	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		As living beings we are all originally God conscious, but due to our desires to please our senses we forget our natural state of God consciousness. The desire to make life comfortable and pleasing to us is so prominent in us. By pleasing ourselves we think we will attain happiness, but actually that is an illusion. Happiness in this material life is short, But when we surrender ourselves to pleasing the lord, then then we derive eternal happiness. If we do not work for pleasing God, then that work will entangle us in the cycle of birth and death.

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~A pure devotee, who~~ is ~~attached to~~ the ~~activities~~ of ~~devotional service~~ and ~~who always engages in~~ the ~~service of My lotus feet, never desires~~ to ~~become one with Me~~\|~~A pure devotee, who~~ is ~~attached to~~ the ~~activities~~ of ~~devotional service~~ and ~~who always engages in~~ the ~~service of My lotus feet, never desires~~ to ~~become one with Me~~. ~~Such a devotee, who~~ is ~~unflinchingly engaged,~~ always ~~glorifies My pastimes and activities~~. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.34)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Discretion is the better part of valor, and one must learn how to discriminate between actions which may be pleasing to the Lord and those which may not be pleasing to the Lord. An action is thus judged by the Lord's pleasure or displeasure\|Discretion is the better part of valor, and one must learn how to discriminate between actions which may be pleasing to the Lord and those which may not be pleasing to the Lord. An action is thus judged by the Lord's pleasure or displeasure. There is no room for personal whims; we must always be guided by the pleasure of the Lord. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.15.24)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|If the Lord is pleased with someone, what is left for him to achieve? If one has been recognized by the Lord, even if he does not ask the Lord for anything, the Lord, who is within everyone, supplies him whatever he wants\|One should endeavor to become Krishna conscious. If one tries to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world, he should be understood to be performing the best welfare activity. The Lord is automatically very pleased with him. If the Lord is pleased with him, what is left for him to achieve? If one has been recognized by the Lord, even if he does not ask the Lord for anything, the Lord, who is within everyone, supplies him whatever he wants. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 8.7.44)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|In this age the performance of sacrifice has been simplified. One can chant Hare Krishna, and by pleasing Krishna one can satisfy all the demigods automatically\| One should invite people, chant Hare Krishna, and then distribute prasāda. This yajña will satisfy all the demigods, and thus there will be peace and prosperity in the world. Another difficulty in performing the Vedic rituals is that if one fails to satisfy even one demigod out of the many hundreds of thousands of demigods, just as Dakṣa failed to satisfy Lord Śiva, there will be disaster. But in this age the performance of sacrifice has been simplified. One can chant Hare Krishna, and by pleasing Krishna one can satisfy all the demigods automatically. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.6.53)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Pleasing the Lord should be the sole purpose of commerce and trade, and also of research, science, charity, austerity, and all other activities\|Pleasing the Lord should be the sole purpose of commerce and trade, and also of research, science, charity, austerity, and all other activities. Such a practice will inspire one to hear and chant transcendental topics related to Lord Krishna, and this hearing and chanting are the foremost of the ninefold devotional activities. '''(Renunciation Through Wisdom, Chapter 2.11)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|Since the Lord is perpetually compassionate towards them, if some of His devotees also become compassionate towards them, He is very pleased with the devotees\|The Lord is always compassionate towards the fallen souls of this material world, and therefore He comes Himself or sends His confidential servants to deliver them. Since He is perpetually compassionate towards them, if some of His devotees also become compassionate towards them, He is very pleased with the devotees. In Bhagavad-gītā it is clearly stated that persons who are trying to elevate the condition of the fallen souls by preaching the conclusion of Bhagavad-gītā—namely, full surrender unto the Personality of Godhead—are very dear to Him. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.29.6)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~. '''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|We should be prepared to do anything and everything to please the Lord, even at the risk of violating the Vedic principles or ethical laws. That is the standard of love of Godhead. Such activities in pure love of Godhead are as spotless as white linen\| We should be prepared to do anything and everything to please the Lord, even at the risk of violating the Vedic principles or ethical laws. That is the standard of love of Godhead. Such activities in pure love of Godhead are as spotless as white linen that has been completely washed. '''(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 4.170)'''}}
