Srila Prabhupada's Quote Of The Day
April 19
Devotional service must continue under all circumstances. This material body is actually a bad bargain because it is prone to suffer, but we must make the best use of this bad bargain. That means to always be engaged in the service of Krishna without fail.

They have forgotten Krisha, they have forgotten God, and I am trying to make them Krishna conscious. It is a very difficult job. I have to shed my blood three tons before I make on convinced in Krishna consciousness. That is my experience. I have to talk with them, especially these Europeans and Americans. They do not accept anything so blindly.

In this material world, we are trying to be happy in society, friendship and love. But the happiness we are getting, that is compared with a drop of water in the desert. Our heart desires real pleasure, transcendental bliss. We are hankering after Krishna. That is our inner desire. We are trying to get eternal happiness.

We may discover so many defending instruments or weapons, but there is no defense from the cruel hands of death. However you may be advanced in manufacturing so many nice things, you cannot manufacture anything that can save you from death, or from disease, or from old age.

By prasadam distribution you will do service to the Lord, and the public will be pleased upon you as well. Gradually increase the number of guests, and don't deny anyone. Continue in this way: whatever is there, distribute equally-it may not be very sumptuous, but no one should be denied equal portion.

If they insist on touching your feet and there is no other way to avoid, it you can simply remember your predecessor Acharyas and Spiritual Masters and accept them and return namaskara with folded hands. That is the Vaisnava etiquette.
