Sublime teachings and words of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Page 39 of 40

One is a hero when one overcomes one's propensity for material enjoyment, and one has a sense of reality when one sees the One, the Lord, equally present.

Then, truth is found in the true and pleasing words proclaimed by the wise.

Cleanliness is when one detaches oneself from the performance of productive work (actions must be performed without attachment or expectation of reward), and in the case of renunciation (renunciation is when one completely renounces the fruits of the act in the performance of one's duty. It is the total renunciation of all family and social life, but also detachment from all things of this world, disinterest in the pleasures of the senses, rejection of objects that arouse the pleasure of the senses and quite naturally the rejection of materialism. This is the order of the holy hermit).

For human beings, religiosity constitutes desirable wealth, and I, the Most Fortunate, the Supreme Person, am the sacrifice.

Spiritual reward follows wise instruction, and breath control constitutes supreme strength.

Opulence is My divine nature, gain is My blessing, My mercy, education is the annulment of self-division, and modesty, in the sense of shame, is the abhorrence of improper action or sin.

Beauty means being of good qualities, such as being detached from material and other desires.

Happiness means transcending both material happiness and distress.

Unhappiness is relying on the physical happiness of lust.

A wise person is someone who can distinguish between liberation and bondage.

A fool is someone who identifies with the body and so on (the mind, etc.).

The right path is the one that leads to Me; the wrong path is the one that leads to a bewildered mind; and heaven implies the dominance of the mode of goodness.

Hell is the dominance of the mode of ignorance; the true friend is the spiritual master that I am; and the human body is our home.

One who is enriched with good qualities is called a rich person, while a poor person is someone who is discontented.

A miserable man is one who has not subdued his senses, a dominator is one whose intelligence is not attached to material affairs, and someone who is attached to sense gratification is of the other kind of quality, a slave.
