from  KRSNA THE RESERVOIR OF PLEASURE
“All of us, every living being seeks pleasure. But we do not know how to seek pleasure perfectly. With a materialistic concept of life, we are frustrated at every step in satisfying our pleasure because we have no information regarding the real level on which to have real pleasure But in the transcendental, absolute world there is no difference between Krsna’s name, Krsna’s quality, Krsna’s word—everything is Krsna and provides the highest satisfaction.”
from  WHO IS CRAZY?
“The peace for which you are hankering in life after life, moment after moment—that you’ll get at that time when your desires are purified and dovetailed with the Lord’s. One who desires sense gratification, the enjoyment of material satisfaction, will never be happy. That is not possible. If you want peace, if you want happiness, if you want perfection in your life, then just begin to dovetail your desires, activities and potential with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then you will see what real happiness is and will be able to tell who is really crazy.”
from  INTRODUCTION TO THE BHAGAVAD-GITA AS IT IS
“ Bhagavad-gita  gives us the opportunity to leave this material world and go to that eternal existence in the eternal abode of the Lord . . . Krsna advises Arjuna not simply to go on remembering Him and give up his material duty. The Lord never suggests anything impractical. To maintain the material body one has to work. The Lord advises us not to give up work, but to remember Him always, along with the struggle for existence. This is Krsna consciousness. Unless one does this, it is not possible to go to the Lord.”
