I guess when you reflect on life it doesn't go as fast as it sometimes seems. But still life goes way too fast. I hope I've only hit half way.

  5. SB 4.7 (part 2)

    SB 4.7.37: The governors of various planets spoke as follows: Dear Lord, we believe only in our direct perception, but under the circumstances we do not know whether we have actually seen You with our material senses.
