More quotes by Radhanath Swami
Krishna is present fully in His holy name and this is realized by the humility and sincerity in our chanting.
Radhanath Swami
Speak the essence and live by it.
Radhanath Swami
In religion, there's a certain type of fear that if somebody believes differently from me, that it's a threat. Because I'm right, and there cannot be two ways that are right, so if I'm right, anything different than this must be wrong and we attack those things and it's really due to insecurity, ego and fear.
Radhanath Swami
We have a mind, but we are the consciousness within the body and mind. I'm in my body but I am the eternal soul full of knowledge and bliss, unborn and undying. And the natural quality of the soul, uncovered from the ego and all our misconceptions, is unconditional love for the all-beautiful Lord.
Radhanath Swami
In this world, all pleasures are sources of pain.
Radhanath Swami
Whereas religious prayers sing of peace and harmony, religion has divided human beings through an atrocious history of enmity and bloodshed. Yet, behind the veil of superficiality and hypocrisy, I always believed in the inherent beauty of God that lies at the essence of all true spiritual paths.
Radhanath Swami
In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.
Radhanath Swami
There cannot be love without trust and there cannot be trust unless we take the responsibility to act in a way that people can trust us.
Radhanath Swami
Renunciation means death of false ego.
Radhanath Swami
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.
Radhanath Swami
We should honor Mother Earth with gratitude otherwise our spirituality may become hypocritical.
Radhanath Swami
Spirituality is based on development of character and philosophy.
Radhanath Swami
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.
Radhanath Swami
To purify the heart is the one and only purpose that God has created this human life.
Radhanath Swami
Even when Krishna gives you strength, maya will delude you to think it is your strength.
Radhanath Swami
Whatever our destiny is, whatever our Karma is, if we simply accept the mercy of Guru, Guru Kripa, it can completely liberate us from all of our previous Karmic bondage.
Radhanath Swami
There is false humility and genuine humility and between them, there is a desire of the practitioner to become humble.
Radhanath Swami
If our mind is in conflict, not balanced with our body and with the needs of the soul, then there is a fundamental disunity in our life. Only if we have unity within ourselves, we can create unity in the world around us. You can't give something you don't have, even if you have all good intentions
Radhanath Swami
Service is life. No service means, spiritually no life.
Radhanath Swami
Man cannot be enlightened through any organization, creed, dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through understanding the contents of his own mind, through observation, not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.
