Austerity
Human life is meant for austerity. You are human so do austerity, whether you like it or not!
Giving Pleasure To Others
It is worth going through tears to give pleasure to others.
Service to God
If you do something, you should do it for the right reason—for the service of God and if you do it in the service of God, you can’t go wrong.
Performing Kirtana
Generally kirtana is performed with mrdanga and karatalas, but if somebody is expert instrument player, he can be admitted to join Sankirtana.

Etiquette
When you find any fault in someone, actually you take the qualities (faults) of that person.
The Power of Protection
There is a certain power of protection in receiving blessings from good people. Those blessings have a special potency as they are coming from spiritually evolved people.
Greatest Loss
To loose money, prestige, health or even life itself is not such a loss. To loose faith is the greatest loss.
Negative Aspect of Sex
Sex could be a gift of God but when it becomes an obsession, it blunders all intelligence and people are driven to abominable acts to satisfy their lust.
Paramatma
The Paramatma is always the caitya-guru, the spiritual master within. He comes before one externally as the instructor and initiator (Siksa and Diksa Guru).
Frustration
A materialistic person, thinking himself very advanced in intelligence, continuously acts for economic development. But again and again, as enunciated in the Vedas, he is frustrated by material activities, either in this life or in the next. Indeed, the results one obtains are inevitably the opposite of those one desires.
