Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very nice. We churn butter and have festival and live nicely and dance, Hare Kṛṣṇa. It is very nice life. So just cooperate and try to improve. It will improve if you be sincere. Kṛṣṇa will send all help. And some day it will be actually replica of that Vṛndāvana."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So the statement of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that tal labhyate duḥkhavad anyataḥ sukham (SB 1.5.18). You don't try for so-called economic development. You cannot have more than what you are destined to get. It is already settled. This living entity receives different grades of standard of living condition, so they're according to the past karma, daivena, daiva-netreṇa (SB 3.31.1), karmaṇā. So you cannot change that. That nature's law, you cannot change. Why you have got varieties of life, varieties of position, varieties of business. It is destined. Viṣayaḥ khalu sarvataḥ syāt (SB 11.9.29). Viṣaya, these material enjoyment—means eating, sleeping, mating and defending—these... Only standard is different. I am eating something, you are eating something. Maybe, in my calculation, you are eating not very good. In your calculation I am not eating very good. But the eating is same. You are eating. I am eating. So in the material world the standard of happiness, taking the basic principle, it is all the same. But we have created, 'This is good standard. That is bad standard. This is very nice. This is very bad'."

"So try to see Kṛṣṇa with that staring eyes—'Where is Kṛṣṇa'? Here is... Kṛṣṇa is within your heart. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānām (BG 18.61). He is within the atom. He is everywhere. So by service, we can realize. Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ (CC Madhya 17.136). If we want to see Kṛṣṇa, touch Kṛṣṇa, with our these material senses, it is not possible. These senses are to be purified. How it is purified? Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau: the service. And wherefrom the service begins? The service begins jihvādau, from the tongue. The service begins from the tongue. You chant. Therefore we are giving you the beads to chant. That is the beginning of service: chanting.If you chant, then svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ. By hearing Kṛṣṇa's name, you will understand Kṛṣṇa's form, you will understand Kṛṣṇa's quality, you'll understand Kṛṣṇa's pastimes, His omnipotency. Everything will be revealed."

Conversation - Moscow
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Now, this Bhagavad-gītā was spoken five thousand years ago, and Bhagavad-gītā it is said that 'This system of Bhagavad-gītā was first spoken by Me to the sun-god'. So if you take estimation of that period, it comes forty millions of years. So whether the European scholar can trace out the history of at least for five thousand years together, not to speak of forty millions? So we have got evidences that this varṇāśrama system is current at least for the five thousand years, varṇāśrama. And this varṇāśrama system is mentioned in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa also: varnāśramācaravata puruṣeṇa paraḥ pumān (CC Madhya 8.58). Varnāśrama acaravata. So that is stated in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa. And so varṇāśrama-dharma is not a..., within any historical period calculated in the modern age. It is natural."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Just like stone or steel does not melt very easily, similarly, anyone's heart which does not change after chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra regularly, then it is to be understood that it is steel-framed, made of stone or iron. Actually, hari-nāma—harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam (CC Adi 17.21)—it is especially meant for cleansing the heart. That every... All misconception is within our heart, beginning from the wrong identification, that "I am this body." That is the beginning of all misconception."
