Quotes from Srila Prabhupada's teachings


vanipedia.org 		We are first of all putting these restriction: no illicit sex, no meat-eating, no intoxication, no gambling. Intoxication up to drinking tea and smoking cigarette, you have to give up. Anyone who comes to become my disciple, this is my first proposal, that "If you agree, then you come." It is not that you can do anything nonsense you like, and you become my disciple. No. Because one cannot understand Kṛṣṇa unless he is restricted from the sinful activities. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 27 December 1974, Bombay)



vanipedia.org 		All expenditures should be done by check as far as possible. Check means two signatures, so in this way this nonsense will be stopped. Please see that all temples are following this system. (Letter, 26 August 1975, Vrndavana)



vanipedia.org 		Everyone knows that my Guru Mahārāja had thousands of disciples. So out of thousands of disciples, practically I am little successful. That everyone knows. Why? Because I firmly believed in the words of my guru. That's all. There may be many other Godbrother, maybe very learned and very advanced, whatever it may be, favored. Everyone claims that "I am the most favorite." And practical point of view... So I think sometimes that "Why this wonderful thing has happened to me?" So I search out. I search out only that I cent percent believe in the words of my spiritual... That's all, nothing else. Don't think of any nonsense. Simply execute what your guru has said. That is success. (Conversation, 28 January 1977, Bhuvanesvara)



vanipedia.org 		The first business is to accept guru. Tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet (MU 1.2.12). Don't think that "I am so advanced. I may not require any guru. I can do without guru." That is nonsense. That, not possible. "Must." Tad vijñānārtham. Tad-vijñānārtham is spiritual science. "Must approach." Gurum evābhigacchet samit-paniḥ śrotriyaṁ brahma-niṣṭham. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 27 February 1977, Mayapur)



vanipedia.org 		If the tenants become devotees and follow our principles, arising early like the others, then we can forgo their rent, but no nonsense concessions of sitting room. (Letter, 14 July 1975, Philadelphia)



vanipedia.org 		Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement means we have to give up this nonsense idea of becoming master. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We have to learn how to become servant. Not only servant, servant of the servant (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 2 March 1976, Mayapur)



vanipedia.org 		We are not wonderful men. But our only business is that we are speaking only the same thing as Kṛṣṇa has spoken. That's all. There is no magic. This is the magic. If you adulterate nonsensically like a rascal, then you cannot become a spiritual master. If you simply follow what Kṛṣṇa has spoken, then you become spiritual master. Very simple thing. It doesn't require education. You can hear from your spiritual master what has Kṛṣṇa said. (Bhagavad-gītā Lecture, 14 April 1974, Bombay)



vanipedia.org 		If you always engage your mind in transcendental topics, naturally all other nonsense topics will be stopped. Or you'll have no interest in such topics. That is burned down. (Conversation, 11 August 1973, Paris)



vanipedia.org 		I am so glad to learn that now you have nice apartment of 4 rooms, and also a nice job for meeting your all necessary expenses. Take them as benediction from Krishna and utilize them for Krishna Consciousness business. If you can provide yourself by independent handwork then you can give up your present job, otherwise you continue with your job, even it is nonsense. The thing is, we must have sufficient time for executing Krishna Consciousness business, so you have to select which one will be suitable for you. If you think that by carving Jagannathas or painting you will have sufficient income, it is very nice. Otherwise do not give up your present job for some future hope. (Letter, 11 January 1968, Los Angeles)



vanipedia.org 		If you know your mistakes and you're preaching, why this nonsense preaching?. (Conversation, 16 March 1974, Vrndavana)
