Quotes Of The Day
In order to be successful in achieving prema-bhakti, devotees must have unflinching faith in the Supreme Lord. The Seventh Canto describes that even though we may be expert in all brahminical activities - we may be religious, moral, detached, humble, tolerant, prepared to offer sacrifices, and know the scriptures - if we are proud of our position and have not surrendered body, mind, and words to the Supreme Lord, we are considered lower than a person who, although born in a dog-eater family, has completely dedicated everything to Krishna's service.
Material enjoyment means eating, sleeping, mating and defending. You can make these four principles in different varieties or different grades, but these are the principles of material enjoyment. A dog is eating; you are also eating. So you’re eating and dog's eating, difference is that a dog can eat even stool, but you cannot. You have to arrange for palatable dishes just befitting human consumption. So there are different kinds of eating, but the eating principle is there, that's all. One is satisfied with stool-eating, and one is satisfied by eating krsna-prasadam. That is the difference. And between the stool and krsna-prasadam, there are many varieties and grades, according to different kinds of bodies.
