Category:Our Results (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
A profound framework for understanding the nature of action and its outcomes is provided by Śrīla Prabhupāda throughout his instructions. He taught his followers that true spiritual perfection does not require abandoning one's occupational duties; rather, it simply requires offering the results of all work to Kṛṣṇa. While devotees must endeavor enthusiastically to produce tangible results for the preaching mission—especially through book distribution—they are taught to remain completely detached from the final outcome, knowing that success depends entirely on the Supreme Lord. By maintaining strict adherence to the regulative principles and trusting the paramparā, disciples are guaranteed to experience the sublime results of inner peace, detachment from matter, and pure love of Godhead.
- Offering Occupational Duties: Any talent or profession, whether business, carpentry, or professional labor, can be transformed into pure devotional service simply by dedicating the results to the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord.
- Detachment from the Outcome: A sincere devotee focuses entirely on the quality of their endeavor without personal ambition. In the absolute realm, there is no difference between success and failure as long as the service is rendered faithfully.
- The Tangible Results of Preaching: Despite their internal detachment, devotees must strive to produce concrete, visible results for the saṅkīrtana movement, measuring their success by how effectively they are changing the lives of the conditioned souls.
- Patience and Steadiness: Progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness requires utsāha (enthusiasm) and dhairya (patience). A disciple must never become agitated if spiritual results are not immediately visible, but must continue to strictly follow the regulative principles.
- The Sublime Spiritual Transformation: The authentic practice of bhakti-yoga yields immediate, sublime results within the heart, manifesting as a complete loss of attraction to material sense gratification and a profound sense of transcendental happiness.
- Judging by Spiritual Efficacy: The ultimate standard for evaluating any program, whether distributing books or holding festivals, is its ability to induce others to awaken their dormant God consciousness.

- A concrete example is Arjuna. He fought very chivalrously under the instructions of the Lord, and the Lord certified him to be the best devotee and friend of the Lord. So there is no distinction between chanting and offering the results of one's activity
- Actually there cannot be any unfavorable result, because we are serving Krishna
- After the class and breakfast everyone should go to their respective duties, deity worship, sankirtana, clean-up and so throughout the day this atmosphere of constant engagement will produce the truly happy result of transcendental life
- All the devotees here are very active in the service of Lord Krsna, and the results are obvious to see: happiness, good health, peace of mind, and the development of all good qualities. This is the nature of Vrndavana
- As soon as we are in touch with Krsna, in Krsna consciousness, the result will be that we shall lose our material attraction. Those who are falling down from Krsna consciousness again to the material attraction, that means they are not serious
I
- I am anxious to know about the result of the church negotiations. If by the Grace of Krishna it comes out successful, it will be a great achievement for your activities in Honolulu. When you get the church I must go there

- I am so glad to know that you are soon to complete the Dr. Frog story, and I shall be anxious to see the final result
- I have never compromised in any way and as a result of our sticking strictly to our principles our position is unique
- I never bribed them, nor I showed any magic. I simply asked them, "Chant Hare Krsna." And see the result. It is practical
- I thank you very much for your letter dated April 20, 1969, and the tape of our Sankirtana recording and prayer. Everyone who has heard it here is very satisfied with the result, and I thank you very much for your efforts in this connection

- I wrote you one letter regarding the translation work of Nrsimhavallabha Goswami and sons. I have not received any reply from you although I am very much anxious to know the result
- If you are, you are fit for becoming a carpenter, why should you imitate a brahmana? Better be expert carpenter and serve Krsna with the result of carpentry work. Then there is perfection
- If you go on Sankirtana to the big steel-making city in India and you do not take donation of steel from the citizens, only some letters, then where is your credit? Chanting and dancing, that's all right, but there must be some tangible results
- It is not in our power to serve Krsna perfectly. That is not... Because we are very teeny. But be assured that the desired result will come if we act sincerely to the point
- It is not so much important the quantity of books that we distribute, but that we serve Krishna as best we can, and depend on Him for the results
- It is not the result of the work we want. If only one person daily, if we sincerely preach to such one person in a day, that is sufficient, never mind big, big programmes
K
- Krishna Consciousness is the greatest of all good fruits. We must therefore have necessary endurance and enthusiasm to get the result. We shall never be disappointed when things are presented in reversed order
- Krishna consciousness is the process of eternal life. The process is simple and the results are sublime. You follow it and you will be happy in this life as well as in the next
O
- On the Absolute world there is no such relativities as a success and failure. The one thing in the Absolute world is to serve Krishna. Don't care for the result. Krishna must know that we are working very seriously and that is our success of life
- One need not go into the forest in a secluded place to try to make spiritual advancement. Much better idea is that one associate with devotees in the Krishna Consciousness Centres; this will bring better spiritual results than living in the forest
- Our point should be that we shall take all necessary steps for self-protection, depending the result on Krishna
- Our position is how to satisfy Krsna, not for personal self. Ordinary world activities. Serving Krsna and the result of such service is the same. In the material world, doing something and result of the doing is different. Our means and aim is the same
P
- Please work in cooperation with the GBCs and other leading devotees in India, and never mind if your efforts take some time before they produce solid results. The main thing is enthusiasm and determination
- Push on in your preaching work as I have shown you, remain pure, enthusiastic, and optimistic, and Krishna will favor you with all good results and benedictions
S
- Sex urge is a symptom of every living entity, but in the SB it is advised that it is something like the itching propensity. If one can tolerate this itching, he can save himself from enormous troublesome business resulting from this itching sensation
- Since 1967, we are presenting Bhagavad-gita as it is; thousands of young generation, they are taking to Krsna consciousness. This is the result
- Since the KCM going on at the present moment is genuine, perfect & authorized & is following in the footsteps of Prthu, anyone who cooperates with it or accepts its principles will get the same result as the workers who are actively propagating KC
- So in our conditioned stage there will be so many doubts, so many implication. But the same thing as I gave you example, that don't be very much hasty to receive the result immediately. Simply we have to follow
- Some more money is spent or less money, that doesn't matter. We want to see whether the result is there. I understand in that way
T
- Thank you for your wonderful sankirtana results. It is very pleasing to me that you have sold so many books. Now, continue and increase
- That system of religion which teaches development of God Consciousness is first class. We have to estimate by the result, and not by the formalities. So this movement, KC, very quickly develops this God Consciousness, and it is very easy to adopt it
- The distribution results from the Rathayatra are very nice. There is no question of profit. Distribution is the first consideration
- The proportion in which we fall back in Krishna Consciousness is filled up by the influence of maya. It is exactly like the proportion of negligence of our health is subsequently resulted in our falling ill
- The results show that there is no limit to our book distribution. Our books are qualified to be distributed unlimitedly. We are not fiction writers. It is a fact that no expert booksalesmen can compete with our men
- There is no distinction between chanting and offering the results of one's activity
W
- We are not begging for livelihood, but it is for expansion of the Krishna Consciousness Movement, and members who are free are working outside and giving the result of their work for Krishna Consciousness Movement
- We want to see good result. Even there is no good result, we don't mind. We must be sincere to Krsna that "We have done our best." That's all. Without cheating Krsna
- Whatever we have to do to induce people to take a book, that is nice. We shall judge the thing by its result, not by its means. But at the same time, we must avoid irritating anyone
- When there is large-scale congregational chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, we keep our temples open for everyone to join, and by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu this policy has given good results
- With record distribution alone, the result is temporary. They will hear it for some time and throw away. Book distribution is solid. Even if they do not read, simply by touching they are benefited. It is so much powerful
Y
- You have learned the life of a Sannyasi now it is my desire that you apply for some concrete results in this new field. If you do it, it will be a very great service to the Movement & humanity at large & I will be very pleased with this work
- You have to follow the rules and regulations. That will give you progress. Don't try to imitate. Just be in your position, try to follow the rules and regulations, and chant Hare Krsna, and gradually you'll get result. There is no need of being hasty
- You have to take the path of great personalities. Lord Caitanya chanted this Hare Krsna mantra. So we are following, and we are getting result. That's all. We don't manufacture our own way, because we are imperfect. We cannot manufacture
- You must follow the rules regulation so that you are benefitted. But if you are not benefitted simply by following the rules and regulation, that is agraha, only for the rules and regulation, not for the result. We must see that there is result
- Your ambition for chanting Hare Krishna exclusively is very good. But sacrificing the results of action is as good
- Your idea sounds very nice. It is a good proposal. Is it practical? Can you do it? If you think it is practical and you can do it, then it could have very nice results. Work nicely with Hamsaduta and see what can be arranged
