Lecture Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana Appearance - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So we are giving chance to everyone: Never mind you are third class, fourth class, fifth class, tenth class. Whatever you are, you come to become first class. We are inviting everyone. We have no distinction. Kṛṣṇa has no such distinction. That Kṛṣṇa says:
māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya
ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ
(BG 9.32)

'My dear Arjuna, if somebody takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, never mind he is born in an abominable family,'striyo vaiśyās tathāśūdrās', or in the human society, less-intelligent class of men like śūdrā or women. Never mind. Whatever he may be or she may be, if he or she takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness,' te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim, ;they are also elevated to the platform wherefrom he can go back to home, back to Godhead'. So for us there is no restriction. We don't say that 'You don't come'. We invite everyone, 'Take prasādam, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa'. That is our program. "

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So try to see Kṛṣṇa with that staring eyes—'Where is Kṛṣṇa'? Here is... Kṛṣṇa is within your heart. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānām (BG 18.61). He is within the atom. He is everywhere. So by service, we can realize. Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ (CC Madhya 17.136). If we want to see Kṛṣṇa, touch Kṛṣṇa, with our these material senses, it is not possible. These senses are to be purified. How it is purified? Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau: the service. And wherefrom the service begins? The service begins jihvādau, from the tongue. The service begins from the tongue. You chant. Therefore we are giving you the beads to chant. That is the beginning of service: chanting.If you chant, then svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ. By hearing Kṛṣṇa's name, you will understand Kṛṣṇa's form, you will understand Kṛṣṇa's quality, you'll understand Kṛṣṇa's pastimes, His omnipotency. Everything will be revealed."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"When one is advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness his business becomes to see, 'Whether I am wasting my time?' That is one of the sign, advanced devotee. Avyartha kālatvam. Nāma-gāne sadā ruci (CC Madhya 23.32). Attachment for chanting always. Prītis tad-vasati sthale: (CC Madhya 23.18-19) and attraction or attachment for living in the temple, vasati, where Kṛṣṇa lives. Kṛṣṇa lives everywhere, but specifically, to give us chance to meet, He lives in the temple or in places like Vṛndāvana. So prītis tad-vasati sthale. One should be enhanced in attachment for living where Kṛṣṇa is living. Prītis tad-vasa... Nāma-gāne sadā ruci. And taste for singing always the holy name."

Lecture SB 02.01.01 - Los Angeles
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"You are trying to go up and down. You're trying to go to the moon planet, sun planet, very high, or you may try to go down. But there is one thing that you cannot get by simply traveling up and down, bhramatām upary adhaḥ. You should try for that thing: tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovido, na labhyate yad bhramatām upary adhaḥ. Simply by traveling up and down you cannot get that. And what is that? Niḥśreyasāya, the highest benefit. And what is that highest benefit? The highest benefit is to stop your birth and death and to go back to home, back to God. That is wanted."
