Krishna's Mercy

Four Kinds Of I Am

“This ‘I am,’ the sense of self, also exists in the liberated stage of self-realization. This sense of ‘I am’ is ego, but when the sense of ‘I am’ is applied to this false body, it is false ego. When the sense of self is applied to reality, that is real ego.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 13.8-12 Purport)

Three Reasons God Is A Somebody

Acharya Upasanam

“As for acceptance of the spiritual master, that is essential, because without the instruction of a bona fide spiritual master, one cannot progress in the spiritual science.

Four People To Whom Krishna Offered Respect

“When Lord Shri Krishna was in Dvaraka, He offered His respects by bowing down at the lotus feet of Narada. When Sudama Vipra came to His house, Lord Krishna personally washed his feet and gave him a seat on His personal bed. Although He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Shri Krishna offered His respects to Maharaja Yudhishthira and Kunti. The Lord's exemplary behavior is to teach us.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 4.21.38)

Three Categories Of Standards With Different Situational Outcomes

“If one does not accept the authority of the Supreme Godhead in matters of religion and morality, one must explain why two persons of the same moral standard achieve different results. It is generally found that even if two men have the same moral standards of ethics, honesty and morality, their positions are still not the same. Similarly, in economic development it is seen that if two men work very hard day and night, still the results are not the same.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 4.21.30 Purport)

Worrying About Others

“By good fortune all is well with Rama, who is pious-souled and true to His promise, and Lakshmana, the increaser of joy for Sumitra.” (Sita Devi speaking to Hanuman, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 36.12)
