Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we are worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the supreme leader. Human society cannot work without leader. Anywhere you go, any country, any nation, any society, any community, any family, there is a leader. So the Vedas instruct that there is a supreme leader. Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). This (is) very important mantra in Kaṭha Upaniṣad."

Lecture BG 18.45 - Durban
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So this human form of life is very durlabha, very rarely got. Durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma.
kaumāra ācaret prājño
dharmān bhāgavatān iha
durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma
tad apy adhruvam arthadam
(SB 7.6.1)

This is the version of Prahlāda Mahārāja. He was preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness among his school friends. Because he was born in a demon father's family, Hiraṇyakaśipu, he was stopped uttering even 'Kṛṣṇa'. He could not get any opportunity in the palace, so when he was coming to school, at the tiffin hour he would call his small friends, five years old, and he would preach this Bhāgavata-dharma. And the friends would say, 'My dear Prahlāda, we are now children. Oh, what is the use of this Bhāgavata-dharma? Let us play'. Now he said, 'no'. Kaumāra ācaret prājño dharmān bhāgavatān iha, durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma (SB 7.6.1): 'My dear friends, don't say that we'll keep it aside for cultivating Kṛṣṇa consciousness in old age. No, no'. Durlabham. 'We do not know when we shall die. Before the next death we must complete this Kṛṣṇa consciousness education'. That is the aim of human life. Otherwise we are losing the opportunity.
