He who tries to understand God simply by logical arguments will not succeed. If one develops love for God by following his instructions, one can know the supreme absolute truth. By Radhanath Swami

Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for. – Radhanath Swami

The way to love and unity is giving credit and glory to each other. Then there is no competition and envy. – 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
Radhanath Swami on The Love of God
God wants to give all of his love to us, and all he wants in return is whatever little love a soul has. We just offer that love to him and all the love he has, as the Supreme Lord, he is willing to give us that in return. – Radhanath Swami
Radhanath Swami on The Vision of God
God sees not only our bodies, but he sees our desires, motivations, intentions, and he is only pleased when there is love. If we do not have love in our hearts, God sees, but he is not pleased to see us. – Radhanath Swami

Radhanath Swami on Pure love of God
Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we’ve forgotten that it’s our essence. – Radhanath Swami
Radhanath Swami on Love
Love means reciprocation. Therefore, you can’t love buildings or cars or money because there is no reciprocation. – Radhanath Swami
Radhanath Swami on Human Nature
Human nature is that everyone essentially wants to love and be loved. If we show affection people open up and we can disarm them of their prejudices against us. – Radhanath Swami
