    We should carve one thing in our mind. Everything is under the control of Krishna. Whether we like it or not, it is a fact. Because He is the supreme controller, if He allows, then only we can see and hear each other. The domain of Krishna is completely unknown to us. Our sincerity alone will give the peep into that domain.

    "Please, therefore, describe the Almighty Lord’s activities which you have learned by your vast knowledge of the Vedas, for that will satisfy the hankerings of great learned men and at the same time mitigate the miseries of the masses of common people who are always suffering from material pangs. Indeed, there is no other way to get out of such miseries."

    On 23rd May morning, our beloved Guru Maharaja gave a very wonderful Srimad Bhagavatam class. He started with Jaya Radha Madhav and explained the importance of singing any bhajana with bhava because Krsna is 'bhava grahi'. Then, he enlightened all the devotees on a number of other things including how we can close our material account of envy by explaining Srimad Bhagavatam verses 3.32.39-42.

    "My Lord Nrsimhadeva, O Supreme, because of a bodily conception of life, embodied souls neglected and not cared for by You cannot do anything for their betterment. Whatever remedies they accept, although perhaps temporarily beneficial, are certainly impermanent. For example, a father and mother cannot protect their child, a physician and medicine cannot relieve a suffering patient, and a boat on the ocean cannot protect a drowning man."

Thus a sober human being should quickly endeavor for the ultimate perfection of life as long as his body, which is always subject to death, has not fallen down and died. After all, sense gratification is available even in the most abominable species of life, whereas Krishna consciousness is possible only for a human being."

    If I am a devotee then every thought of mine, every action of mine must be directed only towards serving Krishna. There is nothing like my material activities and my spiritual activities. If every activity is directed towards serving Krishna then I am always engaged in devotional service every moment of my life. This is honesty. If we do our jobs like our Guru Maharaj instructs, then we are honest to our Guru and honest to our jobs.

    The place, the time, the cause, the purpose, the activity and the ambition were all the same for both the demigods and the demons, but the demigods achieved one result and the demons another. Because the demigods are always under the shelter of the dust of the Lord’s lotus feet, they could very easily drink the nectar and get its result. The demons, however, not having sought the shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord, were unable to achieve the result they desired.

    Glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is performed in the parampara system; that is, it is conveyed from spiritual master to disciple. Such glorification is relished by those no longer interested in the false, temporary glorification of this cosmic manifestation. Descriptions of the Lord are the right medicine for the conditioned soul undergoing repeated birth and death. Therefore, who will cease hearing such glorification of the Lord except a butcher or one who is killing his own self?
