| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "So here the devotee says, "Yes, the senses are serpentlike, dangerous, but by the mercy of Caitanya we can break the poison teeth." How it is that? If you constantly engage your senses for Kṛṣṇa, oh, the poison teeth is broken. The poison teeth is broken. The most formidable serpent is this tongue. If you simply talk of Kṛṣṇa and if you simply eat Kṛṣṇa prasādam, oh, the poisonous effect of tongue will be broken. You'll have no opportunity to talk nonsense or to eat nonsense. Then your life becomes advanced immediately fifty percent." |

Tell them that if you take to Hare Krsna, then these things (earthquakes, tidal waves, floods) will not happen. Tell them. |
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Bhakti does not depend on age or on advanced knowledge, or richness, or so many other things—janmaiśvarya-śruta-śrī (SB 1.8.26), to take birth in high family, aristocracy, and to become rich, to become beautiful, to become very learned scholar. These things are material assets, but spiritual life does not depend on these things." |
