A devotee knows how to engage himself and others in the service of Krishna completely, as well as all the wealth of the world in the matter of propagating Krishna consciousness. Rest assured.

SEPTEMBER 02
Spiritual master's qualification is he's trying his best to deliver the soul from these clutches of maya. That is a great service. Therefore he is very dear. One who is chanting or executing devotional service for his personal benefit and one who is trying to deliver others for others' benefit, there is difference.

When we come to the platform of understanding that I am not this body, I am soul, then my occupational duty changes. At the present moment we are all working on the platform of bodily concept of life but when you come to the platform of understanding that aham brahmasmi, I am not this matter, I am spirit soul, then my occupational duty changes. Not.... That is my real occupational duty, because I am really spirit soul.

"A brahmana, even if he gets one lakh of rupees, one hundred thousands of rupees, still he is a beggar." Because he will not keep it. He will immediately distribute it in charity.

Even if there are some dead metal utensils, but when they are together they make so much noise, so what to speak of living utensils. This is natural, but since we are all pledged to work for Krishna we should follow the principle of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu: trinad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna. This is Vaisnavism. So my request is do not be agitated. Let us do our duty honestly.
Srila Prabhupada in Vrindavan, September 06, 1975

It is not true that there are no shoes in Krishna lila, rather there are shoes except for the Vrindavana pastimes. But the shoes are of another quality, they are beautiful with jewels, etc. On the battlefield they must wear shoes.

This transcendental sound, Hare Krsna, Hare Krina, Krsna Kışņa, Hare Hare, you don't think that I have come here it is my personal manufacture. No. It is not. No. It is not my personal manufacture.

A musician, because one has got a good attachment for music, he tries to perform it very perfectly. So love is the basis. Similarly, when you serve Krishna, if you have no love for Krishna, you cannot serve Him very nicely. And Krishna also does not accept your service if it is not done in great love and affection.
Srila Prabhupada in London, September 12, 1973
SEPTEMBER 13
As soon as you become God conscious, the demons will create disturbance. Just like Lord Jesus Christ. He was crucified by the demons. The only fault was that he was God conscious. Just see, such innocent person.

Now there are third-class, fourth-class men, dressed like President and king, but their business is to plunder money from the citizens and kill cow. This is Kali-yuga's king. Dressed like king, but sudra. Very expert in cow-killing.

Ksura means sharpened razor. If you are careful, you cleanse very nicely. If you are not careful, immediately blood. So the spiritual life is like that. As soon as you become little inattentive, immediately maya captures, "Yes, come on." Then everything failure.

If we say that our Spiritual Master is Krishna, then the conclusion is that if we become Spiritual Master some day, then we will also become Krishna. Please try to understand how dangerous this kind of reasoning is.

How one can attain that platform of purity? Krsna says that "One who is engaged in devotional service to Me without any deviation," that means twenty-four hours in Krsna consciousness, "he is pure." He is pure. If you can keep yourself always, constantly in Krsna consciousness, always thinking of Krsna, then you are pure.
Srila Prabhupada in Seattle, September 25
SEPTEMBER 26
Krishna takes special care of the devotee, guides him, gives him intelligence. What kind of intelligence? Just to give him the clue how one can go back to home, back to Godhead. Krishna does not give intelligence how one can gain some material prosperity. Therefore people are not very much interested in worshiping Krishna.
Srila Prabhupada in Bombay, September 26, 1973

Guru and Krishna are two parallel lines on which the spiritual express runs very smoothly.

By the Grace of Krishna and the Spiritual Master, the dumb man can speak like a great orator, and a lame man can cross over a great mountain. So we must have the necessary unflinching faith in Krishna and Spiritual Master, and the strength will be supplied by Krishna. After all, anything which we experience is but a fraction of the unlimited energy of Krishna.
