Religious and spiritual leaders should be held accountable for environmental activism, not only because they have access to large communities and can influence votes, but because service is integral to religious and spiritual life.
Bhakti yoga is the science of transforming material into spiritual by harmonizing our relationships, talents, and property in devotion to the Lord.
Spiritual advancement without mind control is simply an illusion.
The tears of separation between two Vaishnavas, when they are based on knowledge and truth, are one of the most elevated and one of the most purifying of all spiritual experiences.
The real definition of success from spiritual perspective is when one is able to seek the essence and see the hand of God in every situation.
To make spiritual advancement we have to be very attentive in our dealings with our mind.
Great souls are merciful. Srila Prabhupada was pleased with the little things that someone did, even if that person had all bad qualities. His being pleased was his mercy, because he knew that if he was not pleased, Krishna will not be pleased and if Krishna was not pleased there was no hope for that person’s spiritual advancement.
Nothing spiritual can really be understood in truth without the mercy of the Lord. We cannot grasp Krishna by our intelligence, memory or any of our material talents or attributes. We use all these things in His service.
Unless we hear very strictly with great faith to the order of our spiritual master, we will not understand what the mercy of Krishna is and how it is coming upon us.
When spiritual ideals form the foundation of a relationship, the relationship can survive whatever challenges may arise.
Actually, when your heart is pained to see the suffering of others, it awakens actual spiritual ecstasy. Why? As it is pleasing Krishna, and we are sharing Krishna’s spirit of love in a mood of servitude.
If one is serious about making spiritual advancement, one must discipline his time.
Our spiritual advancement is based on how Krishna sees us.
When we know that we don’t know anything, it means we know something, but when we know that we know something, it means we don’t know anything. This is spiritual geometry.
Every moment is perfect and sacred, and a divine power has engineered it in some imperceptible way and woven it into our intricate tapestry of life for our spiritual progress.
If a spiritual person has love, peace, self-control & compassion, we can understand that he/she is actually connected properly to his/her roots…
When we hear a spiritual discourse, we may feel we already know it, but when it comes to application, we forget it. Thus, it’s very important to practice spirituality for the practical application of spiritual knowledge.
A devotee is pleased when he sees others receive the mercy of the Spiritual master and the Lord. He is never envious of anyone.
Whenever we know ourselves spiritually, we naturally know others too, we know them in their spiritual essence, and then our relationships are deep, forever, and limitlessly meaningful.
Words of Spiritual Master are the energy of Lord Balrama.
Our spiritual progress depends on Service Attitude & our Sincere Chanting.
