The symptom of life is desire. As much as possible, therefore, we should increase our desire for all that is pleasing to guru and Krishna. The more we hanker for service to guru and Krishna, the more we can hope to find all the confirmations we need to achieve pure devotional service.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.7.51-52, Vrindavan, October 8, 1976

A rose flower, very fragrant. So as soon as you smell you can remember Krsna: "Oh, this smell is Krsna." Actually that is Krsna. You cannot create that smell. It is Krsna, Krsna's art. That, punyo gandhah prthivyam ca, that gandha, that smell, flavor, is within the earth. Wherefrom the rose is coming? From this earth. But still the rose is so fragrant. You cannot take out the fragrance from the earth. Everything is there. Sarva-kama-dugha-mahi [SB 1.10.4]. Everything is within the earth, but you cannot take out. It is Krsna.
