Performing devotional service is like climbing a mountain in group. If one slides and risks to fall down the cliff, what do we do? Similarly we have to help each other while practising Krishna Consciousness.
When we are children, innocent, we have no bad habits, but as we grow and associate with bad company, we also acquire all these bad habits. To give up all these bad habits means we have to associate with sadhus or devotees, saintly persons. Then we can give it up. This is called ‘Anartha-nivritti’, means giving up all unwanted bad habits. — Conversation, Mexico, 11th Feb, 1975.
“Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form,” Such men are envious of the Lord. The Truth about Lord Krishna and His transcendental position can never enter such confused and deluded brains.
Not even the best human brain can estimate His powers and potencies by mathematical calculation.
The power that we have, the knowledge and influence that we have are beautiful gifts from God to be utilized to serve each other unconditionally.
A person with no material desires automatically become non-envious.
The Lord is not dependent on anyone’s mercy for His opulence; He is always self-sufficient.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.16.21,
Srila Prabhupada
The younger brother of desire is anger. If one’s desire is not fulfilled, the younger brother, anger follows.
