>Interview with Religion Editor of The London Observer > Religion, as it is explained in the dictionary is accepting a supreme controller. Is it not? So do the people accept a supreme controller? Do they accept? There are so many system of religions, but do they actually know who is the supreme controller? That is my question.

>Knowledge is the solution--First Find A Bona Fide Guru (RealAudio from 1966) > For knowledge we have got to go to the right person, one who has actually seen or experienced the Absolute Truth.

Therefore you have to accept inconceivable power.

>Real Spiritual Life Means Joyfulness. Material Life Means Anxiety (RealAudio SB Class) > If I am not jolly that means maya has attacked me. A devotee shall never be not joyful. Always joyful.

Modern Civilization (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.24 RealAudio) > Modern civilization is in the opinion that if they can improve their material condition of eating, sleeping, mating and defending, that is advancement of civilization.

As long as we do not come to the platform of understanding that I am spirit soul, I am part and parcel of the Supreme Spirit, we are in the ignorance.

>Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.47 Dallas, July 29, 1975 > These are very scientific things. The whole world is unaware of these scientific things, this is animal civilization; and this Krsna consciousness movement is trying to elevate them to the standard of human beings.

Common platform is not very difficult to understand because religion means to know God and abide by the orders of God. That is religion.

No.
