1. This life is a flash

    Please regularly chant Hare Krsna and read Srimad-Bhagavatam, and very soon you will get other books also, like Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, and always read and talk about Krsna between yourselves, and always remember that this life is but a flash only. We have to seek after our eternal life in Krsna consciousness and be transferred to the spiritual world in the association of Krsna. Continue to keep your present attitude and certainly even within this life, you will be successful in attaining perfection of Krsna consciousness.

    From Srila Prabhupada's letter to Dayananda, July 7, 1968
