Letter to Ambarish written from Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		Your life is sure to be successful and triumphant in the devotional service of the Lord. Many thanks for your encouraging letter. I am improving and hope to see you all again in due course of time. My habit is not to remain stationary. I want to move still, but my physical condition does not allow me at present. Please pray to Krsna.

Conversation - Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		Guru Mahārāja foretold. He told my Godbrothers, Śrīdhara Mahārāja and others, that "He'll do the needful when time comes. Nobody requires to help him." He told in 1935. And after all, this was true. Guru Mahārāja told. And in the beginning, first sight, he told, "You have to do this."

vanipedia.org 		Prabhupāda: That offices I cannot understand. There is no management; then office. Big, big office, but no management. All bogus. Office means management. But there is no management, and the office. Office, what does it mean, office?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Good management.
Prabhupāda: That's all. But if there is no good management, where is the use of office? Simply occupying seats?

vanipedia.org 		If there is no good management, where is the use of office? Simply occupying seats? Management is... I have told him that. And he has brought some management. But there is no one. Just like government, the Filing Center, the Filing Center. Where is the file? Nobody knows. This is going on. What can I do? How the things are being done finally, nobody knows.

vanipedia.org 		You should be firmly convinced about our philosophy. Otherwise where is that firm...? How you can support these rascal scientists? That is your rascaldom. Take it for granted. One who cannot understand this fact, that soul is immortal, body is... He is no more human; he is animal.

vanipedia.org 		Prabhupāda: For starting our museum.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: In Washington?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: So Ambarīṣa is buying...
Prabhupāda: He is prepared to pay us about two hundred...
Conversation B - Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		Matter means matter develops on spirit. Without spirit there is no existence of matter. Just like spirit means consciousness. You see in this finger, here is consciousness, and little after, there is no consciousness, this nail. But the nail has grown from the skin. So therefore, from consciousness, unconsciousness... Not that from unconsciousness, consciousness.

vanipedia.org 		They're all maintained by God. Therefore He's called chief living being. Quality, the same. He's living being; we are living being. Whatever propensities He has got, we have got. But we are not independent. We are dependent on Him. This position has to be clearly understood. Then we have to surrender to Him to fulfill our desires, and that is bhakti-mārga.

vanipedia.org 		Life is divided into two - that body and the soul. Actually the soul requires satisfaction. So unless the soul approaches Adhoksaja - adhoksaja means beyond the sense perception of bodily understanding - there is no possibility.

vanipedia.org 		They cannot make any plan successful without Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So long they'll insist upon this point, that "Without Kṛṣṇa consciousness we shall do everything successfully..." That is durāśā. As long as they persist on this, they'll remain rascals. Every plan will be failure.

vanipedia.org 		Keep this institution pure, not that we have to make it impure. Fighting, we want fighting. If we don't get, it will remain vacant, but we don't want to introduce impure. That should be a principle.

vanipedia.org 		Means four student and three hundred managers. That is mosquito and gun. (laughter) Student, you have got four. And managers? Three hundred. One manager requires three rooms, another four rooms. This is waste. One manager, first see at least fifty students. Then you can become manager.

vanipedia.org 		In the Berkeley University I was speaking. One Indian student got up, and he said, "Swamiji, what this Hare Kṛṣṇa will do? Now we require technology," like that. And "Yes, you have come here to beg technology. You remain beggar. I have come to give something."

vanipedia.org 		They are all intelligent in sense gratification. Quite equal in intelligence, like the man. There is no scarcity of intelligence. Āhāra-nidrā-bhaya (Hitopadeśa). How to sleep, how to eat, how to enjoy sex, how to protect from danger—they know everything completely. (break) ...he's trained up. And how to enjoy according to the body, place, that complete intelligence is there.

vanipedia.org 		Sometimes I become surprised how I have written this. Although I am the writer, still sometimes I am surprised how these things have come. Such vivid description. Where is such literature throughout the whole world? It is all Kṛṣṇa's mercy. Every line is perfect.
Conversation B - Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		Proselytization will not stand. When one comes to the real understanding of his position, then that will continue. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is that. Bringing one to the original position.
Conversation C - Vṛndāvana
File:SP 170px 066.png
vanipedia.org 		I have done on reality. I want to establish reality, not imagination. What is the use of giving some imaginative idea, just like this rascal Darwin? Everything rascal. No practical value. And he has written volumes of books, and people are accepting: "From monkey, man has come. That's all."

vanipedia.org 		There is sun, and above that, there is moon. And they are going to moon. They are going nowhere—simply taking laboratory photo, studio, and cheating. Why this cheating can go on? You do not know. That's all. Who is insisting that "We must know"?

vanipedia.org 		Guru Mahārāja, he saw this. Now I remember those days, when he was instructing, "Do like this. Do like this." At that time, I could not understand. "Oh, why he's talking to me?" He wanted.
File:SP 170px 060.png
vanipedia.org 		What shall I say? He (Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta) was my spiritual master, and whatever he taught, we are speaking, that's all. We don't talk any nonsense.

vanipedia.org 		Money is coming there. Guru Maharaja said that "You do the right work, money will come. Money will fall down on your feet." There is no question of flattering. Do. Work sincerely. Everything will come, whatever you want.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I mean, I also can see it may be good. I'm just trying to..., that he should not feel...
Prabhupāda: Why he should feel? If you have to work, you have to work for Kṛṣṇa.

vanipedia.org 		Our books are sold not for philosophical speculation but practical solution of the problems. The philosophical classes are now being closed everywhere.
