If you are so much anxious to print it, print one copy. You'll read and you will see that you have printed. Not for distribution." So we are printing all these books for understanding properly.

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "So this bhakti, devotional service of Kṛṣṇa, is so nice. And under that bhakti category, this Janmāṣṭamī... Of course, this Janmāṣṭamī ceremony is observed by all Hindus. Irrespective of becoming Vaiṣṇava or not, this ceremony is observed in India, every home. Just like in your Western countries the Christmas is observed in every home, similarly, Janmāṣṭamī is observed in every home. Today is a great ceremonial day. So our program is, at twelve o'clock night the Lord will take birth and we shall receive Him." |

However until today there has been no arrival of the Hindi BTG, so I am still waiting for it. |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Conditioned life means we must have four disqualification. What is that? To commit mistake, to become illusioned, to become cheater and to possess imperfect senses. This is our qualification. And we want to write books and philosophy. Just see. One does not consider his position. Andha. One man is blind, and he is saying, 'All right, come with me. I shall cross over the street. Come on'. And if one believes, 'All right...' He does not inquire that 'Sir, you are also blind. I am also blind. How you can help me crossing over the road?' No. He is also blind. This is going on. One blind man, one cheater, is cheating another blind man, cheating. Therefore my Guru Mahārāja used to say this material world is a society of cheaters and cheated. That's all. Combination of cheater and cheated. I want to be cheated because I don't accept God. If there is God, then I become responsible for my sinful life. So therefore let me deny God: 'There is no God', or 'God is dead'. Finished" |

God is there within yourself. He is not far away. Not that you have to go many miles away to see God. |
