We are … neither renouncer nor enjoyer; we are simply servitor of Krishna. Please follow this principle and you will never be disturbed in any frightened condition offered by the maya. … Chant Hare Krishna regularly and see the pictures of Lord Chaitanya and Krishna and you will be happy.

Krishna is like the sun and maya is just like darkness. Where Krishna is present there cannot be any darkness of maya.

All devotees are more or less poets. Out of 26 qualifications of a perfect devotee, one is poetic sense. So we can write so many poetries in praise of the Lord, or about His pastimes. Similarly we can draw so many nice pictures about His different activities, and such engagements will give us chance to elevate ourselves to the perfectional platform of spiritual understanding.

Krishna is not ungrateful but rather He sees all our efforts and appreciates our sincere service. Krishna is interested in how we engage our energies in His service. We are very small, very insignificant, so what can we do? Simply He wants to see that we are engaging our time and energy in His service. And you always remember to abide by the laws of Krishna as described by His bona fide Representative, and the passage of going back to Godhead is assured. This is Krishna's Mercy.

Krishna can adjust opposing elements. In the material world, yes and no are two opposing elements, but by Krishna's inconceivable power, yes can be no, and no can be yes. That is the law of Krishna…. So we should not be afraid of any condition. Narayana para sarve na kutascana Vivyati - that means, those who are in Krishna Consciousness, are not afraid of anything. Either they are in hell, or heaven, for them, they are all equal. They do not make any distinction in the material world; this is good, or this is bad, this is hell, or this is heaven.

Hatha yoga received in the Bhagavad-gita is very difficult in this age. Yoga system is approved, but nobody can follow the rules and regulations strictly, neither there is suitable place for executing it, and everyone is always full of anxiety, so how they can concentrate?

So best thing is to chant Hare Krishna which is forced meditation. The topmost yogi is he who surrenders to Krishna, and worships Krishna with all thoughts, activities, and intelligence.
