| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Just like in the Bhāgavata it is said that evaṁ prasanna-manaso (SB 1.2.20), "fully joyful," bhagavad-bhakti-yoga, "by practice of bhakti-yoga." Evaṁ prasanna-manaso bhagavad-bhakti-yogataḥ, mukta-saṅgasya: "and freed from all material contamination." He can understand God. Do you think God is so cheap thing, anyone will understand? Because they do not understand, they present something nonsense: "God is like this. God is like that. God is like that." And when God Himself comes, that "Here I am: Kṛṣṇa," they don't accept it. They'll create their own God." |

| "We cannot be desireless. We cannot be silent. But our desires, our activities, have to be purified. That is real knowledge. That is real knowledge. We shall desire only to serve Kṛṣṇa. That is purification of desire." |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Simple life means you produce your food and you produce your cloth so you dress yourself nicely, you eat yourself nicely, keep yourself fit, and glorify the Lord. This is one way of life. And the other way of life, that 'We don't care for the Lord. Let us enjoy the senses to the topmost capacity and be happy'. So this way of life will never make you happy. You will simply go on struggling. This is one way of life. Another way of life, that the human life is meant for God realization. That is Vedānta philosophy. Athāto brahma jijñāsā (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.1). Now, by evolutionary process, we have come to the human form of life, it is meant for asking, 'What is my constitutional position? Am I this body, or I am something else?'" |
