Reciprocation by Lord Krishna
For anything offered to Krishna with love and affection, Krishna can reciprocate many millions of times over, both materially and spiritually.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.11.11
Degradation of Human Civilization
When the human being gives up the process of hearing about the all-pervading Personality of Godhead, be becomes victim to watching rubbish transmitted by Television. It is creating rapid degradation in the standard of human civilization.
Attaining Devotional Service
In the preliminary phase of spiritual life there are diffrent kinds of austerities, penances and similar processes for attaning self-realization. However, even if an executor of these processes is without any material desire, he still cannot achieve devotional service and aspiring by oneself alone to achieve devotional service is also not very hopeful, because Krishna does not agree to award devotional service to merely anyone. Krishna can easily offer a person material happiness or even liberation, but he does not agree very easily to award a person engagement in His devotional service. Devotional service can in fact be attained only through the mercy of a pure devotee.
