Although the Goddess of Fortune is very restless and does not like to stay in one place for very long time, she is always finding new wonderful things in serving Krishna’s Lotus Feet so that she never thinks of leaving Him. This is actually the position of Krishna Consciousness, that when we get some taste of rendering sublime loving service to the Lord, no more do we have any taste for any other engagements.
Letter to Lakshmi, July 10, 1969
To train a new man is like training a wild animal to be a pet. Just like the tiger is trained in the circus and later on they are dancing to the tune of the master. So the point being stressed is training. A preacher should always be tolerant.

When initiation is given, the Spiritual Master becomes the spiritual father and the gayatri mantra becomes the spiritual mother and thus second birth takes place.
Letter to Hridayananda, July 6, 1971
Originally Krishna’s energy is one; spiritual energy. But according to different functions, Maya is represented differently. In the material world the energy is called Bhadra, and in the spiritual world the same Maya is called Subhadra. Su means auspicious. So in the spiritual world, the same Maya works auspiciously, and in the material world the same Maya works inauspiciously.

Anyone who carries Krishna within himself, constantly, can go anywhere and turn the place into a sacred pilgrimage.
Letter to Rupanuga, July 3, 1968
As soon as one man sees the breast and this armpit of a young woman, then he is finished. And so long he will be charmed with these things, he has to take birth again and again.
