  • The natural tendency of the jiva is to render devotional service to the Lord and to give up karma, jnana, yoga and tapasya.
  • Verse in which Krsna states that He provides the devotee with everything he needs: ananyāś cintayanto māṁ… (BG 9.22).
  • The nature of the mind is to be always in motion. How to control the mind? Through abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (renunciation).
  • If you want to enjoy family life, do not see Govinda Deva because you will become detached, but your life will be successful.
  • ⁠Chanting the Holy Names, step by step, you will reach your goal, Krsna will arrange everything for you.
  • Mahaprasada and Harikatha, that is the motto.
  • Balance your material and spiritual life, this is very important.
  • The fact that you are here listening to Harikatha and in Krsna Consciousness is a great good fortune!
  • People in general have no knowledge of what spiritual life is. If you compare yourself with these people, you will see that you are moving forward.
