not dying, but he is dying or giving up this body for living forever. And the nondevotees, he is dying to accept another body. That is the difference
- People must have sane brain to understand, to take this king of education (Krsna Consciousness). Then they will be benefited
- People not afraid of becoming animals. I have asked so many people that, "Suppose if you become animal in the next life?" He says - What is the harm?
- People say that, "Whether God can be seen? If anyone has seen God?" Yes, God can be seen. There is no doubt about it. But it requires some qualification. Not some, but only one qualification
- People say, "Can you show me God?" There is no need of showing God. You qualify yourself, and God will be visible in every step of your life. Then your life will be successful
- People say: "What is the use of this sankirtana? We are doing our duty. We are living very honestly." For such person it is impossible
- People should be very careful, take advantage of this Krsna consciousness movement. It is not a blind, sentimental religious faith. It is a great science, vijnanam
- People should come forward to cooperate with this movement. That is called tyagena. Charity should be given, money should be given
- People should spend sufficiently for propagating this Krsna consciousness. That is tyaga. Because everything requires money. Just like our Krsna consciousness movement, we have got 102 branches, and we have to spend money
- People should try to attain that perfect transcendental position so that he is fully satisfied, no more want. So that is called bhakti-yoga, and we are teaching and propagating this bhakti-yoga
- People try to understand, that this Krsna consciousness movement, is Hindu movement: "Krsna is one of the Hindu gods." But that is not the fact. Krsna is God. God is God. God cannot be Hindu God, cannot be Muslim God, cannot be Christian God
- People used to understand that what is sinful and what is pious. Now people are so downtrodden, so dull, mandah, that they do not understand what is sinful, what is pious
- People who are accustomed to bad habits, it is very difficult to overcome them. But those who are in Krsna consciousness, they are actually overcoming the stringent laws of nature. These are practical
- People who are thinking, "By going to the church, by confession, I become free from all sinful activities, and then let me go again, commit the same thing for the whole week, come again and confess," this is not very good business
- People will be surprised, "How God consciousness begins with jihva?" That they do not know. Sastra says, sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Jihva, the tongue, is the beginning of Krsna consciousness, God consciousness
- People will not do that. This truth (Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead) they will not say. What is the reason? Say what is the reason why they do not carry this message, simply to say everyone, whomever you meet
- People, if they simply study nature's law, he becomes a learned scholar. There is no need of going to school, college
- People, they are interested for success of this human form of life. They are called brahmin. And the next class of men, they are interested for political power, next important class
- Perfect knowledge, how it can come? The perfect knowledge can come from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the process of acquiring knowledge, so far we are concerned. Evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh
- Perfect knowledge, is coming from Krsna, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and if we receive that knowledge in cool head and assimilate, then our knowledge is perfect
- Perfect Krsna consciousness means he knows that "I have engaged my life in Krsna's business. Eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. He's feeding millions and millions of living entities, and He'll keep me starving?" Is it possible
- Perfect yogi, they control the prana-vayu in such a way that by their sweet will they can transfer themselves through the prana-vayu in different planets
- Persons who are making research, what is the origin of everything, they are also learned scholars - but because they are doing in their own way, therefore it takes many, many births to understand that Krsna is the origin of everything
- Persons who were of our father's age, they would sit down round the prostitute exactly like the street dog surrounds one female dog. Exactly. They had no shame even. This was aristocratic
- Perverted means the topmost thing has come down to the lowest. Here, this parakiya, loving other's wife or other's husband, is most abominable, adultery - not allowed by society, not allowed by the state. But tendency is there
- Philosophers like Kant, Mill, Aristotle or Schopenhauer etc all belong to either of the above five Darshans (the Mimamsa, Sankhya, Nyaya, Mayavada, Patanjal) except Vedanta because limited human thinking power cannot go beyond that stage
- Philosophy is being followed at the present moment that, "You don't care for sinful activities. There is no life, and after finishing this body, everything is finished. Enjoy life as you like." This is going on. That is Carvaka's philosophy
- Physical killing is for very big, big, strong man like Mao, or this Lenin, like that. Not common people. They have to be shown mercy
- Pious activities means to be controlled by Krsna, and impious activities means to be controlled by maya. We have to be controlled. Our position is such that we cannot become controller. That is not possible
- Pious and vicious, these two activities are concern to the human. It is not to the animals. Animals, they are not subjected to the rules and regulations. Just like state law - state laws are meant for human beings, not for the cats and dogs
- Pisaci paile yena mati-cchana haya, mayar grasta jivera sei dasa upajaya. One who is under the control of maya, he speaks like ghostly-haunted man - all nonsense
- Please come and live with us. We shall supply all, everything, necessities of life. - But you shall have to live with us as we live. That's all. That is the only condition
- Please continue to chant faithfully, and Krishna will reveal Himself, by His Causeless Mercy, and you will know everything automatically
- Please do not take this Krsna consciousness movement as any sectarian movement. It is the science of God. Try to understand the science of God
- Point is that we are teaching Bhagavad-gita as it is, therefore I am representative of Krsna. If you do that, you become also representative of Krsna. So it is not very difficult
- Police business is to see the criminal that is actually, he is in his original consciousness to become law-abiding citizen. Otherwise police will go on punishing him. That is police affair. Similarly, this maya is the police agent
- Police force, as the department of government, is not bad. It is doing faithfully service to the government. It is bad to me because I am criminal. Otherwise police force as it is, department, is not bad
- Poor girls, they are victims. These rascals are enjoying without any responsibility of marriage. And sex impulse is very strong between thirteen years up to thirty years
- Poor thinking, poor in thought, poor in behavior, and living with motorcar and this, that, nonsense. It is all nonsense civilization
- Prabhu means "the Lord" and pada means "the position." "One who has taken the position of the Lord." The same thing: saksad-dharitvena, prabhupada. These are the terms. One who is serious to study this science of God, they'll learn all these things
- Practical purpose of studying Vedas, vedanti . . . That vedanti means to understand Krsna. But vedesu durlabham. At the same time, it is said, - It is very, very difficult to understand Krsna by becoming so-called Vedanti
- Practically every person, 99.9%, they are under the impression that "I am this body." This conception of life is animal consciousness. The dog is thinking, "I am this body." The cat is thinking, - I am this body
- Practically everything depends on practice. This whole Krsna consciousness movement is to practice transferring from one kind of consciousness to another. So we require practice
- Practically I have done this. People are giving me credit that I have done miracles, but my miracle is that I carried the message of Caitanya Mahaprabhu: yare dekha tare kaha 'krsna'-upadesa (CC Madhya 7.128). So this is the secrecy
- Practically see how easy to practice this method of sankirtana, Hare Krsna, and how quickly it acts. This is a fact; not a story. We have got hundreds of students in different centers - just see their behavior, just see their face, how they are advancing
- Practically there is no death. Death means changing the body. We have already discussed this point. But that janma, that birth, oh, it is stated here that it is a bondage. Janma-bandha
- Practically throughout the whole world they are rejecting God. In England there are many, many churches, they are vacant now, redundant. In the Parliament they have passed law that these redundant churches can be sold for any other purpose
- Practically we have very little suffering from disease. We are spending so much money, but we don't spend for doctors' bill
- Practically we see - we have got branches all over the world - those who have taken to Krsna consciousness, they are happy. So take it very seriously. Don't neglect it, that "It is a sectarian religion of the Hindus or " No. Krsna is not for the Hindus
- Practically we see a thief. So he knows that "I am committing theft. I shall be punished if I am arrested." He knows it; otherwise why he goes silently at night and break?
- Prahlada flatly refused in the presence of Nrsimhadeva. - Sir, we are so prone to accept this material benediction, & Your great personality is offering. So this is a great allurement. Kindly save me. I am not a merchandise man, that I want something
- Prahlada Maharaja - he is born of a demon father, but Krsna consciousness is open for him; he has accepted. So he is not to be considered as one of the members of the demon family
- Prahlada Maharaja became a devotee, not a so-called devotee, that - If my senses are gratified, then I shall continue to remain a devotee. Otherwise I shall slip away, go away. That's all
- Prahlada Maharaja himself was born of the demon family. His all class friends are born of demon father. His country was demonic country, his family was demonic, and he became a great devotee
- Prahlada Maharaja is not protesting, "Why you are killing my father?" No. He's seeing. So why Prahlada Maharaja is worshiped? Why he has become a mahajana, authority
- Prahlada Maharaja is one of the mahajana, authorities. How he has gotten this authority? Here it is said, so 'ham katham nu visrje tava bhrtya-sevam. So everyone must have his position by giving service to the spiritual master
- Prahlada Maharaja is submitting that, "I do not require to be highly elevated to offer my prayers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Nobody requires any material acquisition to approach God. We have been discussing this point for the last few days
- Prahlada Maharaja regrets, "I am thinking of these rascals, fools." Maya-sukhaya: "For maya-sukha," means this false or illusory happiness, - they are making some huge, gorgeous arrangement
- Prahlada Maharaja said that, - I have seen my father, such a powerful man, finished. What benediction I shall ask, this material world? Don't allure me. Better engage me as the servant of Your servant
- Prahlada Maharaja said that, - My dear Lord, for my personal self, I do not bother. I have no problem. I am simply thinking of these fools
- Prahlada Maharaja said to his father, - My dear father, if somebody quits this scene of grham andha-kupam, a dark well of this material life, and goes to the forest and takes shelter of Krsna, oh, that is very nice thing
- Prahlada Maharaja said: "My Lord, I have no problem, so why shall I ask You for anything? I have no problem." - Everyone has got problem in this material world. They're trying to overcome the problem. But I have no problem
- Prahlada Maharaja says - These demigods, they are appointed servants, and they are not disturbing like us. And Your incarnation is specially meant for them
- Prahlada Maharaja says he (a devotee) may be born in a family of the dog-eaters, but because he has engaged his body, mind and words for service of Krsna, then he is better, he is in superior position than the so-called brahmin
- Prahlada Maharaja says that according to the body, your happiness and distress or enjoyment. We do not know what is our happiness. According to body, I think this is the standard of happiness
- Prahlada Maharaja says this stoppage of talking is better than to talk nonsense. If you cannot talk of Krsna, better don't talk. Therefore this maunam is recommended for the persons, less intelligent, who cannot talk about Krsna. Better stop
- Prahlada Maharaja says, "Because my heart is always merged into the ocean of Your glorification, I have no problem." This is the devotee
- Prahlada Maharaja says, - Even a sadhu is pleased when a snake is killed or a scorpion is killed. So my father is just like snake and scorpion. So he's killed; therefore everyone is happy
- Prahlada Maharaja says, grham andha-kupam: "If you keep yourself always in this dark well of so-called family life, then you'll never be happy." Atma-patam
- Prahlada Maharaja says, soce tato vimukha-cetasa vimudhan (SB 7.9.43): "These rascals, they have forgotten You and making plan to be happy." So everyone
- Prahlada Maharaja's father: he was so proud, and he was confident, "Now I have taken benediction from Brahma, I'll live forever." So he was very much proud
- Prahlada Maharaja, directly his father is a great demon, but he is not demon. It does not mean that a person born of low family is also low. This is not the verdict of Vedas
- Prahlada Maharaja, five-years-old boy, he was chanting Hare Krsna. His father did not like. "Why you are chanting Hare Krsna?" "Because Krsna is the Supreme Lord." - Krsna is Supreme Lord? I am Supreme Lord. You do not do this
- Prakasananda Sarasvati was at Benares. He was a Mayavadi sannyasi, Sankara-sampradaya. At Benares He (Caitanya) was also walking all over the streets and roads, "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna," and thousands and thousands men were following Him
- Prakasananda Sarasvati? He was also old man. Not less than sixty years old
- Prakrteh means this cosmic manifestation, beyond that. God is creator of this cosmic manifestation. Therefore it is said prakrteh
- Prakrti means which is controlled, which is under... Real meaning of prakrti is a woman or a female
- Prakrti means woman, naturally a woman is under the control of the man. That is our Vedic system, and natural system also. However the woman may claim equal rights, they are under the control of the man. That is natural
- Pranipata means you must have the qualification to, at least, to find out a person who is actually qualified to give you real instruction. That you have to do. That remains on you
- Pratyaksa, direct perception. Pratyaksa, anumana and sruti. Anumana means I cannot see directly, but by the symptoms I can imagine
- Pravrtti and nivrtti means which one, which path, we shall take and which path we shall reject. That they (demons) do not know
- Pravrtti means here in this material world, anyone who has come, beginning from Lord Brahma down to the small ant, they have come on account of pravrtti, means for enjoying sense
- Pravrtti-marga means he has got intention, desire for material enjoyment. So he's regulated, "Do like this," so that he may come to the point of nivrtti-marga
- Pravrttim ca nivrttim ca na viduh asura-jana (BG 16.7). They do not know it. Still, they become leaders. They do not know in which way people should be directed, and still they claim to be public leaders
- Prescribed duties according to qualification, position, occupation, that is called karma. And just opposite, it is called vikarma
- Present civilization is misleading. They are concerned with a few years' so-called enjoyment
- Present problem is not problem. We are eternal. Our problem is eternal
- Preya means immediately very palatable. That is called preya. And sreya means ultimately good. Suppose if you take some palatable foodstuff, it may be very palatable to you . . . there are many example. Just like smoking
- Pride means if one is too much proud of his acquisition, either educational or material wealth, that means he is in the material platform. This very test
- Princely order, they are after sense enjoyment. So he's blessed that, - Better you live forever, because after your death, you do not know what is going to happen to you. You are going to get a hellish life
- Principle is that you try to understand that you are not this body. That is applicable in all time, all circumstances, all, for everyone. It is not that formerly one had to learn that he's not this body, and now that is not required
- Processes which generally the yogis demonstrate, that is the process of controlling the mind. The authorities of yoga practice, they say the yoga practice means to control the senses
- Professor Einstein was a great scientist, but he could not find out any means that instead of living for, eighty years, he could live eighty years, one day. No, that is not possible
- Proselytization has no meaning. To bring one to the real understanding. Krsna says that mamaivamso jiva-bhutah (BG 15.7). All living entities are His part and parcel
- Prostitute is necessity. Otherwise these rascals, they will pollute all the woman. Therefore, for the rascals there must be some provision
- Prthivite ache yata naga . . . (CB Antya-khanda 4.126). All over the world, as many villages and towns are there, preach. But this paramahamsa says, "No, no. I cannot go beyond Vrndavana." Kali-yuga's paramahamsa
- Psychic phenomena is the subtle materialism. There are two material conditions: one gross, one subtle. Gross condition is created by the five elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether. And the subtle elements are mind, intelligence and false ego
- Public leader, he must be also above suspicion. Brahmin means priest also. He must be above suspicion. And the king must be above suspicion. Then things will go on. But there is no such restriction
- Purana means supplementary. Ordinary person, they cannot understand the Vedic language. Therefore from historical references these Vedic principles are taught. That is called Purana
- Pure existence is eternal life, blissfulness and knowledge, full of knowledge. That is pure life. So the human life is meant for purifying our existence
- Puri - another of my Godbrothers. He was duplicate number one. So he was appointed acarya. Whatever he may be, Guru Maharaja never designated any acarya. And the Sridhara Maharaja, he was the principal man to support him
- Purify yourself by this transcendental vibration, Hare Krsna. Try to chant always, kirtaniyah sada (Siksastaka 3). This is the beginning of spiritual life, and this is the end of spiritual life
- Puruna means the enjoyer. Everyone of us sitting in this hall, we have got different mentality to enjoy differently, different dress, different mentality, different opinion, because everyone of us we are individual
- Purusa means both men and women, because everyone has got the spirit, "I shall enjoy." Therefore he is described as purusa
- Purusa means men, and bhagavat-purusa, the men who are engaged in the service of the Vaisnavas, they are also bhagavat-purusa. They have no other business than to execute the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Purusa means the enjoyer. And prakrti means enjoyed. For enjoyment two things are required: one enjoyer, and the other enjoyed. When we eat something, the eater is the enjoyer and the foodstuff is enjoyed
- Purusadaih means the cannibals and the man-eaters. Still there are. "Unscrupulous men" also can be drawn. But purusadaih means the man-eaters
- Purusottama is the Supreme Person, and the Supreme Person by His expansion as the Supersoul is present in everyone's heart. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam. He's guiding, as friend
- Push this scientific movement, go to every university, every college. How they are receiving now in the college circles
- Putana, a demoness, she, in the dress of a very nice girl, approached Yasodamayi because she was the agent of Kamsa. Kamsa was searching out to kill Krsna
- Putting different theories, philosophical speculations, will not solve the problems of the world, because not only during this age, but in all other ages also, there are different philosophers, different scriptures. That is the law of this material nature
Q
- Qualification of brahmana can be fully attained if one becomes Vaisnava. Vaisnava is transcendental even to the brahmana. Sa gunan samatityaitan brahma-bhuyaya kalpate. He becomes transcendental to the stage of all the three modes of material nature
- Qualified means they (Europeans, Americans) have given up meat-eating, illicit sex, intoxication, gambling. And work: they're chanting Hare Krsna mantra, they're worshiping in the temple, they're thinking of Krsna, they're devotee of Krsna. This is karma
- Quantitatively different - atma, Paramatma, and qualitatively one - atma is spirit, Paramatma is spirit. It is called acintya-bhedabheda-tattva, simultaneously one and different. One in quality, different in quantity
R
- Radha-krsna bolo, sange calo, ei-matra bhikha cai (from Gitavali), this Bhaktivinoda's, - You simply chant Hare Krsna and come with me. This much I want. I don't want anything else
- Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, after all, by some tricks - after all, he was very intelligent, rich man's son - he went away to Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And his mother was advising to his father that - Why don't you handcuff this boy?
- Raja means king and rsi means saintly person. So either the rsis did know or the kings did know (Bhagavad-gita). Or a king who is not less than a rsi, he could know and he could rule over. That is the Vedic injunction
- Raja, he must be just like Maharaja Yudhisthira, Maharaja Pariksit, Lord Ramacandra, Maharaja Ambarisa. They are rajarsi. They are saintly persons, but they are governor. Such persons should understand
- Rajarsayah means king, ksatriya, with qualification of brahmana. Although he is king, he is not brahmana, but he has got the qualification of brahmana
- Rajo-guna means activities for sense enjoyment. So rajo-guna, just like the karmis, they are working hard day and night. What is the purpose? Sex, that's all
- Rama is enjoyer. Ramante yogino 'nante. Yogis, they want eternal enjoyment. Here in this material world you can enjoy something for some few minutes or few hours, but if you want eternal enjoyment, ramana, then Rama
- Rama was accepted as incarnation. Krsna was accepted as incarnation. In every home, there is Rama and Krsna worship. Not this Ramakrishna. Neither any acarya accepts him
- Ramananda Raya was feeling a little agitation, - How is that? I am a grhastha, not even born in high brahmana family. I am engaged in politics, I am governor, and He (Lord Caitanya) is a sannyasi. How is that He is asking question and I am replying?
- Ramananda Raya, he was very learned, although he was not born in a brahmana family. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu was taking lessons from him. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, - Anyone who knows the science of Krsna, he becomes a guru
- Ramanujacarya, Visnu Svami, Madhvacarya, Nimbarka - there are four Vaisnava sampradayas. So they were all sannyasis. Now, directly, our sampradaya is Madhva-Gaudiya-sampradaya. Gaudiya-sampradaya means the Vaisnavas of the Bengal
- Rape means without consent, sex. Otherwise there is no rape
- Rascals, they are wanting peace. All rascal, rogues. And why they have become rascals, rogues? For want of God consciousness. They do not know that it is God's property, falsely thinking, - My property
- Read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly, and be sincere and make your life successful. Don't be cheater. Read and follow, and Krsna will help you, this life. Don't expect another life to prepare
- Read Bhagavad-gita very carefully. Don't misinterpret. That has killed our culture
- Real activity means to elevate yourself. That is called karma
- Real business of human life is to understand the spirit soul, and so far the material body is concerned, just like seasonal changes, we feel pains and pleasure
- Real conception of life is aham brahmasmi: "I am the spirit soul, part and parcel of Krsna." That is called self-realization
- Real detachment means that everything belongs to Krsna. So you have no proprietorship. That is detachment. If you falsely claim, "It is mine," that is attachment, unnecessary. It is not yours
- Real dharma, means to abide by the orders of God. But they do not know what is God. They do not know what is the order of God. Of course, there are scriptures, but we have to know
- Real duty in the human form of life is here is a chance whether you want to go to back to home, back to Godhead, or again you want to go to hell, the repetition of birth and death. That is your choice
- Real duty is Krsna consciousness. That is normal duty. All, all other duties are abnormal duties, crazy duties. Just like pagala, they're all crazy
- Real ego is "I am servant of Krsna." So there is no necessity of giving up egotism or egoism, but it must be real. At the present moment we are falsely thinking, "I am this body," every one of us. There is no argument
- Real enjoyment is beyond these senses.That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Sukham atyantikam yat tat. The real happiness is not by these gross senses. By transcendental senses, we can enjoy real happiness
- Real eye is the sun, because without sunshine we cannot see. In this planet or any planet you go, as soon as there is sunshine you can see; otherwise you cannot see
- Real father can say: "I am the father." Who can challenge him? Father is one. Who can? Nobody can say: "No, you are not father, he's father." No. The real father is father. Father cannot be replaced
- Real happiness means when we come to the platform to be engaged in Krsna's activities, tapo divyam putraka yena. Then you will get eternal happiness
- Real medicine does not require a show bottle. If one can chant purified offenseless once krsna-nama, he is free from all material bondage. Once only
- Real perfection of life is without designation. And that is the real, constitutional position
- Real position is we living entities, are eternal servant of God. As soon as we forget this formula, we are in the material existence. And as soon as we revive this original consciousness, that is called spiritual platform. Therefore we are propagating KC
- Real problem is not this temporary problem that we are in such-and-such distressed condition. But real problem is, as Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi-duhkha-dosanudarsanam
- Real purpose is how one will take to spiritual consciousness, or Krsna consciousness. Keeping one's aim to that point. Some concession may be given as far as possible, keeping pace with the time, circumstances
- Real purpose is to make him detached from this material attraction and make him promoted apavargyasya, how to get out of this material miserable condition of life. This is called dharmasya hy apavargyasya
- Real purpose of life is not dharma, artha, kama, moksa. And that will be explained here, jivasya tattva-jijnasa: What is the Absolute Truth, what is the aim of life. Then this is the process. Adau sraddha tatah sadhu-sango 'tha bhajana-kriya
- Real religious principle means to abide by the laws of the Supreme Lord, God. But they do not believe in God
- Real thing is mistaken. He is accepting this body as self, or he is thinking that, "The bodily comforts will make me happy." But that cannot be, because the body is made of matter, and we are spirit soul
- Real Vedanta is Srimad-Bhagavatam, because this is commentary. Bhasya ayam brahma-sutranam (Garuda Purana). Brahma-sutra is Vedanta
- Real yoga means to connect your relationship, your identity, with Krsna. That is called yoga
- Real yogis can remain without breathing for days together. That means the days he does not breathe, so much time saved: he increases his life
- Recently one cardiologist, a doctor, he has accepted that there is soul - in Montreal and Toronto. I had some correspondence with him. And he is strongly in belief that there is soul. So that is another point of view
- Recently we have received their picture, how nicely they're looking, the children. Children, they're innocent. If you want to kill, you can kill; if you want to train him just like a perfect man, you can train him
- Recently, within, two thousand years, there have been many acaryas like Sankaracarya, Madhvacarya, Nimbarka, Ramanujacarya. They have all accepted Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Reformatory process is meant for purifying him so he becomes mukta-sangah. Mukta-sangah means liberated from all this bad association of material existence
- Regularly going to the church, regularly going to the mosque or temple, but the love is for material things, not for God. How I get money, how I get motorcar, how I get dog, how I get nice wife, how I get nice . . . the love is here
- Relatives require some money - they also expect from father some money, "All right you take also some money." But not that whole thing goes to the relatives and nothing to Krsna. No
- Religion based on philosophy and logic, that is religion. So that combination is Bhagavad-gita
- Religion is a kind of faith. That they describe. But religion is also not a blind faith. Religion means the order of God. That is religion. Dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam - SB 6.3.19
- Religion means also science. But they have taken religion as faith, "I believe." Religion means, actually, religion means . . . just like in the dictionary you find. Religion means to learn how to obey the supreme controller. That is religion
- Religion means the law given by Krsna, or God. That is religion. Otherwise, it is not religion. That is cheating. Dharmah projjhita-kaitavo 'tra (SB 1.1.2). This is cheating religion. If you do not follow Krsna, that is cheating
- Religion means to abide by the laws of God. In the Sanskrit language it is said, dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam (SB 6.3.19). Dharma, or religion, means the codes of God
- Religion means to abide by the orders of God. It may be a little different from one country to another. Just like in the political state management also, it is not exactly the same. But the obedience to the state is everywhere
- Religion means to know God and love Him. But generally, a man does not know what is God, and what to speak of loving Him? So therefore that is cheating religion. That is not religion
- Religion means to know the real law. That is religion. If you do not know the definition of religion, this is it
- Religion without philosophical basis, without scientific basis, is sentiment. But religion based on philosophy and science, that is right. So Bhagavad-gita is that book. Any question, any inquiry, any doubt - all the answers are there, and very nicely
- Religious means that is the beginning of human life. If one is not religious, then he is animal. Dharmena hinah pasubhih samanah
- Religious means to become chaste, faithful to the husband. And the husband should become a devotee. Then both of them will make progress in Krsna consciousness, and that is the perfection of life
- Remain in your place, but giving aural reception to the Krsna message, you become a devotee. That is our Krsna consciousness movement
- Remain in your position. But, but try to hear from the proper source, and try to understand. That will make you so strong that, Krsna is ajita, unconquerable, but you will conquer Him. Ajito 'pi, jito 'py asi, He becomes conquered
- Rendering devotional service to the SPG. That is first-class religion. Bhakti-yogo bhagavati tan-nama-grahanadibhih. Tan-nama. And how it begins? "Simply by chanting His holy name." These are the authoritative statements of Yamaraja
- Report of the brahmanas, the police came and broke these drums. It was not the fault of the Muhammadans. The brahmanas lodged complaint against Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So he has to take step
- Representative goes to secure business door to door. Somebody purchases, somebody does not. So that is not the representative's concern. Similarly, our concern is that we shall dedicate our life to preach this KC movement all over the world
- Representative means one who is strictly following the principle adopted by Sukadeva Gosvami. Just like Sukadeva Gosvami first of all spoke Srimad-Bhagavatam before Maharaja Pariksit, and in that meeting, Suta Gosvami was present
- Restlessness is there because we are searching after that eternal happiness. We are trying to find out in one place, and when it is finished we try to go to another place
- Ripened fruit, the experienced contribution (Srimad-Bhagavatam) of Vyasadeva, all the Vedic literatures, but when it is spoken through the parampara system of Sukadeva Gosvami, it becomes still sweeter
- Rotating means it must turn. Because sunshine is very great, and all other planets they are very small. So as soon as it is rotating, it must come to be face of the sunshine
- Rsabhadeva addressed His sons, sons, "My dear boys," that - if you want perpetual, eternal happiness, nonbreaking happiness, then you try to purify your existence, and for that, you try to accept some austerity
- Rsabhadeva advised that, - If you want eternal pleasure, eternal happiness, then you do not try to misuse your this valuable body simply for meeting the demands like cats and dogs
- Rsabhadeva is advising His other sons - that bharatam bhajadhvam - You just be obedient to Bharata. Don't try to rule independently, because if you follow the principles of Bharata Maharaja, that will satisfy the citizens, not ruling over independently
- Rupa Gosvami is the direct disciple of Lord Caitanya. When he retired from his service - he was government minister - oh, he brought home golden coins, full, a boat full, full of gold. Now, just imagine how much the amount was
- Rupa Gosvami says that in everything there is relationship with Krsna. Hari-sambandhi-vastunah. So why shall I reject it? I am concerned with Hari, Krsna; therefore anything belongs to Krsna, I am also interested
- Rupa Gosvami says that, "You purchase at any price." But what is that price? Tatra laulyam ekalam mulyam. Laulyam, eagerness. That is price. That is the only qualification
- Rupa Gosvami says, "You are the greatest of all charitable persons, because You are offering the greatest boon." Krsna-prema-pradaya te (CC Madhya 19.53) - You are offering love of Krsna, which will get me to the kingdom of Krsna
- Rupa Gosvami, he was prime minister in the government. He gave up such exalted post as minister of the government, chief minister in the government
S
- Sac, cid, ananda - three, three spiritual divisions. Not division actually; they are one. But for our understanding we analyze in that way, sac, cid, ananda
- Sacrifice means my senses dictate that "You enjoy," but I am not enjoying. I am not enjoying. This is sacrifice
- Sad-dharma-samsthapakau: just to establish real religious principle, nana-sastra-vicaranaika-nipunau, with scrutinizing thinking over and giving to the people. This is Gosvamis' business
- Sadaiva means "always." Sada eva, sadaiva. Who sees? Now, one who is devotee, one who is fully absorbed in love of Godhead, premanjana-cchurita, or whose eyes are anointed with love of Godhead. Not this eye
- Sadhana-siddha means those who are put into this material world, by the association of maha-bhagavata, if he tries, follows, then he can also become maha-bhagavata or nitya-siddha, because originally everyone is nitya-siddha
- Sadhu is always in good habit. But due to past practice, sometimes we may see some discrepancy. You can find out some fault. But Krsna says that, "Never mind there is some fault. Still, he is sadhu." "Why?" - He has taken Me as everything
- Sadhu is described in the Bhagavad-gita by the Lord Himself, who is sadhu. He said, api cet su-duracaro bhajate mam ananya-bhak, sadhur eva sa mantavyah - BG 9.30
- Sadhu is equally disposed to all living entities - not only human society; animal society
- Sadhu is representative of Krsna. Sadhu will never say that, "You serve me." Sadhu will say: "Serve Krsna." Therefore we have to approach Krsna through sadhu, not directly
- Sadhu is suhrdah sarva-dehinam. Sarva-dehinam means all living entities in all forms of life
- Sadhu is titiksava. He has to tolerate so many things, criticism, opposing elements. Because sadhu cannot sit down idly. Bhajate mam ananya-bhak. He is engaged fully in Krsna's service
- Sadhu means a pious man or a religious man. Sadhu means the honest man and all good qualities. Still, although he is found that he is not to the standard, but his only qualification is that he is acting in Krsna consciousness sincerely
- Sadhu means saintly person. Sastra means revealed scriptures. Sadhu, sastra and guru, spiritual master. So we must follow the footprints of saintly person, mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). That is the way
- Sadhu means very tolerant. In another place, sadhu is described in the Bhagavad-gita: bhajate mam ananya-bhak sadhur eva sa mantavyah - engaged in devotional service without deviation, he is certainly to be considered a saint
- Sadhu means who is trying to make others sadhu. He is sadhu. Krsna likes such sadhu, as He has described in the last portion of Bhagavad-gita
- Sadhu, saintly person, or a spiritual master or the scripture, what do they advise? As it has been stated, that by the instruction of saintly person, by the instruction of spiritual master, one gets out of this kicking problem
- Sadhu, this Sanskrit word, is meant for the devotees, the lover of Krsna. That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gita: sadhur eva sa mantavyah
- Sadhu-sanga is so essential. And sadhu's symptoms are described. And suhrdah. Suhrdah, we have already explained. Suhrdah means well-wisher for everyone
- Sadyo hrdy avarudhyate, susrusubhis tat-ksanat. Susrusubhih, those who are serious about understanding about the Supreme Absolute Truth, so for him, immediately God becomes entrapped within the heart
- Sagunasya brahmanah, these twenty-five elements, they cover him - that means the living entity who has come in this material world. But Kapiladeva or Krsna, Bhagavan, He is not saguna; He is always nirguna
- Saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktas, in every sastra it is said the guru is God, Krsna. So it is stated in the sastra and it is accepted by authorities. Not that it is simply stated. Samasta-sastrair, ukta
- Saksad-dharitvena, as Krsna is accepted in every sastra, saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair uktah, it is said, uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih, and this statement is accepted by advanced devotees. It is not only statement, but it is accepted
- Samah means equal to all living entities, to see the spirit soul. It doesn't matter whether he is man or cat or dog or tree or ant or insect or big man. They are all parts and parcel of God. They are simply dressed differently
- Samah sarvesu bhutesu means that every one of us, we are servant of God. That is ekatvam. Ekatvam anupasyati. Anu means always. Anu means following the authority
- Samah sarvesu bhutesu: he can see everyone on equal vision. Because he knows, - Here is also another living entity. He is not a Chinaman. He is a part and parcel of God. He is not a Christian. He is not a Hindu. He is simply thinking like that
- Samskara-varjita means sudra. In this age nobody observes the samskaras. Therefore in the sastra it is said, kalau sudra-sambhavah (Skanda Purana). In the Kali-yuga almost every person is a sudra. Therefore there is so much chaos
- Sanatana Gosvami approached Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, asking Him the question, - What I am? Why I am put into these threefold miserable condition of life
- Sanatana Gosvami is acarya, direct disciple of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is taking shelter. He has already taken; therefore he said, krpa kari' yadi more kariyacha uddhara. He's already, he knows
- Sanatana Gosvami is giving us the example. Apana-krpate kaha 'kartavya' amara. Kartavya means duty. - Now what is my duty? I have left my so-called duty, ministership. Now I am interested in my real duty, so kindly speak to me what is my duty
- Sanatana Gosvami is putting that, "What is my position? I think that I am very learned man, I am born of very aristocratic family and so on, so on, but actually, I do not know what I am, what is my position." This is pariprasna, inquiry
- Sanatana Gosvami would give decision among their family quarrel also. So dhiradhira-jana-priyau. These ordinary men (village people of Vrndavan), they were not saintly person, but they were devoted to Sanatana Gosvami. Therefore their life was successful
- Sanatana Gosvami, he is by his practical example, he said that one should go and enquire from the spiritual master that "Why I am in this condition of life, always suffering?" Tri-tapa yatana
- Sanatana Gosvami, our predecessor, Caitanya Mahaprabhu's direct disciple, he gives his direction that - Do not hear from a person who is not a Vaisnava
- Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami, they were originally brahmin . . . but they fell down on account of this association. And formerly, they accepted service
- Sanatana Gosvami, when he approached Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he inquired this "Why?" Ke ami, kene amaya jare tapa-traya (CC Madhya 20.102). "Who am I? Why I am put into this miserable condition of life?" That is intelligence
- Sanjaya was relaying the fight in the battlefield, and Dhrtarastra was blind. Just like television. So he was seeing the fight from the heart. It means there is still more finer science, that you don't require machine to see it by television
- Sankara-sampradaya, they ascertain the Absolute Truth as impersonal, nirvisesa, and the Buddhists, they ascertain, - The Absolute Truth is zero
- Sankara-sampradaya, they perform very austere penance and principles. They take three times bath at least, three times. And no clothing; simply one loincloth
- Sankaracarya age is about one thousand, five hundred years. Similarly, Ramanujacarya about eleven hundred years; Madhvacarya about seven hundred years. In this way they are coming from that parampara system
- Sankaracarya was covered devotee. His aim was to bring men to the standard of devotional service, but the time and circumstances in which he was preaching, he could not place his real object because they were unable to understand
- Sankaracarya, although he is impersonalist, he says, narayanah parah avyaktat: "Narayana is beyond this cosmic manifestation. He's transcendental." That means he says He's person. Narayana, as soon as Narayana, the Personality of Godhead
- Sankaracarya, from whom we differ in philosophical discussion . . . not very much different - so far the procedure is concerned, the regulative principles are concerned, they are all the same
- Sannyasa order is the topmost order in social division. So whatever he may be - the only qualification, if he knows the science of Krsna, he becomes spiritual master
- Sannyasi does not mean simply changing the dress and thinking otherwise. No. Sannyasi, anyone, it does not matter whether the dress is changed or not, if one is fully engaged by his body, mind and words
- Santah, saintly persons, or mahatma, they develop by hearing about God constantly. They develop love of God. That is the aim of life. That is the real purpose of human life
- Sarva-dharman - You just surrender unto Me. Because your original creation is meant for serving Me
- Sarva-dharman parityajya (BG 18.66). You have manufactured so many duties. That duties means you are manufacturing so many bodies. That's all
- Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). This is vasudevasya. "You simply surrender unto Me." That is real mata. Everyone is surrendered
- Sarva-dugham mahi. So nature will supply you sufficiently, provided you follow ideal life. Otherwise nature will punish you. There will be no supply
- Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya told that, "You become my guest, you, all of you." And he gave them places. Then . . . Caitanya Mahaprabhu was only twenty-four years old, and Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, he was old man, about sixty years old
- Sarvasya means everything, the Supersoul. Sarvasya ca aham. Krsna says: "I," hrdi, "in the heart." When it is called hrdi, that means living entity. Without living entity, there cannot be any heart
- Sarvatmana, this word is very important. The Krsna also asks when He said that, "Giving up all other kinds of engagement of religious process, simply surrender unto Me." That is called sarvatmana
- Sastra has some rules and regulations when number of intoxication and meat eating people increase, then mother earth suffers the heavy weight. Sastras says that we must reject these kinds of sinful activities
- Sastra means weapon, and sastra means the law books. So what is the law book? Law book means some authority which has given the law
- Sastra says - unless you surrender to Krsna, Hari, there is no question of salvation
- Sastra says that every living entity is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. Everyone has seen the tip of the hair, but he has no idea how to divide it into ten thousand part
- Sastra says that simply by understanding that "This is false, and I'll have to become away from these false engagements," so without knowledge of Krsna, such elevators, they become impersonalists and voidists, to make negative this material enjoyment
- Sastra says, "You have got this human form of life after many, many millions of years' waiting." So do not misuse it. That is Vedic civilization, not to misuse the human form of life
- Sastra says, - Don't waste your valuable time in that way. Try to understand God. Use your intelligence for this purpose
- Sastra says, andha yathandhair upaniyamanah (SB 7.5.31). The andha - means blind, blind leaders - they are giving us false hope that we shall make here permanent settlement. Therefore they are called andhas. They have no sense
- Sastra says, kalau sudra-sambhavah: "In this age, Kali-yuga, mostly all of them are sudras." No brahmin, no ksatriya, no vaisya, according to qualification
- Sastra says, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam (SB 1.3.28). So we have to follow these mahajana. Otherwise we cannot get the right knowledge. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (Cc. Madhya 17.186). We have to follow great authorities
- Sastra-guru-atma-rupe apanare janana. So Krsna, or the Supreme Lord, is always anxious to revive the memory of these forgotten souls, conditioned souls. Now, how He revives? He revives in sastra. Sastra means scripture
- Sat means eternity, and cit means full of knowledge, and ananda means full of joy. These are the qualifications of God and living entity. Therefore we are hankering after pleasure
- Sat-sanga means persons who are making progress towards the permanent life. Just like this Krsna consciousness movement
- Sattva means also goodness. Sattva-nidheh. Here in this material world there is the modes of nature: goodness, passion and ignorance. But real goodness is in the spiritual world
- Sattva-guna is the stage of brahmana, rajo-guna is the stage of ksatriya, and tamo-guna is the stage of sudra, and mixed together is the stage of vaisya. Vaisya has mixed quality; and pure sattva-guna, brahmana; pure rajo-guna, ksatriya
- Satya-yuga means people are all very advanced in spiritual life. Treta-yuga means one-fourth sinful, three-fourths pious. Dvapara-yuga means half and half. Kali-yuga means one-fourth pious. When Kali-yuga will be finished, again Satya-yuga will come
- Satya-yuga means perfect age. Then Treta-yuga - one-fourth less of perfection. And then Dvapara-yuga - half less; and Kali-yuga - three-fourth less. Three-fourth bad elements and one-fourth good elements. That is also very rare
- Satyakam went to Gautama Muni for initiation. So formerly the spiritual master will not accept anybody as disciple if he is not born in a brahmin family. So he was asked, "Who is your father?" So he could not give his father's name
- Saucam means inward cleanliness and outward cleanliness. Inside, we should be pure, purely thinking, no contamination. We should not think anyone as my enemy, - Everyone is friend
- Saucam, cleanliness. There are two kinds of cleanliness: external and internal. External cleanliness by taking bath with soap and other cleansing material
- Sauri, one who is learned, Hari-sauri, one who is learned in the science of Krsna. So try to be a learned scholar in Krsna science and deliver the whole world
- Say for a hundred years the changing is going on. Then, after that, when he changes this body, then there is daiva-netrena, the judgment - What kind of body should be awarded this living entity
- SB is written by Vyasadeva after writing four Vedas and the eighteen Puranas, the 108 Upanisads, then Vedanta-sutra and Mahabharata, in which Bhagavad-gita is set up. So after compiling all these Vedic literatures Vyasadeva was not satisfied
- Scientifically try to understand what is God. And if you consult Vedic literature you'll get very accurate, scientific, authentic information
- Scientists are making research "What is the truth beyond this? Beyond this? Beyond this?" When they come to the point of this pure consciousness, that is the highest grade of scientific knowledge
- Second World War was in 1939. That was also German and Englishmen, like that. But actually, this was also World War, this Battlefield of Kuruksetra, because all the kings of the world, they joined either this party or that party
- Second-class? Those who are trying to understand the Supreme, the Absolute Truth, by identifying himself with the Supreme, that - I am, I am the Supreme
- Self-realization does not mean something humbug. Self-realization means to understand his real constitutional position, what I am
- Self-realization means to know that, "I am not this body, but I have been put into this body because I desired." That is higher self-realization
- Sena-pati means these two brothers, Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, were appointed as the commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief in this fighting with maya
- Senses may dictate me... We are... Now, at the present moment, we are all servants of senses
- Separate times we become religious for being promoted to higher standard of life - economic development, big big scheme, plans, how to make very gorgeous city, buildings, roads, cars, slaughterhouse, scientific, how to cut throat very scientifically
- Service is being rendered to mistaken places; therefore we are not happy, neither the person whom we are serving, they are happy. This is the position. But as soon as you serve Krsna, Syamasundara, then you become happy, the whole world becomes happy
- Service we must give. That is our constitutional position. But that service is meant for rendering to the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Sevate means there is activities. It is not stoppage of activities. Sevate. Sevate means giving service. Giving service is not stopping activities. But that is a different type of activities, healthy activities
- Seven months the consciousness returns back, and the child wants to come out. Therefore it moves, it feels inconvenient
- Seven months' unconscious stage within the womb of the mother. After seven months, the consciousness revives
- Seven months, at that time the body is grown up, and in this way in tenth month the body is fully grown, then by nature’s way the body comes out and another life begins. This is called transmigration of the soul
- Several times I have discussed this point, that a big tree, if you have to pour water, then you have to pour water on the root
- 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
- Several times we have described this, that two birds are sitting in the same tree. The two birds means one, the Supersoul, and other, the individual living entity
- Several times we have discussed this point, that this hand, this work of my hand, is a kind of energy of my body. Now, this hand is meant for working for this body. Similarly, mamaivamso jiva-bhutah jiva-loke sanatanah - BG 15.7
- Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Jihvadau. Jihvadau means "Beginning with the tongue." We have got senses, all senses - eyes, ears, touch - so many senses. But begin with the sense, tongue. Try to control the tongue and engage in Krsna's service
- Sex intercourse in the human form of life and the sex intercourse of the dog on the street, the taste is the same. Taste is not changed
- Sex intercourse should be not against the religious principle. Therefore illicit sex life is forbidden in our Society. Sex should be utilized only for begetting nice children, not for any other purpose
- Sex life should be minimized as far as possible. Therefore we have got this restriction, - No illicit sex
- Sex life with wife should be performed only for begetting a Krsna conscious child. Nothing more. No more attraction. That life is better. That life means not only better; that is the ideal life
- Sex life, we don't say . . . that you cannot do, nobody can do. Therefore sex life means married life, a little concession. A license, "All right, you take this license." But not illicit sex. Then you'll never be able
- She (Anandamayi) is simply exploiting some women's sentiments, by giving them some deity and crying. And woman, they're simple. This way, she wanted to captivate donors
- She (Devahuti) never said that "I am king's daughter. I was raised in so opulent condition of life. Now I have got a husband who cannot give me a nice apartment, nice food. Divorce him." No. That was never done. That is not the position
- She (Devahuti) thinks herself, because woman, yosa, durbodham. So she is accepting her son as guru and very submissively, and she wants to understand the very difficult subject matter very easily by the grace of Kapiladeva
- She (Devahuti) was the daughter of the emperor of the higher planetary system, Manu, Vaivasvata Manu. The Vaivasvata Manu's name you have heard in the Bhagavad-gita: imam vivasvate yogam
- She (Devahuti) was troubled in so many ways because she was princess, daughter of king, and this yogi (Kardama Muni), he was in a cottage, no food, no shelter, nothing of the sort. So she had to suffer
- She (Kunti) got Maharaja Yudhisthira from Dharmaraja, Arjuna from Indra, and Bhima from Varuna, Vayu, yes. Similarly, still she is one of the chaste women. These things are there. But still, they are not polluted
- She (Kunti) is authority, because devotee, every devotee, pure devotee, they are confidential. Otherwise how Krsna has accepted to become her nephew?
- She (my disciple, Janne) was a very reputed artist in Australia. She was earning hundreds and thousands of dollars, but she has given up everything. Now she is Jagat-tarani: she is delivering the world by dancing with Krsna consciousness
- She (Rukmini-devi) is Laksmi-devi, and she was always afraid of Krsna that, "He may not leave me away." Always afraid
- She (the illusory energy) wants to test, "How much this person is sincere?" So there will be so many allurement offered by the material energy
- She has got the tendency to become a perfect devotee. As a father and mother you should not hamper it. Because it is not easy to become a devotee
- She is Krsna. If everything is Krsna and Radharani is not Krsna, what is that? She is Krsna. She is the Krsna's pleasure potency
- She is trained up. Then she becomes a very good housewife, takes care of household affairs, husband, children, and home becomes happy. What is this nonsense, divorce? There is no such thing in the Vedic civilization, divorce
- Should be our aim, that in this very life we shall make our devotional service so perfect, and we shall try to know Krsna as far as possible, so that Krsna says such devotee does not accept any more material body. He comes back in a spiritual body
- Show something, Bhagavan. They simply cheap Bhagavan, and rascal present as cheap Bhagavan, and rascal accept them as Bhagavan. This is not good. Try to find out the actual Bhagavan. That is Krsna
- Siddhi means perfection. So this life is meant for perfection. What is perfection? Perfection means that we do not want miserable condition of life, and we have to get out of it. That is perfection
- Simple thing. Chant Hare Krsna, dance, and take krsna-prasadam. And if you are not educated, you are illiterate, hear. Just you have got natural gift, ear. You have got natural tongue
- Simply a long duration dream. Do you think this skyscraper building will stay? Nothing will stay. It may stay for five hundred years or five thousand years, but is it not permanent
- Simply a sentiment will not help. Therefore a religion must be based on philosophy, and my spiritual master used to say this, that - Philosophy without religion is mental speculation, and religion without philosophy is sentimentality
- Simply by being a member of the Society, being situated, is not all. He has to keep himself always alert in the principles. Then he is all right. Otherwise he is fallen down
- Simply by Brahman realization, you cannot stay on the platform of understanding that, "I am not this body." You'll fall down again. You'll fall down again and accept this body, - Yes, I am this body
- Simply by chanting "Narayana," immediately from Vaikuntha the servants of Narayana came, and they saved him from the hands of Yamaduta
- Simply by chanting "water, water," you cannot quench your thirst. You must have the substance water. That is material sound. Anything you take, simply by chanting the name, you will not get the thing. That is material
- Simply by his changing the rubber stamp, "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," "I am Christian," that does not make any benefit. Therefore our Movement is Krsna consciousness. We don't talk of any religion. The consciousness should be changed
- Simply by knowing (science of God). "For him the profit is that after giving up this body, he hasn't got to take birth again in this material form." Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti - He comes directly to Me
- Simply by Krsna consciousness, always thinking of Krsna, all your senses will be purified. This is the process. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. And you can begin service with your tongue
- Simply by passing the examination, if he sits down at home, then he cannot be called a medical practitioner. He must work as a medical man
- Simply by pronouncing this transcendental vibration (Yah smaret pundarikaksam), one becomes so purified that immediately he becomes eligible to operate sacrificial, ritualistic ceremonies
- Simply by question-answer (about Krsna), you feel satisfaction. And when you understand, oh, you feel the supreme satisfaction, the bliss
- Simply by rubber-stamping religion . . . that has happened at the present moment. Nobody knows what is meant by religion. And this is the essence of religion: to surrender to God
- Simply by rubber-stamping, harijana? No. Here, what we are doing, it is not rubber-stamp. It is actually training according to the pancaratriki-vidhi
- Simply by rubber-stamping, how one can become devotee? That is not possible. Without going the pancaratriki-vidhi, they remain the same unclean drunkard and the all nonsense habits
- Simply by saying that "I am in commune with God," no. There is test. The test means if he is always in touch with God, he'll become, in his characteristics, godly. One of the qualification is serenity
- Simply by understanding - even not engaging yourself in transcendental service of the Lord - simply by understanding the process of appearance and disappearance. So why don't you try that
- Simply by understanding Krsna, one becomes automatically liberated from this material entanglement. A Krsna conscious person hasn't got to make separate endeavor and attempt to become liberated
- Simply by your service attitude, to serve Krsna, beginning with the tongue. It is very wonderful. But utilizing your tongue, you can achieve Krsna very easily, by the tongue
- Simply dreaming I am getting one lakh of rupees, that is good, or actually, if you get five rupees, that is good? Which is good?
- Simply engaging tongue in the service of the Lord, I shall understand. - So this is also blind faith. But actually it is happening. Chant Hare Krsna and take prasadam. That's all

- Simply in school, colleges, in business, in assembly, in society there must be some discussion about God. Then it will be very much auspicious for all the world. There must be some question
- Simply it requires a purified mind, that "I shall execute it honestly." That much qualification is sufficient. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru (BG 18.65). This is Krsna's law and order
- Simply jnani, simply A-B-C-D knowledge, academic education, will not help. You must be jnani, at the same time, tattva-darsi. That tattva-darsana cannot be possible by mental speculation

- Simply stamping myself with some rubber stamp that, "I belong to this religion," "I belong to that religion," that will not help. That is cheating. You are cheating yourself
- Simply the preliminary faith, that is very good, but unless that faith is increased more and more, then there is no progress
- Simply to rise to the platform of Brahman, that is sat, partial realization of the Absolute Truth. Sat. Then cit. Cit means knowledge. That is also partial. Ananda. Sac-cid-ananda. When there . . . ananda you cannot get
- Simply to take birth in a big family or a high family is not all. One has to qualify himself and keep up the status, the tradition, of the family. Then he is all right
- Simply want to see that "Krsna is very satisfied by my service," that's all. This is pure devotion. So if you somehow or other become trained up to this pure devotional platform, then your problem is solved. All problem is solved
- Simply we are creating problems by godless civilization. That is a fact. Just take example from your country. You are constructing so many highways, freeways. Still, there is problem. Still there is, even in the highways, sometimes blocked

- So far as Indian philosophy is concerned, Vedanta Sutra is the topmost, and Srimad Bhagavatam is the natural commentary on Vedanta Sutra
- So far I know, Christian, there is consideration of hell and heaven. Somebody is going to hell, somebody's going to heaven. Is it not? After death
- So far knowing capacity is concerned, you are one with God. Because Krsna or God is cognizant, you are also cognizant. But you are cognizant with very limited sphere, and He is cognizant unlimitedly everywhere. That is the difference

- So far material condition, He (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) had His very affectionate mother. He was the only son of His mother; all brothers and sister died. And His wife Laksmi-priya died first, then He married, second time, Visnu-priya. So very happy life
- So far miseries from other living entities, we can take protection, we can defend ourself. But so far miseries offered by the demigods, daiva, there is no remedy
- So far nuclear weapon is concerned, so there is no much credit. Because it is a weapon for killing, death. Is it not? Not for that purpose?
- So far riches are concerned, Krsna showed that there is no second comparison in the whole history of the world that one is maintaining 16,000 wives and each wife has got special palace
- So far scriptures are concerned, there are also different scriptures. And a philosopher is not a philosopher if he does not agree other philosophers. So in this way, you are perplexed
- So far scriptures are concerned, there are different scriptures all over the world in the civilized society, but Bhagavad-gita, the Lord says that "The essence of all scripture is to understand my constitutional position." That's all
- So far scriptures are concerned, you'll find different scriptures describing in a different way. So that also, you'll be bewildered
- So far this Krsna consciousness movement, there is no need of analogy. It is accepted as truth, and Krsna is accepted as the SPG, and whatever He says is truth. There is no mistake, and if we carry that message, there is no mistake
- So far Vedic literature is concerned, God is person and accepted by the acaryas. We have to follow the acaryas; otherwise our own interpretation, our own tiny brain, we cannot conceive
- So far Vedic literatures are concerned, they are very much strict about association, free association of man and woman. They are very much strict. They have compared woman as fire and man as the pot of butter

- So far we are concerned, Krsna conscious men, we are not animals. We are perfect beings. We don't eat any living entity
- So far we are concerned, we are not killing anybody for eating purposes. We are eating krsna-prasada, foodstuff which is offered to Krsna, and then we eat. The remnants of foodstuff we eat

- So ham means "I am the same." But "I am the same" does not mean "I am the same Supreme." - I am the same in quality
- So long as we are part and parcel of Krsna, or the Supreme Lord, our duty is to give service. That is the description given by Lord Caitanya. Everywhere, in every sastra, jivera 'svarupa' haya-nitya-krsna-dasa. Eternally we are servant

- So long one will be engaged in sense enjoyment in different varieties, he will have to remain within this material world

- So long they are dancing, they are feeling happiness, su-sukham, very easy, and directly perceived connection with God

- So long we are within this material world, prakrti-stha, there is no question of enjoyment. It is false enjoyment
- So long we do not come to the platform of understanding that, "I am spirit soul; I am part and parcel of the Supreme Spirit," we are in the ignorance - in different forms
- So long we have got this body, we have to be seeking after eating, sleeping, mating and defending. But not that we shall waste our time simply for these four things. There is a fifth platform, which is brahma-jijnasa, inquiry about the Supreme
- So long we have got this material body, we have got particular type of occupational duty. We are preaching to the world not any occupational duty, but we are preaching eternal duty
- So long we have got this material body, we have to work. We cannot stop working. That is not possible
- So long we live, there are so many miserable conditions of life. This is called material existence
- So long we'll make program how to become happy materially, your mind being absorbed in material things, not in the spiritual matter, you'll have to accept another body. This is your problem

- So long you have to remain within this material world with material desires, then you have to change your body according to your desires, and there are 8,400,000 forms of bodies you have to accept. There is no guarantee
- So long you shall remain within this material world, you have to accept these four principles of material condition, that you'll have to die
- So long you want to enjoy this material world, you are in the material world. And as soon as you offer yourself to be enjoyed by Krsna as servant - according to His order you serve - then immediately you are in the spiritual world

- So many formulas (Tapasya, brahmacaryena. Samena, tyagena, Satya-saucabhyam. Yamena, niyamena va) there are. If you do not follow this, then there is no excuse. Nature will not excuse you, he'll put you always in trouble

- So many Mayavadi sannyasis, they give up, "This world is false," and they merge, so-called merge, but the mastership mentality is there

- So many paraphernalia how to engage your mind. Hearing and chanting about Krsna, thinking of Krsna, worshiping Krsna, talking about Krsna, writing about Krsna, selling the books about Krsna, eating Krsna prasadam. In this way you become Krsna-ized
- So many Ph.D.'s, they are loitering. Therefore they become Communists and this, what is called? Naxalites. Educated young boys, they have no job

- So many Vedas there are. And ultimately the knowledge is there, how to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth and how to get yourself liberated. That is . . . these are the subject matter of Vedas
- So many ways he (a man) is attracting. Therefore somebody is calling him "father," somebody "husband," somebody this, somebody this. So if there is one name (of God), that is Krsna, "all-attractive." He attracts all. This is the meaning of Krsna
- So men are being killed, sir. They are already dying. What you have manufactured? - But, "No, I have got Nobel Prize." "Why?" "I have invented something which will very quickly kill." That's all. Not slowly, but quickly. And he is offered Nobel Prize
- So nature can change at any time. At any time. You are not controller of nature. You are under the control of nature. That we forget. This is our illusion
- So suffering so big, great he cannot tolerate, therefore he sometimes commits suicide. Is that committing suicide is spiritual? Spiritual means negation of material distresses, that's a fact. But that is a different thing
- So the stage of Sukadeva Gosvami is atma-rati, self-satisfied, doesn't care for anything of the world. He is aloof from the world. We should not imitate Sukadeva Gosvami and become naked
- So this drama-playing is very good presentation for attracting their attention and displaying Krishna Consciousness very beautifully. Make everything very simple, without too much fancy costumes, and the real message will come out very nicely
- So what is the use of these rascal universities? If they are producing greedy and lusty people, then what is the use of education? Vidya dadati namrata. Education means everyone should be gentleman. That is education
- So what Sukadeva Gosvami did, that after assimilating the whole Vedic literature, he distributed it. That is another instinct. If you really have learned the essence of Vedic knowledge, automatically you'll be inclined to preach it
- So-called businessman, so-called scientist, so-called philosopher - everyone is mad. And kurute vikarma, all sinful activities, especially the slaughterhouse. Horrible. Everyone is taking share of these sinful activities
- So-called comfortable life for few years, and then becoming a dog and hog, a tree? It is possibility

- Some friend has sent you some money order. He (ordinary peon) gives you the paper, you sign, and he pays you. But if he pilfers the method, then he is no longer representative. He becomes thief, rogue. So representative of Krsna is also in the same way

- Some of them (sinful men) put into the river which is full of germs and mosquitoes, and some of them are forced to embrace a iron, hot iron man, a hot iron woman. In this way there are many description
- Some of them are busy to become religious. Of course, without religious life, there is no human society. Dharmena hina pasubhih samanah (Hitopadesa 25). Unless a society takes to religiosity, it is not human society
- Some of them are in the modes or quality of goodness, and some of them are in the quality of passion, and some of them are in the quality of ignorance

- Somebody challenges that "Why shall I believe in the Vedas? I must see." But everything is not possible to see. For example, the mother said to the son, "Here is your father." So you have to believe your mother; otherwise how you can see your father?

- Somebody is mistaking that "Real enjoyment, there cannot be any varieties. If there are varieties, then what is the difference between this and that?" So these varieties are different in quality. This is material quality, and that is spiritual quality
- Somebody is serving Krsna as animal. Somebody is serving Krsna as fruits and flowers, as tree, as Yamuna water, or the beautiful cowherds men and damsels or Krsna's father, mother, so many with Krsna. Krsna is not imperson. So He has got so many lovers
- Somebody is working very hard. Nobody is interested to work very hard for others. That is not the material philosophy. Everyone wants his own satisfaction, means sense gratification
- Somebody is, argue, that "This is written by some scholar or some learned person." No, Veda is not like that. Veda is coming directly from Narayana, and Narayana means God. God was existing before the creation

- Somebody, other living entity, he's giving me some trouble - just like the insects, mosquito, mouse, tiger or a bad man, neighbor, unnecessarily giving me trouble
- Somehow or other engage. If you cannot engage him, then let him simply eat. Engage him in eating, that's all. We are actually doing in the beginning, - Please come here and take some prasadam and go home
- Somehow or other we are put into this material condition of life and you are suffering. Somehow or other if you go back to home, back to Godhead, and again we are situated in our original position, that is wanted

- Sometimes a Vaisnava born in a village, he purifies the whole village. These are statement in authentic scriptures

- Sometimes He (Krsna) addresses him (Arjuna) as Bharata, "the descendant of the Bharata dynasty," and sometimes He addresses him as Partha, and sometimes He addresses him Dhananjaya, His friend
- Sometimes He wants to fight. Because the fighting spirit is also there in Krsna. Otherwise, where we get?
- Sometimes intellectual platform is taken as sentimental. Krsna's statement, they are not sentimental. They are vijnana-sahitam
- Sometimes it happens that a sudra is taking the place of the brahmana or the brahmana is obliged to act as a sudra. Then there is anomaly. There is some chaos in the society

- Sometimes it will come that Krsna has to come here simply to kill the demons. That is Kalki avatara. That is described by Jayadeva Gosvami. What is that? Kesava dhrta-kalki-sarira jaya jagadisa hare
- Sometimes people question that, "Why God should come?" So our answer is, "Why God should not come?" If He is all-powerful, who can check Him to come here? If we say that God cannot come, that means God becomes under our rules and regulation
- Sometimes some animal wants to eat something, another animal wants to eat another thing, but that is pravrtti. Just like the hog: he is satisfied with stool. That is also eatable. And an enlightened human being, he is satisfied with nice halava
- Sometimes the Christians go to the church, make some atonement, and again does the same thing next week, and again goes to the church, again atonement. This is not good
- Sometimes the Christians, they say the Lord Jesus Christ sometimes ate fish. Is not that? Might have done so. One thing is, Christ is powerful. Under certain circumstances, even if he had eaten some fish, that is not fault for him
- Sometimes the physician does not give him the proper medicine. Just to keep him under treatment and take money from him, he continues. Similarly, in this age things are being deteriorated
- Sometimes the so-called rsis and yogis, they also say, "Yes, when you have got the senses, it is meant for enjoyment. Why it should be stopped?" Yes. Really it has to be stopped
- Sometimes they (preacher devotees) are defeated, sometimes disappointed, sometimes able to convince; there are different kinds of people. So, not that every devotee is very well equipped
- Sometimes they divide, four classes of men: lazy intelligent, active intelligent, and lazy fool and active fool. The active fool is fourth class because whatever he'll do, it is foolish. So result will not be very good. Active fool
- Sometimes they say: "Never mind if I become a dog. What is the wrong there? I will forget everything." People say, in Western countries, even the university student, they say they don't . . . so ignorance
- Sometimes we become ghost. If we become too much attached, we cannot leave. Therefore too much opulent apartment, opulent life, is not very good for spiritual advancement because we get too much attached to it
- Sometimes we become induced, but we should always remember that "I have taken this vow. Why shall I be induced by my friend to smoke?" That is very nice
- Sometimes we get honor. Just like I have become spiritual master; I am getting honor, I am getting respect. But if I want to utilize your service for my personal comfort and do not actually preach Krsna consciousness, then I am another fool. That's all
- Sometimes we have to adopt some means which will help us to distribute the Krsna consciousness movement. That is different thing. But on principle we cannot change the words
- Sometimes we have to do that (glorify Hare Krsna mantra, to one who is not interested), but that is forbidden. Because he has no respect for Hare Krsna mantra, so there is no need
- Sometimes you become member in the stock exchange and other association to learn their business and make progress. Similarly, if you want to increase your love for Krsna, you must associate with persons who are interested in this business - devotees
- Sometimes you give up the coat, but your underwear remains, and you take up another coat similarly, my, the subtle body will remain with me so long I am not emancipated or liberated from material condition
- Sometimes you have got experience: the perspiration is water, is coming from my body. The body is active so long I am there. So how you can say the chemical is coming from matter? No. Chemical is coming from life
- Sometimes, when we are unsuccessful in our business attempt or earning attempt, we become sorry that, "Oh, Krsna is so cruel upon me that I could not trust in this." But that is His special favor. You should understand like that
- Son is born by the semina, and the disciple is born by Vedic knowledge
- Son is the expansion of the father's body. Therefore, simultaneously, they are one and different. That is real understanding
- Son or anyone, if he knows the science of Krsna, he becomes guru. This is the Vedic system. It doesn't matter. Caitanya Mahaprabhu approved this
- Soul is now dependent on the mind; therefore mind has to be trained up. That is called yoga. Those who are too much in the bodily concept of life, the hatha-yoga is recommended to control the mind
- Soul is one - that is part and parcel of Krsna - but according to karma, according to desire for material enjoyment, we have taken different dresses, and we are wandering all over the universe, according to our karma
- Soul is so minute particle: one ten-thousandth part of the top of the hair. Now how can your material science can see it or understand it? Therefore they say - No soul
- Soul is the object of your love, not this body. And why you take care of the soul? Because it is part and parcel of Krsna. Therefore Krsna is the ultimate object of love. That is Krsna consciousness
- Soul, the spiritual spark, even in minute quantity, it can float the heaviest matter. This is the conclusion. If the pilot is killed some way or other, no more floating, come down
- Spirit soul, he has got hands and legs and everything. That is body. Form means hands and legs, not without form
- Spiritual body is already there within this material body. So those who are engaged in Yajnesvara's service, they are giving up this material body and developing a spiritual body
- Spiritual construction is not known to other philosophers than the Vaisnava philosophers
- Spiritual energy is prominent everywhere, in this material world and the spiritual world. Here also, the matter is developing upon spirit, not that spirit is manifesting under certain conditional stage of matter. That is a wrong theory
- Spiritual knowledge is also a science. It is not sentiment; it is science. Now, if you like, you can make research work whether this is fact
- Spiritual level means to cure his material disease. The material disease is birth, death, old age and disease. So these things can be overcome by Krsna consciousness
- Spiritual life and material life, what is the difference? Material life means the bodily concept of life, "I am this body." This concept of life is prevalent amongst the animals
- Spiritual master does not become grown just like tree. No. It is carrying the message from higher authorities, as it is stated
- Spiritual master gives specific order to some specific disciple, and the disciple also will take it as seriously as life and soul. Then it is perfect
- Spiritual master is the representative of God, or Krsna. Just like if you work in some office, so there is one head man, representative of the proprietor of the company. You have to work under him
- Spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. Therefore, surrendering to the spiritual master means surrendering to Krsna. He is the bona fide
- Spiritual means negation of material distress. So he is always suffering from material distress. By taking drug, temporarily he forgets it. Therefore he misunderstands, - This is spiritual
- Spiritual paths are divided into four. Not real spiritual, mixed spiritual. Just like this, "God, give us our daily bread." It is mixed spiritual
- Spiritual realization is difficult for person asadbhih. Why it is difficult? Visayatmabhih. Because they are simply attracted by the four principles of material life: eating, sleeping, sex life and, one day, death
- Spiritual realization is not achieved in one birth. If one is fortunate, he can achieve in one second. But generally, it takes many, many years and many, many births to realize what is God, what is the Absolute Truth
- Spiritual realization means knowledge, not to become intoxicated. Even a sane man cannot understand. Then how he will understand in intoxication? That is foolishness
- Spiritual science does not depend on one's academic education. You'll be surprised to know that my grand - spiritual master, my spiritual master's spiritual master, he was illiterate
- Spiritual varieties is anandambudhi-vardhanam. The more you are attached to spiritual varieties, it is just like ocean. An ocean does not increase, but spiritual varieties are said they are increasing
- Spiritual well-being, that is our Krsna consciousness movement, that if the society becomes Krsna conscious, or spiritually advanced, the so-called material advancement will automatically be there. There will be no scarcity
- Sraddha means to accept that, "This is a nice movement." Just like you have come here with this sraddha, little faith that, "What these people are making in Krsna consciousness movement? Let us go and see." This is called sraddha. This is the first thing
- Sravanam is so perfect also. Pariksit Maharaja attained perfection simply by hearing seven days. Similarly, Sukadeva Gosvami, he also attained perfection by speaking seven days to Pariksit Maharaja
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given us such a nice thing, this sankirtana movement, that anyone can join, and anyone can immediately perceive what is God consciousness. That is His excellence
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has said that it is very difficult time, kalau. It is not Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's version; it is the Vedic version. Simply chant Hare Krsna mantra. This will clarify your heart
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Radha-Krsna combination. But He is playing the part of Radharani to understand Krsna. This is Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's disciples, direct disciples, they were all very important men, just like six Gosvamis. Even Svarupa Damodara, His private secretary, he was very learned man, Vedantist
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, after accepting His renounced order of sannyasa, He went to Prayaga and other holy places. So Srila Rupa Gosvami, he was minister of the government, but he gave up everything and joined this Hare Krsna movement with Sri Caitanya
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His propagation, His teaching, the substance of His teaching is that Krsna is the most worshipable object
- Sri Krsna says that, - Don't stop your work, but by the result of your work, you try to make sacrifice for the cause of the Supreme. Then your entanglement will be automatically loosened
- Sri Krsna, Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality, He was also referring to the Brahma-sutra: brahma-sutra-padais caiva viniscitam. So this is the way, that any bona fide spiritual propaganda must be following the footsteps of previous authority
- Sri Ramanujacarya came. He described the actual position of spiritual life. These are gradual development. Your Lord Jesus Christ, he also gave hints of spiritual life, kingdom of God
- Sri Yamunacarya said that - So long I have been attracted by the beauty of Krsna and I have begun to serve at His lotus feet, and I am getting newer, newer energy, since then, as soon as I think of sex intercourse, I want to spite on it
- Srimad-Bhagavata says that the devotees, they can very easily uproot the causes of our material miserable condition of life
- Srimad-bhagavatam amalam puranam. You have got Srimad-Bhagavatam. Read very carefully. All these things are already explained there
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is already sublime, transcendental. And when it is spoken through the mouth of Sukadeva Gosvami, it becomes still sweeter, just like the fruit
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the last contribution of Vyasadeva. Vyasadeva is the original compiler of all Vedic literature. So he wrote so many books - all the Vedas, four Vedas, 108 Upanisads, eighteen Puranas, Mahabharata
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is the summit of all knowledge. Amongst the Vedic scholars, the topmost knowledge means to understand Srimad-Bhagavatam. Everything is there
- Srimad-Bhagavatam, or this Krsna consciousness movement, is above these four principles of materialistic way of thinking. Krsna consciousness means to inquire the value of life and the destination of life
- Srnvatam sva-kathah krsnah. Krsna, as I already told you, Krsna is situated in everyone's heart. So when people are anxious to hear about Krsna, this is the only qualification
- Sruti-pramanam means if it is mentioned in the Vedas, Upanisad, then it is pramanam. So Vedas, there are four Vedas and 108 Upanisads, and then eighteen Puranas, then this Mahabharata. So all these are Vedic literatures
- Sruti-prasthana, smrti-prasthana, nyaya-prasthana. So any bona fide acarya must give his understanding about these three prasthanas
- Sruti-sastra-nindanam, and to decry the Vedic literature. And third, to interpret the holy name in different way according to our own whims. This is also offense
- Stalin. He's estimated to be the greatest criminal in the world. As soon as he'll suspect you . . . you may be a great friend; next day you are finished
- State says: "Everyone go to the university, be educated." But if you make your choice, go to the prison house, you can make your choice. Similarly, Krsna says everyone, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto. But if you make your choice to go to hell, what can He do
- Stated in the Bhagavad-gita, that our different types of body, desires, activities, are due to our being infected by the particular quality of material nature. Perfected quality. There are three qualities: sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna
- Stay away from this ". . . striyah suna" and unnecessary animal slaughtering; eating meat, fish, eggs etc. This human being becomes a heavy weight to mother earth
- Sthira-buddhi. Sthira means steady, and buddhi means intelligence
- Sthita-prajna means one who is steadily situated in the platform of consciousness. Prajna means consciousness, and sthita means steadily fixed up
- Still I am rascal? - Yes. You are rascal. "Why?" Aruhya krcchrena, "Because the symptoms are there that you are a rascal." So you have to understand by the symptoms
- Still the Vedic system is there. They are always conscious, the mass of people, not the so-called educated men, that "In the sastra it is said that this is sinful." So if he commits some sinful activity, he goes to a very expert brahmana
- Still there is Kuruksetra, and people go there to perform religious ritualistic ceremonies. And in the Vedas it is written clearly, kuruksetre dharmam acaret. That is the statement of the Vedas
- Still this (taking bath early morning, changing cloth) system is current. And see arati, mangala-arati. Chant Hare Krsna mantra. Ring the bells. In every temple such arrangement is there. Then come at home and do your duty, the businessman
- Still, every minute, every three minutes or something like that, I do not know . . . but increasing. Therefore they are perturbed: the population is increasing. So where is your science to stop? That is not possible
- Still, India, they do not disrespect a sannyasi, although many so-called sannyasis, they are taking advantage of this. That is another subject
- Still, they cannot assimilate it, so much, so-called civilized men, they cannot understand even the beginning of Bhagavad-gita, tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13), that there is transmigration of the soul, these rascals
- Stone is also earth, another form of earth. Therefore it is manifestation of Krsna's energy. Therefore it is Krsna. Energy and the energetic - no different
- Stone is solid. You cannot change the quality of solid. This unchangeable quality is called dharma. That is really Sanskrit significance
- Stool, in one place it is said that, "It is impure. If you touch, then you have to take your bath." In another place it is said - This stool, particular, the cow dung, is pure
- Struggle for existence is explained by different scholars and philosophers in different way. But actually there is struggle for existence, and they are trying to be happy manufacturing different types of struggle for existence
- Students and people are learning not to honor. But that is not actually the system. According to Vedic system, the representative of God must be honored as God. Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah
- Study of Bhagavad-gita means if you follow the footprints of Arjuna, then you are also as good as Arjuna. Not as good; I mean to say that your knowledge is perfect
- Study on this finger, and if you think, "I am this finger"? no, you'll come to the conclusion, "It is my finger." Any part of your body you study; you'll never agree that, "I am this." It is - I am in possession of this
- Subhadra, Jagannatha and Balarama combined together are present before you to reclaim you all from your miserable condition of life. That is the purport of this Ratha-yatra Festival
- Such a big city, there was lake, there was garden, there was maidservant, big, big palaces, and the whole thing was floating in the sky, and he (Kardama Muni) made her (Devahuti) see all the different planets
- Such a big ocean, vast water, it is just on the brink, no more. It is so organized. The sun is rising exactly in time, astronomically. The astronomical watch is one ten-thousandth part of a second. It is so accurate
- Such a big personality, he is interested in philosophy, he holds some position, responsible man, he flatly denied, - Oh, it is not possible to give up these habits
- Such a great personality (Lord Jesus Christ), God conscious person, was crucified. Just see the condition of the society
- Such a person is either a cow or an ass who is identifying this body as self. This body is a bag of bones and flesh, blood and urine. So I am not this body. I am within this body. But people are identifying with this body
- Such a sinful man (Ajamila), if simply by chanting once at the time of his death - that was also desiring his youngest son - he could get so much benefit, those who are chanting always the holy name of God, they should be always in safe condition
- Such kind of welfare activity concerning the body, like hospital and so many other things, they are good undoubtedly, but the ultimate goal is to see the interest of the soul. That is the whole Vedic instruction
- Such person (engaged constantly in devotional service) is not meant for going to the hell. - No. They are not meant. It is stated that such devotees, they will not in dream also see what is hellish condition of life, they are so guaranteed
- Sudra means dog's position. If he does not get a nice master, then he's street dog
- Sudras also, they abide by the Vedic orders. They do not do whimsically whatever he likes
- Sudras means non-Aryan. And Aryans, they are divided into three higher castes. Caste means according to profession and quality. That is caste
- Suicide is not justified. It is violation of nature's law. Nature gives you a certain type of body to live in it for certain days, and suicide means you go against the laws of nature; you untimely stop the duration of life. Therefore he becomes a criminal
- Sukadeva Gosvami has described all the planetary system, where and how they are situated, how many miles they are different from one another. The calculation of the whole universe is made there
- Sukadeva Gosvami is acarya. Vyasadeva is acarya. He's making the next acarya by teaching him - adhyapayam asa, sukam adhyapayam asa (SB 1.7.8) - so that he is becoming acarya. So we have to go the acarya and take lesson
- Sukadeva Gosvami is addressed as maha-bhaga. Maha means great, and bhaga means fortunate. Because he is very fortunate, he is describing Srimad-Bhagavatam
- Sukadeva Gosvami is speaking Srimad-Bhagavatam, and his disciple, Maharaja Pariksit, was hearing
- Sukadeva Gosvami is the speaker of Bhagavata, he's admitting that "I've learned it from my father." And where the Bopadeva comes? Is that right
- Sukadeva Gosvami replied, "My dear king (Pariksit), the sinful activities must be atoned." There are three processes: karma, jnana, bhakti. So yoga is within the jnana. To improve our condition there are different processes. One is called karma
- Sukadeva Gosvami said that "You have to atone for your sinful activities before your death; otherwise you will suffer in the next life." Rajovaca, raja, the king, he was little doubtful about this atonement
- Sukadeva Gosvami said that for any sinful action one has to atone. So immediately catches the word, this is intelligent disciple (Pariksit Maharaja), that - What is the value of this atonement? If he cannot correct himself to commit the sinful activity
- Sukadeva Gosvami says that - Whatever punishment I have described in the Fifth Canto on account of different sinful activities, one has to suffer that, unless he performs atonement
- Sukadeva Gosvami was young boy, but paramahamsa. So he was received in that big assembly as the great personality of knowledge. So everyone stood up. His father also stood up to receive him, he was such a great personality
- Sukadeva Gosvami, before speaking Srimad-Bhagavatam, he's offering his obeisances to Krsna. What is that? "I offer my obeisances," tasmai, "unto Him." Subhadra-sravase: "Simply hearing of Him is subhadra." Not abhadra; subhadra
- Sukadeva Gosvami, he described also the Srimad-Bhagavatam to Maharaja Pariksit for seven days only. He also became fully Krsna consciousness. So it is a thing which is not material. In material calculation one has to wait
- Sukadeva Goswami is the most intelligent instructor of Bhagavata principles, the audience, Pariksit Maharaja, he is also very important, very intelligent audience, and he has put this, that - What is the use of this atonement? I don't find any benefit of
- Sukadeva Goswami recommends that there are so many rules and regulations, which is difficult also to follow, especially in this age, Kali-yuga. We are in this age very much irresponsible
- Sukadeva Goswami recommends that those who are very intelligent, instead of taking to so many processes - tapasya, brahmacarya, yama, niyama, satya-sauca, so many things - if you take to this devotional process, then they will automatically come
- Sukracarya means jata-gosai: by semina they become acarya. The semina. That is the, in India, guru-vamsa. Guru-vamsa, guru meaning spiritual master, the spiritual master, vamsa. That is disciplic succession
- Sumanda-matayo, they will theorize, "In our religion it is said this." Oh, whatever your religion may be, that real purpose of religion is to understand God. How far you have understood God? That is practically nil
- Summer season does not continue permanently, neither the winter season continue permanently. It comes and goes. So there are so many things, they come and go. And being attached to so many things, I become comfortable or uncomfortable
- Sun is 93,000,000 miles away, but on account of the sun's energy spread, we are feeling the presence of sun. Similarly, we have to associate with God, Krsna, by chanting His holy name because Krsna, being Absolute, He is not different from His name
- Sun is also rotating. So, sun also by rotating, it does not light that (dark) part? This is moon; it is not rotating. But sun is rotating, so why it does not shine the other part?
- Sun planet is one of the material creation of Krsna. But as the moon planet reflects the sun planet, similarly the sun planet also reflects brahma-jyoti, and the brahma-jyoti comes out of the bodily effulgence of Krsna
- Sun-god, whose name is Vivasvan, he spoke to his son, Manu. This Manu is the father of Devahuti. She is not ordinary girl. So how fortunate she was. She was the daughter of Vaivasvata Manu
- Sunshine is not the perfect realization of the sun. It is partial realization. Brahmeti paramatmeti. The full realization is sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah
- Sunshine is spreading all over the universe. It is impersonal. But the quality of the sunshine is heat and light. The heat and light means energy. So as in the material calculation, the heat and light is the cause of all creation
- Superficially so-called spiritually, they will capture some baba, some god, some yogi, some bluffer, and they will follow them. Sumanda-matayo
- Superficially they think, "We don't believe in God. We believe in Lord Buddha." And Lord Buddha is God. Therefore in the Bhagavata it is said that his business will be cheat the atheist class of men
- Suppose a child cannot understand. But there must be some explanation. Otherwise, how in advanced stages one can accept? They will say - dogmatic

- Suppose a spark falls down from the original fire, down. It is extinguished. But the big fire does not extinguish. Therefore the big fire, or Krsna, is infallible. His name is Acyuta, - infallible
- Suppose a sputnik is flying on the outer space and we are getting knowledge of this from the newspaper. You are not going there, but you are receiving the knowledge from some authority whom you believe. So don't you think Krsna is the highest authority
- Suppose He has created this big universe. What service we can give? By His will, He can create millions of universes. What service we can give Him? No. These are the chances of service, this Ratha-yatra
- Suppose he knows the cause of cancer. What is the benefit? Neither he can stop cancer, neither a man suffering from cancer, if it is cured, he will live forever. That is not possible
- Suppose I am controlling this institution, Krsna consciousness movement. But that does not mean I am the original controller. Similarly, there are many, many big men, business magnates, controlling his factories, office, but he is not original controller
- Suppose I am debtor by hundreds of dollars to you. I give you a post-dated check, and still I say: "Now I am clear of your debt." And that post-dated check will never be paid. This is their theory. Na mam prapadyante mudhah duskrtino naradhamah

- Suppose if I am put before such subtle machine, I cannot work unless I am very expert in handling such machine. So the machine is not very important. Real importance is given to the person who is handling the machine
- Suppose if I go to consult some lawyer, I have to pay. If I want to consult some medical practitioner, I have to pay. So this is obligation. This is no mercy; this is obligation
- Suppose if I simply give you a lump of flour. Will you enjoy? But the same flour, you make kachoris, singara, luci, puri and this, you'll enjoy. The ingredient is the same, but when it is variety, it is enjoyable. Similarly, spiritual varieties
- Suppose if one performs a ritualistic ceremony and is elevated to the heavenly planet, Satyaloka, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka . . . there are so many higher planets, up to Brahmaloka. But Krsna says, he has to come back again
- Suppose if you have to become a medical practitioner or a lawyer. So you have to study the law books by the previous lawyers, by the judgments of the courts

- Suppose Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (Bg. 18.66). Before that, Krsna has described everything, why you should surrender to Krsna. At last He says, "You surrender to Me." So there is no difficulty
- Suppose my beloved father is dead or somebody is dead. I cry, "My father is gone." So where is your father gone? He is lying there, unconscious. He may come to consciousness again. But we say: "No, he is gone." "Dead" means gone
- Suppose one has begun yoga. Yoga means attempt to link with the Supreme. That is called yoga
- Suppose one has done very marvelous work. So we should not be very much enthusiastic to praise for such work. What is that work? That work is material. It will vanish
- Suppose one has taken to Krsna consciousness, bhakti-yoga. So if he can execute properly, then: Then he will understand what is God, what is kingdom of God. And after death, he shall enter into the kingdom of God. So this is the only shelter
- Suppose one is born in a nice brahmin family, a Vaisnava family, he gets chance immediately by his father's example, by his mother's example, by his family tradition. So naturally he gets the chance

- Suppose there is a very big man in your country. If you speculate about him at home, the knowledge is never perfect. Speculative knowledge is never perfect, especially when you imagine something about somebody. That is all humbug; it has no meaning
- Suppose there is big man, you are trying to understand what he is. So you can speculate, that will never be perfect
- Suppose there is very nice palatable food. If I think, "Let me eat as much as possible," then next day I will have to starve. Immediately dysentery or indigestion

- Suppose you are working in office. Your immediate boss, the superintendent, if he is pleased, that means the managing director is also pleased. You haven't got to please the managing director separately
- Suppose you become a devotee and think of Krsna, what is loss on your part? There is no loss. So without any loss, if you get the greatest benediction of life, why don't you try it? This is our request
- Suppose you can eat eight ounce. If you eat nine ounce, then you will have to starve for three days. There is no excuse. "Why you have eaten more than eight ounce?" The nature is there
- Suppose you come in a dress. You are my friend. Do I see your dress or you? Panditah sama-darsinah. Vidya-vinaya-sampanne (BG 5.18). You are reading BG. You know all these things. When you are learned, you won't see the dress. You will see the soul
- Suppose you go to a store. The storekeeper says: "Oh, you are my dear friend. I will not take any profit from you. I will give you at cost price. You take." So you believe. But actually, how it is possible to give at cost price?
- Suppose you have got a picture of Krsna and you simply think of the picture, man-mana, and you offer a little lamp, a little incense, and if you don't offer, if you simply offer your respect, what is your loss?
- Suppose you steal something, somebody's property, and falsely claim, "I am proprietor," you'll never be peace, because it is not your thing; you have stolen it
- Suppose you write one book, or anything; if it is just according to the Vedic conclusion, then it is also called smrti. By remembering the Vedic conclusion . . . you cannot go beyond the Vedic conclusion. Then it is useless writing
- Suppose your material body - earth, water, air, fire - now, when this body will be decomposed, so this form will not remain. Does it mean that your body has become the whole universal material elements?
- Suppose your painting is there. Can I not say that, "Here is Mr. Such-and-such"? What is the wrong there?
- Suppose, some way or other, the car is damaged, is lost. Then I do not become overwhelmed, because I know that I am not this car. I can get another car. That's all
- Supposed you go to church: "God, give us our daily bread." God is giving, then what do you get? Bread is given to the animals also. Why you are going to the church?
- Supreme Absolute Truth is a purusa. Purusa means enjoyer, man. Man is supposed to be the enjoyer. He's not woman. Woman is supposed to be enjoyed. Therefore this very word is used: purusa. And purana, the oldest man
- Supreme Lord is the cause of all causes, but He is not caused by anyone. That is His supremacy. He is described in the Vedic, svarat, "self-evident." That is God
- Surrender means you first of all be convinced that - Here is a person who can give me actual knowledge
- Suta Gosvami, he was representative of Sukadeva Gosvami, the speaker of Srimad-Bhagavatam, and he was addressing very learned brahmins
- Sva means dog, and pacam means cooking. So in the human society, the lowest class of men are considered the dog-eaters
- Sva-dharma means one may be in goodness, one may be in passion, one may be in darkness, and one may be in mixture. So that is divided into four classes of men: the brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra
- Sva-pitre kupitam prabhum - Don't think that it is our duty; it is your (Prahlada Maharaja's) duty. Although we are Brahma, Laksmi, all right. So real duty is yours
- Svami means who has attained the perfection of not being dictated by the senses. He is called svami
- Svargaloka is not so very comfortable. Above the Svargaloka there is Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka, Brahmaloka, like that, seven lokas. So who will go there
- Svargaloka, Maharloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka. There are many different planetary system up, and down also. So if you want to go to that, if you prepare yourself, contacting the modes of goodness, then you are promoted to higher planetary system
- Svarupa Damodara has solid knowledge. He has learned from us. Therefore he's writing all these books. He has rejected his so-called scientific knowledge
- Sweet will help you digest. Don't give three - at least four
T
- Tad-vijnana means spiritual science. For that purpose, one requires a guru. Not for any other purpose
- Tad-vijnanam means transcendental knowledge. Athato brahma jijnasa. And the human life is meant for tad-vijnanam, to understand
- Take care of this important business of human life - as it is explained in the Vedanta-sutra, athato brahma jijnasa . . . this life is meant for understanding about the Brahman, or the spirit soul
- Take example, your President Kennedy. He approached to the most happiest position, president, young man, good wife, children. Within a second, everything finished
- Take example; there are many natural stones, they are by nature red. If you say that, "This artificial redness cannot give life; the natural redness is the cause of life," then you take the stone. It has got natural redness, but there is no life
- Take other's meal; he loses his own. This is called illusion, maya. You did not read this, Aesop's Fable story? It is very instructive story. This is dog's philosophy
- Take simple food, neat and clean, you'll not get disease. So everything depends on eating to keep the health proper. But these things can be simplified when the life is simple
- Take this (Krsna Consciousness) philosophy nicely, understand it, and preach. You will be victorious everywhere. Because we can challenge anyone. If you know the trick, Krsna consciousness, you can challenge
- Take to service of Krsna, as it is ordered by the spiritual master. Because spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. We cannot approach Krsna directly
- Take to this Krsna consciousness and be saved from the pitfalls of sinful life; otherwise nature will not allow you to go out
- Tamo-guna means nidra, alasya, ignorance, and sleeping more, laziness, and alasya, alasya, laziness; nidra, means sleeping; and ignorance. Just like cats and dogs: they do not know what is the aim of life
- Tan-mandira-marjanadau, and again cleansing the temple very nicely everywhere. So this is our process - that we take everything in relationship with Krsna. We don't find that this material energy is false. We don't say
- Tapasa, I have explained the other day, that you have to voluntarily accept some inconveniences. That is not inconvenience. But because I am accustomed to such things, it appears to be inconvenient. Just like a smoker, he is veteran smoker
- Tapasvi means those who are seeking after eternal happiness. Karmis, yogis, there are many tapasvis. But real tapasvi . . . tapo divyam (SB 5.5.1). Divyam means transcendental
- Tapasya is not very severe thing. Tapasya means to abide by the orders of the sastra. Just like a diseased man, his tapasya is to abide by the orders of the physician. The physician says that - You do this; you do not do this
- Tapasya means austerity, penance, vow. These are the teachings of all scriptures. Either you take Hindu scripture or Christian scripture or Muhammadan scripture, in every scripture human form of life is meant for training
- Tapasya should be executed, how we can also revive our original constitutional position, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha. This is called suddhyet sattva
- Tata, Rockefeller or this, they cannot say, "No, I possess the whole wealth of the universe." That you cannot say. But Krsna can say. Therefore He is Bhagavan
- Tattva means truth. You have to understand Bhagavan in truth. So that, to understand in truth, that is a science. That is not sentiment. Vijnana
- 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
- Tell Krsna that I am four-headed Brahma. I am the father of Sanaka-Sanatana. - He is giving his identification as father of Sanaka-Sanatana, because this Sanaka-Sanatana appeared to be greater than Brahma
- Temporarily we are thinking if we make some comfortable arrangement for body, and that is sufficient. Lost Vedic culture, ideal of life, goal of life
- Ten minutes if you drive you have to follow so many rules and regulations. It is a ten-minutes' affair. And throughout your whole life you are irresponsible - you will not follow any rules and regulations? Is that very nice proposal? Is good intelligence?
- Tesam satata-yuktanam. The spiritual master's duty is to lead a person, a forgotten soul, to the right way in terms of the sastra and scripture
- That (accepting there is God and business is surrender to Him) is not very easy thing; people will not agree to this. Therefore training required, association required. But the method is so simple it can be achieved in one second
- That (Ayurveda) is a very big book, and all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of flesh, all kinds of fish and everything is detailed there, and there is description what is the effect of eating such-and-such things
- That (death) is the real problem. But because it is very difficult subject matter, nobody touches it. "Oh, death - we shall peacefully die." But nobody peacefully dies
- That (faith in mundane religion) is faith, but because one is not intelligent, he takes irreligion as religion. He should be also very intelligent, faithful and intelligent. Not blind faith
- That (God's loving propensity) is pure, and here it is impure on account of this material contamination. The thing (man loving woman) is there, but it is contaminated. Therefore you feel frustration
- That (how the world is false) is explained by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that reality, real father . . . if you accept Krsna as your father, oh, He'll give you all protection. If you accept Krsna as your husband, oh, there is no question of divorce
- That (I am not this body) realization takes time. But when we are actually advancing in Krsna consciousness, we must know our duty. Sleeping not more than six hours. Utmost eight hours
- That (ignorance) we have to cure. That is the special advantage of human life. The dogs, the cats, they cannot be cured. They cannot be given the knowledge
- That (inquiry about what is the rate of rice and dal) should go on, but along with it there should be inquiry what is the Absolute Truth and what is Krsna, what is God. That is beginning of human form of life
- That (introduction to Sankara's commentary to Bhagavad-gita) is explained. Sankara is the incarnation of Lord Siva. He has no fault. He has simply executed the order of the Supreme Lord
- That (Krsna Consciousness) is a great science one has to learn, how to make these problems (birth, death, old age and disease) solved. But here is the medicine, or here is the solution for all these problems
- That (Krsna takes the body to fulfill His mission) is the way. That is a real understanding of Krsna
- That (Krsna's power) is so subtle and working so nicely that overnight we see that a beautiful flower has come out. But there is working, there is brain. But they are working so swiftly and subtly, we cannot see how it is being worked
- That (learn to control the senses) is the purpose of human life. Human life is not meant for imitating the life of cats and dogs and hogs. That is not human life
- That (life has specific complex form and activity by nature) is explained in the Vedanta-sutra: axiomatic. Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). By nature, anandamaya. And variety is the mother of enjoyment
- That (living entity) is superior, because this superior energy, living entity, he is trying to utilize this inferior material energy for his sense gratification. Dharyate jagat
- That (parakiya-rasa) is most abominable in this material world, but that is most first class thing in the spiritual world. Parakiya-rase yanha brajete pracara. So these things are very higher principles of spiritual life
- That (preaching the holy name of God) does not mean I am God, but I am equal to God. Or at least, you should see like that
- That (reducing population) is very easy. The bomb is also ready. Everyone has got now nuclear weapon, bomb. So the scientists gave the solution. So what is the use of scientific knowledge? This is going to happen
- That (searching after spiritual realization, self-realization) is the way of Vedic culture, or Indian culture. Not that up to the last point of our death we shall stick to the worldly affairs
- That (sex) is my ambition. That's all. I am less than dog. Dog gets opportunity of sex life in the street without any working hard, but I will have to work hard to enjoy the same thing. So I am less than dog
- 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 (standing in the wind and snowfall, the whole year) sort of happiness the tree may enjoy. But you are human being. You will say, - Oh, this is the standard of his enjoyment
- That (surrender) will satisfy Krsna, not that you falsely claim that, "I am Krsna. Krsna is now dead, and now I have come." These rascals will not satisfy Krsna
- That (there is no impediment in devotional service) he has very nicely explained, quoting many authoritative statement from scriptures. And another thing: it is a fact that nobody can check krsna-bhakti. It is transcendental; it is not material
- That (to follow mahajanas) is recommended in the Bhagavad-gita: evam parampara praptam (BG 4.2). So there is no question of blind faith. If we follow the mahajana, example of the authorities, then our life is success
- That (to know transcendental science one must go to an expert guru) is the injunction of every Vedic sastra. And this order is from the Kathopanisad. Then, on the Bhagavad-gita the same thing is said, tad viddhi pranipatena - BG 4.34
- That (to serve Krsna) is the real duty. But people do not know that. They are manufacturing their duty
- That (twenty to thirty years) will be duration of life, because people are becoming more and more sinful. So that is fixed up
- That (we cannot understand Brahman unless we understand Krsna) is real understanding. And without Krsna, if you understand brahma satyam jagan mithya, then you fall down
- That (whether Krsna is coming from Visnu or Visnu is coming from Krsna) is not important. Because, actually both of Them the same, the Supreme. That example we give that two candles, that so far the power of lighting is concerned, both of them equal
- That (why these American boys are mad after God now) is a fact. These boys, you American boys, you were not interested. But why you are so interested and you are preaching Krsna consciousness all over the world? You are not foolish
- That (women's liberation) I don't want to discuss. As you have asked, I may explain that how foolish women are being cheated by the intelligent man. You see?
- That division (brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya & sudra) is there all over the world. Either you name differently, but these four classes of men are there, either in India or in America or Hawaii or Japan or anywhere
- That dog also doing, jumping, always. "Bow! Bow! Bow! Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!" What is called? Active foolishness. They remain foolish, but still, they are active. That means they are simply creating dangerous position. That's all
- That drdha-vratah must be there, strong determination. Then it will go on. The scientists will come to learn and the psychiatrists will come to learn if you keep drdha-vratah. And as soon as you make compromise, then nobody will care for it
- That exchange of Krsna's feelings you can find in this Gaudiya-Vaisnava philosophy, that Mother Yasoda is treating Krsna as very insignificant. - He's my child. If I don't give Him protection, He will die
- That exhaling and inhaling (of Karanodakasayi Visnu) is the duration of this material existence. When Visnu exhales, whole creation takes place
- That freedom is there always. The Krsna or His representative, the spiritual master, he can give you good instruction, good advice, but to do it or not to do it, that is your option
- That grhamedhi, grhastha - appearing like the same. But grhastha means no dictation of the sense. Then you become gosvami
- That intelligence (why to accept repetition of birth, death, old age disease and so many miserable conditions) can be developed in human form of life, and if we do not do, then the same example: just you use the sandalwood for burning purpose
- That is a very important work and you are especially responsible to make it successful. All other GBC men should give you all assistance for building up the standard there
- That is already being done by many medical practitioners - better medicine. But where is the medicine that will not be disease
- That is Bhagavata-dharma. No cheating. In the name of cheating and dharma, religious principle, that will not help the human civilization
- That is compulsory, that "You are very good, responsible man. All right, do your duty up to this. No more duty. No more duty." So this "duty," "no duty," this is our creation
- That is developed Krsna consciousness, to render service to the ignorant of Krsna consciousness. That is better
- 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
- That is dharma, discipline, to abide by the state laws. There must be some discipline. Similarly, to make yourself advanced to spiritual life, you must have to observe the discipline. Without discipline, it is not possible
- That is good, simply to understand, "There is God." Generally, they do not believe that there is God
- That is his pastime to show us how a little boy can become maha-bhagavata, how a little boy can be the eternal associate of Krsna, and how he can preach. That is Prahlada Maharaja
- That is Jiva Gosvami's, recommended that as soon as we give up this temple worship method, regulative principles, then we become, in the dress of so-called, we become victim of maya. Vesopajivaka
- That is Krsna's grace, that you have no anything to do. You have to do it (chanting Hare Krsna mantra in the association of the devotees). That's a grace of Krsna
- That is Krsna's intelligence, how He adjusts. He gives everyone freedom. And everyone is given facilities, but still He's in botheration. Therefore Krsna advises his devotees that, - Don't plan anything. You rascal, you nonsense, you don't give Me trouble
- That is meditation, "What is my eternal function? What is my eternal duty? Where is my eternal home?" That is Krsna consciousness
- That is meditation: "Where I am? What I am?" So you cannot search out by your material . . . that . . . therefore all these universities, they are setting aside - very difficult subject
- That is mentioned (in sastra), "This Kalki avatara incarnation will come. He will appear in a place whose name is Sambhalapur." That is still in India. - And his father's name will be Visnu-yasi
- That is my charge (disobeying my Guru Maharaja) against them (my godbrothers). Deliberately. He (Guru Maharaja) never appointed an acarya. First of all they appointed one acarya, you see, and later on he proved to be a rascal
- That is our basic principle of knowledge, that every one of us is defective, so you cannot give us complete knowledge; it is not possible. We must receive knowledge from the perfect without defects
- That is our conclusion, that either you remain this side or that side, it is miserable. By mental concoction you think that "This is better than that." Therefore Krsna says frankly, sarva-dharman parityajya (BG 18.66). That is only shelter
- That is our Krsna consciousness movement, that we don't accept any knowledge from a person who is defective in so many ways. And what is the value of such knowledge
- That is our request, that you are very intelligent boys, American boys. Try to understand Krsna. Try to revive your relationship with Krsna. Then you will be happy; otherwise not
- That is pure life, when we think like that, that "We are no more servant." Nayam kinkaram, that is, what is called, indemnifying this contaminated existence of material life
- That is real human life, when he inquires about the Absolute Truth. Otherwise, it is animal life
- That is spiritual world, beyond this material world. So they have no information what is that spiritual world. Therefore it is said (in BG 8.20) that . . . here it is going on, pralaya, anya pralaya
- That is the beginning. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam (BG 18.66). Unless Jagai-Madhai surrendered and stopped their sinful activities . . . that is wanted
- That is the duty (to be nice devotees), those who are managing this temple. By his character, by his behavior, he will be influenced
- That is the first understanding of spiritual knowledge, that we change our body. I am spirit soul, every one of us, spirit soul, even the animals and the trees and plants and aquatics - any living being
- That is the highest type of religious performances, by which one can achieve the perfection of loving God. Yato bhaktir adhoksaje
- That is the original place. You have come from Krsna; now you have to go back to Krsna
- That is the real father and mother: who begets children and make him devotee. That is real father and mother. Otherwise, cats and dogs
- That is the significance of svami and gosvami. It is not the dress. One who has controlling power, one who is not dictated by the senses, one who is not servant of the senses
- That is the significance of the temple. There was some family quarrel, and Gopala came to give witness to decide judgment on that quarrel. So is it possible to describe
- That is the success of human form of life, to execute Bhagavata-dharma. Dharma, as we have several times explained, dharma means the codes of Bhagavan
- That is the trick - how we shall always think of Krsna even we are engaged in our occupation duty. That will make us perfect. Actually, real sva-dharma is to be attached to Krsna. Because we are part and parcel of Krsna
- That is the Vedic statement, that there are two birds sitting on the same tree. One bird is enjoying the fruit of the tree, and the other bird is simply witnessing. So the two birds, jivatma and paramatma, are always associated
- That is the whole teachings of Bhagavad-gita. We should stop all this nonsense, benevolent work, "I am nationalist," "I am socialist," "I am this," - I am that
- That is the yogic principle, to think of the Supreme within the heart. He is there within the heart. Both the individual living entity, and God is sitting within this heart. That's a fact. We have to search it out, catch Him by yogic process
- That is there, a class of men, jijnasu. Catur-vidha bhajante mam sukrtinah (BG 7.16). They are pious. "Actually what is the truth?" Jijnasu. And jnani
- That is Vedic culture, to create responsible man, not varna-sankara. Therefore Arjuna was very much afraid that - After war the women will be widows. They will be polluted, and varna-sankara population will come out
- That kicking out will convince them. Otherwise, they will not be convinced. So long they are in the post, they will never be convinced. But when they are kicked out, when they are street dog, then they will be
- That love (for Supreme Lord, Krsna) is not motivated that, "I want this thing; therefore I shall love." Here in this material world the so-called love, lust, is motivated, - I'll get so much sense gratification; therefore I love a boy or a girl
- That man who is simply proud that 'I am born in such-and-such family,' he is a rascal, - because this false prestige is rascaldom. This false prestige has killed the Vedic civilization
- That man who is under false prestige, impression that, "I am this," "I am that," "I am higher," he cannot deliver himself even, because what is the value of false prestige? False prestige has no value
- That mentality (there is God and I must submit to Him) is very rare to be found. It has to be created. Therefore you will find not very many followers of this Krsna consciousness movement. But one who is following he is very fortunate
- That process (taking Krsna) we are giving to everyone, without any discrimination. We have got students from all communities: Hindus, Muslim, Christian, Parsis and Africans. The process is so perfect. If you take the process, you will also understand
- That qualification (purification from devotional service) we have to attain, then Krsna, purusottama, will speak from within, just like He spoke from within of Brahma: tene brahma hrda adi-kavaye - SB 1.1.1
- That religious system is first class wherein God consciousness, or love of God, is taught. - It doesn't matter whether it is Christian religion or Hindu religion or Muhammadan religion
- That should be the inquiry, that "Everything, I am speaking 'mine.' Where is that 'I'?" As soon as we come to this point, "Where is that 'I'?" then our human sense is developed. Otherwise we are in the animal sense of life
- That show (in Madras) is going on that, "We are doing something." Because it (the tiny flyover) is imitation. There was no need, but they want to make advanced like the Americans
- That system of religion is first class which teaches for this thing that, "Come to platform of God consciousness and love God." Then that is first-class system of religion. It doesn't matter what is the designation
- That type of religion is first class which teaches you how to become a lover of God. If you become lover, then your life is successful. Then you'll do everything for God
- That was my policy from the very beginning, that if the Americans accept, then my mission will be successful. And that is being done gradually, and I am insisting that preach in America vigorously
- That was the version of my Guru Maharaja that, "I have got so many temples and buildings. If by selling all these buildings, if I can save one man from this material disease, then my mission will be successful." He used to say like that
- That yathecchasi tatha kuru is already said. You use your intelligence. If you prefer to remain rascal, you remain. Krsna does not say that, - Don't use your intelligence
- That's all right, good standard, but you must collect good standard also. Spend good standard and collect bad standard, what is this
- The (God's) name is there, but he (Lord Jesus Christ) did not pronounce it, because the people at that time will not be able to understand, or maybe some reason
- The (KC) movement requires energy. We are printing so many books. For spreading this knowledge, that must be distributed. Home to home, place to place, man to man, this literature must go there
- The Absolute Personality of Godhead, He has nothing to do personally. He hasn't got to perform any work, although He is the greatest worker. And nobody is found greater than Him or equal to Him
- The Absolute Truth is realized in three angles of vision according to the capacity of the devotee. Tattva-vit means one who has realized the Supreme Truth
- The Absolute Truth is realized in three features: Brahman, beginning from Brahman; then Paramatma, Supersoul - I think in Christian world they call Holy Ghost - anyway, Paramatma, the Supersoul; and ultimately the SPG, Krsna
- The Absolute Truth is scientific knowledge. It is not sentiment - "I accept somebody as God by votes." That is not bhagavat-tattva-vijnanam. One must know what is the definition of God
- The acarya, other acaryas like Sri Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami and up to Caitanya Mahaprabhu, everyone has accepted, srimad-bhagavatam amalam puranam
- The acarya, they come here to teach us about Krsna consciousness, or God consciousness. That is their business. They have no other business. That is bona fide acarya
- The acceptance has been very marvelous, because the things are presented in pure form, so it has acted very nice. Otherwise, it is not a movement that I have manufactured something. No
- The acid and alkali, they also come from life. Or if it does not come from the life, the product is made by another life
- The actual fact is that we are eternal servant of Krsna, we have forgotten it, and therefore we have become servant of maya
- The actual purpose of studying Vedas means to understand Krsna. If one has not understood Krsna, then srama eva hi kevalam (SB 1.2.8). They have simply labored for nothing
- The actual truth of religion is very confidential. How can I know it? You just try to follow mahajana. Never mind if you follow Jesus Christ, you follow Krsna - but you follow the most authorized personality. That is wanted
- The administration is under the sudra side. How they can manage? So they must be trained, as in business we give training
- The advancement of civilization is tested when a nation or person is interested to inquire about God. Athato brahma jijnasa
- The advertisement is there (cigarette is hazardous to your health), but they cannot be stopped; because they're so much intrinsically habituated, they cannot give it up. But that has to be given up if he wants release from such kind of tribulations
- The age is increasing, that is a false idea. The age is decreasing. Somebody says that, "You are seventy-six years old. Oh, you have so much increased." I am not increased. Practically I have decreased the duration of life
- The age of Kali-yuga is 432,000's of years. Out of that we have passed only 5,000 years. The balance is 427,000's of years. And it will become, the condition of society, world, will be worse
- The aim (going to that 104th floor) is the same, but you cannot say that one who has already covered one hundred steps, he is as good as one who has covered two steps. There is that difference
- The aim of life, that we are conditioned by this material nature, embodied by the material elements, and that is the cause of our all miserable condition of life
- The aim of religion is to know God. If you profess some religion, but if I ask you what is God, if you cannot explain, then what is the use of your becoming religious
- The Ajamila, he was brahmana, undoubtedly, but he fell a victim to maya
- The American government may create prison departments, but why you are interested there? Why you are going there? The real position is: because you are criminal, therefore government has to create such department
- The American government spent millions of dollars to stop this habit of intoxication, LSD. And as soon as the same man comes to our Society, he immediately gives up. Why? It is practical
- The Americans, Canadians, Europeans, I am training them. So you take it very seriously. You try to understand Bhagavad-gita as it is. Try to understand Krsna and spread it. That is my request
- The animal also thinks, "I am dog," "I am tiger," or similarly, if I think, "I am Mr. Such-and-such," "I am president," "I am this or that," you are none of these, sir. These are all designation, temporary, for a certain period, ten years, five years
- The animal does not inquire what is Absolute Truth, neither the Vedanta-darsana and all these Vedic scriptures are meant for the animals. They're meant for human being
- The animal does not know that there is soul. A dog thinks, "I am this body." Therefore Krsna instructs first this thing. Everyone is acting on the conception of body as self
- The animal which has no hands - just like goats and others: they have only legs - so they are food for the animals with hands. Ahastani sahastanam. That is the law of nature
- The animals are afraid of some higher authority. But these atheists, they are not afraid of higher authorities. Although they are being kicked by the laws of material nature in every moment, still, they are proud, - No, there is no God. There is no God
- The animals' life is simply busy for four things: eating, sleeping, mating and defense. That's all. They do not know anything more than that
- The animals, the other animals, living entities - the ants, the birds, the tigers, the dogs, so many - we are always with disturbances. That we cannot understand; we are thinking falsely. This is called maya

- The Aryans and non-Aryans, there are division: civilized, noncivilized; educated, noneducated; cultured, noncultured; black, white; this and that. There are . . . externally these divisions. But that distinction is of the body
- The Aryans are white. But here, this side, due to climatic influence, they are a little tanned. Indians are tan, but they are not black. But Aryans are all white. And the non-Aryans, they are called black. Yes
- The asuras, they do not want to be purified. They want to remain in the degraded stage of life. That is the difficulty. Otherwise it doesn't matter what he is, which family he's born. It doesn't matter
- The asuras, those who have no knowledge of Krsna, they say asatyam: "This (material energy) is all false." Why it is false? If the source of energy is fact, brahma satya, then the energy of the satya must be satya
- The atheist always challenges, "Where is God? Can you show me?" Well, you will see. Not now. Just at the maturation of your all sinful activities, when death will come, you will see Him. This is going on. So it is very instructive lesson
- The atheist and the theist, they will never agree. But theist also never will submit to the atheist. This is the principle
- The atheist class man will always think that Deity is a doll: "These people, crazy fellow, they are worshiping doll." But not for a devotee
- The atheist class men are described as the lowest of the mankind. Why? Naradhamah, na duskrtinah: always engaged in sinful activities, that na mam duskrtino mudhah, and rascals
- The atheist class, when he will see, he will be finished. But theist, devotee, will see God constantly in opulence
- The atonement is there in every religion. In the Vedic process there is atonement, but what is the use of this atonement if he does not cease committing the same sinful activity?

- The beginning of human life is to execute the varnasrama-dharma

- The Bhagavad-gita has been misinterpreted, misused by the leaders, by the politicians, by the so-called philosophers. Everyone has misused Bhagavad-gita
- The Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all Vedic literatures because, after all, Vedic literature means to understand Krsna, the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the purpose of Vedic study
- The Bhagavad-gita, Bhagavan, personally says that "Your real miserable condition of life are the four things: janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9)." But who is taking seriously

- The Bhagavata says, so long you do not come to the platform of understanding yourself, whatever you are doing, it is simply defeat. Zero. Zero has no value
- The Bhagavata says: "Whether he has given any aural reception about Krsna, that is the test." No. He has no knowledge about Krsna. Then he must be praised by persons who are like camel, asses, dogs, hogs

- The Bhagavatam you'll find religion, religious person, who is a religious person, first-class religion. Religious person means who has learned to love God. That is religious person
- The bhaktas they directly come to the original source of Brahma and Paramatma. Bhagavan, isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati, (BG 18.61) isvarah has expanded in everyone's heart and who is that isvarah? Isvarah paramah krsnah
- The bhattacarya said that "You drink one pound of molten lead." "How it is possible?" "That is the atonement." So in this way he (Buddhimanta Khan) was baffled. He went to Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And He laughed, that - This the condition of the Hindu society
- The Bible is also sastra. Koran is also sastra but they are spoken according to the time, according to the circumstances
- The Bible says: "Thou shall not kill," and they are simply engaged in killing business, and still they want to be happy. Just see the fun. Therefore Krsna says - Yes, you be killed by occasional world war. You must be killed
- The big airplane is mechanical arrangement. But unless there is the pilot, it cannot work. Similarly, you try to understand that this cosmic manifestation, however wonderful it may be, unless there is direction of the Supreme Being, it is useless

- The birds, small birds, in the morning, just early in the morning they will rise up and they will chirp and they will go away because they are sure that "Our foodstuff is ready anywhere we shall go." And that's a fact
- The birds, they have no problem. Early in the morning they rise up, and they are certain somewhere there is some fruit. They will eat and sleep in the top of the tree. They haven't got to make arrangement, economic development. It already is there
- The bodily needs, bodily pains and pleasures, there we are affected. So how you can say it is false? Similarly the mind, and soul is absolutely factual. So any item you take, you can understand by thorough study
- The body has developed to that seven months' condition because there is a spirit soul. Otherwise how it becomes seven months' developed? You'll find this description in the Srimad-Bhagavatam

- The Bon Maharaja, he was coming from a brahmin family; he had to throw away his old sacred thread, and he was further initiated. He (my Guru Maharaja) did not recognize anyone as brahmin or high class. No
- The bondage is that mastership mentality. He's servant, but he's thinking falsely that he's master. Just like your President Nixon. He thought, "Now I have become master of America, I'm president." He forgot that he's servant
- The book, Srimad-Bhagavatam; the ideal worship, the damsels of Vrndavana; Krsna is the worshipable object; and the necessary of life, necessity of life, is to attain love of Godhead. This is the whole mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, sum and substance
- The boy (Prahlada Maharaja) would not give up. So the father was even prepared to kill a five-year-old boy. The fault was that he was chanting Hare Krsna. He was given poison. He was thrown into the fire. He was pulled from the hill
- The boys and girls who have come to this Society, they have accumulated in that way, knowingly or unknowingly, some Krsna conscious qualification, and therefore they have taken this opportunity
- The boys should be trained up to become first-class men, samo damas titiksa, like that. And literary, Sanskrit and English, that will make them perfect. If the husband is first class and the wife is chaste and faithful, then the home is heaven
- The brahmacari is strictly forbidden for sex life. The vanaprastha, they are also forbidden for sex life, and the sannyasi, they are also forbidden for sex life. So out of four divisions, three divisions are strictly forbidden for sex life
- The brahmacari should go neighboring householders' place to take something from him. This collection is not for his personal sense gratification. This collection is made from these persons to offer to the Deity

- The brahmanas' duty is to give education, intelligence, up to the understanding of the Supreme Absolute Truth, Brahman
- The brahmastra is something like atomic weapon, nuclear weapon. It can go to the enemy wherever the enemy is. It doesn't matter. It will go and kill. That is called brahmastra
- The brahmin community, especially in those days, five hundred years ago, were not very rich, because they did not care for material opulence. That is the specific quality of brahmins
- The brahmins should be protected, but if there are, even in the brahmin family, who are addicted to these sinful activities, that is also becomes a concern
- The brain is working, but it is so advanced that in your room, as soon as you push on a button you see everything. But don't think it is becoming automatically done
- The brain of scientist created by somebody, that is not in your hand. You cannot create another similar brain. That is not possible
- The Buddhists, they decry the authority of Vedas . He (Lord Buddha) had to do that. There was no way

- The business is tad viddhi pranipatena (BG 4.34): one must be prepared to surrender. So unless that character is there, surrendering, how he can become his disciple? It is not possible
- The business is: "They are claiming all kinds of sinful conditioned souls." Their only business is. Because in this age, Kali-yuga, you cannot find any perfectly pious man or saintly person. Everyone is addicted to so many sinful activities
- The Canadians think, "This is my land." But this, when it is purified, it is this land God's land. Then it is purified. And so long you falsely claim "It is my land," that is cause of all trouble
- The captain is the spiritual master, and this body is a very good ship. These are the examples given. We have to cross over this material ocean. So we must have a captain and good ship, and favorable air
- The car is combination of some material things, but it is operated or it is manufactured by the man. He is controlling this; therefore he is superior. Both of them are energies
- The cats and dogs, they are busy, "Where is food? Find out some food." The pig is finding out, "Where is stool? Where is stool?" Here (in USA) I do not know whether you have got experience. In our country, in the villages, there are so many pigs loitering
- The cats and dogs, they cannot get this opportunity how to purify the existence, how to become free from these four principles of material unhappiness
- The cats, dogs and so-called civilized man is simply nunam pramattah kurute vikarma (SB 5.5.4), doing all kinds of sinful activities. Why? Yad indriya-pritaya aprnoti: simply for sense gratification. This is material world
- The cause of all causes, the supreme controller, is Krsna. And that Krsna consciousness we are presenting all over the world. And this Hanuman Gosvami has given me the credit that I am representing Krsna
- The central point of attraction of this material world is sex life, and when one gets detached from sex life . . . tadavadhi mama cetah . . . - As soon as I think of sex intercourse, immediately my mouth becomes turned aside and I want to spite on it
- The chanting of Hare Krsna is not so easy. So many people come here, but when there is chanting they do not chant, because it is not easy
- The characteristic is that I am eternally servant of God. So instead of serving God, if I serve the dog, that is called cheating religion
- The cheating, the so-called svamis. Do they not say, "I am God"? Do they not say: "I am God. You are God. Everyone God"? But I am talking, the some of them
- The child does not develop all of a sudden. Every mother knows that. It grows gradually, little by little, little by little. When it is seven months, then it moves
- The child does not know to ask from the parents, but the things are there. Similarly, Krsna, He is supplying everything, everyone. Eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman - Katha Upanisad 2.2.13
- The child is changing body to boy. The boy is changing his body to youth. But young man does not like to change his body to old age. Rather, the old man wants to come back to his youthful ages
- The child within the womb of the mother returns his consciousness when the child is seven months old. This is human body. At that time he feels inconvenience within the womb of mother. Before that, he is unconscious, sleeping
- The children should be trained up in such a way that they will be able to control the senses and act only for the benefit of guru. That is brahmacari. They have no personal interest
- The Christian people, they go to the church, confession, "Sir, I did this, all these sinful activities last week." "All right, pay me something." Again, from Monday, beginning sinful activities; come on Sunday. These are not allowed
- The Christians are supposed to go into the church and confess the sinful activities and pay some fine, and then he becomes free. But that free, that excuse can be done once, twice, thrice, not perpetually
- The Christians say, "God is great." The Muslim also say that allahu akbar. That is also same meaning. The Vedic literature also says Parabrahman. Brahman means the greatest
- The classification of varnam, should be, accepted by seeing the symptoms - what quality and what work he is doing
- The clock goes on, tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick. As soon as the tick-tick stops, then whole thing is lost. Similarly, our breathing is going on, tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick, a fixed time
- The codes and the orders and the rules and regulations, they're all stated in the Bhagavad-gita. So if we follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita and accept . . . we accept, consciously or unconsciously. That is our Indian culture, Vedic culture
- The Communists, they are thinking that everything belongs to the state. But why don't you think everything belongs to God? Then the whole solution is there
- The Communists, they're trying for the last fifty years to become happy, but are they happy actually? No. The Russians and the Chinese, they are now differing, "No, this is not the standard. This is standard." So the same thing is going on
- The conception of female God, that is not authorized. Paramah puman yo. So female is prakrti, nature
- The conclusion of the sastra is kalau sudra-sambhavah: in this age of Kali, there are only sudras. Practically there is no brahmin, no ksatriya, no vaisyas. Maybe some vaisyas. But this is the position
- The constitutional position of the dog is that it must have a good master. Then he is happy. Then he's happy. Otherwise it is not happy. Is it not? Otherwise it is a street dog. Sometimes it is killed by the municipality
- The contents of salt, that is very small, and the contents of salt in the ocean, that is very big. That you cannot imagine. It is like that. God is like you and me, a person. But He is Pacific Ocean; we are drop. That's all
- The controlling of the senses begins from the tongue. If you allow the tongue to eat anything in the restaurant or anywhere, then you cannot become the jitendriya
- The cow has got the grass for her food. You have got food grains. Cow is giving you milk, just to give her protection that, "You take my blood, turn into milk. Please do not kill me." So why these things are happening? Because there is rascal government
- The cowherds boys, the calves, the cows, the trees, the flowers, the water, the gopis, the elderly inhabitants, Mother Yasoda, Nanda - they are all engaged in fulfilling Krsna's desire. That is Vrndavana
- The cuckoo, they try to eat the mango fruit flower when small, and the crow, they eat that Neem tree fruit. So amongst the birds also, there is discrimination according to the quality
- The dark well means if we are put into the dark well, you'll be killed. Hitvatma patam grham andha-kupam, vanam gato yad dharim asrayeta (SB 7.5.5). - You should give up this dark well and go to the forest
- The daughter was young, & he (Cyavana Muni) was like her great-grandfather. Match was not at all suitable, but he had to offer. So this girl also took it seriously, & she was serving the old husband very faithfully like honest, chaste wife, - Never mind
- The deed should be given to the founder-acarya, in the name of founder-acarya, like - A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Founder-Acarya, International Society
- The definition of God is "He is the richest, He is the strongest, He is the most beautiful, He is the wisest, He is the most renounced." In this way, you analyze. There are many rich men, but nobody can say that, - I am the richest of all
- The Deity of Visnu, if one thinks, "This is made of stone; this is made of wood, this is made of metal," and spiritual master as ordinary human being, these are hellish consideration
- The demigod planets means their higher standard of life and span of life, more facilities, thousands and thousands - they are beyond our imagination. Just like Brahma, Brahmas life is described in the Bhagavad-gita, only one day: sahasra-yuga-paryantam
- The demonic people, they do not have the truth. Only a false theory, the Darwin's theory. We have commented upon Darwin's theory also in our book Scientific Basis of Krsna Consciousness
- The demons are always disturbing. Their business is to nullify the existence of God. If there is a certain class of citizens, if they are simply after agitation that - This government is useless
- The Devi, this material energy, has captured everyone, and she is there . . . the more one sleeps, that means he's under the control of maya. And the more he is not sleeping, he's free from maya
- The dharma means to become religious. Why religious? Yes, we require the necessities of life in a regulative principle
- The difference between the Supreme Person and our personality is that He is all-powerful, we are limited. Our power is limited. Everything our, limited. Anu, prabhu. He is great; we are small
- The difference is only that Krsna's personality and others' personality, they are conscious that, "Krsna is our object of love." That's it. The center is Krsna
- The difficulty is that the instruction of Bhagavad-gita, they do not follow. The instruction of Bhagavad-gita is evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh (BG 4.2). One has to learn from the disciplic succession
- The difficulty is that we do not follow the direction of the sastras, therefore we are misguided. As I was speaking the other day, because we have forgotten Krsna for time immemorial, therefore these books are there
- The difficulty of the modern educated person is - not educated, but so-called educated - they are attracted in the city for so many things unnecessary. Just like the club, the restaurant, the liquor and the cigarette, so many things
- The dimension of the spirit is one ten-thousandth portion of the tip of the hair - very small particle, smaller than the atom. This atom enters into the father's semina, and the semina is injected in the mother's womb
- The direct meaning is that we are praying Krsna and His energy to accept me in the society of His service. This is the simple . . . there is no other interpretation
- The dirtiest thing now within our heart is the bodily concept of life. Actually, this is the misconception of whole situation of the modern world
- The disc and club is meant for vinasaya ca duskrtam, for killing the demons and the miscreants. And the conchshell and the lotus flower is meant for giving benediction and blessings to the devotees
- The diseased condition of our present life has to be treated. What is that treatment? To become detached. On account of attachment we are suffering
- The distinction is when a human being is inquisitive, - Why I am put into this miserable condition of life? Is there any remedy? Is there any perpetual, eternal life
- The doctor says, if anyone sleeps more than eight hours, he is diseased. He must be weak. Healthy man sleeps at a stretch six hours. That is sufficient. That's all
- The doctor will give you medicine, but what is this business, that you go to the doctor and counteract the poisonous effect and again come back and again take poison? What is this business? Is it very intelligent business
- The doctors are daily operating, heart operation, and so many finer, finer surgical operation, but they cannot find out where is the soul
- The doctors, the medical practitioners, they give sugar candy. The physician gives sugar candy. The sugar candy, to the person suffering from jaundice, tastes bitter, "Oh, it is bitter." But actually sugar candy is not bitter
- The dog is having sexual intercourse in the open street, and if we have sexual intercourse in a very secluded place and very nice bedstead, that does not change the quality
- The dog is thinking, "I am dog." So if I think, "I am American," "I am Indian," where is the difference? There is no difference
- The dog, if he has no shelter, a good master, he has no position. Street dog
- The dream was that Krsna in His many forms was bowing the row . . . what is called
- The drop of water becomes ocean? Merging is different. But the ocean remains the ocean. And you remain the drop, that's all
- The duration of life has reduced to one hundred years. Not even one hundred years; fifty years, sixty years, seventy years utmost, but within
- The duration of life is limited. It is already destined. According to our past activities, we have got a body whose duration of life is already fixed up. The standard of happiness and distress, that is also fixed up. You cannot change it
- The duration of life may be so long years, but there is death. Death you cannot avoid within this material world
- The duty of the disciple is to fully surrender unto the spiritual master. Unless you can surrender, you do not accept anyone as spiritual master
- The effect of this (Hare Krsna) mantra is stated by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu: ceto-darpana-marjanam (CC Antya 20.12). It will cleanse your heart
- The electric powerhouse is Krsna, but the current comes through some channel. So spiritual master personally hasn’t got to give you any instruction. His business is to carry the instruction of Krsna and deliver it to the disciple
- The electricity is being generated. So behind this energy there is the living entity, engineer. Otherwise it is useless; no more energy. If you drive away that resident engineer, the electricity will fail. No more energy
- The elephant cleanses the body very nicely, but as soon as comes to the land, he takes dust and throws over it. So what is the use of such atonement if I have to commit again? I do it again and again
- The end is the same - sex, that's all, which the cats and dogs enjoy in the street. And they have made this civilization, you see. Working very hard, and enjoy the sex. Is it not
- The enemies you cannot escape. They (senses) will force you again to these material activities. So what is the use of going to the forest? It is simply show, make-show. It has no value. Chant Hare Krsna
- The energy is there, but because we have forgotten the source of the energy or we do not know the source of the energy, therefore we take material things as final. This is our ignorance
- The essence of all scripture, asks you to do - the sastra says, the Lord says - sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66): "Give up everything. Just surrender unto Me." This is the most confidential part of knowledge
- The essence of Vedic knowledge is Bhagavad-gita because the Supreme Personality of Godhead is speaking personally. Take advantage of it. Apply it practically in life and be happy, not only in this life, but the next life
- The essence of Vedic knowledge is Vedanta. There are four Vedas and many branches, eighteen Puranas and then 108 Upanisad. All combined together, the essence is taken as the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- The Europeans, Americans, they are not born in brahmana families, but we are giving and recognizing them as brahmanas because they are being qualified, and they are working
- The evidence is hearing; not by seeing. Our imperfect eyes, there are so many obstacles. So similarly, by direct perception you cannot have the truth
- The evidence is, the proof is, I am implicated that there are different varieties of life. You should know that "Why there are so many varieties of life?" That is explained here
- The evolution should be of the consciousness. And this is Krsna consciousness. When you come to Krsna consciousness, then your life is perfect. And fully Krsna conscious, then you, after giving up this body - no more material body
- The example given by them (Mayavadi philosophers) is that you rise up to a upper place with a wooden stair, and as soon as you reach there, you throw it away, so that you'll not be able to come back again
- 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 explanation of Vedanta-sutra, natural comment on Vedanta-sutra, is Srimad-Bhagavatam. Bhasyayam brahma-sutranam. This Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary
- The external energy is this material nature, and the internal energy, there is another, spiritual nature. As you see this universe, as far as you can see or imagine, it is covered. This is material energy
- The eyes are dictating some way, the tongue is dictating some way, the ear is dictating some way. Therefore, one should be trained up not to be dictated by the senses, but he must be master of the senses. That is called samah
- The eyes cannot work, therefore it is blind, similarly, the hand cannot work, the leg cannot work, the tongue cannot work, because at the last stage when this mechanical arrangement of this body will stop to function, that is called death
- The facility is, the other animals lower than the human being, they have not got to do any business or any profession or go from one country to another to earn livelihood. That is their advantage
- The faith begins from the tongue. "Why?" People will be surprised. "Faith must begin from the mind, from the eyes. And why it is said tongue?" They do not know
- The faith is not blind. There is proof. The cobbler was not blindly believing that Narayana was pulling an elephant through the hole of a needle, but he sees practically, the power of the Lord, how He keeps all the potencies of banyan tree within the seed
- The fan is neither comfortable or uncomfortable. It is the situation of my body that makes me comfortable and uncomfortable. Therefore Krsna says, idam sariram. This body is the cause of my comfortable, uncomfortable position
- The father helps the children to achieve Krsna and guru, that is real father
- The father never exploits the daughter. He gives all protection. That is the duty of the husband also. When she is grown up, she cannot remain under the protection of father. She is given, therefore, to a suitable boy to take charge
- The father supplies the money in the hands of the mother and mother expends for the children, similarly, God is the supreme father of the whole living entities, and the material nature is the agent of the Supreme Lord, and she produces food for you
- The father wants to get her married, to get relief from the responsibility. He has a great responsibility. It is called kanya-daya
- The father's duty, as soon as the girl is grown-up, immediately some boy must be found out and handed over, "My dear boy, I give you this girl in charity. You take care and give her protection." This is marriage
- The father, mother offers obeisances, and the child imitates - he also offers obeisance, bows down. So this offering obeisances to Krsna will not go in vain
- The father-mother's duty is to stop repetition of birth and death. That is real father-mother. Otherwise dog is also doing that
- The feelings of enjoyment is the same, either of the dog or of the hog or of the human being, everyone. The quality does not change
- The fighting between the Kurus and the Pandavas; first of all there was great endeavor to stop the fight. Krsna Himself became the messenger and was going from this party to another
- The fighting spirit is there in Krsna also. So when He wants to fight, in the Vaikuntha there is no possibility of fight. Nobody will be able to fight. Nobody will agree to fight. So there is no fighting
- The fighting spirit, it is to be understood. The fighting spirit is there in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and it is exhibited at a certain period just to teach us when fighting should be taken
- The final cure is when one is not only out of fever, but he is acting like a healthy man. Otherwise it is again there is possibility
- The finer cover is desire - ego, intelligence, mind. And the gross cover is this body
- The first basic principle, knowledge that, "You are not this body." And they will never agree. They will not take this knowledge
- The first beginning is satyam, and our leader says: "This is the qualification of an ass." So just see our position
- The first beginning of human life is brahmacari. Brahmacari means to learn how to restrict himself from sense gratification. That is brahmacari life - the student, student life
- The first beginning of knowledge is that at the present moment, people, although very much proud of their advancement of knowledge, he does not know the, what is the active principle of life
- The First Canto or Second Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam are the two lotus feet of Krsna. So from the very beginning we should hear Srimad-Bhagavatam. Gradually, we shall come to the face. That is real understanding of Krsna
- The first commandment, they give some interpretation: "It is meant for murdering human." Why? How you are killing - not only killing animals, they are now killing children, and they are proud of becoming Christian. This is going on. Simply disobeying

- The first sutra is athato brahma jijnasa: "Now you have to understand what is Brahman, or what is the Absolute Truth." The next aphorism is, immediately, that - The Absolute Truth is that from whom everything emanates, the original source of all emanation
- The first teaching is brahmacari should rise early in the morning. That is the general education. It doesn't require that you have to learn some book immediately. No
- The first utterances, order, or statement, or judgment, is given by the Supreme Lord, and if that is followed through the disciplic chain, that is real understanding, real knowledge
- The first-class example are the gopis or the inhabitants of Vrndavana. They are all trying to make Krsna happy. That is Vrndavana. If here also, if you try to make Krsna happy, this can be converted into Vrndavana, Vaikuntha
- The first-class example is Arjuna. He was a military man, a politician, and grhastha, ksatriya - not brahmana, not sannyasi - but still Krsna accepts him: sakha ceti, - For you are My dear friend
- The first-class example of toleration in the Western country: Lord Jesus Christ. He was being crucified; still, he did not take any steps

- The flies, they go in a nasty place. So you should be cleansed. You should take protection in that way. You cannot kill them
- The foolish leaders, they are keeping us in darkness. Therefore Krsna personally comes. Whenever people are kept in darkness, that is called dharmasya glanih - BG 4.7
- The form is actually different, because this form is lying in your tomb. It is not going. If it has gone, then why the body is here? That is dehantara, another body. How you can say the same body?
- The four classes of men: God, His devotee, innocent person and envious person, demons. So the person who is promoted to the second stage, he'll deal with these four classes of division differently. Isvara-prema
- The four principles of material existence means birth, death, old age and disease. We can manufacture many medicines, many weapons, many means, many methods, but you cannot escape these four principles of material existence, however great you may be
- The four principles of material inebrieties, namely birth, death, old age & disease, nobody has been able to check it in the past history of human society, and how you can believe that in future these problems, will be solved by the advancement of science
- The four sampradayas: Ramanuja, Madhvacarya, then Visnu Svami. Vallabhacarya belongs to the Visnu Svami group, and we belong to Madhvacarya, so there is no difference
- The fourth symptom is that a guru, the spiritual master, encourages prasada distribution, remnants of foodstuff distributed to the public. Ours is not dry philosophy, simply we talk and go home. No

- The German war, First World War, what is the cause? The cause was that the Britishers will not allow the Germans to trade all over the world. They captured everything. And they'll purchase from Germany goods and cheat people
- The Germans, they could not do business throughout the whole British Empire. We know, Indians. So they were very much envious of these British people, and therefore they started two big wars, world war
- The gigantic universal form, the whole, it is described in the BG that He is eating, the whole humanity is going on in His mouth. Then where you will get such food? The whole humanity, the whole universal living entities can be devoured by Krsna
- The girls are getting illicit children and the government has to supply food for them. Nobody is taking care of the girls, of the children. And government has to take
- The goal of life is Visnu, or the Supreme Lord, or God. That one has to understand what is the Supreme Lord, what is Absolute Truth, - What is my relationship with Him and what is my duty towards Him
- The God has begotten many sons. The only worthy son was Jesus Christ - you can interpret it like that - because he was giving service to the Lord, to the father. He brought the message of father
- The God, He is also with me always as friend. So it is said in the Upanisad, there are two birds in one tree. The two birds means I, individual soul, and God, the Supreme Soul
- The godly qualities are there, but it is covered. That covering is possible due to our very minuteness, very small quantity. Therefore we are fallible, but Krsna is not fallible
- The gopis approached Krsna actually by lusty desires, the kamat. Bhayat: and Kamsa was thinking of Krsna out of fearfulness. Dvesyat: the Sisupala, he was always envious of Krsna
- The gopis, the cowherds boys, they did not know whether Krsna is God, never cared to know it. But their love, profound love for Krsna
- The gopis, they are going to Krsna, superficially the same thing, like the young girls are going to a young boy, but they are going for Krsna's satisfaction, not for their own satisfaction. That is the sublime
- The Gosvamis were always thinking of the gopis service to Krsna. Gopi-bhava-rasamrtabdhi
- The government creates the prison house. That does not mean that government wants that somebody should be criminal and fill up this prison house. It is a freedom to the citizens
- The government may be imperson, but the head of the government is a person. Similarly, in the universal government there are so many living entities, just like we are. Not only human being - 8,400,000 species of life, all living entities
- The greatest art is to understand Krsna. If we actually want to be artist, then we shall try to understand or try to be intimately associated with the greatest artist, Krsna. For this purpose, this Society is established

- The guru, the spiritual master and the government should be careful that - These rascals may not make plan. This rascal may not make plan to be happy
- The hands and heads are gone of the human society. So there is confusion, because there is no head who can give you good consultation how life should be led, how we should make progress in life, how we shall fulfill our human mission of life
- The hankering after peace and prosperity in the world in a Godless concept of life is simply an utopian dream. People must take to God-consciousness and surely they will be happy in all respects
- The hatha-yoga system, to sit down in a sacred secluded place, straight right-angular, and looking towards the end of the nose is not possible for everyone. Therefore the topmost yoga system is to chant the Hare Krsna mantra. And actually it is happening
- The head department means the most intellectual part of the society, the most intelligent portion of the society
- The hell or heaven doesn't matter. The next life is there. How you say "one life"? That is defective theory. Therefore this philosophy cannot be accepted. Anything which is defective is not to be accepted
- The higher planets, three higher planets, they are resided by most pious men. They are called Janaloka, Tapoloka and Satyaloka. These three higher planets, they are considered to be the most pious place within this material world

- The human body is meant for understanding this knowledge (Bhagavad-gita), not to imitate the cats and dogs, jumping
- The human civilization is coming to such horrible condition that mother is killing the child. Naturally, even the tigress has got motherly affection
- The human form of life is meant for understanding what is my position. In the animal life we cannot understand that we are in a very, very miserable condition of life in this material world
- The human life begins when we can distinguish between sat and asat. If we remain in darkness, without understanding what is sat and asat, then we are no better than dogs and cats
- The human life is meant for austerity and penance, not for increasing the items of our sense gratification. That is animal life. Human life is meant for restraint. Laws are for the human being
- The human life is meant for sattva. Sattva means existence. We are existing. I am existing; you are existing. But we are sometimes appear to be not existing. That is called death
- The human life is meant for this purpose, to understand how God is working, what is God, even what is His name, where does He live, what is our relationship with Him, how things are being managed
- The human life is meant for understanding what I am and what is God, what is my relationship with God. That is the real purpose of human life
- The human society is divided into four: first class, second class, third class, fourth class, and pancama means fifth class. So these dog-eaters, they are considered as the fifth class

- The human society, human being, is endowed with such nice development of consciousness that there is automatic enquiry, which is explained in the Vedanta-sutra as athato brahma jijnasa, enquiry. Enquiry about the soul
- The human welfare activities are now developed in the form of United Nation. They are tackling various subject matter, but still, it is not possible
- The husband and wife, there may be sometimes disagreement, but according to Vedic literature, when there is fight or disagreement between husband and wife, it should be neglected. Nobody take it seriously
- The husband and wife, working as God has given them to work. So they're working, taking care of the child. So after earning money, they'll go home. They have got a little cottage, and the wife will cook, the husband will eat, and they're peaceful
- The idea (of four sticks within the sannyasa danda) is that "I surrender to my spiritual master or Krsna." Spiritual master is identical with Krsna because he gives true knowledge. Therefore he is as good as God
- The idea of gagana is not perfect idea of the Supreme. Gagana-sadrsa is limited within the purview of our knowledge because we cannot think that anything can be greater than this big sky
- The idea that "This material world is for my enjoyment," that is false. As soon as you take things that "It is for my enjoyment," then it is false. Because you cannot enjoy
- The ideals of human society is broader than in the Middle Age, and the world tendency is towards one state or one human society
- The impersonalist Mayavadis, they undergo severe austerities, penances, and rise up to the Brahma effulgence, becomes merged into it, but again falls down. Just like the spark: it enters the flame of the fire, but there is again chance of falling down
- The impersonalist, as soon as they see some personalist, they begin to attack by arguments. So those who are not very highly developed, they avoid. But those who are conversant, they argue, so on
- The impersonalist, they think, we are cent percent one with the Lord or the Supreme Absolute Truth, but that is not a fact. If one is cent percent one with the Supreme Lord, then how he has come under the control of maya? This question, they cannot answer
- The impersonalists quotes these authorities that, "He has no hands and . . . therefore He's impersonal." No, it is not . . . if He sees, sa aiksata, if He sees, if He hears, if He creates, then there is hand, there is eyes
- The impersonalists, they think that in the material varieties there are so many abominable inebrieties, therefore in the spiritual world all these things should be minus, void. That is their material calculation
- The individual soul is also knower, conscious, and the Supersoul, God, is also conscious. So we also admit universal consciousness, that is God's consciousness
- The individual soul is called atma. But there is another soul, Supersoul. He is called Paramatma. Paramatma is God, but atma and Paramatma, both of them are cognizant. Both of them know things
- The inherent principle is eternally a fact, his obedience to God. But artificially he has covered it. The God consciousness is there in everyone, but by so-called material advancement, he has forgotten
- The initiation means to learn how to open the bottle (of honey). That trick or that craftsmanship you have to learn from the guru, the spiritual master. Therefore, adau gurvasrayam
- The intelligence is that "Why I am put into miserable condition of life?" That is intelligence. That intelligence was found in the life of Sanatana Gosvami
- The intelligent man should know this, that: "I want permanent settlement in my life, but that is not being done." Only intelligent man can understand, because intelligent means to understand we are all eternal. Why should we accept this temporary body
- The iron, stone, wood, they are nothing but transformation of earth. Similarly, vapo, water. So whatever we are manufacturing here, they are simply combination of earth, water, air, fire, that's all
- The jail department is criminal department, prison, where citizens are put into jail and given trouble. So if the prisoner says: "Why the American government has created this prison department?" is that valid question?
- The jihva, in the very beginning, jihva, the tongue, should be controlled. If we can control the tongue, then other senses will be automatically controlled
- The Kabul proposal sounds very nice and hippies are already there. If you begin your movement with hippies, then gradually the local inhabitants will take interest
- The Kali's friends . . . just like a man is known by his company. So Kali-yuga is the age of irreligion. Therefore, quarrel and fighting. Quarrel and fighting, communal fighting
- The karmis, he should think that, "I'll live forever." Otherwise he cannot work. He cannot. Unless he is put into this ignorance that he'll never die, he cannot work
- The karmis, the rascals, he knows also that he will die - at least, theoretically accept - but he wants to enjoy, since the death does not come, to the fullest extent. That is the present condition of the society
- The killer of the animals are two kinds: one, gross killer, killing cows, goats, chickens, so many. Another killer is soul-killer
- The king offered that "Instead of this cow you take ten cows from me. You settle up." No, he would not do that. In this way there was some misunderstanding, and the brahmana cursed him, as a result of which he had to become a lizard
- The king used to rule over the citizens on the permission of the great, great sages. Just like Narada, the devarsi. He used to visit Maharaja Yudhisthira. Similarly, other kings
- The knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is very, very confidential. Jnanam me parama-guhyam yad vijnana-samanvitam. It is not sentiment. It is full of scientific knowledge
- The Krsna conscious person is sleeping, chanting Hare Krsna. This can be done. If you practice this Hare Krsna, even in sleeping you'll chant Hare Krsna. Everything depends on practice
- The Krsna consciousness movement is there to teach people how to become devotee and save from the greatest sufferings of hellish condition of life
- The ksatriyas are trained up, hunting. Hunting is allowed for the ksatriyas. Just like medical practitioners, they are trained up how to practice surgical operation on dead body
- The Kumaras, they said: "My dear father, we are not going to marry. We are not going to be entangled in this material way of life. We shall remain as brahmacari and cultivate KC." Oh, the father was very angry. - Oh, you are refusing my order
- The Kuruksetra is dharma-ksetra. Still Kuruksetra is there in India. People go there for performing religious ritualistic ceremonies. So where is the difficulty to understand
- The land, water, fire, air, sky, these five elements, they are described in the Bhagavad-gita, bhinna me prakrtir astadha - They are separated energy, inferior quality energy
- The last incarnation of Krsna is Kalki. Kalki will come on this planet about 400,000's of years after. But his name and address is also given. Don't laugh. That is sastra, they can speak of future which will happen hundreds and millions of years after
- The last instruction of Bhagavad-gita is sarva-dharman parityajya. You have created so many religious principles, so many concocted spiritual ways of life or material ways of life. Somebody are materialist and somebody are so-called spiritualist
- The last two disastrous war was waged only for this (demoniac) industry. This is the cause. German, they are actually in Europe very intelligent, and their machine products and other things, they make very nice things
- The laws are going on nicely, the law and order department examines. So that examiner, departmental, may be, but the original examiner is the Supreme Lord, Krsna. Therefore Krsna says, maya adhyaksena - Under My superintendence
- The laws of nature is applicable to everyone. You believe this religion or that religion, it doesn't matter
- The leader must be perfect. If the leader is blind, how can I accept such blind leader? I am blind man. What is the use
- The leaders say that "India, giving more stress on the soul, not on the body, India's position is so degraded." This is the leaders' opinion. Big, big leaders, they think
- The leaders, they are blind, and they are leading some other blind men without knowing that they cannot be happy in that way because he is under strict, stringent laws of material nature
- The life of human being is to become Krsna conscious. And you will be peaceful as soon as you understand Krsna. What is that Krsna? bhoktaram yajna-tapasam
- The life was meant for understanding Krsna, but he is cultivating the culture of naked civilization, how to become naked. "So all right, next time you'll remain naked for many thousands of years, standing in one place as tree." This is going on
- The light and the illumination is coming from that localized bulb, similarly, the brahma-jyoti is coming out
- The living entities and the Supreme Being, they are full of enjoyment. - Why we are seeking enjoyment here in this matter? Everyone is seeking after enjoyment. But they are seeking after false enjoyment
- The living entities are described in the Bhagavad-gita, prakrti. Prakrti means woman. And purusa means man
- The living entities are traveling from one planet to another. It is not that we can simply go to other planets by the mechanical arrangement of the sputnik
- The living entity and the Supreme Person as Paramatma, both of them are sitting in this body. That is explained in the Upanisad as two birds are sitting in the same tree. One bird is eating, and one bird is witnessing
- The living entity is entrapped. This body is the combination of these twenty-five elements. So that is for the living entity, saguna Brahman. Saguna Brahman means living entity. But it is not for Krsna
- The living entity is one in the sense because he is part and parcel of God. So if God is gold, the living entity is also gold. That is one in quality. But God is great and we are minute, small. In that way we are different
- The living entity is superior because it is controlling the inferior energy, matter. These are very scientific. It is not sentiment
- The living entity's enjoying the fruit of the tree, and the other living entity, Supreme, Paramatma, He's simply witnessing. Witnessing, and giving you the result of your fruitive activities. That is called karma
- The living entity, his real constitutional position is to serve God. We have several times explained this fact, that the part and parcel of God must be engaged in the service of the Lord
- The living soul who is seated in such a favorable condition, if he does not cross over the material ocean, then he is making suicide
- The living spirit is eternal, the Lord is eternal, and their exchange of feelings, or loving feelings, that is also eternal
- The Lord has appeared yesterday, 4th March. Not exactly 4th March. It is called, according to Vedic calendar, Gaura-purnima, the full-moon day of the month of Phalguna
- The Lord says that "All the universal planets, they are resting on My energy." The weightlessness energy, according to the modern materialistic science, how it is possible? That weightlessness we cannot manufacture
- The Lord says that "One who comes to Me," mam upetya, - he hasn't got to come back to this condition of miserable life
- The Lord says that, "You cannot stop your work, neither you can enjoy the activities, the fruit of your activities." That is the work on spiritual plane
- The Lord says: "I am the proprietor of all planets." Somebody may say: "Oh, Krsna is claiming the proprietorship of everything. How is that?" Because in the material world we are always envious
- The love is there from the very beginning. The propensity was there, and immediately the object of love is there. A girl has got husband; a husband has got a wife. So the love continues spontaneously
- The love is very conducive. Otherwise, love is possible with any living entity. The central object of love is Krsna. That is Vrndavana
- The lower animals than the human being, they have no economic problem. They are freely living. In the morning they do not care where they shall eat. But there is eating
- The lower bodies, less than the human form of body . . . According to Darwin theory, the human form of body comes from monkey
- The lust is dictating that "You do this nonsense." "Yes, I'll do. Yes, I'll do." So in this way, we are actually servant of our senses and the dictation of the senses. This is our position
- The magnitude of the soul is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair, very small. I think smaller than the atom. That spirit soul is everywhere. Sarva-gata. Everywhere
- The magnitude of the soul is stated in the sastra, 1/10000 part of the tip of the hair. We cannot measure even the tip of the hair, and how we can measure it
- The main trouble is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9). It will go on, unless we surrender to Krsna. Better surrender in this life and be perfect; then things are all right
- The man born in the family of candala, he is able to deliver his whole dynasty. Whole dynasty, sa kulam. This very word is used here, pranam punati. He personally becomes purified. There is no doubt about it
- The man does not know, "Where the horses are dragging me, either in the hell or heaven? I do not know." But the horses are not controlled, simply running, high speed. That these motorcars are running this way and that way
- The man must be responsible. To keep more than one wife by trained-up man is not disallowed
- The man or woman becomes lusty accidentally, and there is sex and therefore the creation of the child. This is their theory
- The man was hanged who said it (world) is round. That was their perfect knowledge. So we have to believe such perfect knowledge. When they say their position has changed. We cannot accept such knowledge. It changes every twenty-five years
- The man who is attacked, he forgets himself, and he speaks and walks according to the dictation of the ghost. That is called ghostly-haunted man
- The man who is offering that sacrifice, he becomes responsible. These are therefore there are so many hymns in the Vedic literature. So whole idea is that by offering such sacrifices man is restricted from flesh-eating
- The man who is talking, he is also bad man. Everyone is bad man. Here there is no good man. Do you think in the prison house any good men go there? All criminals
- The master says: "I will give you some money," they will vote. Or in other words, kalau sudra sambhava. Sudra means servant. The dog is faithful servant; that is his only qualification
- The material and the spiritual, there are two natures. So spiritual nature, the living entities they are to be enjoyed by God, Krsna. Krsna says that bhokta aham, - I am the enjoyer
- The material knowledge means pratyaksa. Means "Direct perception." But there are other knowledges. Paraksa: to get from the authority. That is still perfect
- The material nature is apara prakrti, and we living entities, we are trying to enjoy this prakrti. Therefore sometimes the living entity, either man or woman, he is described as purusa
- The material nature will go on changing, and because your material body is susceptible to all the influence of such changes, you will feel pains and pleasure. No pleasure; always pain
- The material power is very gigantic, undoubtedly. That is described in the Brahma-samhita: srsti-sthiti-pralaya-sadhana-saktir eka chayeva yasya bhuvanani vibharti durga (Bs. 5.44). This material energy is called Durga. Duh means very difficult
- The material sound that vibrates, any sound that you produce, immediately it rotates seven times over this earth, and if you have got a machine, you can catch it. Similarly, there is process to catch the transcendental vibration from the spiritual sky
- The material world is a manifestation of Krsna's one-fourth energy. And the three-fourth energy is manifested in the spiritual world. This is the understanding of Krsna
- The material world means they are making progress towards nonpermanent life. So those who are intelligent, they are not interested in nonpermanent life
- The material, physical elements, they are inferior quality, energy, of Krsna. But the superior quality of energy we are, living entities
- The materialistic person, they cannot understand why we are worshiping Deity. They are puzzled. They think, "Why these fools are taking one brass doll and worshiping as God?" They laugh. You see? They cannot understand
- The materialistic person, they have only one experience: this cosmic manifestation. Beyond this, they have no other vision. Their senses are imperfect
- The Mayavada philosopher says that "We are in maya, and as soon as the maya is taken away, we are God." So we are not God, but we manifest our godly qualities when maya is taken away
- The Mayavada philosophy says that, - We are now under the control of maya. Therefore we have forgotten that we are all Gods
- The Mayavadi philosophers say that, for the benefit or for the facility of the neophyte progressing in the spiritual knowledge, we have to imagine some form of the Brahma. That is not the fact. We do not find these things in the Vedic literature
- The Mayavadi philosophers, they are going to Himalayas or some secluded place for personal benefit. But a Vaisnava, he has no desire for personal benefit
- The Mayavadi philosophers, they are thinking, "Again attraction like this? So make it zero, no attraction. Become zero." So their philosophy is zero philosophy. That is also no information of the spiritual world
- The Mayavadi thinks like that, that "We are one, Krsna and we. We are one." Yes, we are one - in quality. The same thing: just like the fire and the spark
- The Mayavadis, they cannot understand that the Supreme Absolute Truth can be controlled by the devotee. They want to become one
- The meat-eaters are the most sinful. They cannot understand. Vina pasughnat, nivrtta-tarsair upagiyamanat (SB 10.1.4). They will have no access
- The medical practitioners say: "We cannot guarantee. We are trying our best. That's all." Similarly, when a person is drowning in the water, if you send a good boat to save him, that is also not guaranteed
- The medical science also says all the energy is coming from the heart. The heart stops to work, that means man is dead. So the soul and the Supersoul both are sitting in the heart
- The mind being affected by the material contamination, we are suffering so-called miserable condition of life. It is due to the mind
- The mind is so strong. Every fish in the water, although they are expert, they're in always in danger. They are always afraid of being eaten by bigger fish
- The miser, the opposite word is liberal or brahmana. Miser knows his self-interest, "How much nice foodstuff I have got to eat daily." That's all. And liberal, - How much krsna-prasada I am distributing to the world
- The miserable condition of life is this body. When I get another body, sometimes we find that on top of the very tall bamboo or tall mountain, I am just now, I'm falling down
- The miserable condition of material life is compared with the blazing fire in the forest. As it is very difficult to extinguish the forest fire, similarly, the problems of material life cannot be extinguished simply by material benefits
- The miserable conditions of material life have been pointed out by Sri Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita. Krsna says that the problem of life is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (BG 13.9), meaning that birth, death, old age and disease
- The missing point is being presented that you are not this body; you are within this body, spirit soul. You just try to come out of this entanglement of birth, death, old age, and go back to home, back to Godhead
- The mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His desire, was preached by Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami. And we are also following in their footsteps and preaching the same message
- The mistake is that we are accepting this body as ourself. I am thinking Indian, you are thinking Australian, he is thinking American, thinking Muhammadan, thinking Hindu. Because we are thinking different way, we have got difference of opinion
- The mistake of the Mayavada philosophy is that "You are the same." You are the same in which way? I am the same in quality, not in quantity
- The modern civilization is everyone is sent for academic education. That is mistake, waste of time
- The modern civilization, they are wanting, "We may have this, we may have that, we may have this, we may have that." "Yes, you take all. But don't talk of happiness, please." That is the only problem
- The modern rascals, they have taken this world as everything. Therefore they are in ignorance. Do you follow? They have taken this world, this life of fifty years or sixty years, at most hundred years, as reality
- The modern scientists, they are of opinion that life comes from matter. We say, "No, life comes from life. Matter comes from life." This is satyam
- The modern scientists, we are trying to go to the moon planet. It is failure. They will never be able to go there. I have discussed this point. We are conditioned
- The modern so-called philosophers, scientists, scholars, they say: "I think. I think." What is your value? The great personality, they will not say like that. Never they will say
- The modern so-called scientist, they cannot make any solution for birth, death, old age and disease; therefore they have left them aside: "Oh, don't care for them." That is ignorance
- The moon planet is situated above the sun planet. They are not going to the moon planet; therefore they have stopped their propaganda. So above that moon planet there is Venus, there is Jupiter, there is Mars, and so many others
- The moon planet, the sun planet, Venus and others, so many innumerable planets, Brahma-loka, Satya-loka, Jana-loka, Mahar-loka - these are information we get from Vedic literature. But Krsna says that you can go, you can enter in any one of these groups
- The more the age of Kali-yuga will increase, these things (human becoming animals) will also increase more and more, more and more. Later on, you won't get foodstuff. You will be obliged to kill some animal and eat
- The more they become materially advanced, they'll decry, "Oh, there is no God," "I am God," "We don't care for God. Why you are clamoring for God?" Their business is simply to decry God
- The more we advance in so-called material amenities, we forget God. So the inherent, dormant propensity is to become servant of God, but material association is checking him
- The more we are indulging unrestrictedly in sense gratification, we are becoming more and more entangled
- The more we become servant of the servant, the more we become advanced. It is very difficult to understand from material stand. Here, everyone wants to become master of the master
- The more we go on chanting, we enjoy loving exchange affair between the Lord and ourself
- The more we shall advance this material way of life, the more we shall be away from spiritual life. The human life, is meant for spiritual realization. Nothing more
- The more you become expert in arcana, ye yatha mam prapadyante (BG 4.11), then the more you become realized, then more you become advanced. So therefore, for kanistha-adhikari, he has to raise himself
- The more you keep the temple cleansed, the more your heart becomes clean. The more you feed the Deity sumptuously, you also feel very satisfaction. This is the way
- The most important, because they (five thousand temples) were established by the Gosvamis - Rupa, Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta, Dasa Raghunatha - the six Gosvamis, direct disciple of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- The most pious activity is to be engaged in Krsna consciousness movement. Pure. Then these are the different stages. Adau sraddha tato sadhu-sango tato bhajana-kriya atha anartha-nivrttih syat
- The most welfare activities, the most valuable welfare activity, is to spread this Krsna consciousness movement all over the world. Otherwise they are being carried away by maya
- The mother eating; from that eating the child is also eating, the intestine is connected how much mechanical arrangement is there? Can any medical science, any scientist connect even this is matter
- The motorcar civilization, it was born. And now the time has come it is dwindling, and it will be finished. Just like railway, railway no more interest, anybody. But when it was invented, it was very important. Now it is useless
- The Muhammadans, they have got a pot, it is called badna. So if the Muhammadan takes little water from the badna and sprinkles upon a Hindu, then Hindu community will immediately reject him, - Oh, he has become Muhammadan
- The muscles become slackened, old man, because the air control or air circulation is not proper. There are many medicines, many practice of yoga
- The name of Krsna is cintamani, transcendental. It is not this material sound, material name. Nama cintamanih krsnas caitanya. Living force, caitan. It is not dead sound
- The natural commentary of Vedanta-sutra is Srimad-Bhagavatam. Jivasya tattva-jijnasa. This is our life, jivasya, of every living being. Every living being means especially human being
- The nature is instrument. Just like any machine. Take typewriter machine. The typewriter machine or any machine, working very nicely, but the machine is not working nicely; the man, the person who is typing, he is doing nicely
- The nature's law is so perfect that if you infect something, some disease, some contamination, then you must suffer. This is nature's law automatically going on
- The nature's law is that to keep up your body you have to kill another body. Never mind it is vegetable or, I mean to say, animal or some fish or something else
- The Nawab called him (Buddhimanta Khan) one day & took little water from his pot and sprinkled, & it was the law, "He has become Muhammadan." So he went to a bhattacarya, "So what is the atonement? Now I have become Muhammadan." Just see the conception
- The Nawab was being massaged, and his wife saw, there is a stripe on the back. So she asked the Nawab, "What is this?" So he stated that - When I was a poor boy, I was servant of Buddhimanta Khan, and I committed some wrong, so he whipped me with a cane
- The negative side is described that he (a grhastha) is not interested with this worldly, so-called advancement of social position or advancement of economic problem
- The next business is to teach others, to make disciple. Formerly, even fifty year or sixty years ago in India, a brahmana would not accept anyone's service
- The next door is a karmi's house, and this house is a temple. What is the difference? The difference is: in this house everyone is engaged to fulfill Krsna's desire, and the other house, everyone is engaged in fulfilling his own desire
- The next incarnation is Lord Buddha. Lord Buddha, he decried the Vedic principles. Therefore he is calculated as atheist. Anyone who does not agree with the Vedic principle, he is considered as atheist
- The nondevotees, the impersonalist, they undergo severe penances and austerities undoubtedly, and they rise up to the brahma-jyotir. Aruhya krcchrena param padam tatah patanty adhah (SB 10.2.32). From there, he again falls down
- The one process (to get out of stringent laws of material nature) is voluntarily giving up. Just like Yudhisthira Maharaja. He is the king. He is giving up a royal dress. Valayadi
- The one who is intelligent, he will take this process that, "I have tried my best to become happy, but everything is failure. Now let me surrender to Krsna." That's all
- The only difference is that Sankaracarya's sampradaya, they take the ultimate Absolute Truth as impersonal, and we Vaisnava, we take the Absolute Truth as person. But Sankaracarya, in his later stage, he also admitted in a different way
- The only fault is that little boy (Prahlada Maharaja), he was chanting Hare Krsna. That is his fault. The father could not. Therefore they are called sura-dvisam, always envious of the devotees. Demon means always envious of the devotee
- The only Lord, master, is Krsna. I have explained, ekale isvara krsna (CC Adi 5.142). Isvara, the supreme isvara, controller, is Krsna. He is the objective of worshiping
- The only process for perceiving Krishna and His name, qualities, form is our sincere service attitude with our senses. Beginning from the tongue, all our senses are practically led by the tongue sense, whose business is to vibrate and to taste
- The only shelter is this Krsna consciousness. Papi tapi yata chilo hariname uddharilo. They can be only saved by this process. Otherwise they are going to hell. All Americans, the so-called puffed up materialist. This is a fact
- The only special significance of human being is that he has got special intelligence to understand what is Absolute Truth. Athato brahma jijnasa. So therefore his first duty is to know the Absolute Truth - not waste time for eating, sleeping, mating
- The only thing is we are rotting in this material world because we do not know Krsna
- The operator is within. So the thinking, feeling, as you were asking, that is not of the machine but of the operator, the soul
- The opposite number is, mahat-sevam dvaram ahur vimuktes tamo-dvaram yositam sangi-sangam. Yosit. Yosit means enjoyable, female, or prakrti
- The ordinary man does not require to search out the guru to find out astrology: "Guruji, kindly tell me what will be the price next...?" Not that guru. Jijnasuh sreya uttamam. One who is serious to understand about the transcendental knowledge
- The ordinary man who is neither Krsna conscious nor a devotee of Krsna, he cannot explain Bhagavad-gita. Whatever they are explaining, they are simply spoiling their time and others' also, big, big scholars - I do not wish to discuss - simply misled
- The original is impersonal Brahman. Now He has taken form. - This conclusion, who makes? - Those who are less intelligent, whose intelligence is very poor
- The original point is that tarko apratisthah. We cannot realize the Supreme Truth simply by argument or logical presentation or philosophical speculation. No
- The other day who was saying that they have now discovered another way of happiness? Flying in the air? Yes. Now the sufferers, or what is called? That (surfers) is not sufficient. Now they want to fly. You see. Another discovery. This is going on
- The other part is dark, now how it can remain dark if the shining from the earth is going there? Every planet is rotating. How it is possible?
- The pancaratrika-vidhi, they do not recognize anybody as qualified brahmin. Everyone sudra, beginning from the lowest stage. Get him conversant in Krsna consciousness, and then initiated, and gradually elevate him by this process
- The part and parcel of the Supreme, they fall down - some of them - not all. So therefore the living entities, they are different from the Supreme. They are one in quality with the Supreme, but not in quantity
- The past, present and future are open for everyone. There is no restriction. No one says: "This class of men shall be good, and this class of men shall be bad." Anyone can become good
- The past, present of our is not the past, present of Brahma. It is relative. This kala is working relatively. Therefore this is called relative world. So this prime factor of relativity is kala. That is the twenty-fifth element
- The path of spiritual realization is for him who has a slight mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Athapi te deva padambuja-dvaya-prasada-lesanugrhita. Prasada means mercy - lesa, a slight
- The people are so much addicted to sinful activities. How they can be elevated? They are condemned. Only this movement, Krsna consciousness, if they take to this movement, they can be saved
- The people in this material world, they are very, very busy. Not only men - even the animals, even the birds, beasts, insect. We see on the beach, there are so many dogs, and they are assembled there for sex. So this is the material world, indriya-priti
- The people of modern civilization, they have no information about this, how this body is being created. That simply busy with the present problem. That's all
- The perfect knowledge means there is no "if," there is no "perhaps," there is no doubt. So we are receiving knowledge from Krsna, the supreme perfect being
- The perfection will be when a yogi at his sweet will can leave this body and can go any planet he likes. Not only within this material universe, but also even, if he likes, he can go to the spiritual planet also. That is yoga
- The period when I give up this body, enter into the womb of mother and manufacture another body and come out, it takes about seven months
- The person has nothing to do with the car, but because he is too much attached to the car, when the car is broken, he thinks, "I am finished." Heart is broken. Like that
- The person who has discovered this nuclear weapon, atomic bomb, he's certainly genius. He has got nice brain, that simply egg-like bomb, if you throw, immediately the whole island of Hawaii will be finished
- The person who is taking very much pleasure, dancing in the sea like fish, so he is contaminating that modes of nature so that in next life he will become a fish. He'll be very free to dance with the ocean
- The persons who are really possessing brain, that is Krsna consciousness men. So at the present moment there is need of such men
- The philosophy is acintya-bhedabheda, inconceivable one and different simultaneously. One in quality, but different in quantity. I have got some creative power, and God has got creative power. So the creative power is there
- The philosophy of Lord Caitanya is that Krsna is the only object of worship. And as Krsna is object of worship, similarly, His place, Vrndavana, Vrndavana-dhama
- The philosophy, it is said, nasau munir yasya (CC Madhya 17.186). One philosopher is differing from another philosopher. Just now today Syamasundara has purchased one book about different philosophers. So that, you also cannot ascertain what is truth
- The physician is giving some medicine and some diet. So if we follow the directions of the physician and eat the diet prescribed by him, there is hope of curing the disease. This is one way
- The pilot may be a small man, and the airship may be very gigantic. You can make still more. But the pilot is the same. So the body may be elephant or a small ant, but the pilot is the same. That is real understanding
- The plan should be made that everyone should be God conscious. Then every plan will be successful. Otherwise all, everything will fail
- The plants, the grass, the trees, they cannot move. They have got leg, but they cannot move. Their legs are made for eating. As your mouth is made for eating
- The platform where we are concerned with the senses, that is called karma
- The politicians, administrative class, they are under the guidance of the intelligent class. They administer to keep the society in peaceful condition, in order
- The politicians, the yogis, the svamis, everyone wants, "There may be hundreds and thousands of my followers." But Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, - No, I don't want
- The post office gives you a letterbox in front of your house. But that little box is not an ordinary box; it is post office. It is post office actually. If you imitate a box like that, and if you put your letter, that will not go
- The pregnancy will take place when there is actually living soul within this material creation, material combination, emulsification. That is the knowledge we get from Vedic sources
- The present civilization is in a shirt-coat civilization. They do not know what is there within the shirt-coat. That they are missing. This Krsna consciousness movement is therefore very important
- The present endeavor is to transfer one to the moon planet. But as we get information from the Vedic literature, we cannot transfer ourself by mechanical arrangement to the moon planet. That is not possible. This is futile attempt
- The present population, godless population, is the cause of all disturbances. In the Bhagavad-gita you'll find varna-sankara. Varna-sankara means unwanted population
- The present senses cannot appreciate. It has to be purified. That purification begins from the tongue. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. Then God reveals
- The president recommends that, "This boy or girl is now living with us for so many months. He's interested. He may be initiated." Then we initiate. But initiate with some condition. Anartha-nivrttih syat
- The president, treasurer and secretary, they will deal directly, and GBC should inspect book, account, that it is done very nicely. That's all
- The primary sense enjoyment is eating, sleeping, sex life and defense. So where there is want of these four facilities? The birds have got these facilities
- The principles, as they are stated in the Bhagavad-gita, it is not limited within Christian or Communist or capitalist
- The problem of life is not to live very so-called comfortably for twenty years or fifty years. No. You are eternal, you have to search out the ways by which you can be eternally situated in comfortable life. That is your problem
- The problems of eating, problems of sleeping, problems of defending and problems of mating, or sex life, these problems are there in the animal life or amongst the living entities lower than the human beings
- The process introduced by Caitanya Mahaprabhu . . . It is not introduced by Caitanya Mahaprabhu; it is the sanction in the sastras: sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam (SB 7.5.23). This is standard method
- The process is first of all you try to understand Krsna. Without understanding Krsna, which is very difficult subject matter . . . Krsna says that yatatam api siddhanam kascid vetti mam tattvatah - BG 7.3
- The process is one should chant and one should hear. That we follow. Somebody leads by chanting, and others follow. So if the chanter is pure, then the chanting will be effective
- The process is sevonmukha, service. Service, beginning with the tongue, vasudeva realization is possible
- The process is that we must approach to a perfect person and take his instruction as it is. Then our knowledge is perfect. Without any argument. We accept Vedic knowledge like that
- The process is very easy, but we do not want to follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gita, but simply falsely I am proud that - I am reading Bhagavad-gita
- The process of reviving their Krsna consciousness is Krsna's. No other process will help. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He was Krsna Himself. He advised, harer nama harer nama harer nama eva kevalam - CC Adi 17.21
- The pujaris allowed him (Bhaktivinoda Thakura) to bring the child before the Deity, and the child was placed before the Deity and a garland was offered by Jagannatha. So that was the first sign of his becoming the acarya
- The pujaris were given in Vrndavana the temple, and they made it a source of income, just like the gosais are doing. Their puja goes to hell
- The purpose of creation is to give the conditioned soul, the rebellious soul, whose nature being constitutional nature is that he should be enjoyed by Krsna, but he has taken the wrong direction, that - I'll not be enjoyed by Krsna. I shall become Krsna
- The purpose of studying Veda means to understand Krsna. And Vedanta-vit. Because people are very much proud, especially Mayavadi philosophers, they're very much proud of becoming vedanti
- The purpose of studying Vedas is to understand Krsna. Or in other words, if anyone has understood Krsna, he has studied all the Vedas
- The purpose of studying Vedas means to understand Krsna, or God. When I speak of Krsna, you understand God. So when one understands what is God, what is Brahman, what is Krsna, what is Paramatma, then he is a Brahmana. This is the process
- The purpose of Vedas is to gradually to bring him to the point of nivrtti. Nivrtti, he has to make. When he has got a slight desire for material enjoyment, he'll have to accept another body. Therefore nivrtti is required
- The quality will change when this sense gratification will be transferred to Krsna, not sense gratification for me, for my family, for my society, for my nation, or for my species
- The queen suggested that "At least you make him (Buddhimanta Khan) a Muhammadan. Then that will be the punishment." So the king, or the Nawab, said, "All right, I shall make him." Because in those days, to make a Hindu a Muhammadan, it was very easy
- The question (about God) may be offered in the beginning, but if the question is sincere, and if he takes the answer sincerely, then he will understand about God
- The question is enquired by the student, and the answer is given by the spiritual master. So how is that (Caitanya asking)? - He (Ramananda Raya) was feeling little agitation. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu immediately encouraged him, - Don't hesitate
- The Ramananda Raya, he was a sudra. According to social position, he was a sudra. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu took lessons from him
- The rascal professors, they say . . . he is saying that, "After death, everything is finished." After death everything finished - why? Why there are so many varieties of life
- The rascal says: "Why God has made one devotee and another nondevotee?" No. Not God has made. You wanted to become nondevotee? He has made you nondevotee, - All right, you become rascal number one
- The rascals should not take example that "Krsna encouraged killing. Therefore everyone should kill. There is no sin," without understanding. This is the difficulty
- The rascals were going to operate. He (the servant) was drunk. In drunken state he was crying, and they took it a case of operation. That is my practical experience. Everything you take there - Operation
- The rascals, they are thinking they are independent. They are not independent. Completely under the control of the material nature. Otherwise why there are different species of life? Where is the arrangement?
- The real Bhagavad-gita is Krsna says that, "You surrender unto Me." Nobody says, neither Tilak, Gandhi, this Ramakrishna, this Aurobindo. Nobody says that. He's made purposefully avoiding his duty. And these rascals are going as dutiful
- The real business is jivasya tattva-jijnasa. Every human being should be inquisitive to know the Absolute Truth. That is the real business of human life. So to come to that business, you won't find mass of people. It is not possible
- The real fact is a scorpion lays down the egg within the rice, and by the fermentation it comes out, just like eggs, and the small creature comes out. And foolish creatures, they think it that the rice is producing scorpion. That is not possible
- The real purpose is that we should give up this asat-patha. Asat-patha and sat-patha. Sat-patham means our permanent goal of life. We are now interested with nonpermanent goal of life
- The real purpose is to realize God. So that (many Chinese, many Japanese, Africans and Canadians are chanting) is being done. So we have to accept the method recommended for a particular age and time. Then we become successful
- The real purpose of marriage is to get children. So if the husband and wife simply love within the mind and there is no action, there is no prayojana-siddhi. We should be practical, not simply theoretical
- The real understanding is that "God, or Krsna, is the supreme father, and we are all sons of God." That is real knowledge. Therefore those who are in real knowledge, panditah sama-darsinah
- The real understanding of Krsna: that this material world is also Krsna. But we do not know how to use it for Krsna. Krsna's energy should be for Krsna's purpose. That is Vaisnava philosophy
- The real understanding should be that if in the real person all these features are not present, how they can be reflected in the photograph
- The religion must be there. But when we give up this religious process, then there is no more human life; it is animal life
- The religious leaders all over the world, take Lord Jesus Christ or Krsna or Muhammad or Lord Buddha. Nobody has said that, "You will be happy in this material world." Nobody has said - You continue this manufacturing of factories, and you will be happy
- The religious life you cannot find in animal society. In the human society, either he may be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddha, Jews, anything, there is a kind of religious principles. So that is the beginning of human life - religion, dharma
- The religious system which I am speaking. - What is that? Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam (BG 18.66), this religion. So if one is neglectful, does not like this proposal, then what is the result? Aprapya mam - He'll never get Me
- The responsibility is increasing, so many things, but this Krsna consciousness movement will solve all the questions. It is such a nice movement. It is a boon
- The root of our material enjoyment cannot be taken away, cannot be uprooted. The first process is called karma, and the second process is called jnana, and the next, it is suggested, bhakti
- The royal family has got very intimate relationship with Krsna consciousness. And as soon as that was broken - because sometimes it breaks - the religious process declined and the royal power also declined. That is the whole history of the world
- The rules and regulations is the drying process. But without following the rules and regulation, if you again become a victimized by maya, then there is water, and again dry it
- The sadhu will speak only on the authorities of sastra. And sastra means the description given by the sadhu. They are correlative. And guru means who follows the sadhu and the sastra. So these are very instructive
- The sadhu, saintly person, beginning from Vyasadeva, Narada, down to many acaryas, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, and latest, Lord Caitanya, in this way, they have accepted, - Yes. It (Bhagavad-gita) is spoken by Krsna
- The sadhus have been described in different way. A sadhu . . . because everything you want to learn, you have to take some penance voluntarily. So we have to give up something in the beginning
- The sahajiyas, they think like that, that by sex one can rise to that platform of merging into the effulgence of Brahman
- The saintly person, he blessed, ma jiva, er, jiva va mara va: "Either you die or live, it is all the same." And there was a hunter, he blessed him, ma jiva ma mara: "Don't die, don't live." This is very instructive
- The saintly persons, learned brahmins and sages, they would give instruction to the kings, because the king was in charge of the public affairs. So they would take instruction from the learned, and by their direction they would rule over the citizens
- The same (scientific) knowledge can be utilized for finding out God. That is mahatma. This is the difference
- The same hand, legs, heads, coat, pant, everything is lying there. Why do you say that your father has gone away? That means the real father he has never seen. He has seen the illusion of his father
- The same human being: one is in the darkness, one is in the passion, and one is in the goodness. And if you come to the goodness, then you see, brahma-darsanam. You can understand what is Absolute Truth
- The same incident sometimes happens in New York temple. When there is a shortage of funds, sometimes they find money accidentally without knowing the source
- The same jungle - I don't speak of the city life - even in jungle life, the aborigines, still they have got some cover. Now they are becoming naked, natural life, nudism
- The same propensities are there, but when it is applied for Krsna, then it is purified, and when it is applied for personal self, it is impure. This is the difference
- The same question was raised by Sanatana Gosvami, that why there should be struggle for existence? Why not easy life, peaceful life
- The same thing (temples of Krsna's Deity, Krsna's form) as it is stated in the Vedic literature, they saw also personally, and they made statues, and they are being worshiped regularly. There are thousands of thousands of temples of Krsna
- The same thing what Krsna taught in the Bhagavad-gita, Caitanya Mahaprabhu taught also in this Bhagavata-dharma teaching, and practically He showed how to do it. That is His specially
- The same Vedic mantra (uttisthata jagrata) is sung by Bhaktivinode Thakura, jiv jago, jiv jago. So we have to awaken them. They are sleeping under the spell of maya, and forgotten his real identity, and suffering - not only this life, life after lifetime
- The Sankara-sampradaya sannyasi are more strict than the Vaisnava sannyasi. Sankara sampradaya sannyasi, they'll never occupy a seat, those who are strictly following
- The sankirtana just now we have performed, it is vibration of the transcendental sound. This will help us in clearing the dust which we have accumulated on the surface of our mind
- The sankirtana movement is not manufactured in this material world. It is released from Vaikuntha, the spiritual world. Golokera prema-dhana . . . otherwise, why you are chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna . . .? It is not material sound
- The sankirtana-yajna is so nice that at once you get transcendental ecstasy, and from spiritual consciousness, you try to join. Even a child desires like that. This is the effect of the sankirtana-yajna
- The sastra has made the path so clear in a way, that in either of these infection, either sattva-guna, rajo-guna, tamo-guna, you can make progress spiritual life. Because we must be in either of these
- The sastra is given stress always. So you cannot go beyond the verdict of the sastra. That is the injunction
- The sastra says that you should become free from becoming a good man or bad man. You must become a devotee. That is required. To become a good man of this world is not a very good qualification
- The sastra says, "In this age, Kali-yuga, because this garbhadhana-samskara is not observed regularly," kalau sudrah sambhavah, - everyone in the Kali-yuga is a sudra, because the garbhadhana-samskara is not observed
- The scarcity is that nobody's doing his real duty. Guna-karma-vibhagasah (BG 4.13). And people are exploiting. There is competition, dissatisfaction, fight. So many things, sinful activities. The whole society is polluted
- The schools, colleges, universities, institutions, they are meant for human being, not for the cats and dogs. So we must take advantage of these books, institution, knowledge, teachers. That is real human life
- The science of God is for persons who are not envious. That is religion. In the Bhagavata you will find in the beginning it is said, Here the religion of Bhagavata is not a cheating religion
- The scientist explain for so many varieties. They accept there are varieties. Why there are so many varieties of life
- The scientist, the philosophers, they are thinking, "This is all. There is nothing beyond this." This is illusion. This is only reflection of the reality
- The scientists have got good brain, but who manufactured the brain? You cannot do it. You have not manufactured your brain. If you say: "By nature," then nature is more powerful than you
- The scripture says the same thing, but it is adjusted according to time, circumstances, audience. So if you simply read scripture, srutayo vibhinna - there are Rg Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, so many - you cannot come to conclusion. Neither by argument
- The scriptures are many varieties. Srutayor vibhinna nasau munir yasya matam na bhinnam. And every philosopher must differ with another philosopher. Therefore, mahajano yena gatah sa panthah: we have to follow the footprints of great authorities
- The second scene is that Kali, the personified Kali . . . a person should be decorated blackish. A blackish man with royal dress and very ugly features. And his queen, another ugly-featured girl or lady
- The seed is the spirit soul, and by material contact it is covered by finer body - intelligence, mind and ego. And according to the quality of that ego, we develop different kinds of this material gross body
- The sense gratification can be available in every life, cats' and dogs' also. Why should we sacrifice the greatest boon of human life
- The sense is there, but if it is artificially covered, then even the facility is there, I cannot enjoy the sense perfectly. Similarly, we have got our senses, but our senses are now covered by this material body
- The senses are already there, either Buddhist or Mayavada. And Vaisnava philosophy is, - Not only come out of this miserable condition of life, but enter into Krsna's family and live peacefully
- The senses are not stopped, but when the gratification of the senses is directed towards Krsna, that is bhakti, and love. And when the sense gratification is directed towards personal self, that is lust. This is difference between lust and love
- The senses cannot work if the mind is absent. Therefore we call "attentively, concentrating your mind." So mind is above the senses
- The service begins from the tongue. You chant. Therefore we are giving you the beads to chant. That is the beginning of service: chant
- The service is his dharma, not this rubber stamp, "Hindu," "Muslim," "Christian." No. That is designation. Actual dharma means the characteristic
- The seva, the service, begins from the tongue, service. Not with the hand but with the tongue. If you simply chant Hare Krsna, this is seva, and if you take prasadam, then your business begins immediately
- The simple method recommended in the Vedic literature, that if you chant this Hare Krsna, mantra then gradually your intelligence or consciousness will be cleansed, and you will be able to understand that you are not this body, that you are spirit soul
- The simple process of worship in this age is this performance as we are doing - chanting, hearing, and offering some fruits, flowers, and showing this candle. This is simple, that's all
- The sinful activities are summarized in four principles: no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no gambling, no intoxication. - I am chanting Hare Krsna mantra, even if I commit some sinful activity it will be counteracted, because harinama is so strong

- The small particle, the soul, which is measured as one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair, when it is placed in the womb of the woman by the man, then the body grows. That is the seed

- The so-called educated or advanced man, if we say that "You have to serve Krsna. This is not your duty. You are going to the office & earning daily five thousand rupees. That is simply useless. It is simply a waste of energy," who will believe it? Nobody
- The so-called educated persons, for want of Krsna consciousness, they can act less than even an animal. You see? They do not care for what is going in the next life
- The so-called foolish scientists don't care for God. They think by so-called scientific advancement all problems will be solved. One of my students, he is double M.A. in Chemistry and Ph.D. I asked him to discuss these things. He has written a small book
- The so-called good men of this world, who are engaged in so many welfare activities, humanitarian activities, by mental concoction, they may be all foolish activities in the estimation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The so-called leaders, they are blind themselves, and they are trying to lead other blind men. This is the social position. Therefore there is no more hope of reviving the Vedic culture
- The so-called meditation is very popular, but what meditation? What is subject matter of meditation?
- The so-called philosopher, scientist and others, they are on the mental platform. Therefore they're inferior, apareyam
- The so-called philosophers, scientists, they have been taught by another not scientist, so he is also not scientist, not philosopher, because he has been taught by another andha. Just like one blind man leads other blind man. So what knowledge he will get
- The so-called protective methods that we have discovered, they will be useless if Krsna does not desire that you should live. They will be useless
- The so-called rascal scientists, they'll never accept that within this body there is the soul, because they're always thinking there is no such thing as soul; only the material, that's all. This is illusion
- The so-called religious system which is full of matsarata, jealousy, that is called kaitava-dharma, cheating in the name of religion. So this God consciousness is not a cheating religion. It is very broad-minded
- The so-called sannyasi, because they are atheist, they say that asatyam, "This material world is maya. It has no truth. What you are seeing, it is illusion." Asatyam. But we do not say like that
- The so-called scholars may take it as ordinary book, but one who is serious about Bhagavad-gita, he does not take Bhagavad-gita, the words of Bhagavad-gita or the teachings of BG, as ordinary teachings. This is confirmed. Therefore it is so important
- The so-called scientist, they are thinking that we are advancing in civilization from the primitive form, transport by bullock cart to motorcar. But that is not actually advancement
- The so-called scientists are saying in other planets there is no living entity. Why? They are putting so many reasons that, "This is lacking. This is lacking." These things are not accepted. You do not know anything about the other planets
- The so-called scientists, philosophers, all dull-headed. It is very abominable condition of society. There is no man who is real brain
- The so-called scientists, Russian and American, for so many years they're trying to go to the moon planet, nearest planet. But there is no shelter
- The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers, their basic principle is wrong, and they're presenting some theories, and that is being accepted by people. That is cheating
- The so-called scientists, so-called philosophers, they have no intelligence. Therefore the whole society in the chaotic condition

- The so-called svami, they will become animal. So that is not wrong. But we devotee, we are not afraid of becoming animal. Our only ambition is that we become Krsna conscious
- The so-called yogis, jnanis, karmis, or followers of religious, ritualistic ceremonies, they think, - How it is possible that these Hare Krsna people have become so quickly self-realized simply by chanting Hare Krsna
- The social division is brahmana first, then ksatriya, then vaisya, then sudra. And there is a spiritual division: brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa. This is compulsory regulation for becoming human being
- The society should be divided into four classes of men. That is natural. Just like in your body there are four divisions: the head division, the arm division, the belly division and the leg division. You cannot avoid it
- The society should be divided with quality and work. That is scientific society. That quality can be divided into four, because there are three qualities in the material nature - goodness, passion and ignorance
- The society should be human society, not the cats' and dogs' society. That is Vedic conception. So in the Vedic conception of life the sex life is there, but you become indebted. You must repay the debts
- The son is given birth by the mother. She (Devahuti) may think that "I have given birth to you. What you will teach me?" No. Because he knows the science of Krsna. Or He is Krsna Himself. Therefore she is taking lesson from her exalted son
- The soul goes to another body and we foolishly worship the dead body, which is useless. This is called bhutejya. In Sanskrit language it is called bhutejya. Ghost worship

- The sound is the symptom of the sky. By sound we can understand that there is sky, ether. Then, by sound vibration, there is circulation of air
- The speculators, by dint of their own knowledge, they realize the Absolute Truth in His impersonal Brahman feature. And those who are yogis, they realize this God, the Supreme Lord, as Paramatma within the heart
- The spirit soul as I have described, one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair, it is very, very minute. From that minute spirit so much earth, water, fire is coming. So why not the supreme spirit, huge quantity of water, earth will not come
- The spirit soul is eternal, therefore he has got to come to the platform of eternal happiness, eternal life and full knowledge. That is the perfection of life
- The spirit soul is not contaminated or does not associate with the material modes of nature. It is simply an illusion, misidentification
- The spirit soul is the basis. Our body, very small particle, spiritual particle, takes shelter in the womb of the mother, and gradually the living spark develops this body. That is our practical experience
- The spiritual master is the representative of God. Whatever you offer to the spiritual master, it goes to God. Just like the tax collector. He collects taxes, but it goes to the government

- The spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. How he becomes representative? What is the test

- The spiritual path, KC path, is just like sharpened razor. You take your sharpened razor and shave your cheek. If you are expert, it will be very clean-shaved. But if you are not expert, there is little inattention, immediately cut and blood
- The spiritual platform, there is no such (Russian body and American body) distinction because it is simply spirit
- The spiritual world, everything is one because everything is spiritual. Here everything is material; therefore they are defining
- The spiritual world, janmady asya yatah (SB 1.1.1), as it is said in the Vedanta-sutra, the origin of everything, the cause of all causes, that is full of spiritual varieties. That is not nirvisesa
- The spiritual world, they want to become servant of the servant. That is a bigger position. So as we make advance in spiritual life, we understand this

- The standard of living condition is thousand times better. Therefore it is called heavenly. So if you like, you can go there
- The state functions protecting the good citizen and punishing the criminals. That should be the state business. Wherefrom this idea came? What is called? Law and order department, or what is that
- The state gives us some rules & regulation to live, & one who follows the rules and regulation or the laws of the state, he is called good citizen, & those who do not follow, they are called outlaws or rogues. Similarly, religion is very simple thing
- The state law is that "Keep to the right" or "left." Everyone accepts. There is no disunity. So if we actually take the words of God, then there is unity. But if we do not take, if we create our own system of religion, that is a different thing
- The state laws, if you are criminal, they put you into the jail. But nature's law is such that you don't require. Your senses will keep you intact in jail. You don't require to be handcuffed

- The sum and substance of this process: that we should be freed from sinful activities. That's all. Then God realization will be very easy
- The sun has its own orbit. Just like this earth has its own orbit, similarly, sun, sambhrta-kala-cakro, yasyajnaya . . . the sun cannot go beyond that orbit
- The sun is present now, and in all his aspect. He is present in his six o'clock, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, and twenty-four hours he is present." One who is less intelligent, think that, - What this man is thinking? What he is speaking?
- The sun planet is described as the eyes of all other planets. Yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam. That's a fact. Unless there is sunrise, you cannot see

- The two birds are sitting in one tree. One bird is eating the fruit of the tree, and the other bird is simply witnessing. That witness bird is God, Krsna, and the eating bird is atma. So He is giving chance, as we want

- The whole worldly affair is going on . . . the godless atheists, they cannot understand it, that behind this wonderful prakrti, so many things happening. It is not happening independently
- The wife can remain as assistant, not for any other purpose. Then, when he is fully prepared, the wife goes to the care of elderly children and the man takes sannyasa
- The wife says: "I want so many, so much, so many dollars for my this purpose." "All right, take it." Therefore in the Bhagavata they are called svajanakhya-dasyu. Dasyu means burglars. So the wife and children, they are legitimate burglars
- The wife you love so much, but the wife may be someday so great enemy that she can kill you for her own interest. There are so many instances

- The woman who is presenting somebody as your father, she might be misleading you. That is a different thing. But you have no other process to understand your father except your mother
- The word God is defined in dictionary as the Supreme Being. What is that Supreme Being? The richest, the strongest, the most beautiful, the wisest, the most renounced - in this way
- The word that, "Not a single blade of grass moves without the sanction of God," that's a fact
- The words, the plans and the instruction which is coming directly from Krsna, that thing we have to accept. We shall not make any our own plan. That is the way of making progress
- The working capacity is going there, but it is so shortened and perfect, you see, "Oh, it has come automatically by nature." Not automatically. The process is so nice and short. That is real explanation
- The yoga process which is very much advertised in your country, that is more or less bodily exercise. Yoga process is very difficult for the modern age. I have several times discussed this point
- The yoga process, by breathing exercise, by that dhokhi process, by sitting posture, so many things - the whole thing is that keep the body very fit, brain clear, so that one can think of higher subject matter very nicely
- The yoga system is a mechanical arrangement. But the bhakti system is above the machine, above this mechanical arrangement. Therefore it is called tad-vijnana
- The yoga system is practically not very helpful. Helpful means we cannot execute this system very nicely
- The yogi's business is that he's always meditating upon the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is yogi. Mad-gatenantaratmana
- The yogis, by meditation, they try to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth by seeing the Visnu form, four-handed Visnu. Dhyanavasthita-tad-gatena manasa pasyanti yam yoginah - SB 12.13.1
- The yogis, by their mind concentrating upon God, they try to see Him. So you must know what is God. Just like our institution, they know what is God, description of God. They can think of God. But if you have no idea of God, how you'll think of Him?
- The younger section become attracted to this movement because we are giving some religious principle based on philosophy

- Their philosophy is that you cannot rise up; you take a ladder. But as soon as you rise, throw away the ladder. No more. No more needed. That is Mayavada philosophy. Our philosophy is, dhyayan stuvams tasya yasas tri-sandhyam - Sri Gurv-astaka 8
- Their whole life is miserable condition, tri-tapa-yatana, adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika, but we are so foolish, we have accepted this miserable condition of life as customary

- There are 8,400,000's forms of bodies, and we are rotating. Because we do not know, we have forgotten how to become free from this cycle of birth and death and transmigration of the soul. This is called karma
- There are 8,400,000, any body I have to accept as it is given by nature. Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani. I am associating different qualities, and prakrti is recording all; automatically it is being recorded what type of body I'll have next life
- There are above this Bhurloka, Bhuvarloka, Janaloka, Tapoloka, Maharloka. There are so many planetary system. And down also, Tala, Atala, Vitala, Patala, Talatala, like that. If you want to go down, you can go down. If you want to go up, you can go

- There are varieties of men, and to regulate them so that the state may go on very peacefully, so this is dependent on the ksatriyas. And they must be prepared to fight to the enemies
- There are varieties of men. Some of them are in good quality, some of them are in quality of passion, some of them are in the quality of ignorance. Therefore they have got different types of faith also
- There cannot be difference between God and His name and His form. So this is science. You'll realize as you make progress. Just like these boys, they're chanting Hare Krsna mantra, they are realizing; otherwise I've not bribed them
- There is a big problem (old age and death), and they cannot solve it, and still they (scientists and philosophers) are proud of their advancement of knowledge. How much foolish they are, just consider
- There is a certain duration of life. Somebody lives for ten years, one year, or six hours, five hours. There are many germs, they live for five hours, six hours, or even less than that. And there are living entities like Brahma, whose life is millions
- There is a class of men who are called svapaca. Svapaca means dog-eaters. So the dog-eater is called candala, pancama
- There is a class of men, they are called asuras. They are sura-dvisam. They are always envious of the devotees. They are called demons
- There is a good brain who has discovered this machine (television). You do not know. You are simply pushing on this button, you are seeing. But don't think it has come automatically by nature. That is not possible
- There is a great necessity for pushing on this Krsna consciousness movement. That is the best welfare activity to the human society. All of them, they are rascals
- There is a great need for this movement. We want hundreds and thousands of preachers to go outside India and preach this cult. And there are customers ready
- There is a great need of this movement, and we are spreading this Krsna consciousness movement, and this is practical, very easy, and just suitable for this age. It doesn't consider how much you are qualified
- There is a problem now, especially in the Western countries, unwanted population. They do not want, but it is increasing. Similarly, unwanted necessities. This is called anartha. Simple thing
- There is a process to appreciate whether Krsna, or God, has form. Unless we adopt the form, superficially it is not possible
- There is a science; you have to undergo training, as these these boys and girls are going under training. You have to come to us; you have to try to learn what is the subject matter, and you have to undergo the process
- There is a skyscraper house, and there are staircases to go to the top floor, say, hundredth floor, and there is elevator also
- There is a station, railway station, called Kurukshetra near Delhi, about hundred miles away from Delhi. So these are facts. Why there should be interpretation?
- There is a story, it is very instructive story, that Narada Muni was passing to go to Vaikuntha, and on the way one very learned scholar, brahmin, met him, and he inquired from Narada Muni where he was going
- There is a verse, atmanam sarvato rakset: "First of all try to save your soul." I think Lord Jesus Christ has also spoken something like that, "If, after gaining everything, one loses his spirit soul, then what does he gain?" Is it not
- There is a very nice story - these are very instructive story from Bhagavata. There was a very nice prostitute. Her fee was, if anyone wants to visit that prostitute, she was charging one hundred thousands of, what is called, diamond pieces
- There is a very nice story. Nice story not, a fact. Savitri-Satyavan. This, incidences are mentioned in the sastras to give us lesson. Savitri was a very chaste, devoted woman
- There is another consciousness who can feel the pains and pleasure of your body and who can feel the pains and pleasure of my body. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita
- There is another living being. He is supreme living being, Krsna. He says that, - I know everything of everyone's body
- There is another sky, spiritual sky. - Sanatana. This gagana will be annihilated at the time of destruction, but that does not annihilate
- There is another sympathy, that "Why the man is getting such disease and suffering? Why not stop the cause of the disease?" That is real sympathy
- There is authoritative statements in all the sastras, but if we do not care for sastra and sadhu and devotees, we manufacture our own way of life, that is different things. We have nothing to speak about that
- There is dimension of the living entity - one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair. So it is very difficult with our these material eyes
- There is discretion, that human being, they should offer these fruits, vegetables, milk as it is prescribed in the sastra, to God, Krsna, and take. That is human civilization
- There is distinction even in wood. There are so many jungle wood, we can use it for cooking. But the sandalwood is so valuable
- There is facility (birth in rich family for self-realization). Because people are harassed for getting food and shelter. Everyone is working so hard where to get nice food, where to get nice shelter. Rich man means he has already got
- There is facility of going back to Krsna, or God. So why do you not accept this cultivation of KC so that you may go back again to Krsna? This is our KC movement, the highest benefactory contribution to the human being
- There is fire, there is spiritual master, there is sastra, there is Krsna - they are all witness. Just like before the high-court judge you promise, - Yes, whatever I'll speak in this court, it is all truth
- There is great necessity to propagate God consciousness to the people. It doesn't matter what religion is there. Religion is one. That is God consciousness, to abide by the orders of God
- There is great need of this Krsna consciousness movement. People are so fallen, they are reluctant to even to hear about this Bhagavad-gita, where everything is explained. They are living like animals. So it is our duty to awaken them
- There is hereditary preference, certainly. If a man is born in a brahmin family, that is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita but by the contamination of Kali-yuga, all higher-class families, they have been contaminated
- There is information in the sastra, accepted by the acaryas. Just like krsnas tu bhagavan svayam (SB 1.3.28), that is accepted by the acaryas. Acaryopasanam. The Sankaracarya even, although he is impersonalist, he has accepted Krsna as the SPG
- There is life, ananda-cinmaya-rasa. Not jadananda. This is jadananda. In the material world, the material happiness is jada. There is no life. But there is a place which is full of eternal happiness
- There is love, but this is all temporary. But if you transfer this love to Krsna, either as your master or the Supreme or as friend or as your son or as your lover or husband, it will never be destroyed. That is permanent settlement
- There is no advance unless one is interested in spiritual life. In this way we are wandering within this universe in different forms of life, in different planets, in different social positions, in so many varieties
- There is no advancement (in communistic movement), because they have to accept one leader, surrender to somebody. But the man to whom he has surrendered, if he is perfect, then it is perfect. And if he is a rascal, then whole system is rascal
- There is no bar for anyone, that one cannot become the spiritual master. Everyone can become spiritual master, provided he knows the science of Krsna. That is the only qualification. And that is very reasonable
- There is no chance of fighting. Everyone is devotee. A devotee will never agree. But they (demons) will agree Krsna's fight, but here, in this field
- There is no chance. Everything depends on some cause. Not that by chance anyone becomes very rich man. No. One has to work for it. Not that by chance one becomes very educated. These things are not chances
- There is no condition, because in this age everyone is addicted to sinful life, but he simply promises that "Henceforward I shall not act anything sinfully," these four principles. Then you go back to home, back to Godhead
- There is no contradiction between Jesus Christ's description and our Vedic description. God is the supreme father. That's a fact. He says, aham bija-pradah pita. Pita means father. So He is father of all living entities in different forms
- There is no difference between the acaryas. Then how he becomes acarya if there is difference of opinion? They cannot be acarya
- There is no difference of taste, so why you are after a woman by paying this one hundred thousands of jewels? - This story is very instructive, and it is mentioned in the Srimad-Bhagavatam
- There is no difficult to understand who is guru. One who follows strictly the principles laid down by jagad-guru, he is guru
- There is no difficulty to become a learned scholar, because we have got so many books. You simply read and digest what we are speaking. Not that we are simply meant for selling books
- There is no disqualification because one is low born and high born. Everyone can take. But he must follow the direction of the proper guide
- There is no educational institution all over the world to discuss this subject matter, how God is great, omnipotent, how I am servant of God. But when we forget our relationship with God, we become subjected to the threefold miseries of material existence
- There is no evolution. Evolution is there in the matter of consciousness. Just like a child: his consciousness is not developed. A child goes to capture a fire because his consciousness is not developed
- There is no expenditure, there is no loss if you chant Hare Krsna mantra and you see the result at home. You haven't got to travel. You sit down at your home and chant Hare Krsna
- There is no expenditure, there is no loss on your part, but if there is any gain, why don't you try it? That is our request. Chant Hare Krsna. This is the process of increasing your attachment for God and Krsna
- There is no fixity of where to sleep. There is no fixity where to satisfy sex. Everything, although such a rich country (America). Why? Because the leaders are rascals
- There is no guarantee what kind of body I am going to get. I do not know. This foolish civilization is going. Save them by this Krsna consciousness. That is the best welfare activity
- There is no guarantee what kind of body you will get. That will depend on your work. You may get the body of a king or you may get the body of a hog, as you have done work in this life. This life is a preparation for the next life
- There is no happiness actually, eternal happiness, transcendental happiness, in enjoying this life, or this youthful age, or family, society. There is no happiness, no transcendental happiness
- There is no harm even if you accept His (Krsna's) word blindly. There is no harm. Otherwise, if you don't like to follow blindly, then consider what is instructed
- There is no impediment to become divine. Simply you have to practice for the post. Just like everyone can become high-court judge. Everyone can become the president of United States. There is no bar. But you have to be qualified
- There is no incongruency if God sits within you. You are a small particle. That is not impossible for God, because it is said, - the smaller than the smallest
- There is no independence, either materially or spiritually. But we're falsely thinking to become independent. That is called illusion, maya
- There is no ksatriya; there is no Brahmin; there is no vaisya. Therefore the sastra says, "In the Kali-yuga there is only sudras"; there is no more brahmin. Of course, there is; not "no more," but very minor quantity
- There is no misinterpretation. Try to understand Bhagavad-gita as it is. Your life will be successful. So try to follow Arjuna. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah
- There is no need for any mental speculation, like, "Kuruksetra signifies the body, Pandavas signify the five senses, this and that." By doing this the everything is spoilt because this is not the actual meaning
- There is no other part. It is direct meaning. If anyone who has not surrendered to Krsna, he is either duskrtinah, mudhah, naradhamah, mayayapahrta-jnana, asurim bhavam
- There is no other purpose of any religion. If in any religion the understanding of God is lacking, that is not first-class religion
- There is no other religion except Krsna consciousness. All cheating religion. We discussed. Dharmah projjhita-kaitavah - All cheating type of religion is rejected, kicked out
- There is no other way. We are the only shelter for these forlorn women
- There is no question of becoming one. Past, present, future, always we are distinct. So how they can be one, sanatana? We are part and parcel sanatana, eternally. But in quality we are one
- There is no question of blind faith. Here (BG 18.63) it is said that, - I have explained to you the knowledge, confidential and most confidential. Now you consider about it, and after due consideration, then do whatever you like
- There is no question of improvement (upon Krsna's words). But sometimes, according to time, circumstances, country, candidate, there is some trick or some ways . . . real business is one must take to Krsna consciousness
- There is no question of independence. Either you remain free or in the prison house, you are under the laws of government. So why falsely declaring independent and don't care for the government
- There is no question of separate attempt - philanthropy, philosophy and nationalism, this "ism," that "ism." We have discovered so many things and diversion of the real duty. That we shall have to concentrate. That is siddhanta
- There is no question of stopping the activities of the senses. That will fail. The yoga system, Patanjali yoga system, is artificially stopping the activities of the senses
- There is no question of stopping your work but you must see whether you are gainer or looser by working that way
- There is no rebirth means there is no rebirth for possessing a material body. Because a spirit soul has neither birth nor death
- There is no restriction that papa-yoni shall remain always papa-yoni. Why? They should be given enlightenment. That is Brahmin-ism. Brahmin means liberal, and just the opposite word of Brahmin is krpana, miser
- There is no scarcity if we believe in Krsna. If Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then there will be no scarcity. Actually there is no scarcity
- There is no science to understand why there are varieties of life, why this tree standing in front of me in miserable condition and I am sitting in this room very comfortably. It is also a life; I am also a life. Why
- There is no scope of studying all the living beings. There is no such scope. You have limited scope. So your seeing power is limited. How you can decide from the limited seeing power
- There is no second religion. There is only one religion. That is God consciousness. Now, as soon as you designate, "Christian," "Hindu," "Muslim," that is upadhi, designated religion
- There is no sinful activities for animals lower than the human being. There is no sin. Because they are under the laws of nature, the animals
- There is no special other program, this (roaring kirtana and offering feast to the Deities with special preparations) is standard, and that is our festival
- There is no stoppage of birth; there is no stoppage of death; there is no stoppage of disease. You can manufacture very good medicine for disease, but you stop disease. That is not possible

- There is nothing to be enjoyed; still, he wants to enjoy. That mentality
- There is occasional world war, but the situation of the world remains the same. No party has become able to change the situation of the world. What do you think, Karandhara
- There is one boy, "D.D.D.," I call him. He is always engaged in making arati, in worshiping Jagannatha. His father sent him some toys. He did not take it. So I asked him, "Why you are not taking the toys?" And he said, - It is maya
- There is one person; his name is Vivasvan. He's the predominating deity. Krsna went to see him and talked with him about Bhagavad-gita. He's a person, and there the people, they are also persons, just like in this planet
- There is one planet within this universe which has got ocean of milk. And in that milk ocean there is another Visnu, who is called Ksirodakasayi Visnu. Ksira means milk, and udaka means water

- There is some injury in your finger or any part of the body. You do not know how subtle work is going on to cure it. Medicine is not cure; medicine is only helping. But there is automatic way of curing it
- There is some transcendental ecstasy, feeling, in the service of the Lord. So in the beginning we may not relish that transcendental feeling, but as we go on, increasing, we'll feel it
- There is spiritual division also, because we are combination of matter and spirit. I am the soul. I am living within this material body. This is actual position
- There is still one place - you know better; you are Indian - there is place Kuruksetra still existing. Dharmaksetra, that is a religious place, place of pilgrimage. Still, people go for religious performances
- There is such proposition that he should exist, he should not exist. Then there must be some authority to give such order. That is answered in Bhagavad-gita. Krsna says, - Under My superintendence, nature is working
- There is the cross. Therefore it has become hackneyed. People are no more interested, neither they can explain very nicely. Neither they follow strictly whatever little information they have
- There is the supreme judgment: "He has done like this. All right, let him be promoted in the heavenly planet." He goes there
- There is the Supreme Person, the supreme controller and there is also maya, which is on the back side. Just like if you stand before the sun or light, your shadow will be on the back side
- There is work, there must be some result. That is our experience. We cannot do anything which has no result. But if that result is offered to God, Krsna, then it is without result. So that work is not stopped
- There may be big fire, but the birds are dancing in the street. They have no problem, because they are living under condition as they have been offered by God
- There may be fight. Somebody may attack us. Not that chanting, "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna . . ." No. They must come forward, "Yes, we are prepared to fight." That is ksatriya

- There may be other methods (to know Krsna), they are all bona fide methods, but they will not be successful. This method (chanting of Hare Krsna) will be successful. You have to take in that light
- There may be questions, but every sincere man must question what is God and try to learn it. That will bring auspicity all over the world
- There may be so many laws, but the real law is what is given by the government
- There may be so many tribulations, but a brahmana is supposed to be very, very tolerant. The first-class example of toleration in the Western country: Lord Jesus Christ

- These material elements, they are inferior quality, and beyond this, there is another, superior quality. That is soul. - Jiva-bhutam maha-baho yayedam dharyate jagat (BG 7.5). So you have to know from the books
- These material pains and pleasure, they are simply touching this body, not the soul. Soul is always aloof. Just like we are on a car. Suppose there is some accident: the car is broken, but not the person
- These materialistic persons, denying the next birth, denying sinful activities, denying God, they're closing their eyes, that "There is no danger. Let us go on doing all this nonsense." But that will not save
- These materialists, they are certainly being pushed in the darkness. But there is another class, who are so-called philosopher, mental speculators, religionists, yogis, they are going still more in the darkness, because they are defying Krsna
- These Mayavadi rascals will say that, "The demigods are also maya, Krsna is also maya, everything is maya." Therefore we call them Mayavadi: everything maya; krsna-bhakti is maya. They say it is good for raising oneself to the platform of impersonalism
- These Naxalites, they are taken to the slaughterhouse, and they are taught how to kill. Therefore they do not care. Immediately beating by rocks, and as soon as he falls down
- These new boys, they are understanding our philosophy? Hmm? You are reading books
- These people (big scholars and philosophers) do not understand what is Krsna. Then what will they speak? This is going on all over the world - in the Western world and in the Eastern world
- These people are wasting time, as if they will live forever. What is the use of this karate? It is very popular in Mexico. But will that method save from death? When the death will come, will the sound "Go!" will save them? This is foolishness
- These people in New York City, they are working day and night. And karma means work and get some profit. That is called karma
- These people, they do not know what is the meaning of a Vaisnava or brahmin. That is not limited with a certain circle or certain country or certain society
- These people, they were not born in India. They are not Hindus. They are not Vaisnavas. Their forefathers never heard what is Krsna, neither they heard. How they are taking? It is the process
- These professional Bhagavata readers, they take advantage of the people's inferior quality, of their weakness, and make money. That's all
- These qualities (satyam saucam daya ksantis) are not to be acquired. These qualities are there, but it is covered. Just like a sharpened knife: the cutting power is there, but when it is covered by dirt, it does not cut
- These rajarsis, they were great personalities. They were, although on the royal throne, they were not for luxury and tax collecting. No. They were just exactly like real father, always thinking of the happiness of the prajas. It was actual democracy
- These rascal misleading and therefore the human life and it is spoiled. - Therefore I was talking about the "What is the meaning of the independence ?" The life is spoiled
- These rascal, they do not know whether he's this body or something other than body, and they're philosopher. The basic principle of knowledge is lacking, and they're philosopher. Cheater
- These rascals are blind, and they are leading some other blind men, and they are satisfied that "We have got all scientific knowledge." That's all. That is not the way of scientific knowledge
- These rascals are so dangerous. They are going against the will of Krsna. You see? So one must be very careful to save himself from the poisonous effect of these rascals
- These rascals are thinking, "We are master." What master you are? You are under the control of nature fully. And these rascals, are thinking, - I am free. There is no God
- These rascals thought that "It (sarva-dharman parityajya) is too much. Why I shall surrender to Krsna? I am also as good as Krsna. Why shall I surrender?" That is our mentality
- These rascals, asuras, they do not know which is the goal of life. But in which way we should direct? These rascals, they do not know. Still, they become public leaders, asuras
- These rascals, these conditioned souls, they want to lord it over this material world, and Krsna has to supply them. That is Krsna's business in this world, simply botheration. Just like so many children, and the father is put into difficulty
- These rascals, they are praising the machine. They have no information that who is the person, what is the brain behind this machine. That is ignorance. That is the difference between the so-called scientists and devotee
- These rascals, they're declaring, "I am God. I am Krsna." So only the rascals will follow such rascals. A man is known by his company. So God has become so cheap
- These senses, present ten senses, cannot realize. Atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih. Indriya means sense. Then how to realize? Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau. When you begin service with your tongue, then gradually God reveals
- These sentiments - morality, immorality, good, bad - they are simply manufactured. Actually, unless one surrenders to Krsna, there is no question of this ethics and morality
- These siddhas, those who are self-realized, athato brahma jijnasa... Even if he thinks that "I am the supreme," That is also light. Just like if you come to the sunlight, sunshine, that is also light, but that is not perfection
- These so-called educated scientists, philosophers, what they are doing? They are simply doing mischief. Therefore they are duskrtina. Duskrtina. Mudha. Mudha means rascal, ass. Because nobody knows what is the aim of life. They're exactly like the ass
- These so-called educated, they are bereft of knowledge. They have no common sense. That I was asking this debauch, as God. That also ignorance. He does not know what is God
- These so-called educationists, unless they get a good job, they are useless, street dog. Useless. They cannot earn even livelihood
- These so-called philanthropists or altruists, they take a section only, do good to them, but neglect others. Neglect others. Or others are enemies. But a sadhu is equipoised. He takes compassion for all kinds of living entities
- These so-called sannyasis, they give up everything - brahma satyam jagan mithya - Vivekananda or this Karpatri. Again they come to these material activities. Somebody takes social work, somebody takes political work
- These statements are there in the Srimad-Bhagavatam in the story of Maharaja Prthu. So prakrti said that, "Because people have become godless, demons, I have restricted my supply." Therefore everything depends on the mercy of the Lord
- These temple activities, they are not in Melbourne; they are in the spiritual world. Just like your Australian embassy. The members of the Australian embassy, suppose they are in foreign countries. They are not in foreign countries, they are in Australia
- These things (consulting physician or learned brahmana) are all gone. In Caitanya Mahaprabhu's time there was misuse also of this
- These things (Drinking tea, drinking wine, smoking, meat-eating, Prostitution) should be taken care of - at least a class of men must be ideal for people, others will see. And the training should go on, just like we are doing
- These things (going to another girl and another man) should be stopped if you'll want to be serious; otherwise, make a farce and do whatever you like. I cannot give you protection. That is not possible
- These things (satya samo damas titiksa ksantir arjavam) are being lost; therefore in the Kali-yuga practically everyone is a sudra. Patita-adhama, adhama. Naradhamah. In the Bhagavad-gita also it is said
- These things (what is the value of life, goal of life, how to revive our eternal life) are to be known, and then your life, human life, is successful. And that chance is present before you in this form of KC movement. Take advantage of it and be happy
- These things will not satisfy you, My dear boy. - Sarva-dharman pari . . . "You give up all this nonsense. Come to Me. I shall give you all protection." But we don't want to take protection. What God will do
- These things you will find in animal's body also - blood, muscles, flesh, bones, stool, urine, nails, hair, like that. So these are the ingredients of the material body
- These three stages (of woman) mean that when she is younger, she must live under the protection of father
- These two classes of men, one is known as demigods, or servants of God, and another is called the servants of maya. Both of them are servants. Nobody is master. That is not possible
- These two groups of cousin-brothers, they assembled there for fighting to decide their fate. So everything is clear. Dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre samaveta, assembled, yuyutsavah, for fighting. And who are they? It is the question of Dhrtarastra
- These two lines (dehino 'smin yatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara) of Bhagavad-gita, that how the soul is transmigrating from one body to another, if we simply study these two lines, then our life becomes different
- These two things are there: sat-patha and asat-patha. Asat means it will not stay. So if you remain engaged in this bodily business, that is asat
- These two things required in human life: jnanam vairagyam. Jnanam means "I am not this body." And vairagya means renunciation - If I am not this body, then what I have got to do with this material world?
- These two things required: how to get the pleasure or the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and how to go back home, back to Godhead. This is the aim, not that we are making plan to be happy
- These vegetable, drugs, are meant for when you are sick or disturbed, you can utilize. Not for intoxication. Just like opium. If you have severe type of dysentery, diarrhea, a little opium it will immediately cure
- They (8,400,000 different forms) are outward dress, the body, which is made of this five elements - earth, water, air, fire, gross five elements - and three subtle elements - mind, intelligence and ego. They are all living entities
- They (aborigines) do not know that the fighting spirit should be utilized to declare war against maya. That is possible in human life. Athato brahma jijnasa
- They (Americans) are already inauspicity. The whole atmosphere is inauspicious. So if there is little more inauspicity, what is the wrong there? The more inauspicity will come
- They (Americans) do not know even the hygienic principle. What is the question of purification? You see? In India the system is from childhood, a child is trained to take bath, to wash teeth in the morning
- They (animals) are sent to the slaughterhouse. These things are happening because they (communist or capitalist) are imperfect. They have no God conscious views. They have crippled views
- They (ants) have also got the same feeling, affection and anxiety, everything. And the human being or the best human being is Lord Brahma in the topmost planet, whose life is millions and millions of years, he is also full of anxiety
- They (anyone who does not know what is God) are not innocent; they are stupid. They are not innocent. They will never agree
- They (atheist class of men) are very educated. - Mayayapahrta-jnana: "Their knowledge has been taken away by the illusory energy." Why? Asuri-bhavam asritah: - Because they have taken to the philosophy of atheism
- They (big mudhas) are falsely thinking that they have become liberated, they have become Narayana. How you can become Narayana
- They (big, big saintly person) used to keep cows and draw milk from them, and whatever fruits are available in the forest, and they have given us these literatures, Vyasadeva
- They (big, big scientists or big, big philosophers) talk of millions of years, but personally they live only fifty or sixty years, that's all. This is their position
- They (birds) know, "Here is . . . enemy is coming," even fishes, animals, they know. As soon as there is enemy, they take protection
- They (blind leaders) do not know what is the object of life, what is the destination of life. Simply in blind faith they have created so many isms. It is simply misleading
- They (brahmin class of men) do not endeavor for material opulence, apparently they look very poor. But actually, they are rich in knowledge
- They (British people) had very good opportunity. Still they have got opportunity. So my request is that let us study this philosophy and science and if possible introduce it to the human society. That is our proposal
- They (Buddha philosophy) do not take account of the mind, because as soon as they go to the platform of mind, then immediately the question will be "Whose mind? Whose intelligence?" Then you have to come to the spirit soul
- They (Buddhists) have got Lord Buddha's statue. They offer lamps, and they sit down. They read Buddha philosophy. It is exactly Hindu temple
- They (cats and dogs) also eat, they also sleep, they also have propensity for sex intercourse and they also defend, in their own way. So if human life is also spoiled only on these activities, then you are missing the chance
- They (child, brahmana, cow and woman) are considered either as innocent as the child or as innocent as the animal. So they should be given always protection
- They (Christians) want to support their killing process in so many ways. They'll never agree that, "Yes, Christ says not to kill. We should stop it." No. They want to support it by various interpretation
- They (color, shape, taste and chemical reaction) are stated for each and every chemical, and we can understand the purity by the characteristic. The characteristic is also called dharma
- They (combination of matter: earth, water, etc.) are very finely analyzed by the sankhya philosophy system, by Vedic system, into twenty-four elements. And according to some, twenty-five, and according to some, twenty-six
- They (communist government) are advertising equal facility to everyone, to the worker. The worker is still working. They are going, still walking on the street to go to the factory. So in this way the whole civilization is going on simply by bluffing
- They (cowherd boys) were equal with Krsna, therefore they could show mercy. You are not equal
- They (Demigods) are very peaceful by nature. But by Your this fierceful appearance, they have become fearful. So because Your incarnation is for them, now You become pacified so that they may also become pacified
- They (demonic people) will tolerate all kinds of noise - barking of the dogs, the motorcar passing, the aeroplane on overhead - but as soon as there is kirtana, they're disturbed
- They (demonic people) will tolerate so many different types of noise, but they'll not tolerate kirtana. That is from the very beginning
- They (demons) are simply thinking that they are perfect, they can do everything. That is not possible. Therefore a devotee knows how to do things
- They (devotees from Western countries) would never agree to sit down under the tree and imitating Rupa Gosvami. That is not possible
- They (devotees) are going for Krsna, that is happiness. They forget the trouble. Don't be doubtful about this at least. You might do or not do, but at least you be convinced that this is the nicest thing we have got. Yes. And there is no comparison
- They (devotees) are not liable for my (Yamaraja) punishment. Even they commit some mistake or fall down, or even they commit a very sinister, sinful activity, still, they are not under my jurisdiction
- They (devotees) are not under the control of maya. They are controlled directly of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore they have no fear. The Krsna says, - Anyone who surrenders unto Me, I take charge of him
- They (dog-eaters in Assam) make a very nice dog preparation. They give the dog to eat rice and molasses mixed together and try to get it eat more and more, so that by suffocation it dies eating, eating
- They (eating, sleeping, mating and defending) should be so regulated in Krsna consciousness that it will not be disturbing element, but we shall make progress further and further towards spiritual realization of Krsna consciousness
- They (fallen souls) are under the clutches of maya, suffering. So various means adopting, just try to save them. This is Vaisnava business
- They (flowers) are also being manipulated by the laws of nature. And what is the laws of nature? The laws of nature is acting under the supervision of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- They (Germany) must have market. But when they go to sell, there is no market. Britishers will not allow to sell them. The Britisher will take, purchase from them, and stamp it, "Made in England" and sell it. And this is the cause of two big war
- They (gopis, young girls) did not know that Krsna is God, but they were attracted by Krsna, by Krsna's exquisite beauty. Kama, krodha. They were attracted. Similarly, Kamsa was attracted to Krsna by krodha, krodha, the anger
- They (Gosvamis) had no collection. And they had no preaching mission. They were simply writing books. Nana-sastra-vicaranaika-nipunau, very expert to study different scriptures, just to get the essence of scripture and give to the people
- They (government) are neglectful about this brain, brahmana. That is the defect of modern civilization. Therefore the human society is in more or less chaotic condition
- They (hippies) are no longer satisfied to live materially opulent like their fathers and grandfathers. In other countries also, the same symptoms are there. Just like in India, the Naxalites. So that is another form of confusion
- They (human being) are put into hell means they are suffering very severe type of pains. "Now, leaving aside all other topics, kindly let me know how these men can be delivered from this hellish condition of life." This is his (Maharaja Pariksit's) prasna
- They (in the villages) will take one napkin and wash the cloth, and India, tropical climate, here also, and spread it on the floor. Within five minutes it will be dry, and then change clothes
- They (Indra, Candra and so many demigods) are looking after the management of this universe. Bhrgv-adayah. But they are also attacked, contaminated, by these qualities of ignorance and passion and goodness
- They (karmis) are fools and rascals, because for illusory happiness for a moment, they are working so hard. Therefore they are rascal number one. How they can have peace? There is no question
- They (Krsna's 160,000 children) had ten children again. This is Yadu family. This is Krsna's family. So many, one person. And that is called Bhagavan
- They (living entities) have come for material enjoyment, and everything is being supplied by the Supreme Lord. We have no right to kill them. The same thing. Just like the father will never agree to kill a worthless child by the competent boy
- They (many saintly persons) are always afraid that - If I mix with these ordinary people in the city, I may be disturbed, I may fall down. Better let me save myself first of all
- They (Mayavadis) may rise up to the param padam, brahma-pada, but anadrta-yusmad-anghrayah, because they could not take up the service of the lotus feet of the Lord, they fall down
- They (mayavadis) say jagad mithya, and take sannyasa, and for some days they remain meditation or aloof from any worldly affairs, but later on, when they do not find Brahman, they come again to this maya to open hospitals, schools, as sannyasi
- They (members of Krsna consciousness) do not think anymore that "I belong to this category." No. Otherwise they could not work. Every one of them completely aware that - We are all Krsna's servants
- They (modern age people) don’t believe in the next life, although practically we see, every moment you are changing bodies. So on the whole, lokasya ajanatah, they do not know what is the value of life. This is the position
- They (modern civilization) are in gross misunderstanding of life. So in order to cleanse their heart to understand what is the position, where they are going, where they are actually, how things are going on, Caitanya Mahaprabhu says ceto-darpana-marjanam
- They (modern scientists) are now silent. They cannot go there (moon planet); neither ever they went there. This is the conclusion. So that is a controversial point, controversial, but we have to see the result
- They (modern scientists) are studying evolution of this matter, organic matter. But actually that is not the fact. The fact is that we, individual soul, that is the real fact
- They (Napoleon, Hitler and Gandhi) falsely thinking, "Without me, everything will be lost." But they are kicked out; everything is going on
- They (our preachers) are violating the so-called laws of the state (by going for sankirtana), they are being punished, similarly, important laws of God, if one violates, how you cannot be punished? This is an instance. Must be punished
- They (people taking Srimad-Bhagavatam) will read. They will see the picture of Krsna. Immediate profit is, they will ask, "What is this picture?" And you will say: "Krsna." "Oh," they say, - it is Krsna?
- They (people) are going on, doing all nonsense without any care. And there is no question of consulting physician or learned brahmana
- They (people) do not know so many things and for which they are suffering in this material world in so many stages of life, in so many forms of life
- They (people) think that this life is meant for highest grade of sense gratification. That is the general thinking. In this (Hawaii) city, any city you go, they are struggling very hard
- They (people) think, "By increasing motorcars, we shall be happy." This is called maya. That will not help. This motorcar civilization will be finished within another hundred years
- They (persons who do not know what is he) have got many things to hear. But one who is interested for self-realization - that is only business of human life - for him, he should only hear about Krsna. - Therefore he (Pariksit) was addressed as Rajendra
- They (philosophy and religion) should be combined or religion must be based on philosophy. Then it is perfect. We cannot separate these two things
- They (pigs) are seeking. The inquiry is for stool. They may take it as food, but after all, it is stool. So according to the body, the different foods are there. That is also described (in BG): sattvika-ahara, rajasika-ahara, tamasika-ahara
- They (pigs) are simply finding out where is stool. In the village the children, they pass stool here and there, and the men, they go to the field and pass, evacuate. So the all these pigs are always loitering there
- They (political parties) cannot give the real law so that the citizens may be happy and peaceful. That is the defect
- They (Ramakrishna Mission) may think themselves that they are very full of life, but I think they are dead. What is the use of fighting with the dead body? Dead horse, and what is the use of you whipping? A dead horse will rise up by whipping
- They (rascal leaders) do not know what is the ideal of life, what is the aim of life. They are creating hodgepodge civilization and putting the mass of people in chaotic condition. This is the sum and substance
- They (Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami) resigned from the service and joined Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement. That is the history. All the direct disciples of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, they were very big personalities
- They (sages to Suta Gosvami) ask the reason, "Why the king, Maharaja Pariksit, punished that Kali in the dress of a king? If possible, kindly describe the reason. And provided it will help our Krsna consciousness." This is the condition
- They (Sanatana Gosvami & Rupa Gosvami) are not accepted in the society. They changed their name, Sakara Mallika and Dabira Khasa. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu picked them up and made them gosvamins. Gosvamins means they are great teachers, guru
- They (sannyasis following the principles of Sankaracarya) are undergoing, severe austerities.Why? Now, to rise up to the Brahman realization - aruhya krcchrena param padam (SB 10.2.32) - param padam, that impersonal Brahman effulgence
- They (scientists & philosophers) are avoiding the major problem (death and old age), and still their problem is civilization, advancement of knowledge. Just see their stupidity
- They (scientists) have no idea what is material world or spiritual world. But in that way a creation took place. Can anyone say what is the theory or. . . of creation? Can any one of you say? What do they say about the creation
- They (scientists) simply theorize in so many ways, but they cannot give us any positive information
- They (Six Gosvamis) were very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the Vedic literatures. Nana-sastra. Sastra, not ordinary knowledge. They were also reading
- They (so-called rascal scientists) cannot explain how this body is moving, why the dead body does not move, what is the difference, what is the thing that is missing. These rascals will not understand
- They (so-called scientists & philosophers) are the heads of education and public leaders. Andha yathandhair upaniyamanah (SB 7.5.31). They do not know what is the objective of life; what for the human life is meant. They do not know
- They (so-called scientists) are promising, "By scientific method, we shall make man deathless." Do they not say? But have they made him deathless? Simply a dream, that's all. Utopian dream
- They (soldiers) know, "We are going to give up our life." And what for? "Money." They are prepared to give up life for money. Money is so sweeter than honey
- They (statements of SB) are correct to the point, without any mistake, without any illusion. That is called sastra. There cannot be any mistake. Just like in the SB you'll find that in the beginning of this age Lord Buddha will appear
- They (sudras) have no intelligence to become brahmin, neither to become ksatriya, administrator, or to occupy political powers; neither they have energy to become very rich businessmen or industrialists. Therefore they are called fourth-class men
- They (temples) were established by big acaryas, by Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnu Svami, Lord Caitanya. There is Jagannatha temple. Every day hundreds and thousands of people are going to see
- They (the devotees) are depending on Krsna, and Krsna is supplying them. Krsna says, "If anyone is completely engaged in spiritual advancement of life then," "I take charge of yoga-ksemam." yoga-ksemam means what is not in possession, to supply that thing
- They (the Gosvamis) never said that "Now I have seen Krsna." Never said. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also said that - I was dreaming Krsna. Why you got Me awakened? I lost the chance
- They (the human society) have no fixed place to live. Today in this hotel, the next day, another hotel. The so many restaurants means that people have no fixed place where to eat
- They (the judges) said: "Swamiji, God is person, you are the first man speaking." Why first man? It is already there. They cannot believe that God is person
- They (the Mayavadis) are thinking that they have become liberated, but actually, avisuddha-buddhayah (SB 10.2.32), their intelligence is not purified. Therefore falsely claiming
- They (the plants, the grass, the trees) are called pada-pa. They drink water by the leg. This is God's creation. You cannot think that how it is possible to drink water by the leg, but it is God's creation
- They (the scientists) are as good as an ordinary man, because they do not know actually the real problem of life. But they are puffed-up
- They (the scientists) have got this loophole. They can speak any nonsense. They will adjust, "Oh, it has changed." That's all
- They (the so-called leaders) want to keep in ignorance the mass of people so their foolish leadership may go on continually. That is everywhere
- They (theologicians and philosophers) do not know anything; still, they are teachers. That is the defect of the modern civilization, that one is not qualified man, and he is teacher, he has become a teacher
- They (these boys and girls) agreed, "No illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication, no gambling. If you are prepared, then I accept you." They are prepared. They have given up. I accept them. That's all
- They (these boys and girls) are coming from your community - they are not imported from India or I have bribed them to do like that (engaged in God's service twenty-four hours). No. They've got an attachment
- They (these boys) are mad after Hare Krsna mantra. It is not due to my bribing them. They're actually realizing that they are in touch with Krsna. So anyone can do that
- They (third-class men) want to be diseased. They want to be criminals. So there must be some department for them. Just like Monte Carlo. So this is a facility for the living entities, for the slight independence which has been given by God to them
- They (those who do not care for God) are subjected to so many tribulations, miserable conditions of life, especially birth, death, old age and disease
- They (three modes of material nature) are directing. Just like in the jail there are different departmental management, similarly, this management is required because you are in the jail. If you don't go to jail, the management may be closed
- They (United Nation) are spending millions of dollars every month, but they cannot stop war. Simply the flag is increasing. That's all. Because it is godless. They may talk big, big words in the assembly, but at heart they are all dishonest, politicians
- They (Vaisnavas) always they are busy in that business, how to deliver. Just like Gosvamis, about the six Gosvamis of Vrndavana, Lord Caitanya's direct disciples, what was their business
- They (vaisnavas) are not unhappy, and they can tolerate any unhappy position. Therefore they come to deliver so many fallen souls
- They (Vedic regulations, Vedic culture, scriptures) are meant for human society. Because they have got developed consciousness they can accept it, they can follow it. If a man wants to become very good man, he can become; he has got the capacity
- They (very big men who do not understand Krsna) have their value in their own way, but according to our line of thought, they have no value
- They (women) have to go and to become a secretary of a third-class person, and unless he gives job, her life is in precarious condition. So is that emancipation? But it was advertised as emancipation
- They are accepting something temporary as permanent settlement. This is called illusion
- They are after their own sense gratification, and they will put a signboard, "I love everyone." This is their business. And fools are accepting, "Oh, this man is very philanthropic." He does not love any man. He loves only senses. That's all
- They are all hippies. So what do we expect? They are taking education, and then, after taking education, they don't do anything. This is a problem
- They are also afraid. Because the Communist movement means godlessness. And our movement is, "Here is God." There is no blind faith. "Here is God, Krsna! You take His name, you take His address - everything." Practical
- They are always conscious, the mass of people, not the so-called educated men, that "In the sastra it is said that this is sinful." So if he commits some sinful activity, he goes to a very expert brahmana. They are called bhattacarya
- They are authorities who know exactly what is God, or Krsna, and they can direct. Therefore sastra says you have to follow the authorities. Otherwise it is not possible
- They are becoming big lecturer on Bhagavad-gita, he has understood Krsna means "black," that's all. And people are following blindly. Big svamiji is speaking
- They are being baffled every step, and still they are trying to overcome the laws of nature. That is their foolishness. Naradhama. Mayayapahrta-jnana. Maya is so strong upon them that their so-called scientific knowledge is useless
- They are blind men and leading some other blind men. And both of them are expanding the path to hell by bad karma
- They are calling themselves as Christian, but they're not following the example of Lord Jesus Christ. But they should follow, everyone
- They are considered that government servant, and very faithful to the country's service, but as soon as a country or government does not pay, everything is rejected. So Krsna service does not mean like that
- They are constructing big, big skyscraper buildings. That we can see. But you don't see anywhere a magnificent church or temple or mosque is being constructed. That means people are going down in the matter of understanding God
- They are creating millions of rascals, not one sane man, the modern civilization, the so-called philosophers, so-called scientists. Don't mind. This is the fact
- They are declining, "There is no God," "God is dead," "I am God," "You are . . ." Because they have no information, no information of. That is material world. That is the difference between material world and spiritual world
- They are decrying Me, neglecting. - Why? Param bhavam ajanantah. "They do not know the real constitutional position of Me." Param bhavam means "the supreme truth about Me."
- They are falsely thinking that, "I am now liberated. I have become one with God." Falsely thinking. It is just like on some purchasing matter that we have become one with God
- They are feeling God consciousness, Krsna consciousness; therefore they are dancing. It is not that I have come from a foreign country and I am giving bribe, and they are dancing like a dog. No. This is directly perceiving the presence of God
- They are fighting like cats & dogs, because cats & dogs have been produced, & they have not been trained up: no brahmacari system, no grhastha system, no vanaprastha system. Therefore, the Vedic conception of civilization is the perfect for human society
- They are following blindly, nonsense, the Radhakrishnan and company. Therefore our Dr. Svarupa Damodara has said: "Krsna, the greatest scientist." We are following the greatest scientist. They are rascals
- They are foolish, all bad men. Manda sumanda-matayah (SB 1.1.10). And if he is supposed to be a good man, he will manufacture some mata, manda-mata, not approved by the sastras. This is going on
- They are foolish; they are trying to conquer over nature by their so-called scientific knowledge. They are such a rascal. You change the color of this fruit and flower, conquer over nature. So rascal
- They are forgetting religion. They take religion as a kind of faith. Faith may be blind faith. Faith is not the real description of religion. Religion means the laws which is given by God, and anyone who follows the laws, he is religious
- They are impersonalists, and falsely thinking themselves as Narayana. Therefore we can immediately test that - Here is a rascal
- They are making so many gorgeous arrangements, big, big skyscraper, big, big roads, and thousands of motorcars. - Maya-sukhaya. - They will enjoy this life for fifty years, sixty years, thirty years, and making big, big arrangements
- They are manufacturing different ways of suffering. And there is no happiness. Simply the business is going on. This is our material disease
- They are not afraid of going to hell? There are two alternatives: either heaven or hell
- They are not doing business. They are attached to temple activities. Anyway, these things have to be adjusted
- They are not fiction or imaginary stories, all the Puranas. Itihasa, yes. So Sukadeva Gosvami is giving an instance from the history which is very instructive
- They are not paid dancer, but why they are dancing? There must be feeling. This is practical. They are feeling pratyaksavagamam
- They are not, of course, very big business magnate or politicians; they are common men. But it is appealing to the common people. There is no doubt about it
- They are preparing their road for going to hell (by manufacturing latest machinery for killing animals). What they will understand about spiritual matters? Nature will not excuse
- They are professing, "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim," but they are enemies, one another. So where is their religion? Just see. Common sense. Even the animals, amongst themselves, they do not say - Keep out
- They are reading so many philosophical speculation, horrible condition of the so-called philosopher, scientist. Simply "I believe," - In this believe, that believe
- They are searching after God. We are giving God: "Here is God. Here is His name. Here is His address. Here is occupation. Here is His father's name, His mother's name." Everything there is. It is not bogus
- They are seeing the SPG as Arjuna is seeing, personally, face to face: Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the origin of everything. As it is explained in the Vedanta-sutra, janmady asya yatah
- They are sitting, two birds - that is stated in the Upanisads - sitting on one tree. This body is tree, and Paramatma and jivatma, both of them are sitting on the same tree
- They are snatching a motorcar mechanic as first class. Because he knows some mechanical arrangement how to do it, he is first class. Such things are being done by the demons
- They are so busy, but because they are fool, therefore they are creating problems. This is fact. Even the animals, lower than the human being, they have no problem
- They are so fools and rascals, they do not know how the life is going on, how nature is working upon us. Everything is in darkness. Therefore Krsna consciousness is the only hope for human society. It is not story; it is fact
- They are so fools that the Americans, they have come here to become Vaisnava and starvation and they have become religious
- They are so rascal, and they are leading, doctor of science, doctor of philosophy. They do not believe in the next life. They do not know how it is being done, and still they are doctor of university
- They are speculating Darwin's theory of evolution. We have got perfect knowledge from the sastras: jalaja nava-laksani sthavara laksa-vimsati - Padma Purana
- They are speculating so many years about this universe, how many stars are there, what is the length and breadth, nobody knows anything even of the material world, and what to speak of the spiritual world. That is far beyond
- They are spending years. They are all European, Americans. They are not Indians. You go to Melbourne. We have got big branch. In Sydney we have got. In Europe. They are doing that. It requires training, proper training. Then it will be done
- They are staying at home, which is the path to hell, and they are absorbed in unlimited desires
- They are taking so much trouble just to deliver the fallen soul from the sinful activities, and those who are being punished, to save them, this is Vaisnava's business
- They are thinking by constructing big, big buildings, just like in Bhuvanesvara they are doing, and having good, very big, big roads and motorcars, that is advancement of civilization. No. That is not advancement. That is increasing their anxiety
- They are thinking by material opulence they will be happy. This is their ignorance. Therefore so much struggle all over the world. It is not the question of India or America. It is the material way of life
- They are thinking that "Here this small span of life, say fifty years, sixty years, hundred years utmost, if we get a nice wife, a nice apartment and nice motorcar, running with seventy miles speed, and a nice whiskey bottle. . ." That is his perfection
- They are thinking that by adjusting this material way of life they'll be happy. That's all. This is ignorance. The whole civilization is wrong because they do not know what is the aim of life. That is the fault
- They are thinking that having such nice house, nice motorcar, nice road, nice machine, nice dress, nice woman, they will be happy. This is advancement of civilization
- They are thinking that, "We are doing our duty." What is this nonsense duty? Real duty is to develop Krsna consciousness. If you are missing that point, the so-called duty is simply wasting
- They are thinking they are free: they can do whatever they like. That is called ignorance, mudha, rascal. They are living under condition, but they are falsely thinking that "We are free." Is it not
- They are thinking they are running on four-wheel motorcar, and the dog is running on four legs. What is the quality change? This is going on in the name of civilization, and people are kept in ignorance
- They are thinking very happy, husband, wife, living together, enjoying. But that is grha andha-kupam. Andha-kupam means if you are thrown into the dark well, it is like that
- They are thinking, "By adjustment of this material world, we shall be happy." That is not possible. The maya, the material energy, will not allow you to become perfect unless and until you surrender to Krsna. That is her business
- They are thinking, "We shall live forever in this house." And Krsna says that "I will come as death and take away all your possession." That they cannot understand
- They are transmigrating from one life to another. There are 8,400,000 species of life. In this way, actually their existence is being spoiled. Therefore Krsna consciousness movement is to give them right knowledge, so that they may become happy
- They are trying for the last fifty years. Why the capitalism is not yet gone? Fifty years at least. They started their movement in 1917. Huh? So how many years? More than fifty. Sixty years. What they have done, progress
- They are trying to get out of this old age - so many medicines, so many cosmetics - but old age is taking place. And so far disease, we can discover many high-grade medicines, but there is no stoppage of disease
- They are trying to go to the moon planet, unsuccessful. They cannot go. Therefore we are conditioned. I am conditioned to live on this planet. I cannot go to other planet without permission. It is common sense
- They are trying to stop fighting by the so-called League of Nation, or United Nation. They are disunited. On principle, they are disunited
- They are trying to unite all nations, spending so much money. But here, we have attempted this Krsna consciousness movement. All parts of the world they have joined. From America, from Europe, Australia, Africa, India
- They are very few, always. You cannot expect that the whole world, whole population of the world, will become Vaisnava. That is not possible
- They are very much attached to this material body and anything in relationship with this body. But the real purpose of human life is to become renounced - no more material body. That is required
- They become devotee of Lord Siva, because by the grace of Lord Siva they get all material facilities. Therefore generally people are very much fond of becoming devotee of Lord Siva
- They believe that "If I act sinfully, then I'll have to suffer next life, & because I did not do properly, therefore I am suffering in this life." Still they believe. But the so-called educated people, they try to set aside this. They say, - Superstition
- They can appreciate that we know better than them. The same example: just like we accept cow dung is pure. Why pure? Because Vedas says. Their scientific way is not like that. Is not that
- They cannot estimate the smallest, and they cannot estimate the greatest. They cannot make any measurement of the outer space, nor they can make any measurement of the minute particles of spirit soul
- They cannot even understand what is the soul. A minute particle of spirit, it is . . . but they do not understand, big, big scientist, big, big philosopher. But the entire subject matter of Krsna consciousness is not of this material world
- They cannot explain why there are so many varieties of life. The varieties of life is there because we have desire, kama. "I want this," "All right, take this." Krsna is immediately prepared
- They cannot understand, these so-called scientists, that we cannot go in this way. There is higher authority. Why it will allow us to go anywhere? Just like the horse running fast, but within the racecourse. That's all. It cannot go beyond the racecourse
- They come to see, visit the temple, offer their worshipful offerings, flowers, fruits, everything. Same thing
- They could not capture the spiritual varieties. Anadrta. As soon as there is spiritual varieties, they think it is maya. That is Mayavada
- They created a caste of gosvamins, just like they created a caste of brahmins. So this gosvami will come by hereditary birth, just like brahmin. So Bhaktivinoda Thakura was very sorry to see the condition of the society
- They declared some unfit person to become acarya. Then another man came, then another acarya, another acarya. So better remain a foolish person perpetually to be directed by Guru Maharaja. That is perfection
- They did not come. They're not willing to become devotee. They want to be God - by intoxication. You see? This nonsense theory is killing so many persons
- They did not know what is truth, not afraid. Why? If one is on the platform of truth, why he should be afraid? They did not know what is truth - beginning from Vivekananda
- They do not accept that, they are foolish rascals. And they are trying to advance in knowledge, active foolish, fourth class men. Their background is wrong
- They do not believe in God, and what to speak about His order and law. This is the position. "God is zero, therefore His order is zero. I can do anything and everything." This is going on
- They do not believe in God, and what to speak of His name, fame, His place, His activities, His form, His quality. How we can know? There is no educational system about the science of God
- They do not believe, avoid the major issue, and they are planning in this life they will live for fifty or sixty years, making big, big plans, saktah, being materially attached, saktah karmani, and discovering new, new methods of engagement
- They do not indulge: illicit sex life - meat, fish, egg-eating; intoxication up to cigarette smoking, drinking tea, coffee; and gambling. These are the four pillars of sinful life. So unless one gives up these four things, he cannot understand what is God
- They do not inquire even wherefrom these living entities are coming, the trees, birds, beasts, lower than human being; wherefrom they are coming they do not inquire
- They do not know anything. They do not know even that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But they do not like to love anybody than Krsna. This is their only qualification
- They do not know even that there is birth after death. Such a foolish civilization. Although we are experiencing every moment birth and death . . . Birth and death every moment, it is going on so finely. It is Krsna's arrangement
- They do not know that beyond the sky there is spiritual sky, there is another nature. They have no information. Even they do not know what are there in higher planetary systems
- They do not know that there is life after death and there is eternal life, there is eternal happiness. They do not know. Karanam guna sango 'sya
- They do not know that there is life after death. Otherwise, why there are so many varieties of life? They concoct their own conclusion
- They do not know that they are spoiling their life. They are thinking that, "I've got very nice apartment, very nice car, very nice wife, very nice income, very nice social position." So many things. These are the material attraction
- They do not know the laws of nature; they do not know what is living entity, what is soul, what is God, how things are going on, how nature's law is working. Nothing of the sort. Simply like animals - eat, drink, be merry and enjoy, that's all
- They do not know the real duty is to approach Visnu, svartha-gatim, interest. They are thinking, "This is my interest." But real duty is svartha-gatim
- They do not know the real problem is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi. Therefore, following the real religious principle means sad-dharma
- They do not know what is God, they do not know, what is the meaning of love. Simply rubber-stamp: "I am Christian," "I am Hindu," "I am Muslim." They are interested only in sense gratification. There cannot be any religion
- They do not know what is sattvic, rajasic, tamasic. Simply ignorance. Defective human civilization. These things have to be learned if you want to make your life perfect, because this is the opportunity, human life
- They do not know what is the aim of life. Na te viduh svartha-gatim hi visnum (SB 7.5.31). They do not know. They are foolish. Andha yathandhair. Their foolish leaders also misleading them
- They do not know what is the truth, and still, they write books, they write commentaries unauthorizedly and mislead public. This is going on
- They do not know what is truth or what is truthfulness. Or, in other words, everyone is liar. I have seen many big, big gentlemen that for nothing they will speak lies
- They do not like to come to us to chant. That is the difficulty. "Oh, we'll have to go there and chant Hare Krsna." So they are afraid. So what can I do?
- They do not study all this science, why there are so many varieties of life, of different grades, wherefrom they are coming
- They do not want to worship anyone. They want to worship their senses, that's all. Sense gratification. What is dictated by the senses, they agree, that's all. Servant of the senses
- They don't care to know what is God, what is our relationship with God, how to act in that relationship. The Vedic instruction, the whole Vedic instruction is for this purpose
- They don't suffer from cancer. So they are in better position than the so-called human society
- They explain, "Nature." But they cannot explain what is nature. We can explain. Nature is a system which is being handled by Krsna. That is real understanding
- They foolishly say that "Omkara is better than Krsna. There is no need of chanting Krsna. That is not good." But so far we are concerned, we say there is no difference between omkara and Krsna
- They get married only for sex pleasure, not for any other purpose. Dampatye ratim eva hi. Otherwise the purpose is husband and wife together, they will worship Laksmi-Narayana and become perfect
- They get their food and shelter and everything, even they live with the wife, children. So Krsna gives. Not only that, that we are simply sannyasi, brahmacari
- They give example, "Others are eating vegetable. That is also killing." Yes, that is also killing. But I have already explained, that because one living entity is foodstuff for another living entity, that does not mean you shall eat your family members
- 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 give this example that "You also kill vegetable, just this grass blade is broken. It is killed. So it is equal to maintaining a big slaughterhouse." You see? This is going on, under the name of re . . . they are Christian nuns
- They give up the reaction of work, being situated in the platform of consciousness. And the result will be that janma-bandha-vinirmuktah, this bondage of birth and death and disease and old age, he becomes free from that
- They go to hotel from miles together to take some palatable foodstuff - restaurant, hotel. And we cannot give nice krsna-prasadam? Why? Why you cannot give
- They go to the church for some material benefit: "O God, give us our daily bread," asking some material benefit. Similarly, Hindus also, they go to the temple, pray to the Lord, - My Lord, I am very much distressed. I have no money. Kindly give some
- They had the opportunity to take advantage of the contribution of great sages, rsis, to study and to become a successful human being, but you are, by force, dragging them from that attitude to this materialistic way of life. This is violence
- They have admitted, some of their party, "If this movement is allowed to advance, then some day they will take our government." They have expressed that feeling. And now they are preparing to fight out
- They have become (dog). But when he becomes street dog? That means he has to depend on good master. Big apartment for dog means he belongs to the master. So he has to find out a good master
- They have become so foolish. They are thinking that this duration of life, say fifty or sixty years, that's all
- They have discovered this nonsense ad infinitum, that future will never come. And they still, will set aside the business to some future and take the credit. Yes. - In future we shall be able to do it
- They have forgotten their nationalities. They are simply under Krsna's flag. This is united nation. The rascal do not understand that how to unite. You cannot unite the whole people on this bodily concept of life
- They have got goods enough; where to sell? As soon as they go to the British territories, "No, you cannot sell. If you want to sell, then hundred percent duty." So price increase. This was the grudge. Everyone knows. This is the cause of two wars
- They have got so much transcendental spiritual pleasure, this sex pleasure - they are astonished: is that pleasure? Phu! (makes spitting sound) That stage is possible. Still there are so many brahmacaris. So everything depends on practice
- They have got their other worshipable. There is Jesus Christ, and others. Mostly they are coming from Christian family. Why they should agree to worship Krsna? No, it is there already
- They have invented nuclear weapon. What is that? To kill. But have you invented something so that no more men will die? That is credit
- They have made the whole aim of life sense gratification. - Indriyartha. And for that purpose, a few years, they're making huge arrangement, "How we shall become happy?" And next life a dog. It is risky
- They have manufactured this ugra-karma world for the annihilation of this world. Russia has discovered the nuclear . . . What is that? Nuclear weapon?
- They have no brain. And still, they're passing on as great philosopher, great scientist, and getting Nobel Prize. But they are illusioned
- They have no idea of spiritual life; therefore they misunderstand. But if we read thoroughly Bhagavad-gita, then everything is clear
- They have no knowledge, and they are misleading. The basic principle of knowledge . . . they have no idea of spiritual basic principle. They take material basic principle. Therefore the beginning of their knowledge is wrong
- They have no knowledge. This material school, college, university, simply producing ordinary animal life. Actual knowledge is here in the Bhagavad-gita
- They have no standard knowledge, no real knowledge. They do not know anything. Still, they present themselves, pretend themselves as philosopher, as scientist, as guru, as father. No
- They have not acquired the qualification of Vaisnava. Simply vesopidin, by dress. So what is there? They could not do for the last fifty, sixty years. Still . . . they wanted to exchange. I stopped it, the Mohini Babu
- They have to judge that - What is the difference between animal's activities and our so-called civilized man's activities
- They lost their kingdom, they lost their wife - insulted. The wife was endeavored to become naked. Never, the Pandavas never said that "Krsna, You are our friend. Why we are suffering so many troubles?" Never. Never. This is pure devotee
- They make one plan. It is frustrated. Again make another plan. That is frustrated. Again make another plan. But they will never agree to accept that these plans are all useless. That is rascaldom
- They make, what is called, spiritual division also. That is their foolishness. Spiritually there is no division. Samah sarvesu bhutesu mad-bhaktim labhate param - BG 18.54
- They manufacture so many demonic ideas, but real idea they forget. Real idea is "God is great; I am small. Therefore I am eternal servant of God." Simple thing
- They may criticize that, "The bhaktas, the Vaisnavas, they have got slave mentality." Some so-called philosopher remark like that. But that is not slave mentality. That is the actual position
- They may not hear it (you surrender unto Krsna) - that is up to them - but as servant of Krsna we have to push on this movement
- They put argument that "You are vegetarian, and you are also killing vegetable life." Of course, we are killing. But we are not killing vegetables. First of all, vegetables are not killed. If I take a fruit from the tree, the tree is not killed
- They questioned, "What is your opinion of Lord Jesus Christ?" and I said: "He preached God consciousness. He's our guru. Anyone who preaches the message of God, he is guru." So they very much appreciated
- They rise up to the brahmanah padavi, and again fall down. Because they have no shelter. So all these siddhis are simply temporary. It has no meaning. It has no value
- They say "street dog." He has no food. He has no shelter. He is lean and thin and do not know where to go. In this way. So the constitutional position of the dog is that it must have a good master. Then he is happy
- They say breathing is the life. As soon as the breathing is stopped, no more life. So does it mean that breathing is life? No. Analyze
- They say, "Faith begins from the tongue." "No," it is surprising. How is that? But it is a fact
- They say, big, big professor, big, big leader, "No, there is no life after death. This is once we get, and finished." That is also another foolishness. Just like a child
- They say: "Can you show me God?" Yes, you will see God. If you are devotee, that you will see God immediately, "Here is God." And if you are not devotee, then you will see God at the time of death, because death is God
- They should know perfectly well that - We are after false enjoyment. We have to come to the platform of real enjoyment
- They should understand the gravity of this movement, my presentation of books. They haven't got so many books. Two thousand years passed, the Christian religion has got only one book, Bible. And their only pastime of Christ is crucifixion
- They simply explain that it (life) is the result of combination only. Just like soap. Soap is combination of acid and alkali. The caustic soda is alkali, and the fat is acid. So you mix this acid and alkali - there is another product
- They simply want to instruct by his experience. But what is your experience? They're all imperfect. But they are persisting, "No, we cannot accept any knowledge without experiment." Is it not the position
- They simply working hard, making plan to be happy. That is not possible. Therefore it is forbidden. Na yojayet karmasu karma-mudhan
- They take it, advantage, - Oh, we shall get all books, we shall live forever. There is no charge, pay
- They think that "If Krsna has spread Himself in everything, then He has lost Himself. So He has no more form," their material calculation. This is called material calculation
- They think that after working very, very hard, twenty-four hours, and driving the motorcars in three hundred miles speed, this is civilization
- They think that moon is the nearest planet, but we do not think like that. But still they are unable to give sufficient knowledge about the moon
- They think that one can improve. That is not possible. Unless he changes the quality, he cannot improve. That is not possible. They do not know it
- They think they are very intelligent, overintelligent. They do not take advice of Krsna even. They are so intelligent that Krsna says, sarva-dharman parityajya, bhaktya mam abhijanati, and still they will stick to their jnana, yoga, karma
- They think, "Oh, oh, Krsna is teaching Yudhisthira, such a nice man, religious person, and He's teaching him to speak lie." If sometimes one thinks like that, he becomes mudha
- They too do not accept knowledge from the authority. They manufacture. How you can manufacture? You are a fool, so whatever you'll manufacture, so-called knowledge, that is also foolish
- They used to live for ten millions of years, and it is very difficult to live for fifty years or sixty years at the present moment. Utmost, a man lives up to eighty years. That's all
- They want to make permanent settlement here but forget that "Any moment, I shall be kicked out of this situation. I shall have to accept another situation." That is the lack of education in the modern civilization
- They want to remain servant of maya. So let Me directly say: 'You rascal, give up all this engagement. Surrender unto Me.' - That is Krsna
- They were blindly following sense gratification. Now it has come to the stage, "What to do?" "What to do?" This is athato brahma jijnasa: "Now enquire about Brahman." This is the statement
- They were initiated before for chanting the holy name; now they will be initiated with a sacred thread. Sacred thread means recognition of complete brahminical culture
- 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
- They were so liberal. He (Duryodhana) said, "Yes, come in. If you want the kingdom without fighting, I am prepared." But a Ksatriya will never beg, "Give me, sir, without . . ." No. If they can own by fighting then they will claim. This is Ksatriya spirit
- They will manufacture objects of worship, but not worship God. They will present so many false God, but they will not worship the real God
- They will say: "We believe in this way," "We believe in that way." So what is that, you believe in that way? What is the fact? If you believe something wrong, is that to be taken as religion?
- They would have to go to beg door to door, brahmacari: "Mother, give us some alms for our asrama." So they were trained from the very beginning to address any woman as - Mother
- They'll not accept knowledge given by God, they'll manufacture knowledge. That is material disease. And that knowledge is also uncertain
- They're (forgetful living beings) put into various conditions of material existence in order to learn that they are not the enjoyers and controllers
- They're servant of maya, this tamo-guna, rajo-guna, and they are manufacturing their own way of enjoyment
- They're simply fighting like cats and dogs. This is not perfect society. They can simply make barking, "Rowf! Rowf! Rowf! Rowf!" That is not perfect society. Human society should be sober. That is Vedic civilization
- They're so unfortunate that although they have got their wife, they go to another girl, and although the girl has one husband, she goes to another man. These things should be stopped if you'll want to be serious
- They're thinking that, "We are very happy without this nonsense God consciousness, Krsna consciousness." They are the most condemned
- Thief comes out of the jail, and exactly after four days he's again put into the jail. This action and reaction - one has committed theft, and the reaction is he is put into the jail - this is not beneficial. Real is that thief must be given knowledge
- Thieves, rogues, cheater - not ordinary persons, honest persons; they are not taken there (to Yamaraja). Similarly, only a few number of the whole human society. Now in the Kali-yuga it is increasing
- Things are prepared according to the order of Krsna, and when Krsna eats, we take the remnants of foodstuff. Therefore we do not fall in the group of vegetarian or non-vegetarian. We are transcendental
- Things which are beyond our perception we have to accept authority. Therefore the Vedic process is, if the world's perfect order is there in the Vedas - not if; anything which is in the Vedas, that is perfect - we have to accept. Vedic, sruti
- Thinking of killing you is also sinful, but unless I kill you, the sin is not prominent. In this age that is concession
- Thinking of Krsna, it is introduced from Vedic literature - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. If you chant these sixteen words, it is not very difficult. Anyone; there is no secrecy. There is no charge for it
- This "harijana" word has come from Gandhi. He did not try to make him real harijana. He simply rubberstamped him. So what is the value of this harijana
- This (Bhagavad-gita) essence of Vedic knowledge is there. It is very simple. Anyone can understand. There is no difficulty
- This (chanting once) material calculation is not made by a devotee. When one is devotee, he'll chant more and more. He'll aspire, "If I could get millions of tongues and trillions of ear, then I could finish." That is devotee
- This (character of sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa) must be systematically organized. That is called dharma. Because the real purpose is, dharmasya hy apavargyasya: just to nullify this miserable condition of material life
- This (chemical evolution) will fail. It is already failed. But because they are fools and rascals, they are still hoping against hope. That's it
- This (developing KC by the instructions of spiritual master) is called devotional service, or bhakti-lata. Bhakti-lata-bija. Just like one small creeper, first of all to sow the seed and water it, then gradually it spouts and gradually grows
- This (dharma, artha, kama, moksa) is material principles. We have to surpass this material principle, then come to the spiritual platform. That is sarva-dharman parityajya
- This (dirt) is due to our material contamination. Therefore we have to revive it. That sharpness, we have to revive. That is Krsna consciousness movement
- This (earn money at any cost for risk of enjoyment) is not new thing, but at the present moment, in this age, this mentality has increased very improportionately
- This (getting a cat's body, dog's body, tree's body) is going on perpetually. Not perpetually - at least for many, many millions of years. But because we are fool, especially in this age of Kali, we do not understand it
- This (going to guru) is the process. But the demons, they do not know this is the process. They speculate; they manufacture. Simply by jugglery of words they manufacture their truth
- This (Hare Krsna) is transcendental sound vibration, and this will help us to cleanse the dust on the mirror of our mind. On the mind we have accumulated material dust
- This (identifying with this body) is the grossest type of ignorance, and we are trying to dissipate this ignorance and bring people to real consciousness, real identity. And that is called Krsna consciousness
- This (if Arjuna does not kill that will make him happy) is material calculation, because he was giving more importance to the material body, what is his brother, what is his grandfather or teacher. He was seeing the material
- This (KC movement) is the topmost welfare activities to the human society, because it is very difficult to understand Krsna, and we, under certain process, we are delivering Krsna, and it is being effective. The process is so nice
