In giving respect we can be very happy, because we can do it in all situations. When we expect respect we are miserable, because it is not that everyone in every situation will respect us.

More quotes by Radhanath Swami
Spirituality is revival of our God consciousness, not creating something new.
Radhanath Swami
Theoretical knowledge can not touch heart without Humility
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
Humility is not a part of devotional service, it is the heart of devotional service.
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
Enthusiasm and eagerness give life to our devotional service.
Radhanath Swami
In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.
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
Devotees are not impressed by the poverty or wealth in material sense in any way what impresses is devotion.
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
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.
Radhanath Swami
Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we've forgotten that it's our essence.
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
Do not offend devotees or even non-devotees. Because all those whom we know as devotees today were once not devotees.
Radhanath Swami
When we are honoured for a thing, we become attached to that thing.
Radhanath Swami
The cause of so much suffering and pain and one of the impediments to our spiritual progress, is the conditioning of expecting things to go our way, even in our spiritual life.
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
Giving up pride means giving all credit and glory to Guru and Krishna.
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
