Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Overcoming Adversity, p. 165

Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita, su-sukham kartum avyayam: this process is everlasting and joyfully performed. We can therefore experience happiness in the midst of suffering. When devotees see their suffering in connection with Krishna, they are joyful because they understand that their suffering helps them come closer to Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 1.31, London, July 24, 1973

Arjuna is talking of the ultimate good. But he is talking ultimate good with the point of view from material conception. He does not know... He knows, but he is playing the part of a person who does not know that ultimate sreya, ultimate good, is Krsna. Ultimate good is not that "We live with family - that is good." No. When you live with family because you cannot renounce, so that is allowed. But you live with family with Krsna.
