- I do not wish that the Gurukula should be closed. Please work combinedly and endeavour with great determination to keep it going on nicely
- I don't believe all this nonsense (two forces keep the moon in such a way that only one half remains facing the sun). This is unnatural. Every planet is rotating that is called orbit so how this moon can be different from other planets?

- Our method of establishing a flourishing center will continue to be the same. This is standard and successful. Please keep me informed about your center

- Our service is main thing, either in this dress or that dress. So if you cannot keep yourself sincerely as a sannyasi, then get yourself married. But you cannot keep the girl as friend. That is also not good
- Our Vaisnava philosophy is that you cannot keep yourself in spiritual consciousness unless you are fully engaged in spiritual activities. That is the perfect philosophy

- You have to stop his fever and keep him into his healthy life. That is treatment. Simply stoppage, simply negation, void, that is not treatment
- You just keep one picture of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda, and the family members sit down, around. Just like we are sitting now and chanting: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare. This kind of performing yajna, is there any expenditure?
- You keep the animals here, and take one of them, slaughter - they will think, "I am safe." This is animal. All of them will think, "Oh, I am safe. He is being taken. That's all." This is their dull brain, the modern animals
