This is the concluding part of the transcription of the powerful speech by our beloved Guru maharaj on Srimad Bhagavatam verse 1.1.14

"Living beings who are entangled

So unnecessarily, so-called education will not help. Let them become Krsna conscious. That is the duty of the government. Just like we are not speaking on the slogan, "In God We Trust." Is that that slogan, "In God We Trust"? So this is a slogan, but it is the duty of the government, that "We are using this slogan, but actually what we are doing about people's education that they may know what is God and then trust?" But everyone is godless. And still, as a matter of fashion, we are writing, "In

HARE KRISHNA

If you want to taste the bliss, you must dovetail your consciousness with the supreme person, who is the source of everything. It is absolutely impossible that you will ever find permanent happiness if you are not connected with Him. So why waste time looking for happiness in this material world through so many millions of varieties of avenues, which are nothing but dead end streets because they do not connect to Krishna? The smart thing to do is to immediately come to the plane of t

HARE KRISHNA

Lord Caitanya has taught us:
jīvera 'svarūpa' haya—kṛṣṇera 'nitya-dāsa' kṛṣṇera 'taṭasthā-śakti' 'bhedābheda-prakāśa
"It is the living entity's constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Krishna because he is the tatastha-shakti (marginal energy) of Krishna and a manifestation simultaneously one and different from the Lord." --Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya 20.108
So it is not that we fell from the tatastha shakti. We ARE tatastha shakti or marginal energy. This is part of

People do not know that they can become immortal. Immortal we are, but we have been embodied in this material body. Therefore we have to accept mortality, birth and death. This is the beginning of spiritual life. Spiritual life means how to become immortal. They come to ask me, "Sir, do you know some spiritual magic?" All for material benefit. For them spiritualist means something magic so that you can get some material

One has to be intelligent to understand real happiness; one who cannot, seeks happiness in this material world. A man did not know what sugarcane was and was told that it was very sweet to chew. "Oh, what does it look like?" he asked. "It looks just like a bamboo rod," someone said. So the foolish man began to chew all kinds of bamboo rods. How can he experience the sweetness? Similarly, we are trying to get happiness an

So knowledge means without any mistake. Anything without any mistake, that is perpetually right. And anything based on mistaken idea, that will change. You have to correct the mistake. The so-called modern scientists, they are simply correcting their mistake. Therefore they have no real knowledge. Nobody can have real knowledge, because we are imperfect. Our senses are imperfect. That is our defect in the conditioned life. We have got four defects: we commit mistake, we become illusioned, our se
