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.

Real humility does not depress you, but allows you to call intensely and brings us closer to Krishna.

Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we've forgotten that it's our essence.

"I had Krishna and I have lost Him." That is humility.

To love someone in the spiritual sense is not based on how I want to love you; its based on what you want.

Don't let a breath escape from your body without Krishna's name. That should be our determination throughout our life.

Do not think that if you surrender to God you will be loser. You will not lose anything except bondage, frustration and suffering. That is all you will lose.
