The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: "Those who fix their minds on My personal form and are always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith are considered by Me to be most perfect."

Maharaj says that simply by blaming ourselves we can solve most of the problems of our life.

"One who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worshipable demigod."

So even if our efforts are not recognised by our superiors, and our hardwork fails to lead to success in this lifetime, we should not give up but continue to do our duties sincerely for the pleasure of Lord.

When a particular type of occupation is performed for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord, all the defects in that particular occupation are purified. When the results of work are purified, when connected with devotional service, one becomes perfect in seeing the self within, and that is self-realization.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His feature of eternal time, is present in the material world and is neutral towards everyone. No one is His ally, and no one is His enemy.

"O best of the Brahmanas, many men may have laid down their lives on the battlefield, being unafraid of fighting, but rarely has one gotten the chance to give his accumulated wealth faithfully to a saintly person who creates holy places."

Anyone who inflicts pains upon others suffers himself from that pain.

I can chant with steady mind without Nama aparadha and understand the constitutional position of my existence.

In that peaceful state execution of devotional service has not only been possible but also being enlivening.
