Srila Prabhupada ~ Purport On Jaya Radha Madhava:

This material world is but a reflection of the pure spiritual world from which the "Light of the Bhagavata" emanates. Nature itself, as well as the whole cosmic creation, has its original counterpart in the spiritual world. The order and patterns which we see set about in nature are intentionally designed to illustrate spiritual truths. Indeed, the very existence of nature and its intricate balance is proof for any honest man of the existence of the Supreme Being, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna.

Wednesday - Gurudeva Krpa Karke - Thakura

The latest desire man has developed is the desire to travel to other planets. This is quite natural, because he has the constitutional right to go to any part of the material or spiritual skies. Such travel is very tempting and exciting because these skies are full of unlimited globes of varying qualities, and they are occupied by all types of living entities. 

The desire to travel to other planets can be fulfilled by the process of yoga, which serves as a means by which one can transfer himself to whatever planet he likes—possibly to planets where life is not only eternal and blissful, but where there are multiple varieties of enjoyable energies. 

Anyone who can attain the freedom of the spiritual planets need never return to this miserable land of birth, old age, disease and death.

Easy Journey To Other Planets Audiobook -- A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Yoga means the connecting link between the soul and the Supersoul, or the Supreme and the minute living creatures. Lord Sri Krishna is that Supreme, the Personality of Godhead. Being, therefore, the ultimate object of yoga, Krishna's name is yogesvara, the master of yoga.

Limit To Love

Satsang With HH Radhanath Swami at ISKCON Chowpatty on 13th Dec 2020

Now what does it mean to control the mind? Krishna describes that one must control the lower self with the higher self. Lower than the mind is the senses and higher than the mind is the intelligence. If the mind becomes a victim to following the dictation of the senses, then your mind is your worst enemy. But if your mind is willing to accept the dictation of higher intelligence, your mind is the best friend. 
Now the next natural question is ‘what is our higher intelligence?” The higher intelligence is very simple to understand. The higher intelligence is the word of Guru and Krishna people think their higher intelligence means their own discriminant discriminatory faculties to decide what is right and what is wrong. The real higher intelligence is the word of God as it is coming to the Shastra and as it is coming to the Guru. That

Key To The Success Of Yoga

And that is one of the greatest detriments in any spiritual society that Maya or illusion captures us with this attraction, allurement, for facilities. We want to utilize the facilities we are having and we become attached to them. Facilities are meant for God’s service. But the tendency is we become attached. How do you know if you are attached or not? Anyone can say “I am detached its all of Krishna.” Any one can say that even I can say that. But the test is when you are asked to give it up, when you are asked to give up that facility by Krishna or his representatives. If we are really using it for Krishna, I will do without it. No problem. But if we say, “No I can’t, impossible, no way.” What does that mean? Means yes! It’s partially for Krishna, but you are attached for your own selfish purposes. Are we sincere? When something is taken away, then that’s the test. Are we actually sincere? Are we only trying to selfishly enjoy something in the name of Krishna? 
And not only things, but the most powerful than that is pratishtha, recognition, prestige, title and position. People are very attached to positions. People will lie, cry and die for a position. And we like to say that “I am only in this position because it’s the best thing for Krishna’s service.” But even n the name of Krishna’s service you may be in that trap of illusion. And the test is ‘give up your position.’ How will I live? How will I serve? I need this title. I need my name on the door. We should not be attached to a service. We must be attached to the spirit of the service. And on the basis of people wanting prestige, honor, respect, to the degree you have those desires, it’s inevitable, you will be envious of people who are potential competitors. Who are people who have more than you. Then where is the yoga? Where is the union? There is no real yoga until we are free of envy. It’s not just the matter of sitting cross legged and doing some breathing exercises or standing on your head. Those things are good for health and good for harmonizing body, mind and soul. But to purify the heart, to purify it so there is real unity with God and real unity with others, we have to rise above the ahnakar, the false ego. Where we want to take credit for what we do.
