FRIENDS FROM ANOTHER WORLD

Srila Bhaktissidhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada

The servitors of Godhead will always look to our interest. In this material world, our friends sometimes like us and sometimes they turn against us. But in sādhu-sanga there is an opportunity of hearing about our original home from the lips of persons who are quite familiar with the same. If we neglect the opportunity we shall repent in the long run. Their words will lift us and change our mentality. All sorts of puzzling questions will be solved if only we lend our ear to those persons who have very little to do with this world. Our situations in this world are liable to change like fogs and mists. As intelligent men, our prudent nature should manage sometimes to hear of the transcendental world, instead of being unaccountably diffident. An incredulous attitude will not give us the opportunity to hear of such things.
— From an undated conversation entitled, "Correct Angle of Vision".
