In a relationship the way to overcome problems, is to focus our attention on higher principles that can help us transcend them.
Why are we not tasting the bliss of Bhakti? Because we are taking shelter of stone boats. We are sinking and drowning in Maya & still we are further taking shelter of stone boats and this can go on life after life.
Pridelessness is negative good; humility is positive good.
Humility is all about being truthful and honest.
Essence of humility is unity.
To measur whether it is humility or depression, check whether you are advancing spiritually or going down.
A virtue which is divine is humility.
Humility is not a part of devotional service, it is the heart of devotional service.
Humility is an ornament which attracts Krishna's heart. Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility.
Our humble service attitude in our life is what determines what effect chanting will have on our consciousness. Otherwise we can be chanting for millions and millions of births before we actually achieve the goal.
The worst tragedy is that this uncontrolled mind steals our consciousness away from Krishna and that is the beginning, the essence of all suffering.
Compassion without detachment is attachment to the bodily platform.
We must be instruments of God's compassion to those who are suffering.
Preacher is an instrument of compassion, not an instrument of wrath.
