Real compassion means to understand what the needs for body, mind and soul are.

The word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.

Real problem is not population explosion, but what the population is doing.

Real humility does not depress you, but allows you to call intensely and brings us closer to Krishna.

In religion, there's a certain type of fear that if somebody believes differently from me, that it's a threat. Because I'm right, and there cannot be two ways that are right, so if I'm right, anything different than this must be wrong; and we attack those things and it's really due to insecurity, ego and fear.
