"Prabhupada, what is the difference between the mind and the intelligence?" [Srila Prabhupada replied] "When you look down from a tall building and your mind says jump, your intelligence says don't."

Someone once asked Srila Prabhupada a challenging question. "Can Krishna make a rock so heavy that He can't pick it up?" "Yes." "Then he is not all-powerful." Prabhupada answered, "Then He will pick it up."

You cannot understand how it has happened. How it has happened, this is the miracle. Just like when I went to America, I was thinking that "Who will hear me? As soon as I will say that ‘You cannot eat meat, you cannot have illicit sex, you cannot have any intoxication up to smoking and you cannot indulge in gambling,' the next day they will say ‘Please go home.' "

(including playing football) TEXT Sometimes Krsna and Balarama would play on Their flutes, sometimes They would throw ropes and stones devised for getting fruits from the trees, sometimes They would throw only stones, and sometimes, Their ankle bells tinkling, They would play football with fruits like bael and amalaki.

A disciple asked, "Is there one special day of the week that is holy like Sunday?" Prabhupada replied, "Every day with Krsna is a holy day."

A challenging question: "If you say you have full knowledge, then how many windows are in the Empire State Building?" Prabhupada challenged back, "How many drops of water are in a mirage?"

Srila Prabhupada said: Similarly, when you remain fully surrendered to the supreme will, either in distress or in happiness, that is your happiness. That is real happiness. This condition cannot be without love. In any condition, you remain surrendered. It cannot be done without love.

(For the upcoming Radha Govinda Jhulana Yatra and Srila Rupa Gosvami's Disappearance Anniversary) Rupa Gosvami has written the following verse: "My dear friend, if you still have any desire to enjoy the company of your friends within this material world, then don't look upon the form of Krsna, who is standing on the bank of Kesi-ghata [a bathing place in Vrndavana].

Politics are always there, and enviousness, jealousy. This is the nature of this material world. You cannot avoid it. Spiritual world means just the opposite. There is no politics. There is no jealousy. There is no enviousness. That is spiritual world. And material world means politics, jealousy, diplomacy, enviousness, so many things.

We should learn how to do good to the people in general. They have forgotten their relationship with God. You should be sympathetic for them. That they're suffering on account of their forgetfulness of God, let us do some service to them. Awaken them. Awaken their Krsna consciousness. That is Krsna consciousness movement.

Sent to BVKS Sanga by Gokula Candra Prabhu:- There is a saying, gopayet matr-jara-vat: "One should keep prema hidden, as one would conceal that one's mother has a paramour."

One time I heard you [Srila Prabhupada] say -- it was as if you were issuing a challenge -- "Where is the proof that you love Krsna? If you love Krsna, you will follow his orders!"
