So, as you asked me, I will send the letter in 3 smaller parts. Here I go with the firs one:

THE DREAM OF SRILA PRABHUPADA, CHAPTER 2

Then now I will share some of his teachings that have been very usefull to me over the past few months:

Once he told his disciples in San Francisco, while walking one morning by the Golden Gate Park: "...those who want to see God, must first have the qualities to can see Him. They must be purified. As the clouds covering the sun now, ordinary people think, 'oh! the sun has not come out'. But the sun is there, our eyes are covered..." Using the same metaphor of the sun, commenting on the teachings of Lord Kapiladeva, Srila Prabhupada states: "...the Absolute Truth is like the sun, which comes out for all to see. The sun does not hide, but we can try to hide ourselves from the sun closing the doors. To see the sun, we have to open the door. By the same way, Krsna is there, God is there..."

"...living entities are controlled by their previous actions ..."

"You can say who is God only in 5 words: Krsna is the Supreme Controller. If you are convinced of this and preach enthusiastically, success will be assured and you will be giving the greatest service to all living entities..." This is why a devotee has to understand vedic philosophy, he has to be prepared to answer any question.

With respect to some of his disciples had returned to their former way of life, materialistic, Prabhupada tries to find those sincere souls who would remain, that was the important thing, he said: "a moon worth more than many stars".

About the importance of practicing austerity: "...a devotee, accepting what nature provides, use his time and energy in spiritual life... the city is made by man and the field is made by God..."

Vairagya: bhakti-yoga is so strong that if we practice, we automatically refuse to serve maya.
