Kartika – Topmost of All Other Months
The month of Karttika is the topmost of all other months. It is the most meritorious and purified of all other pure months.
Equality
Do not discriminate in your heart between enemies and friends. Make your mind equipoise towards everyone. Except for the uncontrolled and misguided mind, there is no enemy within this world. When one sees everyone on the platform of equality, one then comes to the position of worshiping the Lord perfectly.
Agnostics
One who does not accept the transcendental form of the Lord is certainly an agnostic. Such a person should be neither seen nor touched. Indeed, he is subject to be punished by Yamaraja [the lord of death].
Merits Derived from Chanting
Even if one distributes ten million cows in charity during an eclipse of the sun, lives at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna for millions of years, or gives a mountain of gold in sacrifice to the brahmanas, he does not earn even one hundredth part of the merit derived from chanting Hare Krishna.
Happiness
All happiness in the material world has a beginning and an end, but happiness in Krishna is unlimited, and there is no end.

Qualities of a Leader
A proper leader works with
1)Integrity (does justified activities, does not justify after doing it)
2)Maturity ( Courage + Consideratness)
3)Nonenviousness (towards the fellow devotees).
Arrangement of Maya
Maya arranges the material world in a way to keep us away from Krishna.
Being free from Miseries
One who desires to be free from all miseries must hear about, glorify and also remember the supreme lord, who is supersoul, the controller and the savior from all miseries.
Sex life
Sex life is compared to the rubbing of two hands to relieve an itch. Grhamedis, so-called grhasthas who have no spiritual knowledge, think that this itching is the greatest platform of happiness, although actually it is a source of distress. The krpanas, the fools who are just the opposite of brahmanas, are not satisfied by repeated enjoyment. Those who are dhira, however, who are sober and who tolerate this itching, are not subjected to the sufferings of fools and rascals.
Men
Men who are like dogs, hogs, camels and asses praise those men who never listen to the transcendental pastimes of Lord Krishna, the deliverer from evils.
