Material world
Do not make your residence in this temporary material world.
Do not make your residence in this temporary material world.
The Lord provides everyone with his quota.
Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.19,
Srila Prabhupada
In the transcendental loving service of the Lord, it does not matter whether we are working, Cooking, Painting, Writing, Chanting, or whatever; they are all the same. There are no such distinctions of higher and lower on the transcendental platform. The important thing is that we are engaging our time and energy in the service of the Lord. After all, we are so tiny, what can we do? Krishna sees simply that this time is being spent in His Service.
— Letter to Kiranamayi, 25th Feb, 1968.
The Lord’s gentleness, His smile, His character and everything related to Him are all transcendental.
Shrimad Bhagavatam 3.3.20,
Srila Prabhupada
Consciousness is originally pure, like water. But if we mix water with a certain color, it changes. Similarly, consciousness is pure, for the spirit soul is pure. But consciousness is changed according to the association of the material qualities.
Bhagavad-gita 15.9,
Srila Prabhupada
One’s desires can become fully satisfied when one sees the beauty of the Lord.
Srimad Bhagavatam 4.24.45-46,
