To measur whether it is humility or depression, check whether you are advancing spiritually or going down.
Radhanath SwamiWhen 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.
Radhanath SwamiWe have to seek the essence of all religions; then we can see how spirituality actually unites us and empowers us instead of breaking us down.
Radhanath SwamiSometimes the Lord gives us a free sample of religious experience, but for more, we must pay a price with the currency of sincere dedication to the process of cleansing.
Radhanath SwamiAll beautiful forms of this world are in the process of transformation. Nothing is stable. With every moment, our reality is changing. Mother Ganges, like nature, is constant, but no manifestation of hers remains. Likewise, all that we hold dear in this world is imperceptibly vanishing. We cannot cling to anything. But if we can appreciate the beauty of the underlying current of truth, we can enjoy a reality deeper than the fickle waves of joy and sorrow.
Radhanath Swami
