So comics is an American form of art that anyone can do with a pencil and paper.

• Nuestro primer deber es satisfacer al maestro espiritual, quien puede disponer la misericordia del Señor. Un hombre común debe primero comenzar a servir al maestro espiritual o al devoto. Entonces, a través de la misericordia del devoto, el Señor estará satisfecho. A menos que uno reciba el polvo de los pies de loto de un devoto en la cabeza, no hay posibilidad de avance. A menos que uno se acerque a un devoto puro, no puede comprender a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios.
