More quotes by Radhanath Swami
The only way we can make this world a better place is to transcend it.
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
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
Humility is the foundation by which love manifests.
Radhanath Swami
Do not think that if you surrender to God you will be loser. You will not lose anything except bondage, frustration and suffering. That is all you will lose.
Radhanath Swami
Do not offend devotees or even non-devotees. Because all those whom we know as devotees today were once not devotees.
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 see the body we live in as a temple used to engage in beautiful activities in the service of God's children, then we recognize it as spiritual. But if we use our body for more selfish purposes, then we're only experiencing its material conception.
Radhanath Swami
The joy of the soul is in glorification of the beloved Lord of all creation.
Radhanath Swami
When you take a position, you have to accept responsibilities.
Radhanath Swami
In this world, all pleasures are sources of pain.
Radhanath Swami
You can not understand Scripture without seeing through the eyes of the Spiritual Master or Advanced Devotees.
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
Theoretical knowledge can not touch heart without Humility
Radhanath Swami
Bhakti cannot be attained, it is a gift.
Radhanath Swami
If we feel unqualified and feel grateful for an opportunity to serve, then Krishna will bestow in our hearts.
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
Compassion is an essential element of love.
Radhanath Swami
Humility is not a part of devotional service, it is the heart of devotional service.
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.
