    One process is to find the root of the tree, and the other is to water the root. The real student of Sāṅkhya philosophy finds the root of the material world, Viṣṇu, and then, in perfect knowledge, engages himself in the service of the Lord.

    Ornaments caress that body, but the transcendental body of Kṛṣṇa is so beautiful that it beautifies the ornaments He wears.

    Using Wealth in Krishna's Service

    Money is also called lakṣmī, and Lakṣmī is always engaged in the service of Nārāyaṇa. Wherever there is money, it must be engaged in the service of Lord Nārāyaṇa. Everyone should use his money to spread the great transcendental movement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If one does not spend money for this purpose but accumulates more than necessary, he will certainly become proud of the money he illegally possesses.

    Krishna is very kind, and He will give more and more but we have to dig in our own heels. We have to dig in our own heels. Open the scriptures, these pages should be torn by turning. The books should not be new. You should use

    Please, please, don’t ignore these scriptures. Every second you have to utilise. Srila Prabhpada is very clear, and the more you do, the more you will get. There is no injection – Bhagavad gita injection. Hey come on, boom. No. Bhagavatam injection, No. Unfortunately, they haven’t found out so far. Maybe in future we hope (laughter). and then there is no need of studying then, you take injection, ‘Yes, I have taken Bhagavad gita injection.

    naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā (SB 1.2.18), nityaṁ means always you have to come to book Bhagavat, always you have to come to pure devotees, and then naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu then almost all inauspicious activities are gone, and you are with Krishna, bhagavaty uttama-śloke bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī, your bhakti becomes firm. That is the main purpose we are assembling here. Because we are dwindling in bhakti, we are in difficulty.

    Please ignore other sqirmishes, ignore other misunderstandings and stand behind Prabhupada and do these activities and then you will be lions. We want to be lion here. There are so many other temples, buildings may come, but buildings are not the temples. Temples are Prabhupada’s temples. And stand to his credit, don’t spoil his name by your own selfish attitude.

    Our material computers are fine no doubt, but much more finer instruments are operating in- between Krishna and our own bodies. And that is how every living entity He knows tānyahaṁ veda sarvāṇi na tvaṁ vettha paran tapa (BG 4.5), He says in Bhagvad gita - I know everything, you don’t know anything, to Arjuna He says. He is very correct, and this is how He knows. and we don’t know how this subtle process works.

    Every second on our existence, we are taking help from Him. And then we say ‘ha ha I feel there is no Krishna’. Nothing like that. How can you deny? Why we deny, because we don’t have this intricacy, knowledge of this intricate process.

    When the airs are disturbed, our bodies get sick. And that’s why in Hindi, there are two words, hawā, hawā means air and dawā means medicine. So, there is saying in Hindi, that hawā is more important than the dawā. hawā means air, fresh air is more important than the medicine.

    This human existence is meant for that. Every other thing will go on, and it was going on, it is going on and it will be going on. All other sense gratification and this and that and that, everything will go on. But this will not come with you, to you unless you try. So, once we sit with the scriptures, then the knowledge reveals.

    And that’s why I always insist that you should study one small book thoroughly and you should try to understand those verses and learn those verses and that will be the steppingstone to learn more and more about the scriptures.

    We have to be very clear about it. Whatever we behave is reflecting on the whole of the movement. So, we have to be very, very careful. Don’t open your mouth unless you are sure that what you are talking is the authorized talk. And this is how we have to prepare with this authority. Otherwise, we keep quiet till we are not able to. Hand over Prabhupda’s book, that’s all.

    You should have a small diary with you always – pocket diaries and you should take down the verses and then the points, the points which Srila Prabhupada discusses in the purport and that which is to be learnt by heart should be ready within your diaries.

    A devotee should not be aggrieved in an awkward position, nor should he feel extraordinarily happy in material opulence. This is the way of expert management of material life.

    Srila Prabhupada gives very nice example, that a donkey doesn’t walk very nicely, so the owner of the donkey what he does, he hangs the carrot in front of his mouth, means he cannot reach. And he thinks that ‘if I go two steps (forward), I will reach, two steps (forward), I’ll reach’. And then he walks with the load on his back. This is how we behave, we are haunted by material energy.

    If you are not with Krishna means you are sick. That is definite. If you want to be alright, then you go to Krishna. We are, maybe lying on the bed, your eyes are not sick, your body is sick. So, open your eyes and take Bhagavad Gita or Bhagavatam or at least hear some Maha Mantra or something.

    If you want to take revenge on anybody, means you have to meditate, how to do him harm, where to catch him, where to plan something. So, your valuable time is wasted, and definite time is allotted to our body. We will not have to have a single breath more than what is allotted.
