It is to be understood that the conditioned soul is tightly tied by the ropes of illusion. A man bound by the hands and feet cannot free himself -- he must be helped by a person who is unbound.

By Her Grace Malati Devi Dasi

Devotees when they start criticizing each other they start losing interest in mangala arati, then they start losing interest in Bhagavatam, then they start losing interest in chanting and one day they just go out of the door. Finish. This is how our thinking has a very bad effect. Bad thinking will give a very bad face like chimpanzee. Nobody likes to have a face of a chimpanzee. Enough of chimpanzee face, now we should have a nice innocent face. - Mahavishnu Goswami
