Another reason for reading Srila Prabhupada's books

[Guest guest]

TRANSLATION

 

Men become strong and stout by eating sufficient grains, but the devotee who

simply eats ordinary grains but does not taste the transcendental pastimes

of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Krsna gradually becomes weak and falls down

from the transcendental position. However, if one drinks but a drop of the

nectar of Krsna's pastimes, his body and mind begin to bloom, and he begins

to laugh, sing and dance.

 

PURPORT

 

All the devotees connected with the Krsna consciousness movement must read

all the books that have been translated (the Caitanya-caritamrta,

Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita and others); otherwise, after some time,

they will simply eat, sleep and fall down from their position. Thus they

will miss the opportunity to attain an eternal, blissful life of

transcendental pleasure.
