Lecture Excerpt - Montreal
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"We should learn to sacrifice for Kṛṣṇa. That is the sign of love. Yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi yaj juhoṣi (BG 9.27). If you... you are eating, if you simply decide that 'I shall not eat anything which is not offered to Kṛṣṇa', then Kṛṣṇa will understand, 'Oh, here is a devotee'. 'I shall not see anything except Kṛṣṇa's beauty', Kṛṣṇa can understand. 'I shall not hear anything except Hare Kṛṣṇa and topics on Kṛṣṇa'. These things are there. It does not require that you become very wealthy, very beautiful or very learned. You have to decide that 'I shall not do this without Kṛṣṇa. I shall not do this without Kṛṣṇa. I shall not mix with any man who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious. I shall not talk anything which does not speak about Kṛṣṇa'. So your... 'I shall not go anywhere except Kṛṣṇa's temple. I shall not engage my hands in anything except Kṛṣṇa's business'. In this way, if you train your activities, then you love Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa is purchased—simply by your determination. Kṛṣṇa does not require anything from you. Simply He wants to know whether you have decided to love Kṛṣṇa. That's all."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Suppose you have got good bank balance, nice house and everything, good society, friendship, relative... But at any moment death will come and kick you out. What you can do? Mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham (BG 10.34). Death will come and will take everything, what you have got. Finished. And he will make you a dog. Now bark. (laughter) How can you stop it? Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi (BG 3.27). You have practiced how to bark in the Legislative Assembly, now go and become a dog and go on barking: yow, yow, yow. (laughter) This is going on. They do not know what is life, what is the purpose of life."
