“To measure whether it is humility or depression, check whether you are advancing spiritually or going down.”

Death is not big thing, what is important is God’s service.

Greatness is in not what you do but how you are an instrument in the hands of God.

When you take a position, you have to accept responsibilities.

Sometimes the Lord gives us a free sample of religious experience, but for more, we must pay a price with the currency of sincere dedication to the process of cleansing.

We have to seek the essence of all religions; then we can see how spirituality actually unites us and empowers us instead of breaking us down.

When we face difficulties and still remain faithful to Krishna and spiritual master we access the infinite mercy of their hearts.

The joy of the soul is in glorification of the beloved Lord of all creation.

Real humility does not depress you, but allows you to call intensely and brings us closer to Krishna.

I had my moments of being humiliated, and then I had moments of doing something humiliating. I’m glad I lived out both roles.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

Humility must always be doing its work like a bee making honey in the hive: without humility all will be lost.

Humility is to make a right estimate of one’s self. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought, though it might rather puzzle him to do that.

So much about living life, to me, is about humility and gratitude. And I’ve tried very hard to have those qualities and be that person and I’m just so disappointed in myself that I allowed it to slip.

I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.

The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
