Pure devotional service fries the seeds of material inclinations in our heart.

When we face difficulties and still remain faithful to Krishna and spiritual master we access the infinite mercy of their hearts.

Compassion is a quality which impels one to perform sacrifices.

I know people who are both extremely wealthy, people who are middle class and people with little material wealth. Whatever their circumstance may be, they are every bit as renounced as monks because they have that spirit. The spirit of charity on a spiritual platform. The Bhagavad Gita explains that real wisdom is when we see every living being with equal vision. When we love God, we naturally love our neighbor as our self, as the Bible also tells us.

We can't really digest food unless there's hunger. So we can't really assimilate spiritual wisdom unless we feel the need for it.

The challenge of co-operation in today's age of quarrel can be achieved by adjusting every situation according to the higher principle of loving God.

If you do some wonderful service and if you tell people what you did in a boastful way, it nullifies the credit of your service, may not be in the eternal platform, but in your conscious condition you will not be able to reap the benefits of that service.
