A
- A class of common men maintain that it does not matter how the Absolute Truth is addressed, for all names are one and the same. They give the example of a man with many names; if he is called by any of those names, he will answer
- A common man must first begin to serve the spiritual master, or the devotee. Then, through the mercy of the devotee, the Lord will be satisfied
- A devotee cannot eat anything and everything he likes; he must eat only foods that have been offered to God. The Lord clearly says (BG 9.26) that He will accept a flower, a fruit, a leaf, or a little water if they are offered to Him with devotional love
- A living entity should surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is situated in everyone's heart, and that will relieve him from all kinds of miseries of this material existence. BG 1972 purports

- Although the spiritual existence was there with the Lord, the material existence was dormant in Him. By His will only is the material manifestation done and undone
- Although we cannot perceive the transcendental nature of the Supreme Lord, His name, fame, and activities, if we establish ourselves in Krsna consciousness, gradually God will reveal Himself before us
- As explained in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.7), the material creation takes place at intervals by the will of the Lord, and in the periods between dissolution and creation, the living entities and the material energy remain dormant in Him
- As requested by Lord Brahma, the Personality of Godhead will explain all about the four questions put forward by Brahma, and others also which are parts and parcels of the same questions
- As stated in BG, Surrender unto Me, and I will give you protection from all kinds of sinful reaction." That is His mercy. But this does not mean that one who has surrendered to the lotus feet of the Lord has committed no misdeeds in his past life
- At the end of this Kali-yuga, the Lord will appear as the incarnation of Kalki, and His only business will be to kill all human beings on the surface of the globe. After that killing, another golden age will begin
B
- Before the creation He (God) was there in the eternal abode, and after the annihilation He will continue to remain. He is not, therefore, one of the created beings. He is transcendental
- By His (God's) sweet will He reveals Himself by His internal potency, being satisfied by the transcendental loving service of the devotee
- By this attitude of service (chanting Hare Krsna), God will reveal Himself. You cannot understand God by your endeavor. Only if God reveals Himself
D
- Despite being contaminated by all the bad qualities of this Kali-yuga, if one surrenders unto the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Lord will surely and certainly deliver him. The best example is Jagai and Madhai
- Devotees in a transcendental parental relationship with the Lord think of Him as their dependent child. They forget His exalted position and think that unless they properly feed Him He will fall victim to undernourishment and His health will deteriorate
E
- Either you try to become sinless by your efforts, but if you think that you are unable, then you simply surrender to God, and He will help you
- Everyone goes to God to beg, "God, give us our daily bread." But one must go to God to give Him. If I do not give bread to Krsna, he will be starving. This is devotee's mentality
- Everything failed by the will of the Lord, and at the last stage, even after losing everything, men and money, he (Dhrtarastra) wanted to remain as king, being the eldest uncle of Maharaja Yudhisthira
F
- First deserve, then desire. So how a Krsna conscious person can be desireless? The first is desire: "I desire to serve Krsna." That is the beginning. Then Krsna will give you chance, as you deserve. This is the process
- First deserve, then desire. Why should you desire millions of dollars if you are a rogue? You must honestly work. You must have the business tactics, how to earn money. Then you'll get million dollars. Krsna will help you
- First of all you begin, try to learn how to love God. And when you are actually on the platform of love, prema, you will see God always in His form. He becomes revealed. You haven't got to try to see, but He will reveal
G
- God can expand Himself in any number of forms. We cannot do that. That is the symptom of God. Akrti, prakrti. Prakrti is His nature, supreme nature. As soon as He likes anything to do, He'll do it. There is no impediment
- God confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.26) - "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it." The real ingredient is bhakti (devotion). Pure devotion is uncontaminated by the modes of material nature
- God does not interfere with our tiny independence. If we want to act according to the order of God, then He will help us
- God has an authorized representation in the Deity form, which is called arca-vigraha. This arca-vigraha is an incarnation of the Supreme Lord. God will accept service through that form. BG 1972 purports
- God is full. We should not think that "God is depending upon my this little flower or fruit. When I shall offer fruit and He'll satisfy His hunger." No. He's purnam. But the qualification is that offering should be in love, in devotion. That He accepts
- God is giving protection to every living entity, but if you become devotee of the Lord, pure devotee, without any motive, then God will take special care of you
- God is the supreme father, and He will never tolerate that, "Because you are intelligent, you are allowed to kill another unintelligent living being." No
- God is within you - He will make your relationship with such a spiritual master who will enlighten you further and further. So practically, the spiritual master is the representative of Krsna. Now, it depends on me
- God means Supreme Being. You take His leadership. Then He'll properly guide you. That is our philosophy
- God says in Bhagavad-gita (BG 9.26): If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it
- God says that, "You surrender unto Me; I shall give you all protection." There is assurance. But we are so unfortunate that we cannot believe or cannot be assured on the words of God also. We do not believe
- God will decide. The God's book is there, Bhagavad-gita. Just like two lawyers fighting. Who will decide? The law book will decide
I
- I shall never be alone - one should think. "Even if I live in the darkest regions of a forest I shall be accompanied by Krsna, and He will give me all protection." That conviction is called abhayam, without fear. BG 1972 purports
- I thank you once more for your noble sentiments about me and I can simply say that for this nice attitude Krishna will certainly help you. I am fully aware of your sincere service and therefore I pray always to Krishna for your all-round welfare
- I will speak to you about the symptoms of yoga system - "with authorized statement." He (Kapiladeva) is Bhagavan, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whatever He speaks, that is authorized. You cannot argue
- If a person is not ashamed of his sinful activities and continues to commit the same sinful activities with the knowledge that the Lord will excuse him, that is a most nonsensical proposition
- If by chance a devotee accidentally performs some sinful activity, the Lord will excuse him, but one should not intentionally perform sinful acts
- If I want to become a tiger, God will give me all the facilities to become a tiger. He will give me facilities, paws and nails and teeth, so that immediately I can capture any animal

- If you actually follow all of the regulative principles and chant 16 rounds avoiding the offenses, and attend the mangala arati and classes, then Krishna will see that you are sincerely trying to follow the real process of Krishna Consciousness
- If you are actually devotee, then God will reveal. That is stated in the Vedic language

- If you become devotee, God will talk with you and give you direct instruction

- If you give Him service wholeheartedly, sincerely, then by the mercy of Krsna, you'll make advancement. Sevonmukhe hi jihvadau svayam eva sphuraty adah (Brs. 1.2.234). God will reveal
- In Bhagavad-gita it is said that when the Lord descends to this material world, He comes as a person by His own energy, atma-maya. He is not forced by any superior energy. He comes by His own will, and this can be called His pastime, or lila
- In regard to preaching the glories of the Lord there are no hard and fast rules, we must simply always remain ourself fixed in Krsna Consciousness and then Krsna will give us the good guidance how to push things on
