3/27/10 1969 March 27: "Krishna consciousness means simply we are purifying our consciousness. By spreading Krishna consciousness, by adopting the process of Krishna consciousness, you can revive the Vedic cultural life and make successful the mission of human life. If not wholesale, if only there are a few people trained up in this line - they can become ideal examples to society and immense benefit can be derived from their example." letters | 23:56 | 3/26/10 1975 March 26: " We have no difficulty to understand Krishna and make our life successful. But the rascals unnecessarily bring arguments and impediments to understanding Krishna. Illogical argument means they are unfortunate, they are envious of Krishna. We say plainly, 'Anyone who doesn't believe Krishna as He is, he's a rascal.' You have no discrimination. We don't make compromise." letters | 15:41 | 3/25/10 1976 March 25: "God is personally speaking, 'This is the law.' Sarva-dharman parityajya. God is speaking personally, and you do not know? Big, big scholar, big, big monkey, they are reading Bhagavad-gita three hundred times daily, but do not know what is the law? Fools and rascals may meet them. Why shall I meet? What can I get from them? What is their special value? Tell me, why shall I meet?" letters | 13:32 | 3/24/10 1974 March 24: "The first business is to fix up the mind at the lotus feet of Krishna. Engage the tongue for describing the activities of Krishna, the legs for going to the temple, the hands for cleansing the temple, the nose for smelling the flowers offered to Krishna, and the ears for hearing about Krishna. In this way engage all our senses in different activities relating to Krishna - this is Krishna consciousness, this is the success of human life." letters | 14:16 | 3/23/10 1977 March 23: "Diamond is diamond, it must be purchased by the suitable customer. People must know, 'Here is diamond. If I want it, I must pay the price.' That I want to establish. I'm not going to cheat, taking Bhagavad-gita and speaking all nonsense. I am not a cheap patriot like Gandhi. I want to present Bhagavad-gita as it is. That is my mission." letters | 10:04 | 1977 March 23: "At any moment, anything can be changed by the laws of nature. One day before, Indira Gandhi was so important and the next day nowhere, finished. Nobody knows where is Indira Gandhi, twenty-four hours ago she was the most prominent woman and twenty-four hours later nobody cares to look at her. This is nature's law, how can you check?" letters | 09:57 | 3/22/10 1976 March 22: "You cannot seek the favor of Bhagavan directly, that is another foolishness. Nobody can be independently servant of Krishna. Krishna never accepts anyone's service directly, no. That is not possible. You must come through the servant of the servant. This is called parampara. Krishna spoke to Brahma, Brahma spoke to Narada, Narada spoke to Vyasadeva, and in this way we are getting this knowledge." letters | 10:24 | 1977 March 22: "We respect the Acaryas, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, not these voted-in leaders. We don't care for them. What is their value? Eulogized by thousands of dogs, hogs and asses. Modern education has created millions of twinkling stars, all useless for light. And our Vedic civilization says: 'Create one moon.' That is sufficient. This propaganda should go on by our movement. This is Bhagavata." letters | 09:50 | 3/21/10 1974 March 21: "So take advantage and read Bhagavad-gita perfectly and make your lives perfect. That is the Krishna Consciousness Movement. It is not a bogus movement, it is a most scientific movement. So take this Krishna Consciousness Movement very seriously and become all of you perfect in Krishna consciousness and deliver the suffering humanity. That is our only purpose." letters | 10:14 | |
