Responsibility means to perform our service properly,with proper attitude, behavior and words.
When you take responsibility over others you have to be actually Selfless.
Understand suffering is a part of my karma, otherwise you will spoil your future karma also.
Every time you are passing the test, you are coming closer to Krishna.
To love someone in the spiritual sense is not based on how I want to love you; its based on what you want.
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.
Real compassion means to understand what the needs for body, mind and soul are.
A devotee's life should be so exemplary that it increases the faith upon other devotees.
We, as parents, must understand the serious responsibility that we have in inculcating love for God in the hearts of children. If our children do not feel love they will not understand God’s love because the love of the parent is translated to the children as the love of God. When they feel their parents' love, they can actually begin to understand God’s love.
Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for.
We have the tendency to judge others by their surface appearance, and to find only their negative qualities. But if we search beneath the surface we discover that a myriad of strains mix together to create a particular person's nature. The faults we perceive are likely to be the effect of circumstances, the psychological response to trauma, abuse, rejection, heartbreak, insecurity, pain, confusion, or disease.
If a leader engages in sinful activity that becomes the standard, if he is strict that becomes the standard.
Simply performing devotional activities will not impart devotion to others but our consciousness should be absorbed.
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.
