| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "For offering prayer to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you do not require any high qualification. It doesn't matter. You can offer your prayer from any standard of life. Not that you have to become a very learned man, very scholarly man, and you have to present your prayers in a very nicely selected words so that poetry, rhetoric, prosody, everything is there, metaphor. Nothing required. Simply you have to express your feelings." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "We are taking so much care of this body, but the ultimate end of this body is either stool, earth or ashes. So foolish persons who are in the bodily concept of life, they are thinking, "After all, this body will be finished. So, so long the body is there, senses are there, let us enjoy. Why so much restrictions—no illicit sex, no gambling, no...? These are all nonsense. Let us enjoy life." This is atheistic life. Foolish life. They do not know. So the body is not all. This is the first lesson to understand, what is spiritual life, what is spiritual knowledge. But all rascals, they do not know. Therefore Kṛṣṇa first of all slapped Arjuna: aśocyān anvaśocas tvaṁ prajñā-vādāṁś ca bhāṣase (BG 2.11). 'You do not know what is the fact, and talking like a very learned man. Just try to understand what is truth.' Na tv evāhaṁ jātu (BG 2.12)." |
