- One has experience of a snake in reality, and therefore he knows that although the representation of the rope as a snake is false or illusory, there is a snake in reality

- One must come to know that his real happiness is in experiencing the pleasure of his transcendental senses, not the material senses

- One should not imagine that such an arrangement (of the cosmic manifestation) can exist without conscious direction. In our practical experience we never see that inert bricks can themselves construct a big building

- One should understand that the activities of persons who are proud of their material experience bring only results contradictory to those such persons conceive while awake, sleeping and deeply sleeping

- Our actual experience is that every man, animal, bird and beast - indeed, every living entity - is engaged in rendering service

P

- Service is pervertedly represented in the material world and broken untimely, resulting in sad experience
- Several times you have died, you have experienced, but you have forgotten. Forgetfulness... Forgetfulness is no excuse. Forgetfulness is no excuse. Suppose a child forgot some suffering. That does not mean that he did not suffer
- Sex enjoyment is so strong that a woman becomes pregnant and suffers at the time of childbirth, but she becomes pregnant again, despite her experience

- We are experiencing the difficulties arising from this material body, but we are not working in a way to become free. This Krsna consciousness movement is giving information on how to become liberated

- We have got experience: one minus one equal to zero. But there, in the spiritual world . . . that is called Absolute. Millions times one minus, still, the original one is one. That is Krsna. Advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam - Bs. 5.33
- We have got so many examples and experiences life that what is eulogized by some of our friends, it is condemned by others. So whole thing, our perfection of any act, that should be certified by the Supreme Lord

- We have wide experience of the external, or material, potency, but we generally fail to inquire about the actions and reactions of the other two potencies
- We may shudder to think, "Oh, after liberation will I still be a servant?" This is because we have experience that being a servant in the material world is not very enjoyable, but transcendental service is not like this
- We may study that this man died and that man died, etc., and after seeing that so many men have died we may conclude or generalize that all men are mortal, but there is a major defect in this inductive method, and that is that our experience is limited

- We see the flowers and fruits are coming every season. Why once? This dogmatic, we have to accept? Our experience is that by nature's way we find the same flower is coming again in the same season
- We should be careful not to carry materialistic ideas into the spiritual realm. Whatever we have materially experienced is but a perverted reflection of things in spiritual life
- We should not think that we are here and that all the other planets are vacant. From experience we can see that no place on earth is vacant of living entities. If we dig deep down into the earth, we find worms

- Whatever we are experiencing at the present moment is totally conditional and is therefore subject to mistakes and incompleteness
- Whatever we experience, even in this material condition of life, is but an emanation from Him. The Absolute Truth created the mind, senses and intelligence

- Whatever we find within our experience within this conditioned life is situated in the Supreme Lord, who is the ultimate source of everything
- Whatever we find within our experience within this conditioned life is situated in the Supreme Lord, who is the ultimate source of everything - CC Intro
