    we think that way that America has nothing to do with the Pacific. So Americans can have nuclear test in Pacific and we will not be troubled, No! Anywhere you have the disturbance on the planet it's all one consciousness. So everybody has to experience.

    Please try to understand this. And unless you feel for the others, our life is useless. And because Prabhupada felt for the others in old age he tried to, he tried to go all the seven seas and then tried to preach there with all the inconvenience.

    It's very nicely said in English that we should put ourselves into others shoes, then we can know something.

     Prahlāda was not burnt because he had unflinchingly faith in the names of Kṛṣṇa and he was chanting all the time. That’s why he was not burnt. Gopas were not burnt when the forest fire was there. Because Kṛṣṇa was there. Always they ran to Kṛṣṇa for protection.

    We were, we were rebellious in Kṛṣṇa's realm. We were envious really that, "why should He enjoy, why should I not enjoy?" Instead of being His servant we had a bit of rebellious attitude.

    We must learn to be tolerant of things that happen to us, we must be always thoughtful of and thankful to Lord under all circumstances, because everything in life is owing to Him.

    Lord Rama is the fountainhead of joy. Attachment to Him (by serving Him) is an eternal (transcendental) gain.  Any other form of attachment (in this illusory world) is a source of pain.

    The highest moral principle is to act toward God and He will make the conditions favourable for all the living entities.

    It is never easy to give up attachments to our (blood) relations. However, when Vibhishana realized that his blood relation was keeping him away from serving the eternal Master Rama, he abandoned relation with Ravana.

    One should approach the spiritual master with all humility and offer him all services so that he will be pleased to bestow his blessings upon the disciple.

    When one receives the seed of devotional service by the mercy of the guru and Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one's real life begins. If one abides by the orders of the spiritual master, by the grace of Kṛṣṇa he is freed from service to the mind.

    At times, in our life, we are deprived of many things. We keeping thinking about those missing things and feel powerless (like Sampati felt after both his wings were burnt) but the real power is when (by Sri Rama’s grace) we get the spiritual intelligence about how to continue our services to the Lord even under trying circumstances

    Sumitra Mata did not let her pain (her son also going to forest) come in the way while she tried to provide solace to queen Kausalya by speaking graciously. Though, she herself was heavy hearted yet resolving Kausalya’s grief was critical for her. Only a peaceful mind can be so considerate of others.

    If a real mother wants her son to progress spiritually, she had better allow him to go out searching for Kṛṣṇa.

    What we are doing as bhakti (in the name of serving the Lord), will it please our Lord Rama? There must be no iota of self-gain or appreciation sought because servants never take credit for the things they do for their masters, as they know that they are able to do everything only because of the Mercy of their Master (Lord).

    We must work as care takers / on behalf of Sri Rama. Observing Him to be the Supreme Godhead, we must not work to enjoy the results. He is the sole proprietor and therefore the only enjoyer. We and the services that we offer to Him, are to be enjoyed by Him alone.

    We must learn to restrict / refrain from sensual pleasures. Such abstinence imparts us with self-discipline and chastity – which are important for us to advance in Krishna consciousness

    Sanctuary you can go and take rest and you don’t have to pay anything. On the contrary you get prasadam and you get everything. This is a sanctuary.

    The Vedic culture is absent, there are no elders to advise the government. Elders in the sense, I mean to say, who have sense or whatever. They are not there. So the whole thing is going haywire.

    Please engrave this into your mind. Too much association - you will be fed up with each other. Then you will kick out. So before kicking out, it is better to be away. Please, sannikarṣo ’tra martyānām anādaraṇa-kāraṇam (SB 10.84.31), too much association is the reason for the disrespect.

    Unless you have a straight-forward bhakti path, it is very difficult to be without sins, life without sins. Anything you do against, it will have a toll on your mind.

    Sinful activities are not the normal way, it is not normal. Always, always you have to be very careful about this. Abnormal ways will tax our mind.
