Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"So this merciful benediction was given by Lord Krsna, er, by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He is incarnation of Krsna. Krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam (SB 11.5.32). He is Krsna. Categorically, He's Krsna, or chanting Krsna. But by complexion He's akrsna. Tvisakrsnam. So He gave us this greatest benediction, that you simply chant Hare Krsna mantra and you get all knowledge. The greatest impediment of acquiring knowledge is congestion of our heart with dirty things. And Lord Caitanya says that if you chant without any offense very nicely, then your heart becomes cleansed of all dirty things. Ceto-darpana-marjanam bhava-maha-davagni-nirvapanam (CC Antya 20.12). And then you are liberated. Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati (BG 18.54)." |

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"In the spiritual world Kṛṣṇa is the enjoyer, and all others, they are enjoyed. Predominator and the predominating. The Lord is the predominating, so there is no disagreement. There they know, "The Lord is predominator. We have to serve." When this service attitude is impaired, "Why not... Why serve Kṛṣṇa? Why not ourself?" that is māyā. Then he falls down in the material energy." |

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"You cannot relieve this body from repeated birth and death, and while manifested, disease and old age. So people are very much busy for culturing knowledge of this body, although they are seeing every moment that this body is decaying. The death of the body was registered when it was born. That's a fact. So you cannot stop the natural course of this body. You must meet the process of the body, birth, death, old age, and disease." |
