ABCD of Krishna Consciousness!

Verse 1.9.28 (Ashish Pr):
* Bhismadeva is explaining to his grandchildren about the different divisions of society, according to varnashrama dharma.
* But the Lord, Krishna does not fall under any of these categories.
* Dharma for grhastha is charity, brahmachari and sannyasi's have the dharma of austerity.
* How do we keep Krishna in the center? Train our dependents, support each, we get energy from Krishna, so just use it back in His service.
* Chant sincerely, associate with devotees, serve nicely, take prasadam diet only and read Srila Prabhupada's books, that is enough for us to progress.

Verse 1.9.27 (Puja Mji):
* Human energy is for self-realization. Our energy should be diverted to self-realization and not to be invested in acquiring and running behind material pleasures.
* As in SB 1.2.6, the Supreme occupation for us is devotional service, uninterrupted and unmotivated.
* Varna based on guna and karma and not on birth
* Our goal should be to conquer lust, anger, greed, pride and envy. That is possible only by chanting the Holy Name very very sincerely.
* This process of KC is simple but not easy. We need to work on this process and by Guru and Krishna's mercy, success will come.
