“When we speak of the dust of the lotus feet of the Spiritual Master, we are speaking of humble approach to serve his instructions. Unless we humbly serve the instructions of the great soul, it is Krishna’s arrangement the He never reveals Himself.”

If somebody praises us and if we have any humility we will feel totally like a fool.

Humility is all about being truthful and honest.

In this world, all pleasures are sources of pain.

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.

If we see the body we live in as a temple used to engage in beautiful activities in the service of God’s children, then we recognize it as spiritual. But if we use our body for more selfish purposes, then we’re only experiencing its material conception.

A great soul is called Saragrahi that means one who is always looking for the essence of every situation that comes before us.

Guru is heavy, because he carries Lord Krishna in his heart.

The only way we can make this world a better place is to transcend it.

Don’t let a breath escape from your body without Krishna’s name. That should be our determination throughout our life.

Real religion is about, developing real character; character of compassion, character of humility, the character of determination to grow in all circumstances.

Do not think that if you surrender to God you will be loser. You will not lose anything except bondage, frustration and suffering. That is all you will lose.

Humility is not a part of devotional service, it is the heart of devotional service.

Kali yuga is so much saturated with vicious habits that there is a great fight at the slightest of misunderstanding.

The flip side of happiness is suffering.

What appears to be a curse can be a blessing if we simply appreciate the inner essence of the possibility of how to connect to God in that situation.

To be in the association of those aspiring to love God is the ultimate gift of God.

Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.

Nature is the best instructor.

If after accepting the spiritual master and being initiated one does not follow the rules and regulations of devotional service, then he is again fallen.

From childhood, I had been instructed in the tablaa by my father, along with the astaais and antaraas specific to our Gharana.

Real men don’t use instructions, son. Besides, this is just the manufacturer’s opinion on how to put this together.

There’s not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.

In history, a great volume is unrolled for our instruction, drawing the materials of future wisdom from the past errors and infirmities of mankind.

Don’t always blindly follow guidance and step-by-step instructions; you might run into something interesting.
