Radhanath Swami Quotes about Knowledge

  • In a person who understands the self, there can be no ego, there can be no hatred towards anyone. There can only be love, and there is compassion for those who are unfortunate. That is knowledge of the truth.
  • Man cannot be enlightened through any organization, creed, dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through understanding the contents of his own mind, through observation, not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.
  • 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 power that we have, the knowledge and influence that we have are beautiful gifts from GOD to be utilised to serve each other unconditionally.
  • 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.
