- Because you have got very good brain you'll understand Krsna - no. Nayam atma pravacanena labhyo na medhaya na bahuna srutena. If you think that you are a very good scholar, university degree-holder, then you'll understand - no. This is not possible
F
- Fame is a material desire, but to desire fame in Krishna Consciousness is not bad. If you think that people may know me as a great devotee of Krishna, that they may acknowledge me a nice devotee of Krishna, that is not at all bad
- First of all you have to decide whether sex life is good or bad. First of all you have to understand this. If you think that sex life is very nice, then how can you give it up? It is not possible
H
- Hare Krsna mantra is not ordinary sound. It is para-prakrti. Golokera prema-dhana hari-nama-sankirtana. Hari-nama-sankirtana is not this material sound. If you think it is material sound, you are rascal
- Hare Krsna mantra means you become free from all sinful reaction of life. But if you think that, "I have got an instrument, chanting Hare Krsna mantra, so let me commit all sinful activities, and I shall chant Hare Krsna, it will be nullified," no
- He (Vasudeva Datta) told the Lord (Caitanya): If You think that they (people on this earth) are so sinful that they cannot be delivered, please transfer all their sins unto me. I shall suffer for them. This is a Vaisnava's mercy
I

- I have noted that you would like to go to the New York center for some time. If you think that program is nice then I have no objection to your going there and living with the devotees in the temple there
- If I think that "I shall become mother Yasoda," that is also Mayavada. That is also Mayavada, exactly like that, if one thinks that "I shall become Krsna." Our only proposition is how to be engaged in the service of Krsna
- If one thinks that Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the only perfect personality whereas the demigods, even demigods as Siva, are inclined to improper social affairs, he is an offender. Citraketu was somewhat harsh in his behavior with Siva
- If the population, varna-sankara, is increased, then it becomes hell. So if you want to increase the hellish person, then don't discuss. But if you think it is a problem, then discuss
- If we think that "I have got attraction on Krsna and also the sense gratification," that means bogus. The test is how far I am detached to sense gratification. Then it means that you have increased your spiritual life
- If we think that He (Krsna) is a controller like us, that is our misconception. He is controller. There is controller. With unlimited knowledge and unlimited assistants, with unlimited potencies, He is managing
- If we think that it (chanting Hare Krsna mantra) is subha-kriya - subha-kriya means something auspicious - no, that is also offense. We have already described so many offenses; this is also one of offense
- If we think that, "I am doing for Krsna so much, so I must have this here," Krsna will give you; but that is called karma
- If we want really happiness, then we must accept tapasya. Tapasya is required. Without tapasya, if you think that very easily... Or "Without tapasya, I can get it simply by imagination," then you become sahajiya

- If you are thinking that you are the master of your wife, children, of your servants, of your business, that is false. You are the servant of your wife, you are servant of your children, you are the servant of your servants. That is your real position
- If you artificially think that "I'm not going to bow down anyone. I am independent," then you suffer. Simply you have to seek out the proper place where you have to bow down. That's all
- If you go on collecting in this way, where is the difficulty? Of course if there is great need, I can give you, but if you think that you can manage something independently, then try for that, that will be better
- If you have no objection, you can chant Hare Krsna, & if you think that "The Hare Krsna is imported from India. We shall not chant," all right, you chant your own God's name. Where is the objection? But chant the holy name of God. That is our propaganda
- If you think clearly that if the animals, the birds, the beasts, they have no problem for eating, sleeping, mating and defending, why - we are civilized human being - why we have got this problem
- If you think that "I am serving for my sense gratification: I have to eat, I have to sleep, I must have sex and I must defend . . ." These are the necessities of the body. These necessities are there in the animal form of life also
- If you think that "I'm the car . . ." The car is dead. The car is moving because you are alive. Similarly, this dead body . . . this body is dead, already dead from the very beginning, but it is moving on account of the soul. This is knowledge
- If you think that "My dear God, I come to You for my daily bread, and as soon as You give me my daily bread, my business is finished with You..." No. That is also very good, but this is not love. This is business

- If you think that natural life, animal life, to become naked and do all nonsense, then "All right. You, next life you become a tree, naked. Stand up naked for ten thousands of years." You want to be naked? That's all right
- If you think that there are many objection, "If I keep one picture of Krsna or I offer Him something, fruits and flowers," all right, don't do that. But what is the objection if you chant? You have got freedom, - Hare Krsna
- If you think that this Krsna name is not very suitable, you can accept any name. That doesn't matter. Our proposition is you chant God's name. That is our proposal
- If you think that you are chanting, therefore there will be no reaction of sinful activities, that is the greatest sin. Greatest offense. Never. Don't commit any sinful activities
- If you think that you are poor man, you cannot supply any valuable things, Krsna says, "Never mind." - Simply little flower, little fruit, if you offer Me with devotion, I accept

- If you think you have no money, then pranair arthair dhiya, by your intelligence. If you have got some knowledge, write some books and spread it, Krsna consciousness
- If you think you shall be able to sell them you can keep the books on sales account and in that case you will please immediately hand over two sets of Book (Srimad-Bhagavatam) to Srimati Sumati Morarji as abovementioned and oblige
- If you think, "Here is marble statue, and if I commit some offense, who is going to see?" this is wrong conclusion. He is, Krsna, personally present here in a form which we can see
- If you think, "I am God," yes, you are also God. Because there is nothing beyond God. Ahangrahopasanam. If you think everything is God, that is also true. Because in the higher conception, there is nothing beyond God
- If you, from the very beginning, if you think, "What will be, this school will do me? They're learning A-B-C-D." There is no faith. You may call it blind faith, but that is required
- In the prison house, if you think a first-class prison is very nice, but after all, it is prison house; your independence is cut down
- Inquire from him submissively. Where you cannot submit, if you think that, "Oh, what is this spiritual master? I can challenge him," then there is no question of accepting as your spiritual master. You have to submit yourself, fully surrender yourself
K
- Krsna consciousness means . . . the simple thing is that you chant Hare Krsna. But if you think yourself as very learned, thoughtful man, and you want to understand through science and philosophy, all right, come on. We have got books. Learn it
- Krsna is the name of God, but if you think that "Krsna is Indian name or Hindu name. Why shall I chant it?" no, you have got your God's name, so you chant that. You chant that. We recommend that you chant. God's name must be. Then you'll be purified
- Krsna said, "Still, I want to hear from you (King Nrga) how you were put into this position. If you think that you can disclose this secret, then please tell us your identity"
O
- One has to study that, "Whether I can surrender to him (guru)?" If you think that, "No, I know better than him," don't accept a formal guru. That is mistake. And guru also will see, he's appealing to me, he is going to accept my discipleship
- One who thinks that, "I am this body," he's no better than dog and cat. However nicely dressed he may be, he's a dog, he's a cat. That's all. No more than animal. Because he has no knowledge of his self
T
- That artificial stoppage of sense activities will not be ultimately beneficial. Or thinking that my sense activities may be stopped, I become silent, become one with the supreme - that will also not help us
- The system is: the disciple falls flat before the spiritual master. That is the etiquette, pranipatena. And if you think that you know better than Krsna or Krsna's representative, the guru, there is no necessity of accepting guru
- Thinking must be there, but if you think of this body - how to keep it very comfortably, how to enjoy senses, how to have more money, how to have more men or women, how to see naked dance, how to do, how to this, how to this - then you are demon

W

- We are committing sinful activities even by thinking. If I think that, "I shall kill that man," this is mental activity. Still it is sinful
- When you think like devotee, that is perfection. And you think that "I am American," "I am Indian" - that is animal. So it is according to the advancement of one's life
Y
- Yoga system is very difficult for this age. But if you think that this fractional practice of yoga, a hundredth, or one percent . . . that is not possible to reach to the perfectional stage
- You are dead actually, because this body, the bodily concept of life, this body is dead. Just like you are driving one car. But if you think that "I'm the car . . ." The car is dead. The car is moving because you are alive
- You cannot become in peace so long you think that "I am the proprietor." You are not actually the proprietor. You cannot claim proprietorship
- You cannot remain as American. You may think that you are born in America, you are very happy. But you cannot remain as American for long. You'll have to be kicked out of the place, and next life you do not know
- You may not understand the philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita. That is also not very difficult; but still, if you think that you cannot understand, you can still chant very easily: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna
- Your sympathy for the suffering humanity is nice, because if you think that, "So many people are suffering from disease. Let me open a hospital, and let me give free treatment," from your part it is all right
