According to our purpose, motivation and sincerity, which compose our devotion, Krishna reveals Himself to us.

There were the physical challenges of hitchhiking across Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan as they were quite dangerous areas. I wrote about that in The Journey Home. I loved my family and they loved me, so making a choice so completely different from the life they knew was also a challenge. Not having material possessions or the security of a home and taking vows of celibacy for life were kind of natural for me, although they were also challenging. But I guess the greatest challenge for me was that I loved so many different spiritual paths.

A devotee's life should be so exemplary that it increases the faith upon other devotees.

Krishna exalts those who are humble and humbles those who exalt themselves.

There cannot be love without trust and there cannot be trust unless we take the responsibility to act in a way that people can trust us.

When we recognize how precious and truly glorious we are, then we become humbled by that and recognize everyone's true spiritual identity. And then our greatest joy is in sharing.

Remembrance is a necessary expression of love, internally.
