Humility is the foundation by which love manifests.
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

There is false humility and genuine humility and between them, there is a desire of the practitioner to become humble.
Radhanath Swami

Bhakti cannot be attained, it is a gift.

Out of all the opulences of a living entity its humility which pleases Krishna. Other opulences can also please Krishna if offered with humility.

Success in spiritual life lies not in being the Best, but doing the Best.
Radhanath Swami

That is truth. In that truth, there is real happiness. And there is nothing that could disturb that happiness.
Radhanath Swami
Image
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
Image
In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.
Radhanath Swami
Image
Materialism is the consciousness of wanting to exploit and enjoy.
Radhanath Swami
Image
If you love God, you can't hate anything or anyone. If the love one offers is met with hate, it doesn't die, rather it manifests in the form of compassion. That is universal love. It is not just a sentiment. It cannot be manifested merely by a shift in mental disposition. It can only come from inner cleaning, an inner awakening.
Radhanath Swami
Image
The more one makes spiritual advancement, one feels humble and as one's devotion is superficial that much he feels that he is a great devotee.
Radhanath Swami
Image
Renunciation doesn't mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.
Radhanath Swami
Image
The essence of spiritual life is simply to use our free will properly.
Radhanath Swami
Image
Whoever we are, wherever we are, however we are, whatever our condition is, there is no impediment to attaining the perfection of life-if we are humble & sincere.
