| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Anyone who takes up this endeavor on behalf of God to reclaim these conditioned souls back to Godhead, back to home, he is considered most intimate devotee, dear devotee of the Lord. It is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, na ca tasmād manuṣyeṣu kaścid me priya-kṛttamaḥ (BG 18.69). If you want to become very dear to Kṛṣṇa or God, then try to take up these missionary activities. What is that? Spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa will be very much pleased." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "If you think..., if a prisoner thinks that "I am in this cell. Let me request the superintendent of the jail to change my cell and I'll be happy," that is a mistaken idea. One cannot be happy so long he is under the prison walls. One should become free. That should be the aim of our life. So we are trying to be happy by changing the cell, by this "ism" to that "ism," by capitalism to communism, from communism to this "ism," to that "ism." That will not make us happy. You'll have to completely change from this "ism," this materialism, that's all. Then you'll be happy. That is our Krsna Consciousness." |

Because a devotee, like Lord Jesus Christ, means confidential servant of God, there is no difference between God and himself. |

Then where is the difference between the scientists and the devotee? The devotee, devotee accepts what Krsna says. That's all. |
