As a well-wishing teacher, guide, and guru, Srila Prabhupada constantly trained students to progress to more mature stages of discipleship. His numerous instructions were recorded in his books, letters, lectures, and conversations. After many years of thematically mapping those instructions, Vanipedia now offers these introductory articles showing the training Srila Prabhupada personally imparted to his disciples. A delightful presentation of his instructions on Our Hearts is found within this Vaniquotes category - Our Hearts (Disciples of SP).

An introduction is given below in the following 10 quotes.

Quotes from Srila Prabhupada's teachings


vanipedia.org 		Cleansing the temple as clean as glass, always. Everyone remarks this that our temples are very clean. Yes. Temple means must be very clean. The more you cleanse the temple, the more your heart becomes cleansed. This is the process. The more you dress Kṛṣṇa, you become satisfied. At the present moment, we are accustomed to see my dress. "How costly dress I have got, I become satisfied..." No. When by dressing Kṛṣṇa you'll feel satisfied, that is spiritual satisfaction. That is spiritual satisfaction. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 28 April 1973, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		Actually I am the most unworthy servant of His Divine Grace because I delayed to execute His order by so many years. But it was better I began late than never, and therefore He has kindly sent to me so many young hearts to cooperate with me in this great Movement. Please therefore continue your good cooperation, and I am sure great things will happen without delay. (Letter, 6 May 1970, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		Bhakti is so nice thing that very easily you can get favor of the Supreme Person. And if Kṛṣṇa is pleased upon you, then what remains? Everything you get. Everything you get. Yasmin vijñāte sarvam eva vijñātaṁ bhavanti (Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.3). Easiest way to please Kṛṣṇa... You don't require much money, much education, and nothing of the sort. Simply you require your heart: "O Kṛṣṇa, You are my Lord. You are my master eternally. I am Your servant eternally. Let me be engaged in Your service." (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 1 March 1977, Mayapur)



vanipedia.org 		I am so happy that the Krishna Consciousness movement is attracting young innocent hearts of America. From this I can think that the future of this movement is very hopeful. (Letter, 28 October 1967, Navadvipa)



vanipedia.org 		I have given this idea all along—why you big leaders do not understand it? You should take it to heart as a guiding principle that somehow or other we always please Krishna by doing what is practical and necessary, according to time and place. Not that we should be whimsical. (Letter, 20 November 1971, Delhi)



vanipedia.org 		I have introduced this system of Deity worship amongst the non-believers, the atheists, the mlecchas, the yavanas and I pray to Krsna that I am inviting You to come, so please, because You are seated in their hearts, please give them the intelligence how to serve you so that You may not be inconvenienced. (Letter, 10 November 1975, Bombay)



vanipedia.org 		If I love you and if I have got some secrecy, I don't disclose to you, that is not perfect love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. This is one of the basic principles. (Conversation, 9 August 1976, Tehran)



vanipedia.org 		That sun is ninety millions miles or something like that, away from us. But it is within your room. Otherwise how you say, "Oh, sunlight is here."? So if sun can penetrate within your room, cannot Kṛṣṇa penetrate within your heart and room and every corner? He is so useless? He's everywhere, but you have to realize, how He is everywhere. (Bhagavad-gītā Lecture, 16 February 1969, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		If you chant always, twenty-four hours, without any payment, so it will cleanse. It will cleanse your heart so that you will be able to analyze your position, God's position, the world's position, your relationship, your activities. Then everything will be nicely clear and illuminated. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 2 January 1967, New York)



vanipedia.org 		As a householder even there is some flaws in following the rules and regulations, it doesn't matter. You should try your best and with Krishna's help—Krishna will help you. If you keep your heart in that attitude, that you want to become a pure and sincere devotee, you must be a sincere devotee. And Krishna will help you. You have to keep your heart in that way, that is your business. (Letter, 23 November 1968, Los Angeles)
