Real religion means "God is there; I am there. God is great; I am subordinate. I must abide by the laws of God." This is religion…

Real religion means to revive our consciousness — we say "Krsna consciousness," or God consciousness — by which we agree to abide by the laws of God…

First-class religion: "which teaches us how to surrender to God and love Him."

(From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1.2 — February 23, 1975, Caracas)
