| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "When we have got this human form of life, we should understand, 'How things are happening? How I am getting different types of body? How I am dictated according to the body and I am not happy? Now what is the reason? Then what I am? I do not want distress. Why distress is forced upon me? I do not want to die. Why death is forced upon me? I do not want to become old. I want to remain perpetually young. Why old age is forced upon me?' There are so many things. In this way, when we become intelligent enough and approach Kṛṣṇa or His, Kṛṣṇa's representative, then our life becomes reformed." |
