Love is our Life

Love is our life; everyone wants to love. Everyone is hankering to love
someone. But we do not know where to place our love. Krsna, however, is the
ultimate object of love. We are trying to maintain this body, but the body
is not actually the proper object of our love. Rather, it is the life within
the body that is the real object of love. Similarly, the central point is
Krsna. As soon as we somehow or other place our love with Krsna, our path of
happiness, eternity and bliss opens.
Srila Prabhupada, from BTG no. 37, 1970

“One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities, who does not think himself a proprietor and is free from false ego, who is equal in both happiness and distress, who is tolerant, always satisfied, self-controlled, and engaged in devotional service with determination, his mind and intelligence fixed on Me—such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me.”
