  1. Very inspiring! thank you for the wonderful advice. Circumstances and situations are beyond our control, but how we react to it and adjust is in our hands. Our lives will much more peaceful and smoother if we try to follow this principle.

  2. Changing consciousness is the key….! I remember Maharaj saying that every situation is a blessing, if we actually recognize it. During reversals, If we cannot recognize the blessing, we need to pray to the Lord to reveal the same.

  3. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful principle.If only we can apply this principle to our lives of changing our consciousness in every situation.

  4. adjustments are ever required no matter wherever you go and whomsoever you are with. the above thought is quite relevant

  5. somewhere i read that we should know we are not the controller…we are always controlled.

  6. Krishna wants us to adjust to the circumstances and carry on our devotional service. This is the principle. We cannot always change the circumstances, but we can adjust out consciousness. – Radhanath Swami

  7. adjustment is such a crucial step if we take a little step it can stop us from landing in trouble.

    1. Yes many times we land in troubles because we don’t adjust our consciousness and try to change the circumstances.

  8. Very precise quote….many times situations may not be favorable, these quotes offers wisdom how to react in such circumstances. Lord Krishna is pleased by unmotivated, selfless devotional service.

    1. yah its practical also most of the time circumstances are not in our control but we can control our consciousness, it depends how we choose to do it

      1. integrity would be the most important factor in those circumstances.

  9. Very practical quote…if we apply in life surely we can always KC in any situation/circumstances…thank you Maharaj…

  10. Radhanath Swami himself has been teaching this principle by his own life’s example

  11. Very meaningful and significant quote……Instead of affecting by unfavorable circumstances, such amazing quotes offers solutions to such circumstances. Thank you very much for sharing for this valuable quote.

  12. Extremely practical advice by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj! Also, it emphasizes that we can perform devotional service under any circumstances!

  13. A very appropriate and practical advice from HH Radhanath Swami. It is like one cannot stop the rain from falling but can save oneself by adjusting to use an umbrella and be saved.

    1. Very well put Piyush ji; Also, there is a lot of preparaion needed to adjust to situations, just like we have to go to the market and purchase umbrella much in advance before the rains. Similarly we have to take shelter of the Lord to be able to adjust in this way

  14. HH Radhanath Maharaj’s quote is the best remedy to become serene when situation is not within our control.

  15. ” We cannot always change the circumstances, but we can adjust our consciousness.”-so true.
