Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Without father, nobody is born. So I do not know who is my father, but the mother is the evidence. That's all. You cannot make this theory that 'I was born without father'. That is not possible. That is not the laws of nature. But there must be father. You can say, "I have not seen him." And that is not proof that there is no father. One who has seen, go. Tattva-darśinaḥ. Therefore Bhagavad-gītā says,
tad viddhi praṇipātena
paripraśnena sevayā
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ
jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ
(BG 4.34)

Go to mother, who has seen your father. That is only proof."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So the disease is there, but the remedy is also there. Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam (CC Antya 20.12). We are misunderstanding. The human society, they are trying to adjust things by the United Nations, but it is not possible. United Nations cannot do. In Melbourne I was speaking, so I accused the United Nations, "They're assembly of barking dogs." Because you cannot be united on this material platform. If you keep yourself that 'I am dog', 'I am tiger', 'I am American', 'I am Indian', 'I am brāhmaṇa', 'I am śūdra', then there is no question of United Nations."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So Kṛṣṇa's pastimes go on—this universe, that universe, that universe, that universe. In some universe He's present. In all universes present. That is called nitya-līlā. So those who are advanced, perfect devotees, first of all they are sent there and then, further trained up, they enter. Mām eti. Just like after passing the administration examination he's made one assistant of some magistrate, and then gradually he'll be promoted up to the high-court judge."
