You should, therefore, at a certain age, according to Vedic civilization, one is forced to give up this attachment. Naturally, one is attached to wife, children, home.

Duties of a householder Vaisnava

"A Vaisnava householder should always live according to the prescribed
duties; graciously hosting guests to their full satisfaction. His
spiritual discipline will not be  impaired by his living or
associating with his wife. Nor is it forbidden for him to use mustard
oil or other perfumed oil. Foods like milk, curd, etc., which are
considered by ritualistic brahmanas to be inedible and non-vegetarian,
become wholesome vegetarian food for the yukta-vairagi.

Aindra Prabhu's Quote

" If we don't have complete faith in the congregational chanting of the Holy
Name, if we have very little taste and attraction for chanting and dancing
and thereby relatively disinterested or diverted to other engagements,
leaving ourselves little of any time to seriously TAKE UP THE RELIGION OF
THE AGE, if we didn't recognize the beauty and value of
hari-nama-sankirtana, and if we are not intent upon practically helping to
push foreward the most sublime dharma emphatically prescribed by Lord
Caitanya,

Everything has beginning and everything has an end. Every tree begins with a seed and will eventually transform back into earth. In our modern world, this means that every car, every machine, every piece of clothing is created and all will wear out and crumble; it’s only a matter of time. Our bodies are born and they will die. A glass is created and will eventually break. All of life is in a constant state of change.

When you expect something to break, you’re not surprised or disappointed when it

He loses the capacity.



When one deviates from his original consciousness, he loses the capacity to remember his previous position or recognize his present one. When remembrance is lost, all knowledge acquired is based on a false foundation. When this occurs, learned scholars consider that the soul is lost.

 

PURPORT

Our original consciousness is Krsna consciousness because we are part and parcel of Krsna. When this consciousness is misguided and one is put into the material atmosphere, which pollutes the original conscio

A well-known speaker started off his public speech in a strange manner – by holding up a Rupee 1000 Note! Holding up the Note high in the air in one of his hands, he addressed the curious audience, "Who would like this Rupee 1000 Note?"
    
With great cheers almost all of them raised their hands with the shout, "I want it", "I want it”!! He said, "Oh! That’s nice. Well, I am going to give this Note to one of you... But, first let me do this." Then, he crumpled the Note in his hands vigorously & n
