Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So somehow or other, it has begun, the blessings of Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, as he wanted me, he desired me. So because he desired, my... I am not very expert or educated or nothing extraordinary, but only thing is that I believed in his word. That is... You can say that is my qualification. I believed cent percent in his word. So whatever success is there, it is just due to my firm faith in his instruction. So I am trying to follow. And by his grace, you are helping me. So actually, the responsibility will now depend on you. I am also old man. I may pass away at any moment. This movement should go on"

Lecture BG 05.17-25 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not to become void of the senses. The other philosophers, they say that "You don't desire." We say that we don't desire nonsense, but we desire Kṛṣṇa. Desire is there, but as soon as desire is purified, then I shall desire Kṛṣṇa. When one is desiring only Kṛṣṇa, that is his healthy state. And if somebody is desiring something else, something other than Kṛṣṇa, then he is to be understood in diseased condition. So diseased condition means contaminated by māyā. This is external. So our philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, is not to stop desiring but purify desiring. And how you can purify? By Kṛṣṇa consciousness. "

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"If we take shelter of Kṛṣṇa, even there is some deficiencies in the matter of protecting us, Kṛṣṇa will save. Therefore we should depend on Kṛṣṇa. That is called śaraṇāgati, surrender, to believe that Kṛṣṇa will give us protection. Without Kṛṣṇa's protection, no other protection is valid. There is no guarantee."

Lecture Excerpt - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So real thing is to develop love for Kṛṣṇa. That is the Vṛndāvana standard. In Vṛndāvana, Nanda Mahārāja and Yaśodā-mayī, Rādhārāṇī, gopīs, the cowherdsmen, boys, cows, calves, trees, they do know not that Kṛṣṇa is God. You have read in Kṛṣṇa book, sometimes when Kṛṣṇa does something wonderful, they take Him as a wonderful child, boy, that's all, or child. They do not know that Kṛṣṇa is God. But they love Kṛṣṇa more than anything."

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."

Lecture BG 05.26-29 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So first thing is that suppose somebody speaks of me very harshly. Naturally we become angry. Just like somebody calls me, "You are dog," or "You are hog." But if I am self-realized, if I know perfectly well that I am not this body, so you call me hog, dog or king, emperor, majesty, what is that? I am not this body. So either you call me "Your Majesty" or you call me a dog or a pig, what I have got to do? I am neither His Majesty nor a dog nor a cat—nothing of the sort. I am servant of Kṛṣṇa."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Our process is... It is also meditation. But as you understand by meditation, that concentrating the mind upon some super subject matter, the same thing is there, but we don't try to concentrate the mind artificially. But our this chanting process immediately attracts the mind. Our process is... Just like Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, we chant it in melodious song. So mind is attracted, and we try to hear the sound. That means my mind and my ear is compact in that thought. Therefore it is practical meditation."

"Caitanya Mahāprabhu says there is an ocean of bliss, ocean of taste, of transcendental bliss, which is increasing. Ānandāmbudhi-vardhanaṁ prati-padaṁ pūrṇāmṛtāsvādanaṁ sarvātma-snapanaṁ paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam (CC Antya 20.12, Śikṣāṣṭaka 1). You'll get by this chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, your pleasure potency increasing more and more, more and more."

Lecture BG 06.02-5 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"As a man who's earning millions of dollars daily, that does not mean he can enjoy mating millions of woman. No. That is not possible. His power of mating is same, one who is earning ten dollars. His power of eating is the same with the man, one who is earning ten dollars. So he does not think that "My enjoyment of life is the same amount with the man who is earning ten dollars. Then why I am working so hard for earning millions of dollars daily? Why I am spoiling my energy in that way?" You see? They are called mūḍha. Na māṁ duṣkṛtinaḥ... (BG 7.15) Actually he should have engaged, when he earns millions of dollars daily, he should have engaged himself, his time and energy how to understand God, what is the purpose of life."

"patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ
yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam
aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
(BG 9.26)

'If somebody offers Me flower, fruits, vegetables, milk with devotional love, I accept and eat'. Now how He's eating, that you cannot see in the present—but He is eating. That we are experiencing daily. We are offering Kṛṣṇa, according to the ritualistic process, and you see the taste of the food is changed immediately. That is practical. He eats, but because He is full, He does not eat like us. Just like if I give you a plate of foodstuff, you finish. But God is not hungry, but He eats. He eats and keeps the things as it is."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"teṣām evānukampārtham
aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ
nāśayāmy ātma-bhāva-stho
jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā

(BG 10.11) 'Those who are always engaged in My service, just to show them a special favor', teṣām evānukampārtham, aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ nāśayāmi, 'I vanquish all kinds of darkness of ignorance by the light of knowledge'. So Kṛṣṇa is within you. And when you are sincerely searching after Kṛṣṇa by the devotional process, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, you'll find in Eighteenth Chapter, bhaktyā mām abhijānāti (BG 18.55): "One can understand Me simply by this devotional process."

Lecture BG 06.16-24 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Somehow or other the finger is cut off, and it is falling on the ground; it has no value. My finger, when it is cut off and it is lying on the ground, it has no value. But, as soon as the finger is joined with this body, it has got millions and trillions of dollars' value. Invaluable. Similarly, we are now disconnected with God, or Kṛṣṇa, by this material condition. Forget... Not disconnected. Connection is there. God is supplying our all necessities. Just like a state prisoner is disconnected from the civil department; he has come to the criminal department. Actually not disconnected. The government is still taking care, but legally disconnected. Similarly, we are not disconnected. We cannot be disconnected, because there is no existence of anything without Kṛṣṇa. So how can I be disconnected? Disconnection is that by forgetting Kṛṣṇa, instead of engaging myself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I am engaged in so many nonsense consciousness. That is disconnection."

Lecture BG 06.25-29 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Suppose you are trying to concentrate your mind on Kṛṣṇa, and your mind is diverted, going somewhere, in some cinema house. So you should withdraw, "Not there. Please, here." This is practice of yoga: not to allow the mind to go away from Kṛṣṇa. If you can practice this simply, don't allow your mind to go away from Kṛṣṇa... And because we cannot fix up our mind sitting in one place in Kṛṣṇa, that requires very high training. To sit down in a place and always fix up in Kṛṣṇa the mind, that is not very easy job. One who is not practiced to it, if he simply imitates, then he will be confused. We have to engage ourself always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Everything we do must be dovetailed in Kṛṣṇa. Our usual activities should be so molded that it has to do everything for Kṛṣṇa. Then your mind will be fixed up in Kṛṣṇa."

Lecture BG 06.30-34 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Simply if you chant "Kṛṣṇa" and if you hear, automatically your mind is fixed up in Kṛṣṇa. That means the yoga system is immediately attained. Because the whole yoga system is to concentrate your mind on the form of Viṣṇu, and Kṛṣṇa is the original personality of expansion of Viṣṇu forms. Kṛṣṇa is... Just like here is a lamp. Now, from this lamp, from this candle, you can bring another candle, you can kindle it. Then another, another, another—thousands of candle you can expand. In each candle is as powerful as this candle. There is no doubt about it. But one has to take this candle as the original candle. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is expanding in millions of Viṣṇu forms. Each Viṣṇu form is as good as Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa is the original candle because from Kṛṣṇa everything expands."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is so nice that as soon as you join, you become immediately uncontaminated. But do not contaminate again. Therefore these restriction. Because our contamination begins from these four kinds of bad habits. But if we check, then there is no question of contamination. As soon as I take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness I become free. Now if I become cautious not to accept these four principles, then I am free; I am continuing uncontaminated. This is the process. But if you think that "Because Kṛṣṇa consciousness makes me free, so let me indulge in all these four principles and I will get free after chanting," that is cheating. That will not be allowed."

"janma karma me divyaṁ
yo jānāti tattvataḥ
tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti kaunteya
(BG 4.9)

In the Fourth Chapter it is said that 'My appearance, disappearance and activities are all transcendental. Anyone who can understand this transcendental nature of My activities, appearance, disappearance, the result is', tyaktvā deham, 'after leaving this body', punar janma naiti, 'he does not take birth again in this material world'. That is stated in the Fourth Chapter. That means immediately liberation achieved. This is a fact."
