| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Do you think that eastern side is the mother of sun? Because sun is born from the eastern side, you can take it for granted that eastern side is the mother of sun. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa appears in similar way, but that does not mean that He is born. That is stated in the Fourth Chapter, Bhagavad-gītā: janma karma me divyaṁ yo jānāti tattvataḥ. 'Anyone who understands in truth how I take My birth, how I work, how I am transcendental...' Simply by knowing these three things—how Kṛṣṇa is born, and how does He work and what is His actual position—the result is tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti kaunteya: (BG 4.9) 'My dear Arjuna, simply knowing these three things, one comes to Me after quitting this material body'. Punar janma naiti: 'He never again comes back'. So that means, in other words, if you can understand the birth of Kṛṣṇa, then you will stop your any more birth. You will be free from this birth and death. So try to understand how Kṛṣṇa takes His birth." |

| "The originally idea is, in the society, those who are intellectuals, those who are engaged in intellectual work, they are called brāhmaṇas. To understand Brahman, to understand the situation of this world, they understand spiritual knowledge. Those who are engaged in such cultivation of knowledge, they were called brāhmaṇa. But at the present moment anyone who is born in the family of the brāhmaṇa, he is called a brāhmaṇa. But actually he may be a cobbler. But that is not the idea. So, these eight divisions of human society, scientific division of human society, is now lost. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu instructed that kalau, 'In this age', nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā (CC Adi 17.21), 'there is no other alternative for advancement of human society's goal of life'. Because human society is meant for advancing in the goal of life, and that goal of life is Kṛṣṇa consciousness." |

| "When one is advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness his business becomes to see, 'Whether I am wasting my time?' That is one of the sign, advanced devotee. Avyartha kālatvam. Nāma-gāne sadā ruci (CC Madhya 23.32). Attachment for chanting always. Prītis tad-vasati sthale: (CC Madhya 23.18-19) and attraction or attachment for living in the temple, vasati, where Kṛṣṇa lives. Kṛṣṇa lives everywhere, but specifically, to give us chance to meet, He lives in the temple or in places like Vṛndāvana. So prītis tad-vasati sthale. One should be enhanced in attachment for living where Kṛṣṇa is living. Prītis tad-vasa... Nāma-gāne sadā ruci. And taste for singing always the holy name." |
