The unfailing recipe of success

If it is connected to Krishna, it is spiritual. It is not connected to Kṛṣṇa - it is material, that's all. But the form between the two is the same. That must be understood, otherwise relationships cannot be understood.

By the grace of the Lord, by the order of the Lord, by the Lord's, by the devotees' desire to please the Lord, all the good fortune will be there for all living entities. So even though they are not looking for it, the devotees will go out to them

The association of devotees is actually our most valuable possession. By that association we become fortunate, by that association we attain perfection.

If it is accepted that Kṛṣṇa made the nature, not us, then it just makes it so much easier. You figure out what you do, and then you know where your strengths are and your weaknesses are. And then others also know.

We are just being asked to do what they do in the spiritual world. For them, because of their attachment to Kṛṣṇa that particular form and situation is manifest, while for us that has come because of our conditioned mentality. But the principle is the same.
