Radhanath Swami on Ignorance of People

Radhanath SwamiThere has never been a prison built by man that people haven’t figured out how to escape. But what kind of prison God has created…. no walls, no guards and although everyone is suffering in this world no one wants to get out.

  1. Very true! Our position is like that. We are staying this prison house of Maya not wanting to get out but keep enjoying here without understanding that we just have to look towards Krsna to get out of this prison house and be free!

  2. It is like checking into a hotel. You can check-out any time you like but you can never leave.
    Unless there is a guide who can show the way,we can never get out of this prison house.
    Thank you Swamiji.

  9. Inspite of having heard this so many times, I still dont get it. Hope and pray I will one day.

  10. I never felt I need to get out of this world until I took to spiritual life. I was so conditioned to accepting what came and adjusting to the material situation with reactions and actions that never seemed to end. But surrendering to God had changed me and cleansed my thoughts.Thank you Maharaj for guiding me through this way back to Godhead.

  13. So very true. Everything that Krishna does is miraculous. Radhanath Swami has this unique ability to see the wonders of this world and give a God conscious outlook to them.

  14. Thank you very much Radhanath Swami, for reminding me of my suffering position. Otherwise, the illusion of this world is so powerful doesnt allow us to realize that we are suffering and need to get out of the world.

  16. What an irony! But it takes a great soul like Radhanath Swami to reveal this simple fact to us. How blinded we are by the illusion of this world!

  19. I am stunned by Swamiji’s observations that actually I am not free, unless I accept the supremacy of God—-then the shackles are removed.

  21. What an amazing quote! Thank you very much Radhanath Swami for sharing your realizations.

  23. So true, there are no walls, no guards but we still want to be here and suffer. Unless we realize and understand the teachings of Gurus like Radhanath Swami what is the hope?

  24. Very correct. This material world is such kind of prison which does not have any walls and still people want to stay in this prison house. Great quote by Radhanath Swami.

  25. All Glories To H.H Radhanath Swami Maharaj

    How simple is this analogy but yet profound.

    Hare Krishna

  28. This is another side of how God is all powerful. ANother way thru which Radhanath swami has brought out greatness of God

  29. What an excellent thought by Radhanath swami. Really it is simply amazing creation by God even though there are so much suffering people want to enjoy and live long in this prison.

  31. Radhanath Swami hitting the point: There is no happiness in this material world. Thank you for reminding this.

  32. So true…unless one comes in touch with sincere teachers like Radhanath Swami, it is very hard to realize that material world is like prison.

  34. Yes, God has provided enough pleasure in this world for man to want to stay here inspite of his suffering. This is the ingenious prison He has created!

  36. very true, even we don’t doubt that we are in prison… Just by holy Man’s words of wisdom like Radhanath Swami we can really try to understand this reality.
