A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Anyone who has developed the ecstasy of love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead and who is always merged in transcendental bliss on account of that love, cannot even perceive the material happiness or distress coming from the body or mind.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
From association with devotees is born faith. From faith is born pure knowledge. From pure knowledge is born meditation. From meditation is born devotional service, which pleases Lord Krishna and destroys all sufferings.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Within the heart of a person overpowered by lamentation or anger, there is no possibility of Krishna being manifest.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Devotees whose tongues are decorated always with prayers to Lord Krishna are always given respect even by the great saintly persons and sages, and such devotees are actually worshipable by the demigods.
