“When we speak of the dust of the lotus feet of the Spiritual Master, we are speaking of humble approach to serve his instructions. Unless we humbly serve the instructions of the great soul, it is Krishna’s arrangement the He never reveals Himself.”

Spirituality is based on development of character and philosophy.

Love is not enjoyment. Love is being enjoyed.

Dancing together in kirtans can help us develop friendships that no Mediation Therapy can.

Even if you have done no wrong, no mistake in the last 50 years, remember the mistake you did 51 years ago and repent for it and become humble.

To protect any community, we need intelligence and to nourish it we need humility.

Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for.

Responsibility means to perform our service properly,with proper attitude, behavior and words.

To be meek and humble means to have a service attitude towards God, the Vaisnavas, and all living beings. Unless we have that, our chanting will have minimal effect and many births may pass before we finally come to the conclusion.

Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we’ve forgotten that it’s our essence.

Compassion is a quality which impels one to perform sacrifices.

The word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.

Lord’s love manifests in this world as compasssion.

Humility is the foundation by which love manifests.

Real responsibility means to live and speak in such a way as to help peoples faith and not to disturb it.

If we have strong desire then God miraculously removes obstacles and gives us the power to overcome them.

Real compassion means to understand what the needs for body, mind and soul are.

Novels aren’t pedagogical instruments, or instructions in law or physics or any other discipline.

The one infallible sign that a spiritual teacher is a fraud is that he charges money for his instruction.

To bring a child into existence without a fair prospect of being able, not only to provide food for its body, but instruction and training for its mind is a moral crime, both against the unfortunate offspring and against society.

In our system, we leave questions of fact to a jury. But to render a verdict, a jury must know the law. For this, we rely upon jury instructions.

Instructions are supposed to translate the law into lay terms that the jury can apply to the facts as they determine them.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

I never did anything, great or small, without obtaining in advance express instructions from Adolf Hitler or any of my superiors.

Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again for, like true friends, they will never fail us – never cease to instruct – never cloy.
