Before we can save the drowning person, we must become proficient swimmers. If we become convinced of the need of genuine spirituality and practice it in our life, our words and our examples will have a powerful effect on those around us and the world at large.
– Radhanath Swami
Very true! Unless we are convinced about the desperate need of spirituality in our lives, we cannot preach and convince others. Thank you for the advice.
As the saying goes, “practice what you preach.” What ever action a great man performs, the common people follow.
Thank you Swamiji
Very nice example of swimming. Really we have to be first convinced before trying to convince others.
Thank you HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj for sharing this.
Thank you Radhanath swami for giving us the message that we should preach by our own example.
This quote inherently explains us to preach by example which Radhanath swami is preaching by example.
Really great quote.Because every one likes to preach whether they follow or not.First we should follow then only we should tell.Thank you maharaj
Amazing!
Thank you for this wonderful quote.
Yes, charity begins at home and so we have to practice ourself before we preach.
Yes very true.
Thanks Radhanath Swami for encouraging us to continue putting our efforts to purify ourselves by practicing the Krishna Consciousness in our lives and showing the world the divine path of pure devotional service.
This is amazingly true. If we want our words to be effective , we need to apply the teachings to our own lives…
