In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.

In a relationship the way to overcome problems, is to focus our attention on higher principles that can help us transcend them.

I traveled around America and then at nineteen, went to Europe and hitchhiked from London to the Himalayas in India. I studied various forms of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and in India, various forms of Buddhism and Hinduism. Eventually, I came to the path of unconditional love and devotion to the one God, who in our tradition we call Krishna. I met my guru and became a swami. This allowed me to share that gift, which I consider to be a very deep universal expression of compassion.

Tolerance means to fix our mind, to fix our words, & our actions on a higher principle.

Compassion without detachment is attachment to the bodily platform.

When you have an ego, you are limited to your own strengths and weaknesses. But if you are totally surrendered to God, nothing is impossible for you.

In Kali yuga, whole atmosphere is surcharged with faithlessness, Material sense gratification is standard of civilization.
