A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Picture Quotes
By following in the footsteps of the great acharyas, one associates with the hamsas or paramahamsas, those who are completely freed from material contamination. Indeed, by following the instructions of the acharyas one is always freed from all material contamination and thus one’s life becomes successful, for one reaches the goal of life. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 07.09.18.
Jananivas Prabhu, Picture Quotes
You want to see God through your material eyes, so God manifests through matter in the form of a deity.
Chaitanya Caritamrta, Picture Quotes
The holy name of Krishna is so attractive that anyone who chants it — including all living entities, moving and nonmoving, and even Lord Krishna Himself — becomes imbued with love of Krishna. This is the effect of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Picture Quotes
When we see beautiful thing, what is it? It is just some light entering into our eyes and it is making us mad. Some frequency entering our ear & we get mad. Something scraping our tongue which is just a lump of flesh wiggling around. But when something touches its surface we go mad. This is material enjoyment & we take it seriously.
