क्या बहुत दिनों तक बचे रहना अच्छा है?
प्रभुपाद श्रील भक्ति सिद्धांत सरस्वती ठाकुरGranth upadeshamrithindi
वास्तव में संसार में सुख है ही नहीं । संसार नाना प्रकार की अनहोनियों को घटाकर अशान्ति उत्पन्न कर देता है। उसमें अच्छा, बुरा या आशिक पवित्रता रहने पर भी अनेक समय नाना प्रकार की अशान्ति उत्पन्न कर देता है।
Should we have immense faith in God?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
We are constantly inducing the Lords servants to enhance their faith in God. Their success, however, depends on their respective luck. If Krsna bestows His mercy, everyone will profit. We should always discuss topics about the Vaishnavas. Then the pride that we are enjoyers will not trouble us. Our mind can help us become bound by different kinds of material enjoyment, but when devotional service, the souls constitutional propensity, is...
How can we destroy dissatisfaction?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
Fighting battles of speech, bodily comforts, and battles in the form of mental dissatisfaction will not allow us to serve Lord Hari. Therefore, become as tolerant as a tree and by the Lords will continue to live at Kurukshetra. By doing so, we will attain auspiciousness. We wait for that day when Sri Gaurahari will send us to some other place.
Is praying to the Lord for a healthy life deterimental to devotional service?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
Whatever way Lord Krsna is pleased to keep us we should accept without reservation. To desire sound health in order to worship the Lord is favorable for devotional service. To desire sound health in order to engage in sense gratification is not acceptable. Devotees do not wish to follow the path of the nondevotees, who demand that the Lord serve them. Rather, they pray for good health at the lotus...
Is the desire for frame an impediment on the devotional path?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
There is no point accumulating material fame. We should remember that material fame is like the hog stool. It is to be rejected. There are two paths in life, *sreyas* and *preyas*. The materialists follow *preyas* and desire wealth, women, and fame. Travelers on the devotional path follow *sreyas* and are therefore freed from material desire. That is why association with devotees is most beneficial.
Is a Kanishtha-adhikari superior to a karmi or jyani?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
A kanishtha-adhikari is superior because he has adopted the path of devotion, the path of auspiciousness. Karmis and jyanis donot have such fortune. Kanishtha-adhikaris are generally engaged in Deity worship. By serving the Deity, the guru, and the Vaishnavas, and by serving the Lords holy name, living entities attain supreme auspiciousness. Sri Chaitanyadeva has said that the tongue of anyone who utters the name of Krsna even once is the...
What is the living entity's ultimate goal?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
Material enjoyment or liberation cannot be the living entitys ultimate goal. The living entities are servants of the Supreme Lord, so their ultimate goal is devotional service. Liberation is the other side of material enjoyment. Both material enjoyment and liberation are witches, because both pull the living entities away from righteousness. This is why God-fearing, pious people never take shelter of witchlike material enjoyment or liberation. The devotees of the...
क्या संसार में सुख है?

What is service?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
That which gives pleasure to Lord Hari is service and that which gives pleasure to ourselves is enjoyment. Duplicitous people may worsship the Deity with sixteen ingredients in order to get sons and gradsons, but this cannot be called service because the purpose behind their worship is to get something from the Lord. There is so much cheating going on in the name of Deity worship and chanting of the...
How can we attain Krsna's service?
Prabhupada Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati ThakurGranth upadeshamrit
We are souls surrendered to Krsna. We are under the shelter of the spiritual masters lotus feet. It is not possible to see the Lord with our present material eyes. The Lords pure devoteees always see Him through eyes anointed with devotion. We are conditionaed souls.
