| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Lord Kṛṣṇa says that 'Anyone who offers Me in devotion these four things', patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyam (BG 9.26), 'a bit of leaf and a bit of flower, a little fruit and little water'... So He is pleased to take, accept. Why? Because we are offering Him with devotion and love. That is the only way." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "A devotee who is always in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, for him there is nothing unknown. He knows everything. Just like we can give information of the whole creation—not only of this material world; of the spiritual world. Clear conception: where is where, what is what. Everything. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The more you make progress, then you fully, I mean to say, conversant with all departmental knowledge. Everything is complete." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Kṛṣṇa is present throughout the whole universe in some feature. In one universe you will find Kṛṣṇa is taking birth, janmāṣṭamī. In some universe you will see Kṛṣṇa is playing with the cowherd boys. Somewhere it is... In this way. Therefore it is called nitya-līlā. Nitya-līlā means the janmāṣṭamī-līlā is going on permanently somewhere or other. Therefore it is called līlayā, yadṛcchayā." |
