Even when Krishna gives you strength, maya will delude you to think it is your strength.

The essence of spiritual life is simply to use our free will properly.

There is false humility and genuine humility and between them, there is a desire of the practitioner to become humble.

We can use wealth, intelligence, education or health in harmony with our compassionate spiritual nature, or we can use them according to the selfish concerns of our particular egos. We have choices as human beings. We can be saints or we can be terrorists. We can be peaceful or we can be miserable. When we see everything in the world as God's sacred property, then we're seeing the spiritual potential, the spiritual substance, everywhere.

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

I'd met so many enlightened spiritual teachers that it became a challenge to select one. I believed in the oneness of spirituality - unconditional love for God, and unconditional compassion for the beings of this world - but I also understood that unless I chose a particular path, I couldn't focus and take blessings from teachers that would allow me to have deep realizations and spiritual experiences.

Responsibility means to perform our service properly,with proper attitude, behavior and words.
