“Humility is practical application of knowledge.”

In giving respect we can be very happy, because we can do it in all situations. When we expect respect we are miserable, because it is not that everyone in every situation will respect us.

Regret or remorse of the wrong we have done should be in a positive spirit of changing, turning towards God with humility.

What touches our hearts and impresses us deeper is sacrifice and humility, when we see someone accept the higher principle of cooperation, putting aside his/her own achievements.

Tolerance means to fix our mind, to fix our words, & our actions on a higher principle.

When we recognize how precious and truly glorious we are, then we become humbled by that and recognize everyone’s true spiritual identity. And then our greatest joy is in sharing.

Humility is an ornament which attracts Krishna’s heart. Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility.

Substance of Bhakti is Surrender and Humility.

Any propensity other than love cannot exist in the spiritual world. There is unlimited variegatedness, but they are all extraordinarily wonderful ways of expressing love.

To purify the heart is the one and only purpose that God has created this human life.

Bhakti and Humility cannot be separated like sweetness cannot be separated from sweet.

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

Mother Nature is always speaking. She speaks in a language understood within the peaceful mind of the sincere observer. Leopards, cobras, monkeys, rivers and trees; they all served as my teachers when I lived as a wanderer in the Himalayan foothills.

The essence of spiritual life is simply to use our free will properly.

To the degree we try to create peace around us, we will find peace within ourselves. And to the degree we find peace within ourselves, we will actually have the power to create peace around us.

Even if you want one drop of respect you have to take birth in this material world again.

The greater is our sphere of influence, the greater the responsibility.

The popularisation of scientific doctrines is producing as great an alteration in the mental state of society as the material applications of science are effecting in its outward life.

The real test of one’s belief in the doctrine of Habeas Corpus is not when one demands its application on behalf of one’s friends but of one’s enemies.

Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions – those institutions we proudly called the American way of life.

One tries to tell a truth, and one hopes that the truth has a general application rather than just a specific one.

Philosophy cannot be taught; it is the application of the sciences to truth.

There are very few things impossible in themselves; and we do not want means to conquer difficulties so much as application and resolution in the use of means.

Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.

The Self has turned out to mean so many things, to mean them so ambiguously, and to be so wavering in its application, that we do not feel encouraged.
