Five Protracted Forms Of Duhkha

“O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-gita, 2.14)

Three Things That Should Have Majority Influence Over The Consciousness

What Is Your Best Argument Against The Caste System

“Ultimately the aim of varnashrama-dharma is to turn a crude man into a pure devotee of the Lord, or a Vaishnava. Anyone, therefore, who becomes a Vaishnava accepted by the first-class Vaishnava, or uttama-adhikari Vaishnava, is already considered a brahmana, regardless of his birth or past deeds. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu accepted this principle and recognized Shrila Haridasa Thakura as the acharya of the holy name, although Thakura Haridasa appeared in a Mohammedan family.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.2.2 Purport)

Three Reasons Not To Ignore The Benefactor

“Lord Vishnu, the Supreme, cannot exhibit His power everywhere without His principal energy. It is said, shakti shaktiman abheda: the power and the powerful are identical.

One cannot keep Lakshmi in one's home without Lord Vishnu.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 6.19.6 Purport)

“We say that presently the soul is in a sleeping state, and we are telling the soul, ‘Please wake up! Please wake up! You are not the body!

Three Reasons Not To Be Hypocritical In Bhakti

“For sense enjoyment one can act in any capacity of the social order, but if one follows the rules and regulations of his particular status, he can make gradual progress in purifying his existence. But he who makes a show of being a yogi, while actually searching for the objects of sense gratification, must be called the greatest cheater, even though he sometimes speaks of philosophy.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 3.6 Purport)
