Radhanath Swami Quotes about Ignorance

  • When you trust a friend who is actually your enemy, then he can create a greatest damage. Ignorance is our greatest enemy.
  • God is like the sun, the source of all light. If we turn our back towards the sun we will only get the shadow or darkness. As there is no darkness in the sun similarly there is no bad or evil in God; there is only good and love in God. However, when we turn our back towards Him, we see only ignorance, darkness and His absence.
  • We should let the full moon of God’s presence glow in our hearts to dispel darkness and clear clouds of ignorance. When we perceive all living beings as brilliant illuminant stars and God as full moon then the real beauty and love manifests in our lives.
  • Every thought, word, deed performed in an attempt to find happiness apart from our service to God, further binds us, covers us and entangles us in ignorance.
