"So everything can be controlled by Krishna's grace. He is Madana-mohana. Therefore, our first business is to surrender to Madana-mohana and establish our relationship with Him. 'My Lord Krishna, I have so long forgotten...' That song is sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura,
manasa, deho, geho, yo kicho mora
arpilun tuya pade, nanda-kisora
This is full surrender. Then Krishna assures, aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah, He will protect. So tams titiksasva bharata. There are so many disturbances. So Krishna says tolerate, and do your business faithfully. Chant Hare Krishna, follow the rules and regulations, and remain fully surrendered at the lotus feet of Madana-mohana. There will be no more disturbance."
(Srila Prabhupada lecture, Mayapur, April 8, 1975)
