When we are honoured for a thing, we become attached to that thing.
If somebody praises us and if we have any humility we will feel totally like a fool.
We get sufferings in life so that we become sober and listen to Krishna's message.
Reducing carbon emissions is important, but it is shortsighted if not coupled with reducing the toxic emissions from our heart; and that is something spiritual leaders are supposed to teach and something all thinking people, regardless of their beliefs, should practice.
Genuine spiritual movement should forgive and encourage.
Substance of Bhakti is Surrender and Humility.
