One should know the acarya as Myself and never disrespect him in any way. One should not envy him, thinking him an ordinary man, for he is the representative of all the demigods

One should learn to avoid duplicity in his dealings with others

.Any time the idea comes of popularity, please shun from it. We don't want it. Two people are enough. A grain of devotion is more valuable than tonnes of faithlessness.

Now with all the amenties and wealth can we not work hard ? Enough of sleeping and enough of dancing and other non-sensical things. Otherwise you are wasting our time and polluting the whole atmosphere. Nobody will allow you here, if you don't change. Now please repeat - One should become a perfect gentleman and learn to give proper respect to others.

Humility; pridelessness; nonviolence; tolerance; simplicity; approaching a bona fide spiritual master; cleanliness; steadiness; self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification; absence of false ego; the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; detachment; freedom from entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest; even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me; aspiring to live in a solitary place; detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth — all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance

when we say Hare Krishna, it becomes good - be it morning or evening. So we need not tell anything else other than Hare Krishna.

Since neither Lord Shiva nor you nor I could ascertain the limits of spiritual happiness, how can other demigods know it? And because all of us are bewildered by the illusory external energy of the Supreme Lord, we can see only this manifested cosmos according to our individual ability

The Lord, who is supreme and is the oldest of all, is unlimitedly merciful. I wish that He may smilingly bestow His benediction upon me by opening His lotus eyes. He can uplift the entire cosmic creation and remove our dejection by kindly speaking His directions

Then, due to his great love and feeling, Vidura embraced him [Uddhava], who was a constant companion of Lord Krishna and formerly a great student of Brhaspati's. Vidura then asked him for news of the family of Lord Krishna, the Personality of Godhead

We are all having common time. That is Krishna's arrangement and Krishna is the 'complete whole' to send us all together on this planet and because He has sent us all together in this planet, it is our duty to save each other

Lord Krishna was sent by Arjuna into the assembly as the spiritual master of the whole world, and although His words were heard by some [like Bhishma] as pure nectar, it was not so for the others, who were completely bereft of the last farthing of past pious works. The King [Dhrtarashtra or Duryodhana] did not take the words of Lord Krishna very seriously.

The good preceptor although he appears to belong to this world is not really of this world.

A devotee cannot be called devotee unless he or she renunciates all the nasty demands of mind. And once we are successful in renunciation, the time that we save should be utilized in proper devotional service.

Just see how greatly illusioned I am! Because I cannot control my mind, just like a fool I desire lusty pleasure from an insignificant man

By any means, I do not desert anyone who arrives with a friendly appearance, even if he has a defect. His acceptance is irreproachable in the eyes of good me

There is no possibility of one's becoming a yogi, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough

The secret of success in spiritual life is in satisfying the spiritual master and thereby getting his sincere blessings

While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.

If you want to keep the body very clean, you have to get attached to Krishna who is always fresh and who is anti material.

O Krishna, I offer my obeisances unto You because You are the original personality and are unaffected by the qualities of the material world. You are existing both within and without everything, yet You are invisible to all.

Because we are complicating our lives like this, we don’t have a single second to spare to understand the Supreme Absolute Truth
