Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"So those who are ordinarily sinful, they can at least see the light once, but those who are very severely sinful, they're killed within the womb. They cannot see even the light coming out. There are so many cases now, it is very... That so many children, before coming out of the womb of the mother and before seeing the light of the sun, they are killed. And after killing, after being killed, the body is finished. Then he has to be put another body. Then enters another mother's body. Again the body is developed, and again he is killed. Just imagine." |

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"Bhakti kaile sarva-karma kṛta haya (CC Madhya 22.62). We must be always convinced that if we simply take up the knowledge given by Kṛṣṇa, then you are perfect. That's all. If little success is there for me than other svāmīs and yogīs, it is due to my conviction on this point. I never compromised with anything which is not spoken by Kṛṣṇa." |

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"It is said in the Bhagavad-gītā, ya imaṁ paramaṁ guhyaṁ mad-bhakteṣv abhidhāsyati (BG 18.68): 'Anyone who is engaged in preaching this confidential science of Bhagavad-gītā', na ca tasmān manuṣyeṣu kaścid me priya-kṛttamaḥ (BG 18.69), 'nobody is dearer to Me than he is'. If you want very quickly recognition by Kṛṣṇa, go on preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Even it is imperfectly done, but because you are sincere in your capa..., whatever capacity you have got, if you preach, then Kṛṣṇa will be very much pleased." |
