Lord Jesus Christ, he gave information of God. Although he was crucified, he never changed his opinion. |
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ. Matiḥ means intelligence or status of mind, that 'I'll serve Kṛṣṇa'. 'If you can purchase this status of mind anywhere, please immediately purchase.' Then next question will be, 'All right, I shall purchase. What is the price? Do you know?' 'Yes, I know what is the price'. 'What is that price?' Laulyam, 'Simply your eagerness, that's all'. Laulyam ekaṁ mūlyam. 'Ah, that I can have.' No. Na janma koṭibhis sukṛtibhir labhyate (CC Madhya 8.70). This eagerness, how to love Kṛṣṇa, this is not available even after many, many births. So if you have a pinch of that anxiety, 'How I can serve Kṛṣṇa?' you must know you are the most fortunate man. A pinch only, laulya, this anxiety, 'How I can serve Kṛṣṇa?' it is very nice. Then Kṛṣṇa will give you intelligence." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "So Kṛṣṇa says, dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā, tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ (BG 2.13). Dehāntara-prāptiḥ is there, information. So how can we deny that there is no life after death? There is. But nobody is caring to understand, "What is my next life? What is going to happen? Today I may be in a very big position, and tomorrow, if I am going to be a tree..." Here we are sitting very comfortably in this room. Just a few years after, there is a tree. He cannot move an inch even, and he has to stand there in cyclone, in scorching heat, in everything. Why? We are... Both of us, we are living entities. Why he has got this body, I have got this body, and one may have better body than me? Why there are so many, 8,400,000 species of life, and different position? Why this is? There is no such inquiry. There is no such knowledge. Therefore they have been described here as andhā, blind." |
