“We should be in harmony with our own consciousness; our mind, body, and soul should be one in interest and in purpose. And in that unified condition, we can actually express that natural innate love that we have found in our own life in everything we do in the world.”

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.

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.

Understand suffering is a part of my karma, otherwise you will spoil your future karma also.

The task of science is to stake out the limits of the knowable, and to center consciousness within them.

Attempting to understand consciousness with your mind, is like trying to illuminate the sun with a candle.

All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.

Simply performing devotional activities will not impart devotion to others but our consciousness should be absorbed.

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

The worst tragedy is that this uncontrolled mind steals our consciousness away from Krishna and that is the beginning, the essence of all suffering.

The more we are happy in Krishna Consciousness, the more we become purified.

Spirituality is revival of our God consciousness, not creating something new.
