A person who has fallen into this terrible world never ceases to suffer. If
you associate with sadhus and serve Hari, however, your suffering comes to
an end.

A fallen soul burns in the ever-increasing fire of mundanity. Avoiding
offences, chant Krsna's Name. This pours water on the fire.

Kali Das says, "Anyone who has taken shelter of Nitai and Chaitanya's lotus
feet is my shelter, in life and in death."
'Who can stop the one who has got mercy of Krishna? I did not personally
serve my mother, but Krishna served her. Gurudev told me, 'If you serve
Vaishnavs, Krishna will come and serve you,' and I believe it 200%. If you
want relief from birth, death, disease, and old age problems, you must
practise Krishna consciousness properly.'
