We should honor Mother Earth with gratitude; otherwise our spirituality may become hypocritical.
To be meek and humble means to have a service attitude towards God, the Vaisnavas, and all living beings. Unless we have that, our chanting will have minimal effect and many births may pass before we finally come to the conclusion.
Materialism is the consciousness of wanting to exploit and enjoy.
Where there is no inner freedom, there is no life.
Humility is a natural symptom of those who love God.
Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we've forgotten that it's our essence.
