“Wherever there is power, there is very great responsibility to utilize it properly.”

Renunciation means death of false ego.

Where there is no inner freedom, there is no life.

In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.

Simply performing devotional activities will not impart devotion to others but our consciousness should be absorbed.

Service is life. No service means, spiritually no life.

Even when Krishna gives you strength, maya will delude you to think it is your strength.

Whatever our destiny is, whatever our Karma is, if we simply accept the mercy of Guru, “Guru Kripa”, it can completely liberate us from all of our previous Karmic bondage.

We should be in harmony with our own consciousness; our mind, body, and soul should be one in interest and in purpose. And in that unified condition, we can actually express that natural innate love that we have found in our own life in everything we do in the world.

Application of humility is service.

Death is not big thing, what is important is God’s service.

Greatness is in not what you do but how you are an instrument in the hands of God.

When you take a position, you have to accept responsibilities.

Sometimes the Lord gives us a free sample of religious experience, but for more, we must pay a price with the currency of sincere dedication to the process of cleansing.

By hearing from the Guru, we can understand what is the desire of Lord within our heart.

We have to seek the essence of all religions; then we can see how spirituality actually unites us and empowers us instead of breaking us down.

When we face difficulties and still remain faithful to Krishna and spiritual master we access the infinite mercy of their hearts.

Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.

We don’t really learn anything properly until there is a problem, until we are in pain, until something fails to go as we had hoped … We suffer, therefore we think.

The mind may be reluctant to think properly when thinking is all it is supposed to do; the task can be as paralysing as having to tell a joke or mimic an accent on demand.

I confess. If the law had been appiled to me properly for what I did in Vietnam, I’d have been convicted for high treason.

A box score does not properly represent the most important thing – team play. It shows some guy scoring 27 points, but it doesn’t show that my 27-point man let his guy score 30.

Human beings share the same common problems. A film can only be understood if it depicts these properly.

I’m kind of glad that I was able to properly grow up before becoming a massive movie star.

The image of your goal properly planted and constantly nourished with positive, expectant thought-energy will cause your goal to develop into a burning desire.
