Wednesday, December 16th through Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: Sometimes it is thought that spiritual life means to retire from active life. That is general impression. People think that for cultivation of spiritual knowledge or self-realization they should go to some Himalayan caves or some secluded place. That is also recommended. But that sort of recommendation is meant for persons who are unable to engage themselves in activities of Krsna consciousness. Lord Krsna is teaching Arjuna how one can remain in his position. Never mind whatever he is, still he can become perfectly in Krsna consciousness. That is the whole substance of the teachings of Lord Krsna.-- "Philosophy And Religion Combined," 12/20/68, Los Angeles, Bhagavad-gita 3.1-5 | | | | | | Get Involved in Book Distribution Now is the time of the annual December Prabhupada Book Marathon.
