The tragedy of the world is that generally people do not recognize how important and loved someone is until they die. Because we are so preoccupied and so distracted by so many so-called important things.
We should never complain, when things go wrong in our life. We should never blame this person or that person, we should see that everything is happening by the sweet will of the lord to give me the perfect opportunity to become His pure devotee.
All the conflicts in this world are simply born of people whose propensity to love is frustrated to different degrees.
Certain situations are extremely painful and our intelligence fails to reason how this could be a blessing of the Lord. At such times we could try humbly submitting a prayer, Oh God, please give me the strength to see this situation as your mercy although my intelligence fails to see it so. This way we can tap the so far concealed grace of the Lord, and develop gratitude for all inconceivable situations that God arranges for us in our lives.
We can’t artificially make harmony just by peace treaties. Real harmony has to be based on truth: what we really have in common, what our real connection to each other is.
Wherever we find the teachings, the association, and the inspiration to purify our lives, to lead a life of integrity and humility, and to live in a spirit of selfless service that’s where we are going to find the deepest experience of God.
It’s too late to avoid the reactions, but not too late to come to the right conclusions.
Not a moment in human life passes when actions are not accounted for.
If we offer a drop, the Lord returns a bottomless ocean of His love in reciprocation.
Where there is no inner freedom, there is no life.
God is the father of all living entities. We are all His children. We must show our love for our father by how we treat our brothers and sisters. There’s no greater pleasure for a mother and father than seeing the children love each other.
If one has little simplicity at heart, then one can achieve the mercy of a great soul and that becomes the very means to attain the life’s perfection.
The more we advance in Krishna consciousness, the more we have to strengthen our service attitude, in order to bear the weight of responsibility.
Selfishness, the incessant craving to be recognized, it’s the mind’s way of succumbing to the ego. It’s the symptom of the person who has really not tasted the sweetness of glorifying Krishna.
It’s easy to say that you are in Maya. The real challenge is to inspire a person in such a way that he comes out of Maya.
It’s our service attitude that attracts Krishna to empower us to taste the sweetness of the holy name, to be able to actually experience and see the beauty of the holy dham.
Our spiritual progress depends on Service Attitude & our Sincere Chanting.
To the degree our actions are selfish, it cannot satisfy the heart. A selfless act is that in which we are truly giving ourselves for the object of our love.
Gold is most malleable because it has least resistance, if we reduce our resistance in Krishna’s service, the current of Krishna’s mercy will easily flow through our heart.
The world is a mirror of one’s own mind.
Inner fulfillment gives strength to fight maya.
