Quotes of Srila Prabhupada.
A fish, when it is put into the land, it is unhappy, or death.
Similarly, if you, the creature of the land, if you are put into the water,
you are unhappy, and death. So because we belong to the spiritual nature,
so long as we shall remain in the material nature, we must be unhappy. - Vrindavan, August 2, 1974.

Bombay
Letter to Jagadisa,
"Please see that the highest standards are maintained in all the Temples in your jurisdiction as well as your own. We are now attracting the attention of the public in general and very influential persons as well. So our program if it is kept pure according to my many instructions, will give you the deserved reputation of being the topmost members of the society. That is very much wanted so that we may hope to change the society as a whole."

Letter to Brhaspati das
"Just like you add hydrogen and oxygen and get water. So let them chant and learn Bhagavad-gita and they will get Krishna's mercy. I am successful in my teaching work because I have not deviated one inch from my Spiritual Master's instruction, this is my only qualification. So if you simply remain pure, your preaching will have effect."

Letter to Rayarama,
"KC is based on pure understanding, not by any sentimental provocation. People must be intelligent enough to catch up this KC movement without being carried away by any sentimental wave. We should always remember that we do not belong to any group like the karmis, jnanis, or yogis. We belong to pure devotional service group, following the footprints of great mahajanas. Our purpose should be that we are in one side and all others they are on the other side. We deprecate everyone, even one who is against animal slaughter."
