The art of loving creates the unity which has unlimited spiritual strength, and that is the greatest need in the world today. Each one of us can make such a difference if we become humble, if we develop a service attitude, and if we develop the broad mind to see the oneness of all living beings.
In my own spiritual journey, I became a swami on the Hindu path of Bhakti. In the Hindu tradition, a swami is a monk who forgoes regular family life for the purpose of making the whole world his family and channels his full energy into spiritual practice, devotion to God and service to humanity.
The word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.
Actual Gratitude is the Symptom of Humility.
Krishna is present fully in His holy name and this is realized by the humility and sincerity in our chanting.
Sometimes the Lord gives us a free sample of religious experience, but for more, we must pay a price with the currency of sincere dedication to the process of cleansing.
We should honor Mother Earth with gratitude; otherwise our spirituality may become hypocritical.
The essence of spiritual life is simply to use our free will properly.
When love is pure, it has the power to conquer. Lover and beloved conquer each other by their affection. The source, the essence, the fullest manifestation of love’s conquering power is the love of the soul for the supreme soul, or God.
When there is love in our heart, only love will come out.
Service is life. No service means, spiritually no life.
When you have an ego, you are limited to your own strengths and weaknesses. But if you are totally surrendered to God, nothing is impossible for you.
In our conditioned nature, we do not understand the value of something until we lose it.
Compassion is an essential element of love.
When you take a position, you have to accept responsibilities.
Real humility does not depress you, but allows you to call intensely and brings us closer to Krishna.
If we feel unqualified and feel grateful for an opportunity to serve, then Krishna will bestow in our hearts.
