“God wants us to speak to men so that they will feel it, so that they will never forget it.

Unless one approaches a pure devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”

Isn't it wonderful how the sky can take that dirty water and change it into pure, clean water? Your mind can do the same with your defilements if you let it.”
