Seeking
Happiness and Peace
'One cannot become a guru without first becoming a disciple; but many
do not understand it. There are such gurus roaming this world – there
is no point in taking initiation from them; rather, it is said in the
scriptures that such gurus must be given up.'

Journey from Misguidance to Absolute Guidance
[By Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj]
"It is possible to connect with Him only through surrender, and it will be He
who will decide how He will best suit you. Let Him decide it. 'Hare Krishna'
is not a prayer for anything; it is only an address, 'O Hare Krishna, I want
You. You please consider and decide what will suit me. I only want you. I am
in danger, and I want Your protection; how you will protect me is to be
decided by You, it is not my business.' By embracing His consideration is
where we gain the most. We must only try to increase, if possible, the degree
of our surrender. That is what is actually necessary from us."

yourself, you must also feed the Lord yourself.'

Keep Your Charge
Up
'We must serve the Lord every single day, then we will get supreme benefit.
Maya is where there is darkness – there is no Maya where there is light. We
must always remember this. We must live remembering this and chanting the
Holy Name.'

Toxic Life
'Just as iron burns everything with the power of fire, Maya Devi also turns
everybody into her menial servants. That is why we spend twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week, worrying about our children, wives or husbands. From
the moment we wake up in the morning until the moment we fall asleep at
night, we only think about ourselves; we do not have time to think about the
Lord.'
