| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "In the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 9.4) it is said by the Lord, mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ jagad avyakta-mūrtinā: "I am spread all over the universe, all over the manifestation, in My impersonal feature." Mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni nāhaṁ teṣu avasthitaḥ: "Everything is resting on Me, but I am not there." Paśya me yogam aiśvaram (BG 9.5). So this simultaneously one and different, this philosophy, is accepted by Lord Caitanya, but it is also accepted in the Bhagavad-gītā; mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya (BG 7.7). But this form, these two hands, with flute, Kṛṣṇa, form of Kṛṣṇa, there is nothing beyond this. So one has to come to this point." |

| "Our activities are conditions, not free. But you can attain a life of freedom, life of unlimited energy, unlimited happiness, unlimited bliss. There is possibility. This is not story or fiction. We see so many planets within this universe. We have got so many flying vehicles, but we cannot approach even to the nearest, we are so much limited. But if we worship Govinda, then it is possible. You can go anywhere. We have written these statements in our small booklet Easy Journey to Other Planets. This is possible. Don't think that this planet is all and all. There are many, many millions of other very nice planets. There the standard of happiness, standard of enjoyment is many more times greater than what we are enjoying here." |

| "To ask from Kṛṣṇa anything else than bhakti is foolishness. That is foolishness. My Guru Mahārāja used to give this example: just like if you go to a rich man and he says, 'Now, whatever you like, you can ask from me. I shall give you,' then if you ask him that 'You give me a pinch of ash,' is that very intelligent? Similarly, to... There is a story, that one old woman in the forest... I think it is in Aesop's Fable or somewhere. So she was carrying a big bundle of dry wood, and somehow or other, the bundle fell down. It was very heavy. So the old woman became very much disturbed, 'Who will help me to get this bundle on my head?' So she began to call God, 'God, help me.' And God came: 'What you want?' 'Kindly help me to get this bundle on my head.' (laughter) Just see. God came to giving benediction, and she wanted to 'Give this bundle again on my head'." |
