Always be conscious of Krishna

 

 

The process of always thinking of Krishna is the

process of Krishna Consciousness. The first class

Yogi is he who is always conscious of Krishna. One

can be conscious of Krishna by hearing about Him

submissively.

 

- His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami

Prabhupada

Sreemad Bhagavatham, 3.14.31 Purport,

in the book “Teachings of Lord Kapila”

Devotional service to Krishna

 

 

Devotional service to Lord Krishna is performed when

the heart no longer desires any material benefit to be

obtained in this life or the next. This is freedom

from the bonds of Karma.

 

- Gopala Tapani Upanishad, 1.14

 

 

Satisfaction is derived only from devotional service

to Krishna

 

 

It is true that by practicing restraint of the senses

by the yoga system one can get relief from the

disturbances of desire and lust, but this is not

sufficient to give satisfaction to the soul, for this

satisfaction is derived from devotional service to the

Supreme Personality of Godhead.

 

- Narada Muni, Srimad Bhagavatham, 1.6.35

 

 

 

Don’t be devoid of devotion

to the Lord

 

 

 

Persons intoxicated by worldly affairs of sense

gratification and persons who to the

impersonal philosophy both maintain their lives

uselessly, because they are devoid of devotion to the

Lord.

 

- Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, in Saranagati.

 

 

 

Dedicated life is noble life

 

 

Dedicate your life for Krishna. That is the

perfection. Even if there are some faults, dedicated

life is noble life. May be, due to our past habits,

we may commit some faulty action, but that dedicated

life is sublime.

 

- Srila Prabhupada in his conversations

in Mayapur, 4th March, 1974.

 

 

 

 

Always remember Krishna

 

Always remember Krishna who is your dear most friend

and always serve Him just to please Him, and He will

give you all intelligence how to be a first class

devotee.

 

- Srila Prabhupada in his letter to

Mr. DDD, 3rd March, 1970.

 

 

Co-operate with the Lord

 

Unless we co-operate with the Supreme Lord, our life

is baffled. A screw which has fallen from a machine

has no value. But when the same screw is again

attached to the machine, it has value. We are part

and parcel of God. Without God, what is our value ?

No value ! We should again come back to our position

of attachment to God. Then we have value.

 

- Srila Prabhupada in his conversation with

Bob Cohen, 29th February, 1972.

 

 

 

Do act on behalf of the

Supreme Lord

 

 

If you are steady either in success or failure, that

is called yoga. Don’t mind for the success or

failure. Do act on behalf of the Supreme Lord. And

if you are steady in that position, then your working

in spiritual platform is successful.

 

- Srila Prabhupada, in Newyork, 1st April, 19
