| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Without knowledge, one cannot be detached. And what is that knowledge? The knowledge is that 'I am not this matter; I am spirit soul.' So... But this knowledge is... Although it is very easy thing to say, that "I am not this body, but I am spirit soul," but actually to have perfect knowledge, that is a great job. It is not very easy. For getting that supreme knowledge so many, I mean to say, transcendentalists, they were trying life after life, just to get detached. But the easiest process is that if one is engaged in the devotional service. That is the formula given in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Vāsudeve bhagavati (SB 1.2.7). Vāsudeve bhagavati, 'in the Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa.' Vāsudeva is Kṛṣṇa." |

Now you have to lecture. I will have to retire. (chuckles) I want that all my students now should be prepared. |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Here is a chance you can become Kṛṣṇa conscious and make your life solve all problems. If not, then again go to the cycle of birth and death again, 8,400,000. It will take many, many millions of years again to come back. Just like the sunshine you will see after twenty-four..., twelve hours, twenty-four hours, morning. Everything is a process. Process. So if you lose this opportunity of elevating yourself, then again you come to the process. Nature's law is very strong. Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī (BG 7.14). The sooner you surrender to Kṛṣṇa, mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te. Such person is able to overcome this process of material nature." |
