Who is the witness ?

Posted by 1eq5yhjuyxg2w on July 3, 2018 at 11:57pm in Preaching

pamho, hare krishna,

I read the following messages today:

1.  Displayed outside a Church:  St. John:  A counter witness to fake news.

2.  Life is rare, live with care.

Can someone quote from BG, SB, or CC that is meaning the same as above message.

Thanks in advance.

    hare krishna 

    i didn't understand the first statement, what is the context. 

    second statement there is verse in SB : 

    SB 7.6.1

    śrī-prahrāda uvāca
    kaumāra ācaret prājño
     dharmān bhāgavatān iha
    durlabhaṁ mānuṣaṁ janma
     tad apy adhruvam arthadam
    Synonyms: 
    śrī-prahrādaḥ uvāca — Prahlāda Mahārāja said; kaumāraḥ — in the tender age of childhood; ācaret — should practice; prājñaḥ — one who is intelligent; dharmān — occupational duties; bhāgavatān — which are devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead; iha — in this life; durlabham — very rarely obtained; mānuṣam — human; janma — birth; tat — that; api — even; adhruvam — impermanent, temporary; artha-dam — full of meaning.
    Translation: 
    Prahlāda Mahārāja said: One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from the very beginning of life — in other words, from the tender age of childhood — to practice the activities of devotional service, giving up all other engagements. The human body is most rarely achieved, and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection.
