Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Qualities of a Devotee

A Vaisnava is never envious of other devotees who receive the Lord's mercy. Instead, they become ecstatic and chant, "Haribol!" Ecstatic tears come to their eyes because they experience bliss in seeing Krishna working in the lives of His devotees.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 13.22-24, Melbourne, June 25, 1974

Krsna orders prakrti, the material nature, that "He wants to enjoy in this way; you give him a suitable body like that." "He wants to enjoy by becoming a tiger: 'Immediately I shall jump over an animal.' " Because nunam mahatam tatra, the weak is the food for the strong. So sometimes we think that we shall be strong like tiger or lion. Krsna is sitting within you. He says, "All right, you become a tiger." He sees that "To become a tiger is my success life," a very strong body. They are exercising, very strong, to become very strong, stout. So Krsna will give you, whatever you want - but in this material world. In the spiritual world you cannot become a competitor of Krsna. That is not possible. In this material world you can become a false competitor of Krsna. Your position is false. Because you are not this body, but you wanted a body like that to enjoy.
