Humility is an ornament which attracts Krishna's heart. Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility.

When there is love in our heart, only love will come out.

An athlete gains more & more strength by facing resistance. Similarly in life, we only become stronger when we face the resistance of our struggles.

When the mind is turbulent, uncontrolled and restless, it is like a pond of water that is filled with mud. Therefore when we look within ourselves, all we perceive is the mud of our material conceptions of life. But when the mind is still through discipline, and through yoga, it is like a pond that has no waves and no turbulence. Then we can perceive through that crystal clear water the eternal nature of our soul.

The cause of so much suffering and pain and one of the impediments to our spiritual progress, is the conditioning of expecting things to go our way, even in our spiritual life.

What really pleases the Spiritual Master is our intent and the quality of our character.

Pure devotional service fries the seeds of material inclinations in our heart.
