Only surrender to Krishna frees one from sin; individual effort alone cannot achieve liberation from material bondage.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — December 3, 1975, Vṛndāvana 751203MW-VRNDAVAN [20:21 Minutes] Walk_751203MW-VRNDAVAN Prabhupāda: He cannot give up this habit. A dog is made king, but he will jump and lick up the shoes. Viśāla: [in background] Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. [break] It is the grace of Providence you do not see that it is properly cleansed. Viśāla: I'm sorry.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Viśāla: ...Your Divine Grace. That is my fault.
Prabhupāda: Why there is water? This water means the shoes, dirt, it will be dirty. So you have no eyes to see? Viśāla: I am blind.
I am sorry. I will see that it is cleaned for you.
Prabhupāda: Then become with eyes. Simply praying, what you will do? Do something practical. Harikeśa: This is the argument people always throw against us.
"Simply praying, what will you do? Do something practical." They say this all the time.
