“If we seek the essence of every situation, if we seek to connect to God within our hearts, then we will find an opportunity there, to grow internally in wisdom in every trial we face.”

Humility is a natural symptom of those who love God.

The worst tragedy is that this uncontrolled mind steals our consciousness away from Krishna and that is the beginning, the essence of all suffering.

The dirty wax of egotism accumulated in the heart prevents us from clearly hearing the Lord’s voice within. A guru, with the stick of knowledge, cleans our hearts. It’s really ugly to see what may come out, but by following patiently, we keep cleaning.

When object of our anxiety is God, then that brings ecstacy.

The Ultimate expression of Humility comes when we control our senses.

Spirituality is based on development of character and philosophy.

Love is not enjoyment. Love is being enjoyed.

Dancing together in kirtans can help us develop friendships that no Mediation Therapy can.

Even if you have done no wrong, no mistake in the last 50 years, remember the mistake you did 51 years ago and repent for it and become humble.

To protect any community, we need intelligence and to nourish it we need humility.

Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for.

Responsibility means to perform our service properly,with proper attitude, behavior and words.

To be meek and humble means to have a service attitude towards God, the Vaisnavas, and all living beings. Unless we have that, our chanting will have minimal effect and many births may pass before we finally come to the conclusion.

Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we’ve forgotten that it’s our essence.

Compassion is a quality which impels one to perform sacrifices.

The word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.
