We shouldn’t be ambitious for positions; rather, we should be ambitious for service.

Every failure contains a seed of success.

Love is selfless when it’s given simply to please another without any expectation of return. Selfless love is offered in a spirit of gratitude, enthusiasm, and courage. It gives one the kind of inner satisfaction that makes all selfish pleasures pale by comparison.

If we examine our own lives, we find that sometimes we are being used as the instruments of maya, to create disharmony and discord among other Vaishnavas. We become the greatest enemy of Krishna, in the name of His devotee.

The joy of bhakti is experienced to the degree we are selfless in our service.

Mercy means to get what we do not deserve.

Leading a God-centered life is simple and sublime, but because of our complicated minds, our tendency is to look for something more difficult because we feel that if it’s so easy, it must not work.

God loves each of us whoever we are or are not, whatever we’ve done or not, nothing can change this one eternal truth: THE SUPREME LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY AND ETERNALLY.

If we serve someone with love and affection, blessings will pour from that person’s heart, without even asking.

Actually, when your heart is pained to see the suffering of others, it awakens actual spiritual ecstasy. Why? As it is pleasing Krishna, and we are sharing Krishna’s spirit of love in a mood of servitude.

There cannot be hate in the heart of one who loves God.

Absorb ourselves in the supreme of all prayers, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, fix our mind begging for service and begging for the power to please the Lord by our service, because in essence the success of our service is how we please Krishna.

If one is serious about making spiritual advancement, one must discipline his time.

The highest prayer is the prayer to become a selfless instrument in God’s hands.

If you think that nobody loves you, the problem is that you have not learnt how to love others. Because if you have learnt to love others, you will be satisfied millions of times giving love than looking for it. And when you give love, spontaneously and naturally people reciprocate. People love those who love them. It’s human nature.

Maya is so thorough, just like water. If there is one little crack, the water will just find its way immediately to that crack – the problem is our consciousness has so many cracks.

A man of God is like the ocean—undisturbed by the rivers that are coming in. The fullness of peace he experiences within is so great that the problems of the world he has to deal with and the suffering he has to go through become insignificant in comparison. But if you don’t have God, that suffering is the all and all of your life.

God awards those who weathered all their differences to base their life on a higher principle, with deep affection and love for each other.

The person who survives the clutches of maya is the person who prays each and every moment for Krishna to save him.

Our spiritual advancement is based on how Krishna sees us.

As long as we identify ourselves only as a product of this material existence, there can be no real peace.

Education means to bring out what is within you.

Mind is one's biggest enemy when uncontrolled, but majority of people put full faith on their enemy.
