“When you advance in Krishna Consciousness it is more difficult to tolerate being honored than to tolerate being dishonored.”

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 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.

We lose touch with parts of ourselves defined as unacceptable by that consciousness; with the vital toughness and visionary strength of the angry grandmothers, the fierce market women of the Ibo’s Women’s War.

The moral improvement demands an evolution leading to a higher consciousness.

For if we do not take it upon ourselves to remedy in time to the moral colapse (or bankruptcy) that already threaten, the whole civilisation will risks to disappear.

Moral improvement (or perfecting) require an evolution leading to a higher consciousness, which is the true torch of life; it is what we have failed too much to appreciate, and that which would be fatal to fail to appreciate any longer (“pluslongtemps”, Fr.).

No woman is really an insider in the institutions fathered by masculine consciousness.

Freud rediscovered the underworld of consciousness that European rationalism had denied. But when you have a nation of people in therapy and counselling.

Poetry can add its grain to an accumulation of consciousness against the idea that there is no alternative – that we’re just in the great flow of capitalism and it can never be any different – that this is human destiny, this is human nature.

No woman is really an insider in the institutions fathered by masculine consciousness. When we allow ourselves to believe we are.
