Imported quote 16354 So when you apply your energy in the service of Krsna, you do not think that your material energy is there. No. Just like these fruits. These fruits, one may think, "What is this prasadam? This fruit has been purchased, we also eat fruit at home, and this is prasadam?" No. Because it is offered to Krsna, immediately it is no more material. The result? You eat krsna-prasadam and see how you are making progress in Krsna consciousness. Just if the physician gives you some medicine, and if you get yourself cured, that is the effect of medicine.
(More...) Imported quote 16436 Please accept my blessings. I beg to thank you for your letter of August 14th, 1969, and I have noted the contents carefully. I am pleased to learn that you are now chanting 16 rounds daily, eating Bhagavat Prasadam, reading Bhagavad-gita, and going on Sankirtana Party. All of these things will save you, as they will save anyone who persists in Krishna Consciousness faithfully and sincerely. Actually, the presence of Maya should not surprise us because this is the kingdom of Maya. All of the uncountable living entities in the uncountable universes are generally to be found under the stringent grip of Maya's power. So the presence of Maya is not a very wonderful thing. But what is wonderful is when a sincere soul decides to turn away from the attraction of Maya and decides to serve Krishna in pure unalloyed devotional service. So this is what we should fix our attention to: serving Krishna sincerely. Then automatically the influence of Maya will become nil and we can remember our eternal loving relationship with the Supreme Lord. But as long as we are attracted by the nonsense glittering of Maya's call, this pure state of consciousness cannot be realized within the heart. So continue assisting Upendra as you are doing it now, and I am sure Krishna will help you in all respects.
