So long we are stout and strong and we can work very nicely, the health is quite all right, take advantage of it. It is not Krsna consciousness movement is for the lazy fellow.

After the exit [of two Catholic priests who had come to meet Srila Prabhupada] Jayadvaita Prabhu commented to Srila Prabhupada that the priests liked to be in the role of his disciples.

Before taking rest after his night-time massage, Prabhupada asked Srutakirti, "How long does it take to read one verse and purport of my books, and understand it?" Srutakirti replied, "I suppose about thirty minutes."

We are all set of puppets of Krsna. I am also puppet. This is disciplic succession. We have to become puppet. As I am puppet of my Guru Maharaja, if you become my puppet, then that is success.

Prabhupada: If you want to remain unhappy by your whims, then God cannot help you. But you have got the independence. Hrdayananda: So Prabhupada, if some people say, "Well, I have no free will," that means that they are actually lazy.
