Real religion is about, developing real character; character of compassion, character of humility, the character of determination to grow in all circumstances.

Opportunities are always there for us to grow, opportunities are always there for us to come closer to each other & come closer to God; if we just look for them.

What touches our hearts and impresses us deeper is sacrifice and humility, when we see someone accept the higher principle of cooperation, putting aside his/her own achievements.

To measur whether it is humility or depression, check whether you are advancing spiritually or going down.

COOPERATION means to be willing to sacrifice for the sake of others

When you advance in Krishna Consciousness it is more difficult to tolerate being honored than to tolerate being dishonored.

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.
