  5. Very nicely stated. If only those in the modern world realise how deep the meaning of this quote is things would change. Thank you Maharaj.

  11. Power surely corrupts if one does not takes the responsibility. so true for today’s politicians and leaders.

  12. Radhanath Swami has the perfect understanding of how to handle power. He doesnt ever make the person in front feel that he has power – he wins hearts with only compassion and purity.

  14. Today people with power are just utilizing for their own good and have forgotten the RESPOSIBILITIES that come along… Maharaj is teaching all of us by his example.. JAI !!!

  15. very true. otherwise power also brings pride and arrogance within person by which he can misuse it. thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for the quote.

  19. history is evidence that how havoc is created when one has power but no humility. Radhanath Swami is here addressing the root cause of some of the major problems of today’s world with this small quote.

  20. HH Radhanath Swami says “The great thing is not about having power,the great thing is how you use your power.” from his book ‘Soul-wise’.

  22. That is the test of success. Its easy to get power but tifficult to deliver our responsibilities coming with that power.

  23. Everyone is mad to get power but no one thinks of the responsibility. Radhanath Swami is so nicely describing what to do once we get power.

  24. Very true.with power comes responsibility. The more power the position of a person more is the responsibility of the person.

  27. So true. In all walks of like power comes with lot of responsibilities.
    In kaliyuga everybody wants power without responsibilities.

  28. Radhanath Swami is mentioning the importance of utilizing the power with responsibility.

  34. As we say in management terms, authority without responsibility leads to exploitation of others

  35. If one understands the huge responsibility that power brings, most probably he will shy away from power. Those who dont understand this, run after power and act irresponsibly.

  37. I heard this one in Spiderman movie too. But of course, we can understand even Spiderman takes inspiration from Radhanath Swami!

  38. The increasing troubles in this world show how this crucial principle is missing simply due to a lack of spiritual leadership.

  39. As somebody has said, if you want to test a persons character give them power. After receiving so much recognition and fame, if a person is able to remain humble and grounded he can definitely not be considered one among common but specially empowered by the supreme lord.

  40. Power used on Krishna’s behalf to serve Krishna and his devotees is divine. Whereas the same power used for control and self enjoyment is destructive. Hari Bol!

  41. True! Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Only responsible saintly persons can handle Power in mature manner. We have defintely seen this maturity being displayed by Radhanath Swami

  42. It’s not that giving words to vote and taking the power in hands and not utilizing it properly, its only the power should be given in the hands of one who can utilize it properly. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful message

  45. Radhanath Swami has made a very profound statement. Especially in today’s world where there has been a rampant misuse of power by a select band of people.Such people could be taught a lesson or two by undertsanding Power from the right perspective.

  46. We see today are so-called leaders in corporate circles and government who grab power without taking the responsibility to ensure welfare of the people resulting in huge scams, bankruptcy and corruptions.

    Radhanath Swami has made a cardinal point which every leader should remember.

  47. now a days people want pwoer without responsibility that is why we see people losing faith in government as they are not taking responsiblity but enjoying the power.
    Thank you swami ji for giving us the correct vision

  48. Everyone wants to show others inferior by their power, but as HH Radhanath Swami mentions it is a big responsibility as well. Very profound statement.

  50. Radhanath Swami explains the positive side of utilizing power for the benefit of the world through preaching the Lord’s glories. Of course it is also true that empowerment from the Lord only comes by His mercy.

  52. In previous ages leaders were more concerned about executing their responsibility well than about power. There are so many examples of Kings in Srimad Bhagvatam who underwent so many austerities just for the welfare of people. However these days its just about power and exploitation

  53. This is the most famous quote by Radhanath Swami. In this material world every one wants power without responsibility. Or some times one will be forced to accept responsibilities without any power. As Radhanath Swami says “The worls is made up of cheaters and cheated”.

  54. very true…..everyone wants power but no responsibilties……..but a true leader always steps up & takes responsibilities for all actions done by subordinates………nice management lesson by Radhanath Swami

  55. As Radhanath Swami points out here, it is so important to have the maturity to utilize the power properly.
