71 comments

1. Fantastic Quote ! We actually need active engagements for mind heart and soul ! HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj is depicting the want of service which is nothing but active engagement ! The peace of mind will automatically come when we remain in service !
   Thank You HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj for making us understand the connection between Love and Service ! Superb !

   1. Great point! Srila Prabhupad always used to say that in devotional service, we are always busy positively, therefore there is no time for devotees to get diverted from real goal of human life.

2. thank u maharaja. hare krishna. U r focused on essence or substance than just external things. hare krishna.

3. Bliss can be experienced only with loving service to the Lord who is the Supreme Person.
   Only peace cannot give us that bliss.
   Thank you.

   1. Yes true! If one longs for love, then he is automatically always peaceful. Without love, there cannot be any peace.

4. Selfless service is indeed manifestation of Pure Love and is way beyond peace…..! One can sleep while in peace but how long? The soul actually hankers for (active) love and not just (passive) peace. The soul is satisfied with love even in the absence of so called peace. Thank You Maharaj for making it clear.

   1. Amazing point! Therefore, great saints like Radhanath Swami Maharaj always stresses upon having loving relationship among devotees where they can share their thoughts with open mind.

5. Service to the supreme lord is the only peace formula.

6. real unadulterated love is the need of the hour.

7. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful message.

8. Very true and inspiring. Thank you maharaj.

9. Thank you maharaj for a wonderful quote.

10. It’s really a very deep level of understanding about the Love. Thank you.

    1. yes love means not to excpect but to serve unconditionally

11. Today I goT the Real meaning of the word LOVE. It is true in all relationships..

12. Such a fact!!!

13. great love is not about the peace… but service.

14. Wonderful & inspiring quote

15. HH Radhanath Swami gives a very simple explanation of subtle topics. Easy to understand and imbibe for sincere seekers on devotional path. Hare Krishna.

16. this is a very rare and unknown concept unventured by the common people but definately worth exploring

17. wonderful quote. such a wonderful definition of love. to serve. thank you maharaj for such a wonderful realisation

    1. other than journey home is there any book that radhanath swami has written?

       1. Yes I heard the book is published in 2015 at many locations, it is called “The Journey Within”

18. wonderful quote

19. a new definition of love

20. Very nice quote by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

21. wow this seams to me a new definition of love and actually its quite logical also, because for love one has to have relationship and relationship only can built when we try to do something for that person and that is nothing but the service

    1. You are really right Mr. White. Real love calls for selfless service, that is the true spirit in any relationship to sustain. This will happen only if we keep God as center in all our relationships. Others are only external tiilation which perish during the course of time.

22. Wonderful & inspiring quote. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

23. Substance of the Real Love!!

24. Without service there is no question of love

25. Nice quote by HH Radhanath Swami

26. It is so important to internalize this truth that it is service to God that is our real natur and our real need

27. That’s a wonderful and innovative definition of Love. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj

    1. today definitions are only based on externals.. here there is a deeper meaning. makes a lot of sense..

       1. if world start understanding this definition, there will be more harmony

          1. Yes. That’s very true.

          2. You are right dear Jeff. Radhanath Swami gives really an universal understanding of love. Service is the eternal companion of any living entity which can not be separated. When we render this service with Krishna as center, all the relationships flourish and universal peace is established automatically.

28. Thank you very much for sharing,

29. Very wonderful quote and very deep.

30. Wonderful definition of love from Maharaj!

31. Maharaj highlighted the very important aspect of love: that is service and not enjoyment

32. Love is to serve: Thanks Radhanath Swami

33. Nice quote by Radhanath Swami which clearly gives a message that love demands not a passive inaction but a constant activity of serving and pleasing the beloved.

    1. True.

34. Wonderful quote from HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

35. inspiring quote…

36. Very nice quote…thank you Maharaj….

37. Very inspiring,

38. So true and worth contemplating. Radhanath Swami brings about such a deep concept to ponder upon.

39. The Lord Krishna is please by our loving devotional service, He becomes more please when it rendered in unfavorable situation like Prahlada Maharaj, Dhruva Maharaj did. I remember one enlightening quote by H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj that” Even accepting anxiety to please Krishna is much more better than finding peace for yourself.” Our ultimate aspiration is to love God through unmotivated and uninterrupted devotional service. Such quotes enhances enthusiasm to render service. Thank you for such profound wisdom.

    1. A very apt comment. Thank you very much for sharing the wonderful quote.

40. Very true..It is through service, we feel connected…

41. we often mistake the urge to have a peaceful and content situation for ourselves to serving and doing good to others, which may not be the right thing for people around us. Swamiji has poignantly uprooted this ill stature of the lower side of human nature which is pretty cool…!!!

    1. Yep. It’s really cool.

    2. does swamiji want to say that love means to serve beloved unconditionally.. and in doing so peace may or may not come to u…?

       1. Jeff, you’re right – however an additional point of elaboration would be that Love encompasses even peace, because it is situated on the platform of unconditional service.We do not have to extraneously try for peace. It comes automatically once we are established in unconditional service

          1. ohh great thank u very much navin.. i m looking forward for such life..

          2. that means peace is secondary to love right?

             1. you are right Laura !

          3. yes navin nice explanation.

    3. Well said Kalpeshji! Usually people miss out this important point. They probably don’t know that where there is love, there is peace automatically. However, the reverse is not always true.

42. Without service there is no question of love…without love, it will be only selfishness….thank you Maharaj…

43. Yes, Love means pure devotional service!

44. All the world wants peace. But they do not know that rendering service to the Supreme Lord can only bring peace. Thank you Radhanath Swami for this wonderful & inspiring quote.

    1. A perfect conclusion… Service to the supreme is the only peace formula.

45. Such a practical and holistic definition of Love from HH Radhanath Swami. Service is the criteria to assess the intensity of Love, without service any love is just some fluctuating sentimental feeling.

46. Such a profound meaning of Love…this is the way people should know….thank you Maharaj…

    1. Yes, if people know and practice this aspect of Love that will certainly help everyone.

47. Maharaj always gives focus on SEVICE.. PURE SERVICE.. again and again we get this lesson from maharaj.. love means to serve without any return expectation for pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Gopinath. Thank you. I hope one day this will go in my conciousness nicely.

    1. Yes.. Service is the main aspect in making spiritual advancement and HH Radhanath Swami always emphasizes on service so much.
