We get sufferings in life so that we become sober and listen to Krishna's message.

Fierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord.

In my own spiritual journey, I became a swami on the Hindu path of Bhakti. In the Hindu tradition, a swami is a monk who forgoes regular family life for the purpose of making the whole world his family and channels his full energy into spiritual practice, devotion to God and service to humanity.

If we see the body we live in as a temple used to engage in beautiful activities in the service of God's children, then we recognize it as spiritual. But if we use our body for more selfish purposes, then we're only experiencing its material conception.

We 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.

Bhakti and Humility cannot be separated like sweetness cannot be separated from sweet.

The most transformative and gentle humility and pride. But they transform in opposite ways.
