This world is full of uncertainties, and you can never change that. Therefore the intelligent person, rather than simply trying to adjust the environment, tries to adjust his own consciousness. And for this reason the process of self realization has been taught by great saintly persons of various religious, throughout history.
- Radhanath Swami
What keeps us bound to this world is our very deep rooted tendency to take credit for the good we do, to take credit for the good that we don’t do, and to give blame for the bad that we do.
- Radhanath Swami
We cannot force our way into the spiritual world. We cannot force our way to realization. Everything can only come by mercy. God bestows his mercy and reveals himself according to the devotional love that we have.
- Radhanath Swami
Our consciousness and our motivations in life are like spectacles having different colors, which make everything appear tainted. Association of saintly people and regular spiritual practices give us the vision and the philosophical ideal which help us see the world clearly.
- Radhanath Swami
The purpose of saintly people is to teach society how to utilize their talents, their gifts and their particular position to become liberated rather than become entangled, and how they can do great benefit for the world, rather than add to the world’s problems.
- Radhanath Swami
The tendency in this world is that something has to thoroughly shake us up for us to really take shelter of the Lord.
- Radhanath Swami
The basic principle of every original religion in this world is discipline.
- Radhanath Swami
The problem in this world is because people are spiritually undisciplined, simply motivated by selfishness and greed.
- Radhanath Swami
All the conflicts in this world are simply born of people whose propensity to love is frustrated to different degrees.
-Radhanath Swami
