“Spirituality is revival of our God consciousness, not creating something new.”

In giving respect we can be very happy, because we can do it in all situations. When we expect respect we are miserable, because it is not that everyone in every situation will respect us.

Regret or remorse of the wrong we have done should be in a positive spirit of changing, turning towards God with humility.

What touches our hearts and impresses us deeper is sacrifice and humility, when we see someone accept the higher principle of cooperation, putting aside his/her own achievements.

Tolerance means to fix our mind, to fix our words, & our actions on a higher principle.

When we recognize how precious and truly glorious we are, then we become humbled by that and recognize everyone’s true spiritual identity. And then our greatest joy is in sharing.

Humility is an ornament which attracts Krishna’s heart. Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility.

Substance of Bhakti is Surrender and Humility.

Any propensity other than love cannot exist in the spiritual world. There is unlimited variegatedness, but they are all extraordinarily wonderful ways of expressing love.

To purify the heart is the one and only purpose that God has created this human life.

Bhakti and Humility cannot be separated like sweetness cannot be separated from sweet.

The more we are happy in Krishna Consciousness, the more we become purified.

Mother Nature is always speaking. She speaks in a language understood within the peaceful mind of the sincere observer. Leopards, cobras, monkeys, rivers and trees; they all served as my teachers when I lived as a wanderer in the Himalayan foothills.

The essence of spiritual life is simply to use our free will properly.

To the degree we try to create peace around us, we will find peace within ourselves. And to the degree we find peace within ourselves, we will actually have the power to create peace around us.

Even if you want one drop of respect you have to take birth in this material world again.

The greater is our sphere of influence, the greater the responsibility.

You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.

Alienation and loneliness plant the seeds for rebellion and consciousness.

I don’t believe consciousness is generated in the brain any more than television programs are made inside my TV. The box is too small.

You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.

Take assertiveness training, get paid what you’re worth, join a consciousness raising-group.

We are not of the same kind as beasts, and this also we say from our own consciousness. Therefore, methinks, it must be the possession of the soul within us that makes the difference.

The existence of a higher power with any consciousness or interest in the human race or ability to punish or reward humans for their moral choices or that there is any reason other than fear to believe in any version of an afterlife, I will give you my piano, one of my legs and my wife.

My thoughts went round and round and it occurred to me that if I ever wrote a novel it would be of the ‘stream of consciousness’ type and deal with an hour in the life of a woman at the sink.
