I am seated in everyone’s heart and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedanta and I am the knower of the Vedas.
Bhagavad-Gita 15.15,
Srila Prabhupada
The Fountainhead of all eternal and temporal manifestations is confined in Sri Krishna alone.
Surrenderance is the substance of devotional service.
Life's desires should never be directed towards sense gratification. One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing else should be the goal of one's works.
Flower of love cannot survive in the heart that harbors the weed of selfish greed.
The clear understanding is this: sanatana dharma (activities of the pure spirit soul, devotional service to Lord Krishna) and varnasrama dharma (activities of the conditioned soul through the four varnas and the four asramas) go hand in hand, or as Srila Prabhupada so brilliantly states above “the one without the other has no meaning.”
