  1. Of all disgraceful behavior, there is nothing worse than ingratitude.

    maharaj says at other place

  5. We do need an enlightened personality like Radhanath Swami to tell us what should be the goal of our life. Thank you.

  11. Very important quote to always remember and practice in spiritual life. We should always be grateful to the devotees, without them we can’t survive.

  12. I have reminded myself many times not to take senior devotees lightly. Its because of them that I have come to this wonderful spiritual path. Radhanath Swami reminds us of the essential spiritual principles like gratitude time and again.

  15. Very true, we forget, how much other person has done for us in past. Thank you Radhanath Swami. I will try to rember this.

  17. it is very truly said by Radhanath Swami as we become close to any person we want him to be a perfect person although we are not and we find faults with him instead of seeing his/her good qualities.

  19. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for the caution while dealing with the devotees in a family and also in the larger family of devotees.

  29. So true – we start to take things for granted and don’t consider whether we deserve what we get, rather we complain if we don’t get.

  31. Radhanath Swami is so true, when we become too familiar then we take the relationship for granted.

  34. Yes, I am experiencing this in my life. When we are familiar, we tend to commit mistakes and ignore other parties greatness.

  35. By this statement Radhanath Maharaj shows that we should not be careless in dealings with anyone no matter how close we are.

  39. Radhanath Swami is pointing to the well-known adage ‘Familiarity breeds contempt’. We need to heed Maharaj’s words very diligently, lest we commit any Vaishnava offence.

  43. Just as I heard before – Being Casual means Casualty. Wonderful quote by Radhanath Swami.

  46. Radhanath Swami’s quote has dawned upon a realisation that “contempt” is same as “Lack of Gratitude” !!

  47. Thank you Radhanath Swami for reminding me to be respectful in dealings with familiar devotees.

  49. Radhanath Swami says elsewhere, the greatest sin is to be ungrateful. Radhanath Swami teaches us how to be grateful to God every moment of life.

  50. Wait a minute…. if I am not wrong I have heard that this holds true with only the conditioned souls. Better to check out with the admin of this site

  53. There is a saying – ‘Familiarity breeds contempt’, this in turns leads to lack of gratitude and thereby leading to taking people for granted.

  55. Being familiar means we take people and events for granted, thereby lacking appreciation for our great fortune.

  58. So we should be friendly with all but not get to familiar with anyone… profound advice by Radhanath Swami.

  60. It is very true that the more closely we associate with someone the more fault we find in him and this leads to lack of gratitude towards that person

  62. Very true. this is always the case. need to be extra careful with the familiar people.
    Thanks Radhanath Swami Maharaj for this quote.

  63. Spiritual culture teaches respect for others – even insignificant living entities, and respecting others means gratefulness towards God. Quite profound statement from Radhanath Swami !

  64. such a deep statement..how much I should be careful while delaing with familar people to make sure I still remain grateful
