If you catch up Krishnaās lotus feet very tightly, then you will not fall down.
This life of material existence is just like hard wood, and if we can carve Krishna out of it, that is the success of our life.
If you want perfection in your business, then you must try to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Otherwise you are simply wasting your time.
One who seeks pleasure externally, he is materialist, and one who seeks pleasure internally, he is spiritualist.
Everyone is being controlled by God, but a devotee is so exalted that Krishna says, āI wish to be controlled by you.ā This is Krishnaās position.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. This point should be very carefully observed, and then you will advance very quickly to the perfectional stage of Krishna consciousness.
It is better not to have a fruit tree than to have a poison fruit tree.
Any nonsense you do and if you say, āIt is the latest fashion,ā everyone will do.
Anyone who carries Krishna within himself, constantly, can go anywhere and turn the place into a sacred pilgrimage.
Think of Krishna always and try to work sincerely, and everything will come automatically.
If by the tongue you chant Hare Krishna mantra, and by the tongue you taste prasadam, you will be perfect, simply by executing these two things.
If one is a poor man, he can go to some friendsā house and accept food and then come back, but one should never accept residence in otherās house.
Out of the dept of Cyberspace IĀ“m sending you all a “high”
Accept my bad english!
IĀ“m a isolated Krsna believer!
My ?
How do i have to understand this “”If one is a poor man, he can go to some friendsā house and accept food and then come back, but one should never accept residence in otherās house. “”
Well i donĀ“t have friends to got to, so i canĀ“t accepte food! If i had friends an the offer me a place to stay at, why should i not accept it?
Or is it a different meaning?
Is it his the meaning, If iĀ“m a Krsna believer, i could go to People who have a different believe into a Higher Power, so i can accept food what is offered? And if those who believe in a different Highe Power than Krsna, and they would offer me a place to stay, why should i not accept it?
IĀ“m confused about it. And iĀ“m asking seriously!
Hare Krsna
I understand Srila Prabhupada to mean that you can accept some hospitality or charity from a friend, but that you should not take advantage and move in with them. In other words, don’t wear out your welcom. Also, if you make yourself dependent on someone by living under his roof, you become obliged to him, at the risk of compromising your values.
