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."

"Those words describing the glories of the all-famous Personality of Godhead are attractive, relishable and ever fresh. Indeed, such words are a perpetual festival for the mind, and they dry up the ocean of misery."

Unless we achieve steadiness of mind, we cannot have any spiritual life.

"When a brahmana is satisfied with whatever comes his way and does not fall away from his religious duties, those very religious principles become his desire cow, fulfilling all his wishes."

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.

However, if we endeavor to improve our Krishna consciousness, the distresses of material life will disappear without extraneous endeavor.

"Therefore we must learn to be always and completely dependent on the Lord."

"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."

"On one occasion the Lord inquired, "Of all types of education, which is the most important?" Ramananda Raya replied, "No education is important other than the transcendental devotional service of Krsna.""

"Therefore, without being agitated any more, I shall deliver myself from the darkness of nescience with the help of my friend, clear consciousness. Simply by keeping the lotus feet of Lord Visnu in my mind, I shall be saved from entering into the wombs of many mothers for repeated birth and death."

"Even if once one is surrendered to Me and tells Me that I am Yours, I will grant him fearlessness. That is my vow."

If one engages his possessions in the service of the Lord under the guidance of spiritual master one will attain happiness both in this life and the next.

"O most powerful, insurmountable Lord, who are kind to the fallen souls, I have been put into the association of demons as a result of my activities, and therefore I am very much afraid of my condition of life within this material world. When will that moment come when You will call me to the shelter of Your lotus feet, which are the ultimate goal for liberation from conditional life?"

"I am completely under the control of My devotees. Indeed, I am not at all independent. Because My devotees are completely devoid of material desires, I sit only within the cores of their hearts. What to speak of My devotee, even those who are devotees of My devotee are very dear to Me."

"For him who constantly meditates upon My presence within all persons, the bad tendencies of rivalry, envy and abusiveness, along with false ego, are very quickly destroyed."

"After many, many births and deaths one achieves the rare human form of life, which, although temporary, affords one the opportunity to attain the highest perfection. 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. 

"Elevated mahatmas who have taken shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are fully satiated by the shade of those lotus feet. Their consciousness cannot possibly become attached to family members."

Our beloved Guru Maharaj says that to remain steady in devotional service we need constant hammering. Srila Prabhupada also gives us many punches through his writings.

"The devotee should first concentrate his mind on the Lord's lotus feet, which are adorned with the marks of a thunderbolt, a goad, a banner and a lotus. The splendor of their beautiful ruby nails resembles the orbit of the moon and dispels the thick gloom of one's heart."

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.

Sukadeva Gosvami continued: "My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins. Therefore the chanting of the sankirtana movement is the most auspicious activity in the entire universe. Please try to understand this so that otheres will take it seriously."

"One should be always satisfied with these three things - their spouse, the food, and the amount of wealth they obtained. One should never be satisfied with these three things - the amount of scriptural study, the amount of chanting and the amount of charity they performed."

By showing mercy to all living entities, being satisfied somehow or other and controlling the senses from sense enjoyment, one can very quickly satisfy the Supreme Personality of  Godhead, Janardana.

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?

Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, O son of Kunti, that state he will attain without fail

"One should know the aacaarya 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."

"From the house of a vaishnava only the sound vibration of the Srimad Bhagavatam should come. If there are a few members in the family they should take turns to recite Srimad Bhagavatam so that continuously this auspicious and transcendental sound vibration is going on. If the transcendental sound vibration is there, everything else will be arranged automatically in our lives."

"Therefore, O Lord, O Transcendence, kindly help us by giving us the power to execute bhakti yoga so that we can control our restless minds and fix them upon You. We are all infected by Your illusory energy; therefore we are very attached to the body, which is full of stool and urine, and to anything related with the body. Except for devotional service, there is no way to give up this attachment. Therefore kindly bestow upon us this benediction."

"Materialists are generally very attached to their present bodily comforts and to the bodily comforts they expect in the future. Therefore they are always absorbed in thoughts of their wives, children and wealth and are afraid of giving up their bodies, which are full of stool and urine. If a person engaged in Krishna consciousness, however, is also afraid of giving up his body, what is the use of his having labored to study the shastras? It was simply a waste of time."
