Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada

"Suppose if you want to know me or know something about me, you can ask some friend, "Oh, how is Swāmījī?" He may say something; other may something. But when I explain to you myself, "This is my position. I am this," that is perfect. That is perfect. So if you want to know the Absolute Supreme Personality of Godhead, you cannot speculate, neither meditate. It is not possible, because your senses are very imperfect. So what is the way? Just hear from Him. So He has kindly come to say Bhagavad-gītā. Śrotavyaḥ: "Just try to hear." Śrotavyaḥ and kīrtitavyaś ca. If you simply hear and hear in the class of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and go outside and forget, oh, that will be not nice. That will not make you improve. Then, what is? Kīrtitavyaś ca: "Whatever you are hearing, you should say to others." That is perfection."

If you want to make perfection of your duty, then you have to satisfy the Supreme Lord." It doesn't matter what you are. You may be a brahmacārī, you may be a householder, you may be in the renounced order of life, and you may be a laborer class, you may be a brāhmaṇa or you may be administrator. Whatever you may be, it doesn't matter. But your duty, your occupational service, will attain perfection when you try to satisfy the Supreme Lord by your occupation. That is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness."|Vanisource:670326 - Lecture SB 01.02.12-14 and Installation of Jagannatha Deities - San Francisco|670326 - Lecture SB 01.02.12-14 and Installation of Jagannatha Deities - San Francisco}}
