How perfect it is in any subject matter. I have tried to explain what is there in the Bhāgavatam, expand it. That is not my explanation, that is Kṛṣṇa's explanation. I cannot explain now. That moment I could explain. That means Kṛṣṇa's... I can understand that. That the description is very nicely given. Although it is my writing, but I know it is not my writing. It is Kṛṣṇa's writing. So we should read Bhāgavatam always. Nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā (SB 1.2.18). We should not waste our time.}}

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So long I have got my bodily conception, when I say 'my self', I think of my body. When I transcend the bodily conception of life, then I think 'I am mind'. But actually, when I am in the real spiritual platform, then my self means 'I am pure spirit'."
