The Changing Nature of The Material World
Do not take this material world so seriously because it is always changing, what you take seriously is being some thing terrible today. Tomorrow it’s Going to Change.

Coming to The Platform of Pure Devotional Service
Devotional service is dependent on the mercy of Krishna and His Devotees. Unless we surrender to the lotus feet of a pure devotee, it is not possible to come to the platform of pure devotional service. By his own efforts a bee cannot taste the honey within a bottle. The bottle must be opened by a superior. If the bee simply licks the outside of the bottle, thinking “Now I am tasting honey,” Then he is in illusion. Similarly, no one can enter into devotional service unless the door is opened by a devotee.
Memorizing
Utilise your spare time to read Bhagavad-gita. Memorize as much as possible for preaching also.
Reason of Fearlessness
A devotee of the Lord is always fearless because of the protection given by the Lord.
Tolerance
By tolerance only can one conquer desires and avarice.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.9.27,
Srila Prabhupada
Material Body
The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver.
Result of Association with Devotees
One should learn how to associate with the devotees of the Lord by gathering with them to chant the glories of the Lord. This process is most purifying. As devotees thus develop their loving friendship, they feel mutual happiness and satisfaction and by thus encouraging one another they are able to give up material sense grantification, which is the cause of all suffering. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 11.03.30.
Remembering Lord Krishna
With sword in hand, intelligent men cut through the binding knots of reactionary work (karma) by remembering the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Purifying The Mind
One can purify the mind by the chanting process, just as one can purify gold by putting it in a fire and fanning it with a bellows.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.10,
Srila Prabhupada
