Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Chanting Purely
Don't think that just because you are chanting the holy name, you will automatically be able to distribute a lot of books. Book distribution can become an external activity if we are not careful. Certainly, it is purifying to distribute books, but it can also become external if we lose our sense of dependence on Krishna and are thinking more of the results than the service itself.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.3.20-21, Los Angeles, June 17, 1972
They do not know what is God, because they have not heard about God, how powerful He is, how brave activities He does. Just like Krsna. Krsna, when He was seven years old, He lifted a great hill, Govardhana Hill. Giridhari. And He kept it on His finger for seven days. That is God. Krsna, when He was householder, He married sixteen thousand wives. And who can maintain sixteen thousand wives? One cannot maintain even one wife. This is called urukrama. Great activities. Not that Krsna remained one, and He had sixteen thousand wives. No. He also expanded Himself into sixteen thousand forms so that no wife may be displeased. If I am one, and if I have got many wives, so everyone will be displeased. He provided sixteen thousand palaces, and in each palace, there were many thousands of servants and maidservant, and each wife was blessed with ten sons. This is called urukrama, great activities.
