“Humility is practical application of knowledge.”

Familiarity leads to lack of Gratitude.

Japa, Bhajana and Kirtana are superficial to the extent that we are not humble.

When there is love in our heart, only love will come out.

I took an interest in the Civil Rights Movement. I listened to Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was raging. When I was 18, I was eligible for the draft, but when I went to be tested, I didn’t qualify.

Renunciation doesn’t mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.

The cause of so much suffering and pain and one of the impediments to our spiritual progress, is the conditioning of expecting things to go our way, even in our spiritual life.

Arrogance repels the Lord; humility attracts the Lord.

When love is pure, it has the power to conquer. Lover and beloved conquer each other by their affection. The source, the essence, the fullest manifestation of love’s conquering power is the love of the soul for the supreme soul, or God.

If you do some wonderful service and if you tell people what you did in a boastful way, it nullifies the credit of your service, may not be in the eternal platform, but in your conscious condition you will not be able to reap the benefits of that service.

When you take responsibility over others you have to be actually Selfless.

The more you feel you are fallen; the more you fall in love with God.

Theoretical knowledge can not touch heart without Humility

COOPERATION means to be willing to sacrifice for the sake of others.

Krishna exalts those who are humble and humbles those who exalt themselves.

We can not imitate great souls. However to study, analyse and imbibe the principles they teach and embody, is the path of progress.

Religious and spiritual leaders should be held accountable for environmental activism, not only because they have access to large communities and can influence votes but because service is integral to religious and spiritual life.

Our delight in any particular study, art, or science rises and improves in proportion to the application which we bestow upon it. Thus, what was at first an exercise becomes at length an entertainment.

In the post-Snowden world, you need to enable others to build their own cloud and have mobility of applications.

Those laws, being forged for universal application, are in perpetual conflict with personal interest, just as personal interest is always in contradiction with the general interest.

It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, for our consideration and application of these things, and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

The popularisation of scientific doctrines is producing as great an alteration in the mental state of society as the material applications of science are effecting in its outward life.

The real test of one’s belief in the doctrine of Habeas Corpus is not when one demands its application on behalf of one’s friends but of one’s enemies.

Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions – those institutions we proudly called the American way of life.

One tries to tell a truth, and one hopes that the truth has a general application rather than just a specific one.
