Death
Death is not a big thing, what is important is God’s service.
Lord’s glance
The Lord’s glance is the original cause of material creation.
Srimad Bhagavatam 9.5.5,
Srila Prabhupada.
Taking To Krishna Consciousness
There is no question of accepting or not accepting Krishna consciousness. It is not optional; it is compulsory. If we do not take to Krishna consciousness, our life is very risky.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.8.49,
Srila Prabhupada
Beginning of Real Life
First birth is from your parents, but real birth, real life, begins when one accepts a bona fide spiritual master and renders service unto him. Then the path is open for going back to home, back to Godhead, to live eternally in full knowledge and full bliss and in association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, Lord Krishna. – In his letter to Narayani, 11th June, 1972.
Utilizing Time
One cannot calculate the amount of loss there is in wasting valuable time. Either materially or spiritually, one should be very alert in utilizing the time which he has at his disposal.
Srimad Bhagavatam 2.7.15,
Srila Prabhupada
Ill-Effects of Ignorance
Ignorance is the cause of sinful life, and sinful life is the cause of one’s dragging on in material existence.
Bhagavad Gita 4.31,
Srila Prabhupada.
Value of The Soul
When the soul leaves this body, then what is it? It has no value, a lump of matter, just like a motorcar. So as long as it is moving, it is worth one lake, and as soon as it does not move, it is simply a lump of iron and copper and something. Who cares for it? It is thrown away. Same thing. The body has no value. It has value as long as the soul is there.
Real Cause of One’s Difficulties
The real cause of one’s difficulties in the hard struggle of life may be found in one’s forgetfulness of his relationship with the Supreme Lord.
Real Purpose of Joining ISKCON
Always remember why you have joined ashrama or ISKCON. The real purpose of doing so is to be engaged in devotional service.
Spiritual Realization
Go Deep into understanding the spiritual reality. Consider who you are. Recognize your spiritual indentity and realiza that God is with You.
