The living entity's state is exactly like a criminal whom a king punishes by submerging him in water and then raising him again from the water

"Forgetting Krsna, the living entity has been attracted by the external feature from time immemorial. Therefore the illusory energy [maya] gives him all kinds of misery in his material existence. In the material condition, the living entity is sometimes raised to higher planetary systems and material prosperity and sometimes drowned in a hellish situation. His state is exactly like that of a criminal whom a king punishes by submerging him in water and then raising him again from the water."

 (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu - Sri Caitanya caritamrta, Madhya-lila 20.117-118)

The singing and chanting of the holy name of a pure devotee will be effective and attractive than a professional singers with musical instruments

From Srila Prabhupada: "There are many professional chanters who can perform congregational chanting with various musical instruments in an artistic and musical way, but their chanting cannot be as attractive as the congregational chanting of pure devotees. If a devotee sticks strictly to the principles governing Vaishnava behavior, his bodily luster will naturally be attractive, and his singing and chanting of the holy name of the Lord will be effective." -Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila, 11.95, purport.

Thought-a-Week - from friends at Krishna.com

Thought-a-Week

 

The essence of sadhana bhakti is to carefully consider and follow the path displayed by the previous and the present mahajanas (great personalities). One should not neglect the practice of remembering the pastimes of the Lord, for devotional service should be performed with the mind as well as the body. 


--Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura
