Great point! These vices create a hollow in our heart and it becomes very difficult to hold any virtues because of that.
Very true! I always get lot of inspiration from his quotes. We are very fortunate to have him our spiritual guide and teacher.
Very true and we have to work very hard for getting rid of them. One easy way is to associate with those who are sincerely trying to knock down this vices.
A very amazing quote from Radhanath Swami Maharaj. Without getting rid of these anarthas, it’s not possible for one to have love for God. Loving God means loving His children of any cast, creed, species or so.
Enlightening quote by Radhanath Swami.
inspiring quote by Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
this can be done easily by chanting hare krishna with prayerful attitude
Thank you for this wonderful quote.
Very nice quote!
Radhanath Swami inspires us to reach such lofty ideals by his personal example.
Love is really beautiful because it is eternal.so it is like flower.but as long as the bad qualities are there it is covered by illusion.all glories to maharaj.
We just won’t let go these characterstics. infact we let them loose at the slighest instance, Radhanath Swamis quote brings to fore the need task we have on hand in breaking the shackels.
Its so important to give up lust, envy, greed etc from our heart if we want to truly experience love – which is the only thing that satisfies the heart. Ever wondered why love of this world still causes so much heart aches and frustrations?
What an amazing and inspiring quote from Radhanath Swami.
HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj is very nicely explained about Bhakti Lata Bij
Love becomes elusive when ‘anarthas’ rule our hearts.No wonder we are baffled in our attempts at seeking out true love.We need the guidance of Maharaj to lead us in the path of spiritual love which is both complete and satisfying.
What a powerful lesson in how harbouring grudges or negativity, we infact debilitate our own capacity to love.
Thank you for sharing!
Amazing example quoted by Radhanath Swami, comparing love to a flower. Another lecture he compared pure love to the love expressed by a mother to a child.
