Sensory activities are the symptoms of life, and no one can stop them. The senses can only be detached from matter if they are given a higher occupation. One can indeed put an end to the material function of the senses if one directs them towards a higher occupation, and the supreme occupation as regards the senses, consists in serving the Lord with love and devotion. This is the most sublime method of achieving it.

From then on, the devout servant of Krishna constantly uses his senses in the loving and devotional service he offers to the Lord. He offers to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the fruits of his senses and of his deeds, for the Lord being the owner of all that is, He is also its rightful supreme beneficiary.

Any appearance of truth from which I am absent is within My energy of illusion, because nothing can exist without Me. It can only be a simple imitation, like a pale reflection of light in the shadow, for in the light there is neither darkness nor reflection.

There is no other existence than that of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. Nothing exists but He, and He alone, the only Living Being there is.

We are all, in truth, spiritual souls, minute fragments and integral parts of the very Person of God, the Sovereign Being.

People seek to satisfy their desires, believing in this way that they know the happiness. Alas, they do not know that they will be happy only by perfectly obeying the directives of the Lord. Krishna comes in person to pray the incarnate living being to renounce his material desires and to act according to his directives. Verily, it is only
