Principle of Work

The fruits of our work are always given to Krishna and so Krishna accepts the responsibility of what these fruits shall be. So this is our principle of work.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Gargamuni, (Los Angeles, December 19, 1968)

Benefit of the Lord

The success of human life is considered when one fully surrenders his life,his wealth, his intelligence and his words for the benefit of the Lord.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Mrs Levine, (Los Angeles, January 10, 1969)

Prosecuting Krishna Consciousness

For prosecuting Krishna Consciousness one should not eat more than what is needed. One should not endeavor beyond his capacity. One should not talk unnecessarily. What one should do is chant the Holy Name of the Lord with faith, enthusiasm, and firm conviction on the statement of Lord Chaitanya that simply by chanting the Maha Mantra one can be gradually elevated to the highest platform of spiritual perfection.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Kanupriya, (Los Angeles, January 15, 1969)

Spiritual Engagement with Krishna

Do not let even one minute go by without doing some sort of service for Krishna. Because as soon as there is a little gap of Krishna Consciousness, immediately Maya makes an attack to grab us again. So keep up with your. Engagements and always think of Krishna so that Maya will not have a second's opportunity to try to conquer you. And Krishna gives all assurance that the sincere devotee will never know defeat.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Upendra, (Los Angeles, January 16, 1969)

Spiritual Advancement

In this age no one is able to remain aloof from the general human society.Therefore 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 Centers;this will bring better spiritual results than living in the forest. Krishna Consciousness is possible when one is in association of devotees.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Kulashekara, (Los Angeles, January 21, 1969)

Krishna's Service

Simply engage yourself in Krishna's service. That will protect you from any attack of Maya. Maya can take Krishna's place in our heart as soon as there is a slackness on our part. Otherwise, if Krishna's seated always, Maya has no opportunity to occupy the seat.

 

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Upendra, (Los Angeles, February 1, 1969)

Krishna Association

When we keep our association with Krishna, every activity is proper and liberating but if we should dissociate ourselves from the Lord's Mercy then like a hand which is severed from the body we become ugly and useless.

Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Hrisikesha, (Los Angeles, November 26, 1968)
