I try to maintain balance and apply principles the best I can in my daily life. What is the difference between material and spiritual? We are taught that, "God is perfect, ultimately everything that comes from God is perfect." If we fail to recognize something's relationship with the ultimate source, we fail to recognize how to live and utilize things in harmony with God's grace.
Radhanath SwamiFierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord.
Radhanath SwamiWhen the kirtan is harmonious with so many people, itโs a tumultuous beautiful sound. We canโt hear just one voice during the chorus; or rather we do hear one voice. But that one voice is actually the sound of everyoneโs voice in harmony. Thatโs our offering to God. And why is it so pleasing to the Lord? Because we are all cooperating for a higher purpose. We are all united for the pleasure of the center, for the pleasure of Krishna, in spite of all our differences.
