Nature is so perfect that simply give you a beautiful woman(for woman it is handsome man), and you are all prisoners

Nature is so perfectly designed like a prisonhouse!

You cannot stop the sex unless you are fully in Krsna consciousness. It is
not possible.And that is the material bondage. In the material prisonhouse
they have got so many means-big, big walls, handcuff, chain -- but nature is
so perfect that simply give you a beautiful woman, and you are all prisoner.
Big wall, handcuff and chain -- everything is complete

Don't bother for the poor, just be Krsna conscious

Posted by dinesh

From: "bhakti.vikasa.swami"

If you become sinful, there will be restriction of supply by laws of nature.

How is that? Just say you become diseased. The doctor will say, "Don't take
food." That is grace. When there is restriction of food supply by nature's
law, that is God's grace. Because God is good. He is starving you for your
welfare. Just like mother, when child is ill mother does not give food, and
other child is giving sufficiently. The one child may say who is diseased,
"Mother, you are not giving me cakes. Why you are giving to my brother?"
That is mother's consideration. You should not bother. That is mother's
decision that "This boy, this child, is diseased. If I give him food he will
die." See? Similarly, don't bother yourself that the poor man is suffering
or the rich man is enjoying. You simply take concern how to increase your
Krsna consciousness. That is real welfare work. God is taking care who is
supplying food to the animals, beasts, birds, so He will take care. And that
is law. No beast, no bird is dying out of starvation. Simply we are
mismanaging things. We are disobeying the laws of nature; therefore we are
in trouble, so-called civilized human society.

Social involvement

via KKS Blog by hina on 1/23/13

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2 January 2013, Durban, South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 12.8.46)

It is an art to have to deal with others. For me too! I could be very peacefully chanting Hare Krsna, doing a little worship, lots of nice kirtans and leave it at that. But then, there are these people that have marriage problems, or devotees that fall down or devotees that want to have a sex change, and you think, 'But wasn't the philosophy that we are not the body!?'

So, the amount of complications that we have to get into by social involvement is overwhelming. It is an art that one has to learn to use anger in a very controlled way; a cool anger not hot anger. When you are a teacher, there is always the issue that the students don't want to be controlled; I was one of those rebellious students. But the fact of the matter is that you have the control but you don't have to assert your authority and if people don't co-operate, then okay. So if anyone doesn't co-operate then it is very simple, 'I'll give you a few chances and then you're out. Go speak to the director and good luck!'

Simple as that. There is no discussion about it. Just a few chances and then out. I'm not going to get upset with you… I just lay down the line… very simple… this is it!

I see it with temple presidents who are trying to assert their authority. There's no need, you already got it. You're the temple president, you're the boss, you have the authority! The problem is that people, out of fear, get out of control and start to try to assert their authority. That is when they get under the modes - dealing with such aggression. So, with the mode of goodness you just realize, 'No, I have the authority, I will just stay calm and I'll establish clearly how it is and if they are not co-operating then they are out, after a few warnings.'

So, in the mode of goodness, one is the tortoise who stays in his own goodness and then puts out the legs but not too much, not where you completely and emotionally throw yourself in a material situation!
