More quotes by Radhanath Swami
I came to the conclusion that unless I found myself and became the change I wanted to see in the world - as Gandhi said - I couldn't contribute much, nor would there be anything fulfilling or meaningful in my life. So I went on a spiritual search.
Radhanath Swami
That is truth. In that truth, there is real happiness. And there is nothing that could disturb that happiness.
Radhanath Swami
Essence of humility is unity.
Radhanath Swami
In this world, all pleasures are sources of pain.
Radhanath Swami
What appears to be a curse can be a blessing if we simply appreciate the inner essence of the possibility of how to connect to God in that situation.
Radhanath Swami
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.
Radhanath Swami
If we seek the essence of every situation, if we seek to connect to God within our hearts, then we will find an opportunity there, to grow internally in wisdom in every trial we face.
Radhanath Swami
Materialism is the consciousness of wanting to exploit and enjoy.
Radhanath Swami
Why are we not tasting the bliss of Bhakti? Because we are taking shelter of stone boats. We are sinking and drowning in Maya & still we are further taking shelter of stone boats and this can go on life after life.
Radhanath Swami
Bhakti cannot be attained, it is a gift.
Radhanath Swami
Faith is the act of seeing beyond the religion of possibility of the senses, the mind and the intelligence.
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
Theoretical knowledge can not touch heart without Humility
Radhanath Swami
Krishna is present fully in His holy name and this is realized by the humility and sincerity in our chanting.
Radhanath Swami
We must be instruments of God's compassion to those who are suffering.
Radhanath Swami
I took an interest in the Civil Rights Movement. I listened to Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was raging. When I was 18, I was eligible for the draft, but when I went to be tested, I didn't qualify.
Radhanath Swami
Humble people dont get Offended easily.
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.
Radhanath Swami
For a devotee death opens door for liberation but for a non-devotee death is end of everything.
Radhanath Swami
What really pleases the Spiritual Master is our intent and the quality of our character.
