Default quote from Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur - 05-30-2002, 09:15 PM

"While located in the mayic world a man must live peacefully with the object
of cultivating the spirit. In his society he must lead a pure life, avoid
sins and do as much good as he can to help his brother man. He must be
himself humble, bearing difficulties of life with heroism, must not brag of
any goodness or grandeur he has and must treat everyone with the respect due
to him. Marriage with a view to peaceful and virtuous life and with a view
to procreate servants of the Lord is a good institution for a Vaisnava.
Spiritual cultivation is the main object of life. Do everything that helps
it and abstain from doing anything which thwarts the cultivation of the
spirit. Have strong faith that Krishna alone protects you and no-one else.
Admit him as your only guardian. Do everything which you know Krishna
wishes you to do and never think that you do anything independent of the
holy wish of Krishna. Do all that you do with humility. Always remember that
you are a sojourner in this world and you must be prepared for your own
home. Do your duties and cultivate bhakti as a means to obtain the great end
of life, Krishna-priti. Employ your body, mind and spirit in the service of
the Deity. In all your actions, worship the Supreme Lord. Do these with your
heart, mind and strength in the company of spiritual people
alone, and you will see Krishna in no time."

(I'm not sure where this is from -- BVS)
