- Sometimes by association of the great, one appears great. In the sun is great heat and light, and by reflecting the greatness of the sun’s light, the moon in dead of night also appears great. Actually the moon is by nature dark and cold, but in association with sun it has become accepted as great.

- You cannot see spirit, and God is the Supreme Spirit. Actually, He is everything-spirit and matter-but you cannot see Him in His spiritual identity. Therefore, to show kindness toward you, He appears out of His unbounded mercy in the form of a wooden or stone Deity so that you can see Him.

- If you send the typewriter to heaven, it is to be worked as typewriter. Either in this hell or heaven, typewriters will kat, kat, kat, kat. Similarly, our position is servant.

- 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.

- Crying is a great transcendental pleasure. That they cannot understand the poor fund of knowledge; Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was simply crying. That is love. So that they do not understand, how crying can be pleasure. That is Mayavada.

- 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, 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 Laxmimoni, July 10, 1969.
