According to our purpose, motivation and sincerity, which compose our devotion, Krishna reveals Himself to us.
Radhanath SwamiAn athlete gains more & more strength by facing resistance. Similarly in life, we only become stronger when we face the resistance of our struggles.
Radhanath SwamiIf we seek the essence of every situation, if we seek to connect to God within our hearts, then we will find an opportunity there, to grow internally in wisdom in every trial we face.
Radhanath SwamiCompassion brings fulfillment to the heart. Selfish desires simply agitate the heart.
Radhanath SwamiThere 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.
