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

We must be instruments of God's compassion to those who are suffering.

When we recognize how precious and truly glorious we are, then we become humbled by that and recognize everyone's true spiritual identity. And then our greatest joy is in sharing.

If we seek the essence of every situation, if we seek to connect to God within our hearts, then we will find an opportunity there, to grow internally in wisdom in every trial we face.

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

The more we are happy in Krishna Consciousness, the more we become purified.

The flip side of happiness is suffering.
