divine consciousness

“A person in the divine consciousness, although engaged in seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving about, sleeping, and breathing, always knows within himself that he actually does nothing at all. Because while speaking, evacuating, receiving, opening or closing his eyes, he always knows that only the material senses are engaged with their objects and that he is aloof from them.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-gita, 5.8-9)

One should not give up anything which can be utilized in the service of the Lord. That is a secret of devotional service. Anything that can be utilized in advancing Krishna consciousness and devotional service should be accepted. For instance, we are using many machines for the advancement of our present Krishna consciousness movement, machines like typewriters, dictating machines, tape recorders, microphones and airplanes.


Sometimes people ask us, “Why are you utilizing material products if you condemn the advancement of material civilization?” But actually we do not condemn. We simply ask people to do whatever they are doing in Krishna consciousness. This is the same principle on which, in Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna advised Arjuna to utilize his fighting abilities in devotional service.

Similarly, we are utilizing these machines for Krishna’s service. With such sentiment for Krishna, or Krishna consciousness, we can accept everything. If the typewriter can be utilized for advancing our Krishna consciousness movement, we must accept it. Similarly, the dictating machine or any other machine must be used. Our vision is that Krishna is everything. Krishna is the cause and effect, and nothing belongs to us. Krishna’s things must be used in the service of Krishna. That is our vision.”

(His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 14)

Fully Krishna Conscious

"What is the value of a prolonged life which is wasted, inexperienced
by years in this world? Better a moment of full consciousness,
because that gives one a start in searching after his
supreme interest."

(Srila Sukadeva Gosvami - Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.1.12)

Sacrifice

"If one is unhappy to see the distress of other living beings and
happy to see their happiness, his religious principles are appreciated
as imperishable by exalted persons who are considered pious and
benevolent."

(Sri Dadhici Muni - Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.10.9)

krishna creates universe

As a player sets up and disperses his playthings according to his own sweet will, so the supreme will of the Lord brings men together and separates them.

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 1 Chapter 13 Verse 43

Now we know why we come together and then separate.
