Krsna is subtle. He resides in immaculate silence. We may not always feel His grace, but He directs every whirlwind. Love stirs the breeze even when we only feel pain. If we're open to learning and to the progression of our soul, He'll reveal His transcendental purpose and the sweetness of His love.
“If we understand the underlying cause of what we think of as bad in someone, instead of being hateful, we will be compassionate. For is not every soul inherently good? A saintly person will hate the disease but love the diseased.”
-- HH Radhanath Swami, "A Journey Home"
“Everything in the spiritual world is substantial and original. This material world is only an imitation.... It is just like a cinematographic picture, in which we see only the shadow of the real thing.”
-- Srila Prabhupada, October 1966
"In this Age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Krishna mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krishna. Simply by chanting the holy name, one associates with the Lord directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered."
-- Lord Caitanya
"The Hare Krishna Maha mantra is also a prayer, for a prayer addresses the Supreme Personality of Godhead by His name and invokes good fortune by petitioning the Lord to allow one to engage in His devotional service."
-- Srila Prabhupada
