Sense Control

Has anyone got control over three modes of material nature and the senses? Who can tell I have control over senses? It is only a devotee who controls senses. How? By engaging them in Krishna’s service, by surrendering in Krishna’s service.

Fasting on Prabodhini Ekadasi

One who fasts on Prabodhini ekadasi (when the Lord gets up), does not enter again into the womb of another mother. Therefore, a person should give up all varieties of occupation and fast on this particular ekadasi day.

Giving Things

It is said that in giving you receive! Krishna Consciousness teaches you that "In giving you learn the art of giving more".

Devotees’ Nourishment

If an ordinary man does not eat, he will grow weak and die. Similarly, if a devotee does not taste the transcendental pastimes of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Krishna, he will gradually weaken and die spiritually.

Fully Surrendered Souls

What is painful for saintly persons who strictly adhere to the truth? How could there not be independence for pure devotees who know the Supreme Lord as the substance? What deeds are forbidden for persons of the lowest character and what cannot be given up for the sake of Lord Krishna by those who have fully surrendered at His lotus feet.

Life

What is the value of a prolonged life which is wasted, inexperienced by years in this world? Better a moment of full consciousness, because that gives one a start in searching after his supreme interest.

Punishment by Maya

Forgetting Krishna, the living entity has been attracted by the external feature from time immemorial. Therefore the illusory energy [maya] gives him all kinds of misery in his material existence. In the material condition, the living entity is sometimes raised to higher planetary systems and material prosperity and sometimes drowned in a hellish situation. His state is exactly like that of a criminal whom a king punishes by submerging him in water and then raising him again from the water.
