Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"So long you try to satisfy your senses, that is your material life. And as soon as you turn yourself to satisfy the senses of Kṛṣṇa, that is your spiritual life. It's a very simple thing. Instead of satisfying... Hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanam (CC Madhya 19.170). That is bhakti. You have got senses. You have to satisfy. Senses, with senses you have to satisfy. Either you satisfy yourself... But you do not know. The conditioned soul does not know that satisfying the Kṛṣṇa's senses, his senses will be automatically satisfied. The same example: just like pouring water to the root... Or these fingers, part and parcel of my body, giving foodstuff here to the stomach, automatically the fingers will be satisfied. This secret we are missing. We are thinking we shall be happy by trying to satisfy our senses. Kṛṣṇa consciousness means don't try to satisfy your senses, you try to satisfy the senses of Kṛṣṇa; automatically your senses will be satisfied. This is the secret of Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
Prabhupāda: What is that?

Viṣṇujana: Ice cream truck.
Prabhupāda: Oh, ice cream. (laughter) You are taking ice cream? Huh?
Viṣṇujana: No. They go up and down the street.
Prabhupāda: Canvassing?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Don't take ice cream. This is māyā. (laughter) 'Come on, come on, enjoy me. Come on, come on, enjoy me.' (laughs) As soon as you enjoy, you become entrapped. That's all. Just like fishing tackle. They throw the tackle and invite the fish, 'Come on, come on, enjoy me. Come on, come on, enjoy me'. As soon as—ap! (laughter) Finished. Then, (sound imitating fish) 'Where you go now? Come on in my bag. Yes, I'll fry you nicely'. You see? So these are all explained in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. The fish is losing his life by eating, by tongue.

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"At the time of my death again, as I remember my circumstances,
yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ
tyajaty ante kalevaram
(BG 8.6)

The subtle body mind, intelligence and ego that does not annihilate. The gross body earth, water, air, fire that is finished. Then the subtle body carries me to another gross body. Just like the flavor; the air carries the flavor. If it is blowing on some nice rose garden, the air carries the flavor of the rose. Similarly, my activities in this life will be, at the time of death, will be carried by the subtle body to form another gross body. So that gross body may be any one of the 8,400,000's. There are 8,400,000 forms of body. And by the laws of nature, I will have to enter in one of them. Therefore you will find varieties of living entities. So bhakti-yoga means to get relief from this business of being entangled in different bodies. That is called bhakti-yoga."
