Pushing The Rock
by Krishnas Mercy on 01/03/2012 2:00AM
 “Fruitive work, in which almost all people in general are engaged, is always painful either in the beginning or at the end. It can be fruitful only when made subservient to the devotional service of the Lord. In the Bhagavad-gita also it is confirmed that the result of such fruitive work may be offered for the service of the Lord, otherwise it leads to material bondage.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.5.12 Purport)

Strength of Conviction
by Krishnas Mercy on 02/12/2011 3:00AM
 “I tell you this directly: All these monkeys will never follow you.

by Krishnas Mercy on 02/16/2011 3:00AM

Muscle Memory
by Krishnas Mercy on 05/25/2011 2:00AM
 “This institutional function of human society is known as the system of varnashrama-dharma, which is quite natural for the civilized life. The varnashrama institution is constructed to enable one to realize the Absolute Truth. It is not for artificial domination of one division over another.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.2.13 Purport)

Yoga Under Duress
by Krishnas Mercy on 12/14/2011 2:00AM
 “If one is engaged in the advancement of spiritual knowledge, there will be so many insults and much dishonor from others. This is expected because material nature is so constituted. Even a boy like Prahlada, who, only five years old, was engaged in the cultivation of spiritual knowledge, was endangered when his father became antagonistic to his devotion.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Bhagavad-gita, 13.8-12 Purport)
