When the kirtan is harmonious with so many people, it’s a tumultuous beautiful sound. We can’t hear just one voice during the chorus; or rather we do hear one voice. But that one voice is actually the sound of everyone’s voice in harmony. That’s our offering to God. And why is it so pleasing to the Lord? Because we are all cooperating for a higher purpose. We are all united for the pleasure of the center, for the pleasure of Krishna, in spite of all our differences.

Love is not enjoyment. Love is being enjoyed.

Detachment does not mean to neglect what Krishna gives you. Detachment means to do the needful as an offering to Krishna.

The only way we can make this world a better place is to transcend it.

Even when Krishna gives you strength, maya will delude you to think it is your strength.

In religion, there's a certain type of fear that if somebody believes differently from me, that it's a threat. Because I'm right, and there cannot be two ways that are right, so if I'm right, anything different than this must be wrong; and we attack those things and it's really due to insecurity, ego and fear.

By hearing from the Guru, we can understand what is the desire of Lord within our heart.
