Chance to Surrender
By allowing past karma to affect us, Krishna is giving us a chance to surrender more.
Crazy Materialistic
The materialist thinks that persons engaged in Krishna consciousness are crazy fellows wasting time by chanting Hare Krishna, but actually he does not know that he himself is in the darkest region of craziness because of accepting his body as permanent.
Living Entity’s Only Business
In this material world the living entity's only business is to accept the path of Bhakti Yoga and chant the holy name of the Lord.
Becoming Purified
A person becomes purified simply by hearing the holy name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose lotus feet create the holy places of pilgrimage. Therefore, what remains to be attained by those who have become His servants?
Chanting of Hare Krishna
After searching through all the Vedic literature, one cannot find a method of religion more sublime for this age than the chanting of Hare Krishna.
Effects of Chanting Krishna’s Names
Chanting Krishna's sweet name purifies the heart, sanctifies and steadies the mind, destroys the six enemies [lust, anger, greed, envy, illusion, madness], stops birth and death, dissolves sins, scorches samskaras, annihilates attachment, induces detachment, uproots desires, empowers one, makes one fearless, removes illusion, bestows supreme peace, delivers prema, reveals the Lord and His dhama, shows one's svarupa, showers bhakti-rasa and engages one in his nitya seva for the pleasure of Radha Shyama.
Devotional Service
Devotional service, beginning with the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is the ultimate religious principle for the living entity in human society.
Committing Suicide
There is distinction even in wood. There are so many jungle woods, we can use it for cooking. However, the sandalwood, which is so valuable, if we do not know what is the value of sandalwood, if we use it for cooking and burning …. Similarly, if we use this human form of life exactly like the cats and dogs, simply for sense gratification, then we are committing suicide.
Performing Devotional Service
One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the very beginning of life, in other words, from the tender age of childhood, to practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagements. The human body is most rarely achieved and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection.
Material Opulence
The mercy of Krishna and rendering of devotional service, all these help one give up the association of non-devotees and material opulence awarded by the external energy, Maya. A pure devotee is never attracted by material opulence, for he understands that wasting time to acquire material opulence is a misuse of the gift of human life.
