Humble people dont get Offended easily.
Krishna is present fully in His holy name and this is realized by the humility and sincerity in our chanting.
In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.
Out of all the opulences of a living entity its humility which pleases Krishna. Other opulences can also please Krishna if offered with humility.
Greatness is in not what you do but how you are an instrument in the hands of God.
The most transformative and gentle humility and pride. But they transform in opposite ways.
Materialism is the consciousness of wanting to exploit and enjoy.
Don't let a breath escape from your body without Krishna's name. That should be our determination throughout our life.
When you advance in Krishna Consciousness it is more difficult to tolerate being honored than to tolerate being dishonored.
A virtue which is divine is humility. A person who could do great things and still maintain humility of the heart, charity of the heart, goodness of the heart is a person who could actually make a difference in peoples lives in a very positive way.
Renunciation doesn't mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.
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.
