Forget and forgive

 

 

 

 

We should learn to forget and forgive minor incidents

because whenever there are two men in a place, there

is always some misunderstanding.

 

 

 

- Srila Prabhupada in his letter to Gargamuni,

 

11th January, 1968.

 

 

 

 

Catch up Krishna’s lotus feet

 

 

 

 

If you catch up Krishna’s lotus feet very tightly,

then you will not fall down.

 

 

 

- Srila Prabhupada, in his conversations,

 

Los Angeles, 5th January, 1974.

 

 

 

 

Have proper faith

 

 

 

 

If you have this faith – that the soul is the eternal

servant of Krishna -- then you will have no more

misery and when you chant the holy name of Krishna,

you body will shiver in ecstasy and your eyes will

shed tears in love of God.

 

 

 

 

- Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, Gitavali

 

 

 

 

Good fortune

 

 

 

If somehow or other by good fortune one develops faith

in hearing and chanting My glories, such a person,

being neither very disgusted with nor attached to

material life, should achieve perfection through the

path of loving devotion to Me.

 

 

 

- Lord Sri Krishna,

 

Srimad Bhagavatham, 11.20.8

 

 

 

 

Manifestation of love for the Lord

 

 

 

To the extent the heart is polluted with sins, it

cannot place its faith in the Vedic scriptures or the

bona fide spiritual master. By hearing the Vedic

scriptures in the association of saintly devotees,

love for the Lord is manifest. That is the great

result of having performed many pious deeds in many

previous births.

 

 

 

- Brahma-vaivarta Purana

 

Quoted in Bhakti-sandarbha (1.5-6)

 

 

 

 

Proper undersanding

 

 

 

 

Not knowing the real value of life, people think that

the material body and the land where it is produced

are all in all. This is the basic principle behind

nationalism, socialism, and communism. Such thinking,

which simply bewilders the living entity, is nothing

but rascalism. It is due to the darkness of maaya,

but as soon as one becomes Krishna Conscious, he is

immediately relieved from such misconcepts.

 

 

 

 

- His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami

Prabhupada, in his purport in Sri Chaitanya

Charithaamritha, Madhya Leela, Chapter-22, Text-32.
