Bits & Pieces

When faults in others misguide and delude you have patience, introspect, find faults in yourself. Know that others cannot harm you unless you harm yourself.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura,
discourse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, 1935

The church that has the best chance of survival in this damned world is that of atheism under the convenient guise of theism. The churches have always proved the staunchest upholders of the grossest forms of worldliness.
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur (The Harmonist Vol. XXIX No 7 1932)

It is written my house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.
Jesus (Luke 19:16)

There are many societies and associations of pure devotees, and if someone with just a little faith begins to associate with such societies, his advancement to pure devotional service is rapid.
A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj - NOD, Ch 19 p.14
