“What really pleases the Spiritual Master is our intent and the quality of our character.”

There cannot be love without trust and there cannot be trust unless we take the responsibility to act in a way that people can trust us.

I came to the conclusion that unless I found myself and became the change I wanted to see in the world – as Gandhi said – I couldn’t contribute much, nor would there be anything fulfilling or meaningful in my life. So I went on a spiritual search.

Definition of love: capacity to forgive endlessly.

Every time you are passing the test, you are coming closer to Krishna.

The transcendental knowledge of devotional service is digested by the engyme of humility.

If we do the right thing with right intent that is actually our success.

Sadly, in the name of progress, we have polluted the air, water, soil and the food we eat.

Remembrance is a necessary expression of love, internally.

When we are honoured for a thing, we become attached to that thing.

Real religion is not about being a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim. Real religion is about loving God, & dedicating ones life to be an instrument of Gods compassion, kindness towards other living beings.

Giving up pride means giving all credit and glory to Guru and Krishna.

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 power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself.

In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him.

I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.

Every intention sets energy into motion Whether you are conscious of it or not.

It’s crazy because I have a scar on my right eyebrow, but people who don’t know me very well think that I just intentionally shave that part of it.

Nothing defies you more than the intentions in your heart.

When I wrote ‘Marvin Gaye,’ my whole intention was to make a record that people would put on a record player… and just instantly make out with each other.

Simply existing is not your only option. You can choose to intentionally live.
