A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Krishna is everywhere. Simply you have to catch Him and He is also ready for being caught. Yes, if somebody wants to catch Him. Suppose you are a devotee, if you want to catch Him, He comes forward ten times than your desire. He is so kind. Therefore, we have to simply receive Him.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The Lord does not award the devotional service to ordinary persons who are not serious about it but even such unserious persons who execute devotional service according to the regulative principles during the month of karttika and within the jurisdiction of mathura in India, are very easily awarded the Lord's personal service.
Skanda Purana
Just as there is no yuga equal to Satya-yuga, no scriptures equal to Vedas, no pilgrimage equal to Ganges, so there is no month equal to Karttika. Therefore Karttika is very dear to the Vaishnavas and they follow all its rules with proper devotion.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
By bathing in sacred places and giving charity during the month of karttika, a person in any country attains piety equal to an agnihotra-yajna.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
So far as your working engagement is concerned, certainly you are not a karmi. Any person whose constant occupation is Krishna Consciousness, he is not a karmi; he is a devotee in all circumstances. You should accept the best source of monetary income and use it for Krishna. That is better than sannyasa. Stick to your job and use it for Krishna Consciousness. You are not a karmi.
In his letter to Gopala Krishna Goswami Maharaj, April 4, 1971.
Srimad Bhagavatam
The occupational activities a man performs according to his own position are only so much useless labor if they do not provide attraction for the message of the Personality of Godhead.
