"That's the harsh reality of this world - we can never become permanently satisfied here within this world. And that pushes people more and more and more to try to experience satisfaction. But they never become satisfied. And some people, in their frustration, they will turn to alcohol, they will turn to drugs, they'll turn to different things like that. Due to frustration of material existence. That's why we're saying that people should wake up. Like everyone in human society should take the wake-up call and understand that we're not bodies, but we're spirit souls."

"8 400 000 species of life and even within the human species of life there 400 000 different species. Some undoubtedly higher, like devatas, and some are lower, but with the human form of life comes intelligence and the power of discrimination. It’s everybody's responsibility to utilize that for cultivation of self-realization in Krishna consciousness."

Narada says, “Truly this amazing energy of the supreme controller is inconceivable. But nothing can be hidden from Krishna’s pure devotees.” They have absolute faith in Krishna, they have absolute knowledge of Krishna. Like sometimes, in the very old days of ISKCON, these books were coming out, and we would read the books, and we would find very phenomenal subject matter, and we would sometimes read just something so inconceivable that we could not understand. So we would say, “Prabhupada, what to do?” He would say, “Please just keep reading. Continue reading and continue chanting, then your consciousness will be purified, and when that consciousness is purified, then nothing will be hidden from you.”

“Endeavor of love of God, bhakti, should be unconditional and unbroken. Yayatma suprasidati, Suta Goswami says that if you do this type of activity, then it will thrill your soul like no other activity ever thrilled your soul. He doesn’t just say ‘prasidati’, that you’ll be peaceful and satisfied and fulfilled. He says ‘suprasidati’, you’ll become SUPER excellently satisfied and fulfilled.”

As long as there is breath, and as long as there is prana, or life within our body, we will dedicate that prana, and that live and that breath for giving these wonderful Holy Names to others. We have nothing else to do with our lives. We serve the Holy Names of Sri Krishna and we serve the feet of vaisnavas, we serve the feet of our spiritual masters, we serve the feet of our founder acarya, and by doing this our life will achieve perfection.

"Sometimes when material situations become nicer, devotees say this is Krishna’s mercy. But actually, Krishna’s mercy is when we get the association of devotees who are surrendered, who relish chanting, who relish worshipping the Deities and relish the taste of Srimad Bhagavatam."

"Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami says in Caitanya Caritamrita that by Lord Caitanya’s mercy a blind man can see stars in the sky, lame man can walk across mountains and a fool will recite poetry. The mercy of Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so powerful that if one is dependent on Lord Caitanya and he remembers Lord Caitanya - anything can be achieved. Consequently, this Krishna Consciousness movement should be spread around the world, so the people can come in contact with Lord Caitanya and taste His mercy."

We should try to have loving exchanges. It is so important. If we really try to love one another and serve one another and care for one another, the problems of life will go away. But as long as we are seeing some problems and differences with one another, then there will always be some walls. It would be so ecstatic if we all just really cared for one another. After all, the thing that people want the most is to be loved. After all the philosophy has said, after all the philosophy has done, basically we just want to be loved, and we’d like to show love without being hurt. That’s all we want. And we’d like to love Krishna that way, we’d like to love the devotees that way. But the mind oftentimes creates so many problems. We should try to serve, we should try to love. Our big objective should be to love the devotees.

Just understand, when you give up your body you cannot take wealth and reputation along with you. And Lord Chaitanya said that this is why naturally devotees just give up material things and they just serve the Lord with determination. We don't want mixed bhakti with karma, jnana, or mysticism. We want to engage in pure bhakti, no material desires in the heart. And then when we come to that position, we will become very satisfied and we can float in the ocean of premananda [blissful ocean of love of God]. But as long as a concept of “I” and “Mine” is present, the heart will not be satisfied.

The transcendental sound is such a wonderful thing! It relieves our ears, it relieves our heart, it takes us out of material existence, places us on the path of liberation. And how does it do that? It does it by initially giving us sraddha or transcendental faith in the process of devotional service. And essentially that means that we develop faith in this process of sadhana-bhakti-yoga. Sadhana means practice, and practice is meant to bring us to the position of perfection. And the position of perfection is when we actually receive the Lord’s mercy and we will become free from all of these different temporary designations, and knowledge of our spiritual form will become awakened. But that perfectional position is not the end position because from that perfectional position we will proceed further until we come to the position of prema-bhakti or loving Krishna. So, it's a very beautiful sound – transcendental sound.

Our acaryas have written descriptions of each word of the maha-mantra. They have written descriptions of what you can meditate upon with each word of the maha-mantra. Like Ha-re, they have said, “You should meditate on Hari,” Hari meaning a thief, and we should pray, “Hare – Hari, O Krishna, please steal from my heart everything which is blocking my love from coming to You.” Or we should think of Sri Radha as a thief stealing the love of Sri Krishna. Or Krish-na – coming from the word akarshini, meaning the most attractive person. Different acaryas have written so many descriptions of meditations on the Holy Name of the Lord. It is not that we should only sit, “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Ram-ram-ram-ram-ram,” and mind be thinking of money or women. But in chanting the mantra mind should be full of meditation. Mind should be full of good thoughts.

"We have a very nectar-filled process. This is the mercy of Lord Caitanya, that He just opened a net of love of God and He spread that all over the world. He did that through the chanting of the Holy Names."
