Radhanath Swami Quotes about Soul

  • Soul is like the moon. All the situations in our lives, relationships, youth etc. are like the clouds. Time is like the wind. Just like the wind moves the clouds, time moves all the situations in our life. But the soul is always the same. So we should focus on the eternal soul and not on the temporary situations. One who focuses on the soul is a moon like person.
  • Love can be a very mystical and mysterious thing because love springs from the very inner depths of our soul. It does not arise from the ever-changing tides of our mind or intellect.
  • Suffering of the soul means to be without Krishna.
  • The art of living is to achieve a balance between the awkwardness of our body and the elegance of our soul.
  • It’s not the body that people love, but the soul. The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver. I see through my eyes, smell through my nose, taste through my tongue, hear through my ears, feel through my skin, think through my brain, and love through my heart. But who am I? Who is the witness, enjoyer and sufferer that activates my body?
  • For the imperishable soul, this lifetime is just a single pencil point in a long line of many lifetimes.
  • We can only know to the extent that God reveals to us. Because factually, whatever we see, by the time it comes to our consciousness, it’s filtered through our contaminated mind and our bewildered ego. So what really can we know in truth? This is the condition of the soul.
  • A sincere soul is not trying to make a show. His enthusiasm is an act of service.
  • If one has little simplicity at heart, then one can achieve the mercy of a great soul and that becomes the very means to attain the life’s perfection.
