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

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.

If we feel unqualified and feel grateful for an opportunity to serve, then Krishna will bestow in our hearts.

Unless we hear very strictly with great faith to the order of our Spiritual Master, we will not understand what is the mercy of Krishna and how it is coming upon us.

A grateful heart is not one that is very selective and choosy about what to be grateful for.

Sincerity in sadhna and eagerness to serve is the basis of one’s relationship with the spiritual master.

I just didn’t know where I fit in – I didn’t seem to fit in my parent’s generation. I didn’t seem to fit in my own generation. Little by little, this took me into a spiritual search for understanding; a search for meaning and fulfillment.

Acting is telling the truth under imaginary circumstances.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

Fortune may crowd a man’s life with fortunate circumstances and happy opportunities, but they will, as we all know, avail him nothing unless he makes a wise and vigorous use of them.

I know I’m a good professional, I know that no one’s harder on me than myself and that’s never going to change, under any circumstances.

Circumstantial evidence is a very tricky thing. It may seem to point very straight to one thing, but if you shift your own point of view a little, you may find it pointing in an equally uncompromising manner to something entirely different.

I don’t know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
