What are the symptoms of those who are not envious of Krsna? The symptoms of those who are non-envious of Krsna are their minds, thoughts, words, activities... Everything is always absorbed in Krsna.

Niranjana Swami's Quote Of The Day

A devotee is somebody who says, “I don’t want anything from You. I want to be with You and to serve You because of who You are, not because of what You have or what I can get from You.”

An intelligent person who understands the root cause of suffering in this world tries to cure the diseases at the root. Srila Prabhupada used to give the example that if the physical body is afflicted by an infection or boil, one can blow on the boil to try to temporarily mitigate the pain. But an expert physician knows that rather than to treat the symptom, one should go to the source of the problem. Therefore, he understands that there is a need to purify the blood.

One who knows what pure devotional service is and how the glorification of pure devotional service can serve the needs of everyone, should not be neglectful, and therefore touched by the offense of not removing the scarcity of pure devotional service.

There is a verse ‘golokera prema dana harinama sankirtana’ which means that the Hare Krsna mantra is imported from the spiritual world. It’s not a sound vibration of this world. The sound vibrations of this world are simply names of different forms of this world and the name is different from the substance.

Fear comes because we don’t know what lies in the future. But for one who is situated in transcendental consciousness or, as explained in Bhagavad-Gita, one who is not connected to the Supreme can have neither transcendental intelligence nor controlled mind without which can be no peace. How can there be happiness without peace!

If we are not aspiring for Krsna’s lotus feet, we’ll find many other topics to hear about. But those who are aspiring for Krsna’s lotus feet will see that these topics will gradually bring us to Krsna’s lotus feet.

We should be very eager to obtain the darshan of the Lord. Not that we should be so eager to see Him, but we should open up and purify our hearts in such a way that He becomes very eager to see us. He will come and very kindly distribute that mercy to everyone who opens their hearts in sincere prayer and chanting the holy names of the Lord. We should pray to serve the Lord and to please Him. Not only by getting the opportunity to taste the sweet name, but eagerly being given the opportunity to distribute it for the welfare of everyone. This is real service to the holy name.
