Nectar of Instruction Verse 7,
Srila Prabhupada
Either you are a beggar or a King, Every one has to die. Only devotee of the Lord knows where we go after death.
Do not take this material world so seriously because it is always changing, what you take seriously is being some thing terrible today. Tomorrow it’s Going to Change.
Devotional service is dependent on the mercy of Krishna and His Devotees. Unless we surrender to the lotus feet of a pure devotee, it is not possible to come to the platform of pure devotional service. By his own efforts a bee cannot taste the honey within a bottle. The bottle must be opened by a superior. If the bee simply licks the outside of the bottle, thinking “Now I am tasting honey,” Then he is in illusion. Similarly, no one can enter into devotional service unless the door is opened by a devotee.
Utilise your spare time to read Bhagavad-gita. Memorize as much as possible for preaching also.
A devotee of the Lord is always fearless because of the protection given by the Lord.
By tolerance only can one conquer desires and avarice.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.9.27,
Srila Prabhupada
The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver.
One should learn how to associate with the devotees of the Lord by gathering with them to chant the glories of the Lord. This process is most purifying. As devotees thus develop their loving friendship, they feel mutual happiness and satisfaction and by thus encouraging one another they are able to give up material sense grantification, which is the cause of all suffering. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 11.03.30.
