Nectar Drops- Sadacara.

Faith:

• Faith is a symptom of love of God and surrender is the manifestation of that love.
• Faith is the act of seeing beyond the region of possibility of the senses, the mind and the intelligence.
• The loose money, prestige, health of even life it self is not such a loss. To loose faith is the greatest loss.
• When we face difficulties and still remain faithful to Krishna and the spiritual master, we access the infinite mercy of their hearts.
• Srila Prabhupada’s special opulence was his absolute faith in the words of his spiritual master and the power of the holy names of Radha and Krishna.
• Faith is that substance through which we can see the invisible, through which we can connect to the Absolute Truth, Krishna.
• Faith in Krishna goes beyond intellectual Presentation and logic.
• If we remain faithful to the ideals we strive for, all the tests will only make us stronger.
• If we just understand, recognize and live by these three principles, we will find eternal peace that Krishna is the supreme proprietor of everything that exists. He is the ultimate enjouer and we are all meant to be enjoyed by him and he is the best well wishing friend of all living beings. That faith is the beginning of real life.
• Real faith is not something that is imposed upon us. Real faith is awakened from within in the proper environment, like a seed. A seed, if watered properly, grows into a beautiful flower.
• Faith is not something put into you; faith is awakened from within. The soul has complete faith. We have to long for this faith, we have to beg for this faith, we must pray for this faith and we must do the needful to get this faith.

Surrender:

• In the material sense, surrender means to give up, against our will and it is a miserable  idea.
• Do not think that if you surrender to Krishna you will be the loser. You will not lose anything except bondage, frustration and suffering. That is all you will lose.
• When you surrender that’s where you get your strength from.
• Affection without surrender is simply on the sentimental platfrom.
• Be allowing past karma to affect us, Krishna is giving us a chance to surrender more.
• Surrenedr sounds horrible to one who wants to be a controller. But it is the sweetest and most pleasing of all words for a edvotee who has a humble heart. For some it is a bitter medicine, for devotees it is sweet nectar.
• Unless we surrender to Krishna, we remain in various levels of illusion.
• How many biilions of people are on this earth ? Six billion. How many are in India ? One billion. How many are surrendered to Krishna ? If Krishna were forcing us to surrender, this whole planet would be one big Harinam Sankirtan Party.
• Surrender means to put your own wants last, to put your own bodily needs last, and to put the service of others and the service of God first. When we adapt this most beautiful expression of love within our life, then everything we do in this consciousness is most pleasing to the Lord.
• Surrender means to do anything at anytime without desire of expecation.
