One who loves Krishna will give Him whatever He wants, and he avoids offering anything which is undesirable or unasked for. Thus, meat, fish, and eggs should not be offered to Krishna...Vegetables, grains, fruits, milk, and water are the proper foods for human beings and are prescribed by Lord Krishna Himself. Whatever else you eat, cannot be offered to Him, since He will not accept it.
The auspiciousness of any situation is how it brings us closer to Krishna.
When anarthas will be removed due to chanting the Holy Name, then Krishna’s form, qualities and pastimes will automatically manifest from the name. There is no need to make an endeavor to artificially remember His form, qualities and pastimes.
He who is constantly absorbed in discussing about Sri Hari is a saint. One who is constantly engaged in serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a saint. One who in all his endeavors tries to serve Krishna is a saint.
I am like a bee, intoxicated by the nectar of Krishna’s love; I cannot bear to be separated from Him.
Two things are required to achieve Krishna’s mercy: the intervention of a devotee and our own sincerity.
Krishna is my refuge, my shelter, my everything. In His arms, I find peace and contentment.
To love Krishna, we must love everything that Krishna loves – to the same degree as we love Krishna.
There is no big or small service by external considerations. Big and small are seen by Krishna only in reference to the content of our sincerity and the purity of our love.
If we do something, we should do it for the right reason, for the service of Krishna. If we do it in the service of Krishna, we can’t go wrong.
The holy name of Krishna has extraordinary spiritual potency because the name of God is nondifferent from God Himself.

Krishna was conceived in the womb of Devaki mysteriously as the sun setting in the West imparts his rays to the rising moon in the East.
Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. "We are deluded and maddened by books", Shri Krishna declares.
Gold and silver hold no value for me; my only treasure is the name of Krishna.
When I sing, I sing only of Krishna; when I dance, I dance only for Him.
In spiritual life, one must conduct one's whole life under the guidance of the guru. Only one who executes his spiritual life under the direction of the spiritual master can achieve the mercy of Krishna.
My love for Krishna is unending; it is a flame that burns forever.
The worst tragedy is that the uncontrolled mind steals our consciousness away from Krishna and that is the beginning, the essence of all suffering.
Great souls are merciful. Srila Prabhupada was pleased with the little things that someone did, even if that person had all bad qualities. His being pleased was his mercy, because he knew that if he was not pleased, Krishna will not be pleased and if Krishna was not pleased there was no hope for that person’s spiritual advancement.
Our main disease is to collect objects that are not related to Krishna.
Lord Krishna... proclaims Self-realization, true wisdom, as the highest branch of all human knowledge-the king of all sciences, the very essence of dharma ("religion")-for it alone permanently uproots the cause of man's threefold suffering and reveals to him his true nature of Bliss. Self-realization is yoga or "oneness" with truth-the direct perception or experience of truth by the all-knowing intuitive faculty of the soul.
Real tolerance is not just tolerating for the sake of tolerating. It's tolerating difficulties in order to give pleasure to Krishna and to serve others.
