Krishna is our only friend

Real bonds between two spirit souls exist on the spiritual platform, exist in our relationship in devotional service. Maitry – eternal friendship. One of the qualities of the Vaishnavas – 26 qualities are mentioned, and one is maitry, friendship. And this kind of friendship is not the same as mundane friendship. Prabhupada said that: "Actually", he said, "our only friend is Krishna." And he said, that: "Anyone in this world is only our friend, to the extend, that he gives us Krishna."
Otherwise there is no friendship.

So we don't think like that, we don't think like that at all, we think :"Oh well, he's my friend, he's my friend - my friends!" Spacebook friends, many, many friends. Friends everywhere, all over the place. How many friends we have! But then Prabhupada just cut right through it, right through the material relationship and said: "Our only friends, are those, that give us Krishna."

True that I didnt Shave too!! ;)

We have to endeavour again and again

One has to say no. No! - to the lower nature and:
Yes! - to spiritual activity.
Every time - again. Never is there a time when we've done it, when we are successful.
"Now I've done it, now I've conquered my lower nature. Now I've conquered the material energy."
No! Again and again one has to conquer. Again and again.
And as soon as we stop, the material energy takes over again.

Just like the jungle: The plants, they just take over and you have to cut and to trim again and again, and they then grow back.

Or like the beard, or like the hair, every time again you have to shave – didn't shave this morning... It just never stops. It never stops. It keeps on growing'
"It's too much, this shaving."
Again and again - that's the nature of spiritual life!

"Realization means you should write, every one of you, what is your realization. .. You write your realization, what you have realized about Krishna. That is required. It is not passive. Always you should be active. Whenever you find time, you write. Never mind, two lines, four lines, but you write your realization. Sravanam kirtanam, writing or offering prayers, glories. This is one of the function of the Vaishnava. You are hearing, but you have to write also. Then write means smaranam, remembering what you have heard from your spiritual master, from the scripture."

(Srila Prabhupada, Los Angeles, August 14th, 1972)
