Definition of love: capacity to forgive endlessly.
Enthusiasm and eagerness give life to our devotional service.
When object of our anxiety is God, then that brings ecstacy.
Renunciation doesn't mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.
Do not offend devotees or even non-devotees. Because all those whom we know as devotees today were once not devotees.
In giving respect we can be very happy, because we can do it in all situations. When we expect respect we are miserable, because it is not that everyone in every situation will respect us.
Crying out to the lord is the only eternal reality within this temporary world.
If we have strong desire then God miraculously removes obstacles and gives us the power to overcome them.
Giving up pride means giving all credit and glory to Guru and Krishna.
The more serious you are about spiritual life, the more you keep your mind in captivity.
The more we are happy in Krishna Consciousness, the more we become purified.
