  1. Replace negative with good and positive behaviour. We can progress spiritually when we replace our lower natures with a higher purpose of life.

  3. Wonderful quote by Radhanath Swami. Simply negating the negatives does address only the symptoms of a disease. But when we replace the negatives with the positives addresses the root cause and then there is no chance of resurrection of negativity.

    1. And that’s what Krishna Consciousness is all about. It’s about “Not sublimating but subjugating our desires”. That way we move from material realm to the spiritual realm. Bhakti means just connecting your desires to the desires/will of God.

  4. As they say you can only give up bad habits by replacing them with good habits. Similarly HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj points out a very important principle in order to progress spiritually. As Rupa Goswami says in NOD – things that help us progress in spiritual life should be taken up and things that impede our progress should be given up. thank you.

    1. Yes Anand. That’s very true. Radhanath swami has aptly pointed out the formula for spiritual progress.

    2. So well said! The real growth is that which helps us regain spiritual consciousness!

    3. Indeed. This is very practical point. Often people give so much stress on giving up bad habits not knowing tat they will return again unless a positive replacement is planned for the same.

    4. Very true! Bhagavad Gita talks about losing taste in lower things by getting higher taste. If we chant, we get spiritual taste which overcomes our tendency to fall into material world.
