PRABHUPADA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY

" One man was to go to a fair, so he began to dress himself nicely. So dressing, dressing, in the meantime the fair is finished. This is science. All rascals, simply promising, with no solution of problems. You require water immediately: " All right, after three hundred millions of-water. " If we become Krishna conscious, chant Hare Krishna, there will be rainfall. And then even barren land will be fertile. They do not know this. Instead they are importing water. "

Bhubaneshwar, January 31, 1977

 

 

 

-- There's no reason to suffer in material existence any longer. All we have to do to become free forever from all suffering is take complete shelter of Lord Sri Krishna, the original person, the source of all existence. He is our ever well-wishing benefactor. He wants only the best for us because His love for us is unlimited. Even if we are caught up in heavy apparently unsolvable anxieties such as being eaten by a tiger, if we completely surrender ourselves to Lord Krishna, we will wake up from our nightmare and realize that it was only a dream. There was no tiger about to devour us. We will see that there is Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And there is His devotees. We will see that we are also one of His devotees and we can joyfully Him and His devotees for all of eternity in a state of ever-increasing ecstasy.
