Quotes Of The Day

Niranjana Swami
Taking Care of Krishna’s Devotees, p. 82

A leader who can help others is somebody who can always see the good in others because if you can’t see the good in others, how can you help them? What can you do to help somebody? If one is a preacher, then he has to think, “If somebody needs to develop good qualities and I am a preacher, then I am partially responsible if that person doesn’t have them. How is he going to improve unless he has the association of somebody who can help him and who cares about him?

Srila Prabhupada
The Tenth Morning Walk, Cheviot Hills Park, Los Angeles, May 14, 1973

Once you were a child. Now you are a grown man. Where is your childhood body? That body does not exist, but you still exist because you are eternal. The circumstantial body has changed, but you have not changed. This is the proof of eternality. You remember that you did certain things yesterday and certain things today, but you forget other things. Your body of yesterday is not today's body. Do you admit it or not? You cannot say that today is the thirteenth of May, 1973. You cannot say that today is yesterday. The thirteenth was yesterday. The day has changed. But you remember yesterday; and that remembrance is evidence of your eternality. The body has changed, but you remember it; therefore you are eternal, although the body is temporary. This proof is very simple.
