“The living being is in the state of forgetfulness of his relation with God due to his being overly attracted to material sense gratification from time immemorial.”
― A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Srimad Bhagavatam: First Canto

“When one waters the root of a tree, he automatically waters the branches, twigs, leaves and flowers; when one supplies food to the stomach through the mouth, he satisfies all the various parts of the body.”
― A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

“The art of focusing one’s attention on the Supreme and giving one’s love to Him is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness.”
― A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

“We have seen many rich persons, many powerful persons, many famous persons, many beautiful persons, many learned and scholarly persons, and persons in the renounced order of life unattached to material possessions. But we have never seen any one person who is unlimitedly and simultaneously wealthy, powerful, famous, beautiful, wise and unattached, like Kṛṣṇa, in the history of humanity. Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is a historical person who appeared on this earth 5,000 years ago. He stayed on this earth for 125 years and played exactly like a human being, but His activities were unparalleled. From the very moment of His appearance to the moment of His disappearance, every one of His activities is unparalleled in the history of the world, and therefore anyone who knows what we mean by Godhead will accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one is equal to the Godhead, and no one is greater than Him. That is the import of the familiar saying “God is great.”
― A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
