Quotes Of The Day
Niranjana Swami
Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Overcoming Adversity, p. 183
Certainly, it is a devotee's nature to be forgiving, but the Lord places the power to forgive in the devotees' hearts by placing Himself in their hearts. He thus becomes completely dependent on their desires and decisions. This is His svabhava.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 5.3-7, New York 24 August, 1966
Nitya-sannyasi: "That person is always in renounced order, not by dress, but by action. Always in renounced order," yo na dvesti na kanksati, "that person who does not hate, neither desires." Nitya-sannyasi. The renounced order means that I renounce my material propensities. That is called renunciation. A living entity is living. He has got his different propensities. That is his natural position. If I say that "You don't desire," no, that is not possible. I cannot desire, I don't desire... If I am desireless, then I am dead. What is my life? Desire... Somebody says that "You become desireless." That is an impossible, sir. Desireless means don't desire materially. That is desireless.
