I trust men only because I trust God.

All service should be regarded as an offering to God, and every opportunity to serve should be welcomed as a gift from God. When service is done in this spirit, it will lead to self-realization.

When you yearn for God with intensity, He will come to you.

Respect for life and for the dignity of the human person also extends to the rest of creation, which is called to join man in praising God.

For we have never actually understood the revolutionary sense beneath them – the incredible truth that what religion calls the vision of God is found in giving up any belief in the idea of God.

The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.

God will certainly be pleased if you give water for the thirsty, bread for the hungry and clothes to the naked.

What is God after all? An eternal child playing an eternal game in an eternal garden.

If we have love of God in our life, it really does not matter whether we don’t have anything or whether we have everything; we will be satisfied because of that love.

When a train of problems comes to me, I will regard it as God’s grace.

God has created everything transcendental. It is simply our failure to see the relationship of everything with Krishna that makes everything material.

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one.

The more we try to depend on God, the more He seems to test us with the pleasures of sense and the delights of the ego. Finally, the last kick He gives is, indeed, unbearable. Those who bear it are themselves gods.

Pure water means you don’t add anything but take all contamination, similarly pure love means you don’t put love, rather you take all dirt out of your heart; then you experience pure love of God.

Oh, God, to know you is life. To serve You is freedom. To praise you is the soul's joy and delight. Guard me with the power of Your grace here and in all places. Now and at all times, forever. Amen.

Granting that we are always in the presence of God, yet it seems to me that those who pray are in His presence in a very different sense; for they, as it were, see that He is looking upon them, while others may go for days on end without even once recollecting that God sees them.

Love God, and do what you like.

We can only know to the extent that God reveals to us. Because factually, whatever we see, by the time it comes to our consciousness, it’s filtered through our contaminated mind and our bewildered ego. So what really can we know in truth? This is the condition of the soul.

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.

We must understand then, that even though God doesn't always give us what we want, He always gives us what we need for our salvation.

Why do people argue? Even the wisest of men have not found God through argument! Is God a subject for argument?

We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.

He who loves is not ashamed before men of what he does for God, neither does he hide it through shame though the whole world should condemn it.
