If you do some wonderful service and if you tell people what you did in a boastful way, it nullifies the credit of your service, may not be in the eternal platform, but in your conscious condition you will not be able to reap the benefits of that service.
Radhanath SwamiIf there is no enjoyment in this world, there would not be so much suffering. As suffering really is the frustration of our attempts to enjoy.
Radhanath SwamiIn a relationship the way to overcome problems, is to focus our attention on higher principles that can help us transcend them.
Radhanath SwamiTrue renunciation can be attained by anyone - whether a millionaire, parent, student, politician, farmer or engineer. It's not what you have or don't have; it's your state of consciousness. In essence, it means that true peace that comes from true renunciation arrives when we understand that nothing is mine. Whatever intelligence I have, whatever abilities I have, whatever family members I have, whatever wealth or property I have, is the sacred property of God or the Divine.
Radhanath Swami
